NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Nature of Business

Unless the content requires otherwise, references to “ARIAD,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” in this quarterly report refer to ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries. ARIAD is a global oncology company focused on transforming the lives of cancer patients with breakthrough medicines. The Company’s mission is to discover, develop and commercialize small-molecule drugs to treat cancer in patients with the greatest unmet medical need – aggressive cancers where current therapies are inadequate.

The Company is selling its cancer medicine, Iclusig® (ponatinib), for the treatment of adult patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (“CML”) and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (“Ph+ ALL”). In addition to commercializing Iclusig in the United States, Europe and other territories, the Company is developing Iclusig for approval in additional countries and for additional cancer indications. The Company is also developing two product candidates, brigatinib (AP26113) and AP32788. Brigatinib is being studied in patients with advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer. AP32788 is being developed for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors. Ridaforolimus, a compound that the Company discovered internally and subsequently out-licensed to Medinol, Ltd. (“Medinol”), is being developed by Medinol for use on drug-eluting stents and other medical devices. In addition to its clinical development programs, the Company has a focused drug discovery program centered on small-molecule therapies that are molecularly targeted to cell-signaling pathways implicated in cancer.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The Company has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited financial statements, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts and disclosure of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the Company’s financial statements include estimates associated with revenue recognition and the related adjustments, research and development accruals, inventory, leased buildings under construction and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments, with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less, and money market accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash balances held as collateral for outstanding letters of credit related to the lease of the Company’s laboratory and office facilities, including those currently under construction in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and for other purposes.

Table of Contents

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of 687,139 shares of common stock of REGENXBIO, Inc. (“REGENXBIO”), which became a publicly traded company in September 2015. The Company obtained these shares in connection with a license agreement it entered into with REGENXBIO in November 2010 for certain gene expression regulation technology. The Company is restricted from trading these securities until March 2016 pursuant to an agreement it entered into with REGENXBIO. The Company has classified these shares as “available for sale” investments and recognized an unrealized gain of $15.1 million, using a Level 1 valuation input, which has been excluded from the determination of net loss and is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, a separate component of stockholders’ equity, in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015. These shares had been accounted for using the equity method with a carrying value of zero due to losses incurred by REGENXBIO in previous years.

Intra-period tax allocation rules require the Company to allocate its provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as other comprehensive income. In periods in which the Company has a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, such as other comprehensive income, the Company must allocate the tax provision to the other categories of earnings. The Company then records a related tax benefit in continuing operations. The following table summarizes the fair value, accumulated other comprehensive income and intra-period tax allocation regarding the Company’s investment in REGENXBIO, at September 30, 2015.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to customers based on its evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company records receivables for all billings when amounts are due under standard terms. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due net of applicable prompt pay discounts and other contractual adjustments as well as an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company assesses the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the customer’s ability to pay its obligation and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company will write off accounts receivable when the Company determines that they are uncollectible.

Inventory

The Company outsources the manufacturing of Iclusig and uses contract manufacturers that produce the raw and intermediate materials used in the production of Iclusig as well as the finished product. The Company currently has one supplier qualified for the production of Iclusig raw materials and intermediate materials, but has qualified multiple suppliers for the remaining steps in the manufacturing process, including Iclusig finished drug product. Accordingly, the Company has concentration risk with certain steps associated with its manufacturing process and relies on its currently approved contract manufacturers for these product manufacturing steps.

Inventory is composed of raw materials, intermediate materials, which are classified as work-in-process, and finished goods, which are goods that are available for sale. The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or market. The Company determines the cost of its inventory on a specific identification basis. The Company evaluates its inventory balances quarterly and if the Company identifies excess, obsolete or unsalable inventory, it writes down its inventory to its net realizable value in the period it is identified. These adjustments are recorded based upon various factors, including the level of product manufactured by the Company, the level of product in the distribution channel, current and projected demand for the foreseeable future and the expected shelf-life of the inventory components. The Company recorded such adjustments of $217,000 and $360,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $462,000 and $3.5 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are recorded as a component of cost of product revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Inventory that is not expected to be used within one year is included in other assets, net, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Shipping and handling costs for product shipments are recorded as incurred in cost of product revenue along with costs associated with manufacturing the product sold and any inventory reserves or write-downs.

Table of Contents

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology and capitalized patent and license costs. The cost of purchased technology, patents and patent applications, costs incurred in filing patents and certain license fees are capitalized when recovery of the costs is probable. Capitalized costs related to purchased technology are amortized over the estimated useful life of the technology. Capitalized costs related to issued patents are amortized over a period not to exceed seventeen years or the remaining life of the patent, whichever is shorter, using the straight-line method. Capitalized license fees are amortized over the periods to which they relate. In addition, capitalized costs are expensed when it becomes determinable that the related patents, patent applications or technology will not be pursued.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including the above-mentioned intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Foreign Currency

A subsidiary’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which a subsidiary primarily generates and expends cash. In making the determination of the appropriate functional currency for a subsidiary, the Company considers cash flow indicators, local market indicators, financing indicators and the subsidiary’s relationship with both the parent company and other subsidiaries. For subsidiaries that are primarily a direct and integral component or extension of the parent entity’s operations, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency.

For foreign subsidiaries that transact in functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average foreign exchange rate for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into U.S. dollars in these circumstances are excluded from the determination of net loss and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. For foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during each period. Adjustments resulting from remeasurement of financial statements into U.S. dollars in these circumstances are recorded in the net loss as foreign currency gains or losses.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. When the revenue recognition criteria are not met, we defer the recognition of revenue by recording deferred revenue until such time that all criteria are met.

Product Revenue, Net

The Company sells Iclusig in the United States to a single specialty pharmacy, Biologics, Inc. (“Biologics”). Biologics dispenses Iclusig directly to patients. In Europe, the Company sells Iclusig to retail pharmacies and hospital pharmacies, which dispense Iclusig directly to patients. These specialty pharmacies, retail pharmacies and hospital pharmacies are referred to as the Company’s customers. The Company provides the right of return to customers in the United States for unopened product for a limited time before and after its expiration date. European customers are provided the right to return product only in limited circumstances, such as damaged product. Revenue is generally recognized when risk of loss and title passes to the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Prior to 2015, with the Company’s limited sales history for Iclusig and the inherent uncertainties in estimating product returns, the Company had determined that the shipments of Iclusig to its United States customers did not meet the criteria for revenue recognition until it was dispensed to the patient. Prior to 2015, the Company recognized revenue in the United States, assuming all revenue recognition criteria had been met, when Iclusig was sold by its customers to patients. As of January 1, 2015, the Company concluded that it had sufficient experience to estimate returns in the United States, as a result of over two years of sales experience. Accordingly, since January 1, 2015, the Company has recognized revenue in the United States upon shipment of Iclusig to Biologics.

The Company has written contracts or standard terms of sale with each of its customers and delivery occurs when risk of loss and title passes to the customer. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each of its customers to determine whether collection is reasonably assured. In order to conclude that the price is fixed and determinable, the Company must be able to (i) calculate its gross product revenues from the sales to its customers and (ii) reasonably estimate its net product revenues. The Company calculates gross

Table of Contents

product revenues based on the wholesale acquisition cost that the Company charges its customers for Iclusig. The Company estimates its net product revenues by deducting from its gross product revenues (i) trade allowances, such as invoice discounts for prompt payment and customer fees, (ii) estimated government and private payor rebates, chargebacks and discounts, such as Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements in the United States, (iii) estimated product returns and (iv) estimated costs of incentives offered to certain indirect customers including patients. These deductions from gross revenue to determine net revenue are also referred to as gross to net deductions.

Trade Allowances: The Company provides invoice discounts on Iclusig sales to certain of its customers for prompt payment and pays fees for certain distribution services, such as fees for certain data that its customers provide to the Company. The Company deducts the full amount of these discounts and fees from its gross product revenues at the time such discounts and fees are earned by such customers.

Rebates, Chargebacks and Discounts: In the United States, the Company contracts with Medicare, Medicaid, and other government agencies (collectively, “payers”) to make Iclusig eligible for purchase by, or for partial or full reimbursement from, such payers. The Company estimates the rebates, chargebacks and discounts it will provide to payers and deducts these estimated amounts from its gross product revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. The Company’s estimates of rebates, chargebacks and discounts are based on (1) the contractual terms of agreements in place with payers, (2) the government-mandated discounts applicable to government funded programs, and (3) the estimated payer mix. Government rebates that are invoiced directly to the Company are recorded in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In Europe, the Company is subject to mandatory rebates and discounts in markets where government-sponsored healthcare systems are the primary payers for healthcare. Estimates relating to these rebates and discounts are deducted from gross product revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. These rebates and discounts are recorded in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Other Adjustments: Other adjustments to gross revenue include co-pay assistance and product returns. The Company offers co-pay assistance rebates to commercially insured patients who have coverage for Iclusig and who reside in states that permit co-pay assistance programs. The Company’s co-pay assistance program is intended to reduce each participating patient’s portion of the financial responsibility for Iclusig’s purchase price to a specified dollar amount. In each period, the Company records the amount of co-pay assistance provided to eligible patients based on the terms of the program. The Company provides the right of return to customers in the United States for unopened product for a limited time before and after its expiration date. European customers are provided the right to return product only in limited circumstances, such as damaged product. In addition, the Company is contractually obligated to ship product with specific remaining shelf-life prior to expiry per its distribution agreements.

In 2012, prior to the Company obtaining marketing authorization for Iclusig in Europe, the French regulatory authority granted an Autorisation Temporaire d’Utilisation (ATU), or Temporary Authorization for Use, for Iclusig for the treatment of patients with CML and Ph+ ALL under a nominative program on a patient-by-patient basis. Upon completion of this program, the Company became eligible to ship Iclusig directly to customers in France as of October 1, 2013. Shipments under these programs have not met the criteria for revenue recognition as the price for these shipments is not yet fixed or determinable.

Table of Contents

The price of Iclusig in France will become fixed or determinable upon completion of pricing and reimbursement negotiations. At that time, the Company will record revenue related to cumulative shipments as of that date in France, net of amounts that will be refunded to the health authority based on the results of the pricing and reimbursement negotiations. The aggregate gross selling price of the shipments under these programs amounted to $23.3 million through September 30, 2015, of which $21.9 million was received as of September 30, 2015. Amounts received from shipments in France are recorded in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has entered into distributor arrangements for Iclusig in a number of countries including Australia, Canada, Israel, certain countries in central and eastern Europe, Turkey and Japan. The Company recognizes Iclusig net product revenue from these arrangements when all criteria for revenue recognition have been satisfied. Upfront fees are recognized over the remaining term of the agreement at the point at which all deliverables under the agreement have commenced, usually at the point when product is initially received by the distributor.

License Revenue

The Company generates revenue from license and collaboration agreements with third parties related to use of the Company’s technology and/or development and commercialization of products. Such agreements typically include payment to the Company of non-refundable upfront license fees, regulatory, clinical and commercial milestone payments, payment for services or supply of product and royalty payments on net sales. Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customer. When deliverables are separable, consideration received is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on the relative selling price of each deliverable and the appropriate revenue recognition principles are applied to each unit. For arrangements with multiple elements, where the Company determines there is one unit of accounting, revenue associated with up-front payments will be recognized over the period beginning with the commencement of the final deliverable in the arrangement and over a period reflective of the Company’s longest obligation period within the arrangement on a straight-line-basis.

At the inception of each agreement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is substantive on the basis of the contingent nature of the milestone. This evaluation includes an assessment of whether:

 

    the consideration is commensurate with either (1) our performance to achieve the milestone, or (2) the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of a specific outcome resulting from our performance to achieve the milestone,

 

    the consideration relates solely to past performance, and

 

    the consideration is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms within the arrangement.

In making this assessment, the Company evaluates factors such as the clinical, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the respective milestone, the level of effort and investment required, and whether the milestone consideration is reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. The Company recognizes revenues related to substantive milestones in full in the period in which the substantive milestone is achieved. If a milestone payment is not considered substantive, the Company recognizes the applicable milestone over the remaining period of performance.

The Company will recognize royalty revenue, if any, based upon actual and estimated net sales by the licensee of licensed products in licensed territories, and in the period the sales in the licensed territories occur.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable from customers and cash held at financial institutions. The Company believes that such customers and financial institutions are of high credit quality. As of September 30, 2015, a portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent accounts were concentrated at a single financial institution, which potentially exposes the Company to credit risks. The Company does not believe that there is significant risk of non-performance by the financial institution and the Company’s cash on deposit at this financial institution is fully liquid.

For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, one individual customer accounted for 74 percent and 76 percent of net product revenue, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, one individual customer accounted for 61 percent of accounts receivable. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, one individual customer accounted for 72 percent and 67 percent of net product revenue, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, one customer accounted for 75 percent of accounts receivable. No other customer accounted for more than 10 percent of net product revenue for either 2015 or 2014 or accounts receivable as of either September 30, 2015 or 2014.

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

The Company organizes itself into one operating segment reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, net product revenue from customers outside the United States totaled 27 percent and 28 percent of the Company’s consolidated net product revenue, respectively, with 9 percent and 17 percent, respectively, representing product revenue from customers in Germany. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, product revenue from customers outside the United States totaled 24 percent and 33 percent of the Company’s consolidated net product revenue respectively, with 9 percent and 5 percent, respectively, representing net product revenue from customers in Germany. Long lived assets outside the United States totaled $1.4 million at September 30, 2015 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended accounting guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. This guidance requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt rather than as an asset. The Company has elected early adoption of this recent guidance as of September 30, 2015. Adoption of the guidance classifies debt issuance costs from prepaid and other assets to long-term obligations, less current portion, within the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the $200 million convertible note offering in June 2014 and the $50 million royalty financing in July 2015.

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This amendment will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is evaluating the options for adoption and the impact on its financial position and results of operations.

3. License and Collaboration Agreements

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd

On December 22, 2014, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Otsuka”) pursuant to which Otsuka will commercialize and further develop Iclusig in Japan, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam (the “Territory”).

Key provisions of the Collaboration Agreement include the following:

 

    The Company has granted an exclusive, non-assignable (except to affiliates) license to Otsuka to commercialize and distribute Iclusig in the Territory.

 

    The Company has granted a co-exclusive license to Otsuka to conduct research and development in the Territory.

 

    The Company will complete its ongoing pivotal trial of Iclusig in Japan and lead the preparation of the Japanese new drug application (the “JNDA”) on behalf of Otsuka and the Company.

 

    Otsuka is responsible for filing of the JNDA on behalf of Otsuka and the Company, which is expected to occur at approximately year-end 2015.

 

    The Company and Otsuka will form and participate on a joint development and commercialization committee (the “JDCC”) to oversee activities related to Iclusig in the Territory.

 

    The Company is responsible for manufacture and supply of Iclusig to Otsuka in either bulk form or in final packaged form, as requested by Otsuka.

 

    Otsuka is responsible for completion of final manufacturing, consisting of packaging and labeling of Iclusig for distribution in the Territory, as well as pricing and all other commercial activities by Otsuka within the Territory.

Following approvals in each country, Otsuka will market and sell Iclusig and record sales. Otsuka is not allowed to manufacture bulk product, but must purchase its supply from the Company. Otsuka will be responsible for medical affairs activities, determining pricing and reimbursement and all commercial activities in the Territory. With respect to the JDCC, each party has ultimate decision making authority with respect to a specified limited set of issues, and for all other issues, the matter must be resolved by consensus or by an expedited arbitration process.

In consideration for the licenses and other rights contained in the Collaboration Agreement, Otsuka paid the Company a non-refundable

Table of Contents

upfront payment of $77.5 million, less a refundable withholding tax in Japan of $15.8 million, and has agreed to pay the Company up to $80 million in future milestone payments upon obtaining further regulatory approvals in the Territory. Otsuka will pay royalties based on a percentage of net sales in each country until the later of (i) the expiry date of the composition patent in each country, (ii) the expiration of any orphan drug exclusivity period or other statutory designation that provides similar exclusivity, or (iii) 10 years after the date of first commercial sale in such country. Otsuka will also pay for the supply of Iclusig purchased from the Company at a price based on a percentage of net sales in each country.

The Collaboration Agreement continues until the later of (x) the expiration of all royalty obligations in the Territory, or (y) the last sale by Otsuka in the Territory, or the last to expire patent in the Territory which is currently expected to be 2029. Under certain conditions, the Collaboration Agreement may be terminated by either party, in which case the Company would receive all rights to the regulatory filings related to Iclusig at our request, and the licenses granted to Otsuka would be terminated.

For accounting purposes, because of Otsuka’s ability to access the value of the distribution rights in the license absent the delivery of the other elements of the arrangement, in particular the manufacturing deliverables which remain within the Company’s control, the Company has concluded that the licenses and other deliverables do not have standalone value, and have combined all deliverables into a single unit of accounting. The nonrefundable upfront cash payment has been recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheet and is being recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis commencing in April 2015, the time at which the Company has commenced providing all elements included in the Collaboration Agreement. The Company has recognized as license revenue approximately $1.3 million and $2.6 million of the upfront fee for the three-month and nine month periods ending September 30, 2015, respectively.

The upfront payment was subject to a Japan withholding tax of $15.8 million which was remitted by Otsuka to the Japanese tax authorities. The Company determined at December 31, 2014 that the release of those funds to the Company was probable and therefore recorded a receivable for such amounts, with an offsetting amount included in deferred revenue. The Company received the $15.8 million from the Japanese tax authorities in April 2015.

Medinol Ltd.

The Company entered into a license agreement with Medinol in 2005 pursuant to which the Company granted to Medinol a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license, under its patents and technology, to develop, manufacture and sell stents and other medical devices to deliver the Company’s mTOR inhibitor, ridaforolimus, to prevent reblockage of injured vessels following stent-assisted angioplasty. The term of the license agreement extends to the later to occur of the expiration of the Company’s patents relating to the rights granted to Medinol under the license agreement or fifteen years after the first commercial sale of a product developed under the agreement.

Medinol is required under the license agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop products. The Company is required under a related supply agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply agreed-upon quantities of ridaforolimus to Medinol, and Medinol shall purchase such supply of ridaforolimus from the Company, for the development, manufacture and sale of products. The supply agreement is coterminous with the license agreement. These agreements may be terminated by either party for breach after a 90-day cure period. In addition, Medinol may terminate the agreements upon 30-day notice to the Company upon certain events, including if it determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that it is not in its business interest to continue the development of any product, and the Company may terminate the agreements upon 30-day notice to Medinol, if it determines that it is not in its business interest to continue development and regulatory approval efforts with respect to ridaforolimus.

The license agreement provides for the payment by Medinol to the Company of an upfront license fee, payments based on achievement of development, regulatory and commercial milestones and royalties based on commercial sale of products developed under the agreement. In January 2014, Medinol initiated two registration trials of its NIRsupreme™ Ridaforolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System. The commencement of enrollment in these clinical trials along with the submission of an investigational device exemption with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) triggered milestone payments to the Company of $3.8 million, which are recorded as license revenue in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014. The Company is eligible to receive additional, regulatory, clinical and commercial milestone payments of up to $34.8 million under the agreement if two products are successfully developed and commercialized.

3.625 percent Convertible Notes due 2019

On June 17, 2014, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625 percent convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “convertible notes”). The Company received net proceeds of $192.9 million from the sale of the convertible notes, after deducting fees of $6.0 million and expenses of $1.1 million. At the same time, in order to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stockholders and/or offset any cash payments in excess of the principal amount due upon conversion of the convertible notes, the Company used $43.2 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the convertible notes to pay the cost of convertible bond hedges which cost was partially offset by $27.6 million in proceeds to the Company from the related sale of warrants to the counter-party in the convertible bond hedge transaction.

The outstanding convertible note balances as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:

Royalty Financing

On July 28, 2015, the Company entered into a royalty financing agreement with PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”) under which the Company received an initial payment of $50 million in exchange for a percentage of global net revenues from sales of Iclusig until PDL receives a fixed internal rate of return on the funds it advances the Company. The Company will receive an additional $50 million one year from the effective date of the agreement with the option to receive up to an additional $100 million in one or two tranches between the six-month and twelve-month anniversary dates of the agreement. The proceeds received from PDL are referred to as “advances”.

Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay PDL a percentage of global Iclusig net product revenues subject to an annual maximum payment of $20 million per year through 2018. The rate is 2.5 percent during the first year and increases to 5 percent in the second year through the end of 2018 and 6.5 percent from 2019 until PDL receives a 10 percent internal rate of return. If the Company draws down in excess of $150 million, the 6.5 percent rate would increase to 7.5 percent until PDL receives 10 percent internal rate of return. Through September 30, 2015, the Company has paid a total of $313,000 to PDL under this agreement. Payments are deemed to be applied against advances. Interest expense related to the financing agreement was $1.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015.

Beginning in 2019, if PDL does not receive specified minimum payments each year from sales of Iclusig, then it will also have the right to receive a certain percentage of net revenues from sales of brigatinib, subject to its approval by regulatory authorities. If PDL has not received total cumulative payments under this agreement that are at least equal to the amounts PDL has advanced to the Company by the fifth anniversary of each funding date, the Company is required to pay PDL an amount equal to the shortfall.

PDL retains the option to require the Company to repurchase the then outstanding net advances, together with additional payments representing return on investment as described below (the “put” option), in the event the Company experiences a change of control, undergoes certain bankruptcy events, transfers any of its interests in Iclusig (other than pursuant to a license agreement, development, commercialization, co-promotion, collaboration, partnering or similar agreement), transfers all or substantially all of its assets, or breaches certain of the covenants, representations or warranties made under the agreement. Similarly, the Company has the option to terminate the agreement at any time by payment of the then outstanding net advances, together with additional payments representing return on investment as described below (the “call” option). Both the put and call options can be exercised at a price which is equal to the greater of (a) the then outstanding net advances and an amount that would generate an internal rate of return to PDL of 10 percent after taking into account the amount and timing of all payments made to PDL by the Company or (b) a multiple of the then outstanding net advances of 1.15 if exercised on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, 1.20 if exercised after the first anniversary but on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing date or 1.30 if exercised after the second anniversary of the closing date.

In connection with the agreement, the Company also entered into a security agreement with PDL on the same date as the royalty financing agreement. Under the security agreement, the Company granted PDL a security interest in certain assets relating to Iclusig, including all of the Company’s revenues from sales of Iclusig covered by the royalty financing agreement, a certain segregated deposit account established under the royalty financing agreement, and certain intellectual property, license agreements, and regulatory approvals related to Iclusig. The collateral set forth in the security agreement secures the Company’s obligations under the royalty financing agreement, including its obligation to pay all amounts due thereunder.

For accounting purposes, the agreement has been classified as a debt financing as the Company will have significant continuing involvement in the sale of Iclusig and other products which might be covered by the agreement, the parties have the right to cancel the agreement as described above, PDL’s rate of return is implicitly limited by the terms of the transaction, volatility in the sale of Iclusig and other products would have no effect on PDL’s expected ultimate return, and PDL has certain rights in the event that product sales and related payments under this agreement are insufficient to pay down the Company’s obligations.

In connection with the transaction, the Company recorded the initial net proceeds as long-term debt. The Company will impute interest expense associated with this borrowing using the effective interest rate method and will record a corresponding accrued interest liability. The effective interest rate is calculated based on the rate that would enable the debt to be repaid in full over the anticipated life of the arrangement, including the required 10 percent internal rate of return to PDL. Determining the effective interest rate requires judgment and is based on significant assumptions related to estimates of the amounts and timing of future revenue streams. Determination of these assumptions is highly subjective and different assumptions could lead to materially different outcomes.

The Company has evaluated the Company’s call option and PDL’s put option in accordance with ASC 815 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and determined that the put option is an embedded derivative. This item is being accounted for as a derivative and the estimated fair value of the put option is carried as part of the carrying value of the related liability, and was not material as of the date of the agreement or September 30, 2015.

Facility Lease Obligation

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has recorded a facility lease obligation related to its lease for a new facility under construction in Cambridge, Massachusetts. See notes 5 and 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for information regarding the lease and related asset under construction. During the construction period the Company is capitalizing the costs as a component of construction in process with a corresponding credit to facility lease obligation.

The Company expects to complete construction and occupy the facility in the third quarter of 2016. Under terms of the lease, the Company commenced making lease payments in March 2015. During the construction period a portion of the lease payment is allocated to land lease expense with the remainder accounted for as a reduction of the obligation.

9. Leases and Other Commitments

Facility Leases

The Company conducts the majority of its operations in a 100,000 square foot office and laboratory facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts under a non-cancelable operating lease that extends to July 2019 with two consecutive five-year renewal options. The Company maintains an outstanding letter of credit of $1.4 million in accordance with the terms of the amended lease. In May 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an additional 26,000 square feet of office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts which expires in August 2017. Future non-cancelable minimum annual rental payments through July 2019 under these leases are $1.9 million remaining in 2015, $7.5 million in 2016, $7.1 million in 2017, $6.1 million in 2018 and $3.6 million in 2019.

Binney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts

In January 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 244,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in two adjacent, connected buildings which are under construction in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Under the terms of the original lease, the Company leased all of the rentable space in one of the two buildings and a portion of the available space in the second building. In September 2013, the Company entered into a lease amendment to lease all of the remaining space, approximately 142,000 square feet, in the second building, for an aggregate of 386,000 square feet in both buildings. The terms of the lease amendment were consistent with the terms of the original lease. Construction of the core and shell of the building was completed in March 2015, at which time, pursuant to a second amendment to the lease in March 2015, the Company commenced making lease payments. Construction of tenant improvements is in process and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016, at which time the Company expects to occupy the buildings.

In connection with this lease, the landlord is providing a tenant improvement allowance for the costs associated with the design, engineering, and construction of tenant improvements for the leased facility. The tenant improvements will be in accordance with the Company’s plans and include fit-out of the buildings to construct appropriate laboratory and office space, subject to approval by the landlord. To the extent the stipulated tenant allowance provided by the landlord is exceeded, the Company is obligated to fund all costs incurred in excess of the tenant allowance. The scope of the planned tenant improvements do not qualify as “normal tenant improvements” under the lease accounting guidance. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Company is the deemed owner of the buildings during the construction period.

As construction progresses, the Company records the project construction costs incurred as an asset, along with a corresponding facility lease obligation, on the consolidated balance sheet for the total amount of project costs incurred whether funded by the Company or the landlord. Upon completion of the buildings, the Company will determine if the asset and corresponding financing obligation should continue to be carried on its consolidated balance sheet under the appropriate accounting guidance. Based on the current terms of the lease, the Company expects to continue to be the deemed owner of the buildings upon completion of the construction period. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has recorded construction in progress and a facility lease obligation of $225.9 million and $220.6 million, respectively, including the current portion of the obligation of $4.0 million included in current liabilities.

The lease has an initial term of 15 years from substantial completion of the buildings with options to renew for three terms of five years each at market-based rates. The base rent is subject to increases over the term of the lease. Based on the original and amended leased space, the non-cancelable minimum annual lease payments by calendar year beginning upon commencement of the lease are $2.4 million in 2015, $8.7 million in 2016, $25.5 million in 2017, $31.0 million in 2018, $31.5 million in 2019 and 357.4 million in total thereafter, plus the Company’s share of the facility operating expenses and other costs that are reimbursable to the landlord under the lease.

The Company maintains a letter of credit as security for the lease of $9.2 million, which is supported by restricted cash.

In August 2015, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for approximately 160,000 square feet of the total leased space in the Binney Street facility. The sublease has an initial term of 10 years from the rent commencement date which is expected to be in the third quarter of 2016 with an option to extend for the remainder of the initial term of the Company’s underlying lease. The sublease

rent is subject to increases over the term of the lease. Based on the agreement, during the initial term the non-cancelable minimum annual sublease payments by calendar year beginning upon the rent commencement date of the sublease are approximately $5.3 million in 2016, $10.7 million in 2017, $10.9 million in 2018, $11.1 million in 2019 and $11.3 million in 2020 and $65.6 million in total thereafter, plus the subtenant’s share of the facility operating expenses.

Lausanne, Switzerland

In January 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 22,000 square feet of office space in a building in Lausanne, Switzerland, which the Company occupied in 2014. The lease has an initial term of ten years, with options to extend the term and an early termination right at the Company’s option after five years. Future non-cancelable minimum annual lease payments under the lease are expected to be approximately $0.3 million remaining in 2015, $1.1 million in 2016, $1.0 million in 2017, $1.1 million in 2018 and 2019 and $4.4 million in total thereafter.

Total rent expense for the leases described above as well as other Company leases was $2.8 million, and $1.9 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $7.3 million and $5.7 million for the nine month-periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Contingent rent for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $191,000 and $167,000 respectively, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $574,000 and $519,000 respectively.

Total future non-cancelable minimum annual rental payments for the leases described above as well as other Company leases, for the next five years and thereafter are $4.7 million, $18.1 million, $33.7 million, $38.1 million, $36.2 million and $361.7 million, respectively.

Other Commitments

The Company has entered into employment agreements with each of the officers of the Company. The agreements for these officers have remaining terms as of September 30, 2015 extending through the end of 2016 or 2017, providing for aggregate base salaries of $2.3 million for the remainder of 2015, $13.3 million for 2016 and $8.3 million for 2017.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. All such measurements are Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Our marketable securities, consisting of shares of common stock of REGENXBIO, are classified as Level 1 assets as they have readily observable prices, and therefore a reliable fair market value as of September 30, 2015. The fair value of the convertible notes, which differs from their carrying value, is influenced by interest rates and stock price and stock price volatility and is determined by prices for the convertible notes observed in market trading. The market for trading of the convertible notes is not considered to be an active market and therefore the estimate of fair value is based on Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of the convertible notes, face value of $200 million, was $196.9 million at September 30, 2015 and $203.4 million at December 31, 2014, respectively.

12. Stock Compensation

ARIAD Stock Option and Stock Plans

The Company’s 2001, 2006 and 2014 stock option and stock plans provide for the award of nonqualified and incentive stock options, stock grants, restricted stock units, performance share units and other equity-based awards to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. Stock options become exercisable as specified in the related option certificate or option agreement, typically over a three or four-year period, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock grants, restricted stock units and performance share units provide the recipient with ownership of common stock subject to terms of vesting, any rights the Company may have to repurchase the shares granted or other restrictions. The 2001 and 2006 plans have no shares remaining available for grant, although existing stock options granted under these plans remain outstanding. As of September 30, 2015, there were 9,473,048 shares available for awards under the 2014 plan. The Company generally issues new shares upon the exercise or vesting of stock plan awards.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and reserved 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under this plan. The ESPP was amended in June 2008 to reserve an additional 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance and the plan was further amended in 2009 and in June 2014 to reserve an additional 750,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to each of those amendments. Under this plan, substantially all of the Company’s employees may, through payroll withholdings, purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of 85 percent of the lesser of the fair market value at the beginning or end of each three-month withholding period. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 193,178 and 185,243 shares of common stock were issued under the plan, respectively. Compensation cost is equal to the fair value of the discount on the date of grant and is recognized as compensation in the period of purchase.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s statements of operations included total compensation cost from awards under the plans and purchases under the ESPP for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, as follows:

Stock Options

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally vest ratably over three or four years and have contractual terms of ten years. Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and compensation cost is recognized based on such fair value over the period of vesting on a straight-line basis.

Stock option activity under the Company’s stock plans for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 was as follows:

Stock and Stock Unit Grants

Stock and stock unit grants carry restrictions as to resale for periods of time or vesting provisions over time as specified in the grant. Stock and stock unit grants are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, vesting period or period during which restrictions remain on the common stock or stock units granted.

Stock and stock unit activity under the Company’s stock plans for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 was as follows:

 

     Number of

The total fair value of stock and stock unit awards that vested as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $9.2 million and $4.9 million, for the period, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense for restricted shares or units that have been granted and are probable to become vested was $16.8 million at September 30, 2015 and will be recognized over 1.6 years on a weighted average basis.

Included in the table above are outstanding performance share units which were awarded from 2012 to 2015 as noted below:

2015      731,300       Iclusig clinical trial enrollment (315,000 units); 2015 revenues from sales of Iclusig (315,000 units); total relative return on common stock 2015-2017 (101,300 units)

The Company recognizes compensation expense for performance share units when the achievement of the performance metric is determined to be probable of occurrence. The total number of units earned, and related compensation cost, may be up to 60 percent higher depending on the level or timing of achievement of the metric as defined in the specific award agreement.

13. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of potential common shares. The computation of potential common shares has been performed using the treasury stock method. Because of the net loss reported in each period, diluted and basic net loss per share amounts are the same.

The calculation of net loss and the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

15. Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company’s tax provision reflects that the Company has an international corporate structure and certain subsidiaries are profitable on a stand-alone basis. Accordingly, a tax provision is reflected for the taxes incurred in such jurisdictions. In addition, the Company has recognized a prepaid tax related to the tax consequences arising from intercompany transactions and is amortizing such prepaid tax over the period that the assets transferred are being amortized. The total benefit from (provision for) income taxes was $5.8 million and $(154,000) for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $5.3 million and $(379,000) for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $6.1 million related to the $15.1 million unrealized gain associated with the change in market value of its marketable securities for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015.

The Company does not recognize a tax benefit for uncertain tax positions unless it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit that is recorded for these positions is measured at the largest amount of cumulative benefit that has greater than a 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Deferred tax assets that do not meet these recognition criteria are not recorded and the Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions that may result in tax payments. If such unrecognized tax benefits were realized and not subject to valuation allowances, the entire amount would impact the tax provision. No uncertain tax positions are expected to be resolved within the next twelve months. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, the Internal Revenue Service completed its audit of the Company’s 2012 U.S. federal income tax return, and issued a “no-change” letter indicating that no adjustments would be made to the return as filed.

16. Restructuring Actions

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company incurred expenses of $4.8 million associated with employee workforce reductions of approximately 155 positions implemented in November 2013. The Company recorded $2.2 million of the employee separation costs in research and development expense and $2.6 million in selling, general and administrative expense. The restructuring charges were paid by the end of September 30, 2014.

17. Defined Benefit Pension Obligation

The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan for employees in its Switzerland subsidiary. The plan provides benefits to employees upon retirement, death or disability.

18. Litigation

On October 10, 2013, October 17, 2013, December 3, 2013 and December 6, 2013, purported shareholder class actions, styled Jimmy Wang v. ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., James L. Burch v. ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Greater Pennsylvania Carpenters’ Pension Fund v. ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al, and Nabil Elmachtoub v. ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al, respectively, were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “District Court”), naming the Company and certain of its officers as defendants. The lawsuits allege that the defendants made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact regarding clinical and safety data for Iclusig in its public disclosures during the period from December 12, 2011 through October 8, 2013 or October 17, 2013, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On January 9, 2014, the District Court consolidated the actions and appointed lead plaintiffs. On February 18, 2014, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint as contemplated by the order of the District Court. The amended complaint extends the class period for the Securities Exchange Act claims through October 30, 2013. In addition, plaintiffs allege that certain of the Company’s officers, directors and certain underwriters made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact regarding clinical and safety data for Iclusig in connection with the Company’s January 24, 2013 follow-on public offering of common stock in violation of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. On April 14, 2014, the defendants and the underwriters filed separate motions to dismiss the amended complaint. On June 10, 2014, the District Court heard oral argument on the motion to dismiss. On March 24, 2015, the District Court granted the defendants’ and the underwriters’ motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint in these consolidated actions. On April 21, 2015, the plaintiffs filed an appeal of the District Court’s decision to grant the motions to dismiss with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Briefing on the plaintiffs’ appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has been completed, and the Company expects a hearing to be scheduled.

On March 11, 2015, a product liability lawsuit, styled Thomas Montalbano, Jr. v. ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida naming the Company as defendant. The lawsuit alleges that the Company’s cancer medicine Iclusig was defective, dangerous and lacked adequate warnings when the plaintiff used it from July to August 2013. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages, punitive damages and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. On May 18, 2015, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in this action. On July 31, 2015, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida heard oral argument on the Company’s motion to dismiss the complaint. On August 4, 2015, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with respect to the plaintiff’s cause of action for punitive damages and denied the remainder of the Company’s motion to dismiss. In response, on August 7, 2015, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint asserts punitive damages as a remedy, in addition to seeking unspecified monetary damages and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. The parties are currently engaged in discovery.

The Company believes these actions are without merit. At this time, the Company has not recorded a liability related to damages in connection with these matters because it believes that any potential loss is not probable or reasonably estimable under U.S. GAAP. In addition, due to the early stages of these matters described above, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto included herein, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Overview

ARIAD is a global oncology company focused on transforming the lives of cancer patients with breakthrough medicines. Our mission is to discover, develop and commercialize small-molecule drugs to treat cancer in patients with the greatest and most urgent unmet medical need – aggressive cancers where current therapies are inadequate.

We are currently commercializing or developing the following three products and product candidates:

 

    Iclusig® (ponatinib) is our first approved cancer medicine, which we are commercializing in the United States, Europe and other territories for the treatment of certain patients with rare forms of leukemia.

 

    Brigatinib (previously known as AP26113) is our most advanced drug candidate, which we are developing for the treatment of certain patients with a form of non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC.

 

    AP32788 is our most recent, internally discovered drug candidate. In December 2014, we nominated AP32788 for clinical development. We are conducting studies necessary to support the filing of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which we expect to submit by year-end 2015.

These products and product candidates complement our earlier discovery of ridaforolimus, which we have out-licensed for development in drug-eluting stents and other medical devices for cardiovascular indications, and rimiducid (AP1903), which we have out-licensed for development in novel cellular immunotherapies. All of our product candidates that we are developing or have out-licensed were discovered internally by our scientists based on our expertise in computational chemistry and structure-based drug design.

On April 29, 2015, we announced the decision of our founder, Harvey J. Berger, M.D., to retire as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company upon the appointment of his permanent successor or December 31, 2015, whichever is earlier. Following the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, we expect that we will engage in a review of our strategic and operating plans, and it is possible that changes to our near- and long-term objectives will be adopted. We cannot anticipate at this time what changes, if any, will result from that review. Accordingly, the disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate to our currently existing strategic and operating plans. All forward-looking statements with respect to our plans, operations, programs, anticipated performance, and similar matters, are provided subject to this known uncertainty, which could cause actual results to differ materially.

Iclusig (ponatinib)

Commercialization

As noted above, Iclusig is approved in the United States, Europe and other territories for the treatment of certain patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML, and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or Ph+ ALL.

In the United States, we are distributing Iclusig through a single specialty pharmacy. We employ an experienced and trained sales force and other professional staff, including account specialists, regional business directors, corporate account directors and medical science liaisons, who target the approximate 5,000 physicians who generate the majority of prescriptions of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (“TKI”), for patients with CML and Ph+ ALL in the United States.

We and our distributors are now selling Iclusig in Germany, the United Kingdom, Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Australia and Canada. In addition, we are distributing Iclusig to patients in France prior to pricing and reimbursement approval as permitted under French regulations. Full pricing and reimbursement approvals in France and other European countries are expected by the end of 2015. In total, we anticipate that Iclusig will be available for sale in 16 European countries by the end of 2015.

We have established headquarters for our European operations in Switzerland where we manage all aspects of our business in Europe, including sales and marketing, distribution and supply chain, regulatory, medical affairs and supporting functions. We employ personnel in key countries in Europe to build company and brand awareness, manage the local country pricing and reimbursement process and market Iclusig upon obtaining all necessary approvals.

Table of Contents

In certain ex-U.S. territories, we are providing for the sale and distribution of Iclusig through partnership or distributorship arrangements. For example, in December 2014, we entered into a co-development and commercialization agreement with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Otsuka, under which Otsuka has exclusive rights to commercialize Iclusig in Japan and nine other Asian countries and has agreed to fund future clinical development in those countries. We expect to file for marketing approval in Japan in collaboration with Otsuka at approximately year-end 2015. In addition, we have entered into distributorship agreements with third parties to provide for distribution of Iclusig in Australia and New Zealand, Israel, certain countries in central and eastern Europe, Turkey and Canada.

Ongoing Development of Iclusig

Initial approval of Iclusig in the United States and Europe was based on results from our pivotal Phase 2 PACE clinical trial in patients with CML or Ph+ ALL who were resistant or intolerant to prior TKI therapy, or who had the T315I mutation of BCR-ABL. Our PACE trial is fully enrolled and we continue to treat and follow patients in this trial who continue to respond to treatment. We also continue to treat and follow patients in our first, Phase 1 clinical trial of Iclusig in heavily pre-treated patients with resistant or intolerant CML or Ph+ALL, which was initiated in 2008; our Phase 2 clinical trial in CML patients in Japan; and our Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In addition, Iclusig is being studied in ongoing investigator-sponsored trials in settings including first line and second line CML, acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, and medullary thyroid cancer, or MTC. Our development of Iclusig also includes ongoing activities in manufacturing, quality, safety and regulatory functions.

We are initiating studies designed to better understand the safety profile of Iclusig in resistant and intolerant CML and Ph+ ALL patients, with the objective of improving the balance of benefit and risk for these patients as post-marketing regulatory commitments, as well as studies designed to evaluate its use in earlier lines of therapy. These studies include:

 

    a dose-ranging trial of Iclusig, which we initiated in August 2015, in approximately 450 patients with chronic phase CML, who have become resistant to at least two prior TKIs. This study, known as the OPTIC trial, is designed to inform the optimal use of Iclusig in these patients.

 

    a randomized, Phase 3 trial in approximately 600 patients with chronic phase CML who have experienced treatment failure after imatinib therapy, designed to evaluate two doses of Iclusig compared to the standard dose of nilotinib. This trial is expected to open for enrollment prior to year-end 2015.

 

    an investigator-sponsored, early-switch trial of Iclusig in approximately 1,000 second-line chronic phase CML patients that will be conducted in the United Kingdom, designed to inform the use of Iclusig as part of the emerging paradigm in CML for early switching of TKIs in patients with suboptimal responses. This trial, known as SPIRIT3, is expected to open for enrollment in 2016.

Brigatinib (AP26113)

Brigatinib (AP26113) is an investigational inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase, or ALK. We are currently conducting a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of brigatinib, which we fully enrolled in the third quarter of 2015. The primary objectives of the Phase 1 portion of the trial were to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose for further study and to characterize its safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity. The primary purpose of the Phase 2 portion of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of brigatinib in patients with TKI-naïve and crizotinib-resistant ALK-positive NSCLC, including in patients with brain metastases after crizotinib treatment. Results of this trial to date show robust anti-tumor activity in patients with TKI-naïve and crizotinib-resistant ALK-positive NSCLC, including in patients with brain metastases after crizotinib treatment. Crizotinib is the currently available first-generation ALK inhibitor.

 

22


Table of Contents

We commenced a pivotal Phase 2 trial of brigatinib in the first quarter of 2014 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who were previously treated with crizotinib, known as the ALTA trial. The ALTA trial is designed to determine the safety and efficacy of brigatinib in refractory ALK+ NSCLC patients. We anticipate that the results of the ALTA trial will form the basis for our application for initial regulatory approval. We achieved full patient enrollment in the ALTA trial in the third quarter of 2015 and, subject to the results of our clinical trials, expect to file for approval of brigatinib in the United States in the third quarter of 2016.

In the first half of 2016, we plan to initiate a front-line Phase 3 clinical trial of brigatinib in ALK+ NSCLC patients not previously treated with an ALK inhibitor. We expect to enroll approximately 300 patients in this trial, who will be randomized to treatment with either brigatinib or crizotinib.

Our development of brigatinib also includes key product and process development activities to support our clinical trials as well as the anticipated filing of a New Drug Application, or NDA, and potential commercial launch of the product, quality and stability studies, clinical and non-clinical pharmacology studies and pharmacovigilance and regulatory activities.

AP32788

At the end of 2014, we nominated our next internally discovered development candidate, AP32788. This orally active TKI has a unique profile against a validated class of mutated targets in non-small cell lung cancer and certain other solid tumors and may address an unmet medical need. We are currently performing pharmacology, toxicology and other studies necessary to support the filing of an Investigational New Drug application, or IND application, for AP32788 that we expect to file by year-end 2015. We expect to begin a Phase 1/2 proof-of-concept trial in 2016.

Ridaforolimus

We have entered into a license agreement with Medinol Ltd., or Medinol, pursuant to which Medinol is developing drug-eluting stents and other medical devices to deliver ridaforolimus to prevent restenosis, or reblockage, of injured vessels following interventions in which stents are used in conjunction with balloon angioplasty. In 2014, Medinol initiated two registration trials in the United States and other countries of its NIRsupremeTM Ridaforolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System incorporating ridaforolimus and submitted an investigational device exemption, or IDE, to the FDA. These actions triggered milestone payments to us of $3.8 million in 2014.

Our Discovery Programs

Our research and development programs are focused on discovering and developing small-molecule drugs that regulate cell signaling for the treatment of cancer. Many of the critical functions of cells, such as cell growth, differentiation, gene transcription, metabolism, motility and survival, are dependent on signals carried back and forth from the cell surface to the nucleus and within the cell through a system of molecular pathways. When disrupted or over-stimulated, such pathways may trigger diseases such as cancer. Our research focuses on exploring cell-signaling pathways, identifying their role in specific cancers and cancer subtypes, and discovering drug candidates to treat those cancers by interfering with the aberrant signaling pathways of cells. The specific cellular proteins blocked by our product candidates have been well characterized as cancer targets. Iclusig, brigatinib, AP32788 and ridaforolimus were each discovered internally through the integrated use of structure-based drug design and computational chemistry, and their targets have been validated with techniques such as functional genomics, proteomics, and chemical genetics.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial position and results of operations are affected by subjective and complex judgments, particularly in the areas of revenue recognition, accrued product development expenses, inventory, leased buildings under construction and stock-based compensation expense. We evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, read Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no changes in those policies or in the method of developing the estimates used to apply those policies, except as discussed below.

Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued amended accounting guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. This guidance requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt rather than as an asset. We have elected early adoption of this recent guidance as of September 30, 2015. Adoption of the guidance reclassifies debt issuance costs from prepaid and other assets to long-term debt, less current portion, within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria for revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. When the revenue recognition criteria are not met, we defer the recognition of revenue by recording deferred revenue until such time that all criteria are met.

Product Revenue, Net

We sell Iclusig in the United States to a single specialty pharmacy, Biologics, Inc., or Biologics. Biologics dispenses Iclusig directly to patients. In Europe, we sell Iclusig to retail pharmacies and hospital pharmacies, which dispense Iclusig directly to patients. These specialty pharmacies, retail pharmacies and hospital pharmacies are referred to as our customers. We provide the right of return to customers in the United States for unopened product for a limited time before and after its expiration date. European customers are provided the right to return product only in limited circumstances, such as damaged product. Revenue is generally recognized when risk of loss and title passes to the customer, assuming we can estimate potential returns. Prior to 2015, with our limited sales history for Iclusig and the inherent uncertainties in estimating product returns, we had determined that the shipments of Iclusig to our United States customers did not meet the criteria for revenue recognition until it was dispensed to the patient. As of January 1, 2015, we concluded that we had sufficient experience to estimate returns in the United States, as a result of over two years of sales experience. Accordingly, since January 1, 2015, we have recognized net product revenue in the United States upon shipment of Iclusig to Biologics.

We have entered into distributor arrangements for Iclusig in a number of countries including Australia, Canada, Israel, certain countries in central and eastern Europe, Turkey and Japan. We recognize Iclusig net product revenue from these arrangements when all criteria for revenue recognition have been satisfied. Upfront fees are recognized over the remaining term of the agreement at the point at which all deliverables under the agreement have commenced, usually at the point when product is initially received by the distributor.

Royalty Financing

On July 28, 2015, we entered into a royalty financing agreement with PDL BioPharma, Inc., or PDL, under which we received an initial payment of $50 million in exchange for a percentage of global net revenues from sales of Iclusig until PDL receives a fixed internal rate of return on the funds it advances to us. We will receive an additional $50 million one year from the effective date of the agreement with the option to receive up to an additional $100 million in one or two tranches between the six-month and twelve-month anniversary dates of the agreement. Additional details regarding the terms of this agreement are found in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this report.

For accounting purposes, the agreement has been classified as a debt financing as we will have significant continuing involvement in the sale of Iclusig and other products which might be covered by the agreement, the parties have the right to cancel the agreement, PDL’s rate of return is implicitly limited by the terms of the transaction, volatility in the sale of Iclusig and other products would have no effect on PDL’s expected ultimate return, and PDL has certain rights in the event that product sales and related payments under this agreement are insufficient to pay down our obligations.

In connection with the transaction, we recorded the initial net proceeds as a long-term debt. We will impute interest expense associated with this borrowing using the effective interest rate method and will record a corresponding accrued interest liability. The effective interest rate is calculated based on the rate that would enable the debt to be repaid in full over the anticipated life of the arrangement, including the required 10 percent of that return to PDL. Determining the effective interest rate requires judgment and is based on significant assumptions related to estimates of the amounts and timing of future revenue streams. Determination of these assumptions is highly subjective and different assumptions could lead to materially different outcomes.

We have evaluated our call option and PDL’s put option in accordance with ASC 815 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and determined that the put option is an embedded derivative. This item is being accounted for as a derivative and the estimated fair value of the put option is carried as part of the carrying value of the related liability and was not material as of the date of the agreement or September 30, 2015.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenue

The increase in product revenue reflects increasing demand for Iclusig in the United States and Europe, along with price increases in the United States described below. In the United States, net product revenue increased from $10.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 to $20.3 million in the corresponding period in 2015 due to an increase in units sold of 87 percent and the impact of a 9 percent price increase in February 2015 and a 6 percent price increase in September 2015. In Europe, net product revenue increased from $4.0 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 to $7.2 million in the corresponding period in 2015, due to expanded access in additional countries and the positive completion of a regulatory review of the safety of Iclusig in late 2014. Product revenue is reduced by certain gross to net deductions. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, gross to net deductions, as a percentage of gross revenue, were approximately 13.7 percent as compared to 8.6 percent for the corresponding period in 2014. The increase was primarily related to the impact of higher rebates associated with higher Medicaid utilization plus government mandated discounts in certain European countries where we have commenced sales of Iclusig.

We recognized $1.5 million of license revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily related to the amortization of the up-front payment of $77.5 million from our Iclusig co-development and commercialization agreement with Otsuka. We recognized $183,000 of license revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2014 pursuant to license agreements related to ridaforolimus and our ARGENT technology.

We expect product revenue to increase in the final fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 as we continue to market and distribute Iclusig in the United States and Europe. We also expect license revenue in the final fiscal quarter of 2015 to be comparable to license revenue recognized in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Product Revenue

Our cost of product revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014, includes the following:

Prior to receiving regulatory approval for Iclusig from the FDA in December 2012, we expensed, as research and development costs, all costs incurred in the manufacturing of Iclusig to be sold upon commercialization. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2013, we wrote down significant amounts of inventory that we estimated to be excess inventory. For Iclusig sold in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the majority of manufacturing costs incurred had previously been expensed. Therefore, the cost of inventory sold included limited manufacturing costs and the cost of packaging and labeling for commercial sales.

Cost of product revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 also includes a provision for excess inventory of $217,000 and $360,000, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $20.6 million, or 75 percent, to $48.2 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, compared to $27.6 million in the corresponding period in 2014, for the reasons set forth below.

The research and development process necessary to develop a pharmaceutical product for commercialization is subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. This process typically takes years to complete and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Current requirements include:

 

  preclinical toxicology, pharmacology and metabolism studies, as well as in vivo efficacy studies in relevant animal models of disease;

 

  manufacturing of drug product for preclinical studies and clinical trials and ultimately for commercial supply;

 

  submission of the results of preclinical studies and information regarding manufacturing and control and proposed clinical protocol to the FDA in an IND (or similar filings with regulatory agencies outside the United States);

 

  conduct of clinical trials designed to provide data and information regarding the safety and efficacy of the product candidate in humans; and

 

  submission of all the results of testing to the FDA in an NDA (or similar filings with regulatory agencies outside the United States).

Upon approval by the appropriate regulatory authorities in a territory, including in some countries approval of product pricing and reimbursement, we may commence commercial marketing and distribution of the product in that territory.

We group our research and development, or R&D, expenses into two major categories: direct external expenses and all other R&D expenses. Direct external expenses consist of costs of outside parties to conduct and manage clinical trials, to develop manufacturing processes and manufacture product candidates, to conduct laboratory studies and similar costs related to our clinical programs. These costs are accumulated and tracked by product candidate. All other R&D expenses consist of costs to compensate personnel, to purchase lab supplies and services, to lease, operate and maintain our facility, equipment and overhead and similar costs of our research and development efforts. These costs apply to our clinical programs as well as our preclinical studies and discovery research efforts. Product candidates are designated as clinical programs once we have filed an IND with the FDA, or a similar filing with regulatory agencies outside the United States, for the purpose of commencing clinical trials in humans.

Our R&D expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014, were as follows:

Direct external expenses for Iclusig were $13.6 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $8.4 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The increase is primarily due to increases in clinical trial costs of $6.2 million and other support costs of $2.2 million. Increases in clinical trial costs relate primarily to initiation of several new trials designed to better understand the safety profile of Iclusig in resistant and intolerant CML and Ph+ ALL patients and to evaluate its use in earlier lines of therapy and investigator sponsored trials. Increases in other support costs relate to ongoing studies to assess the safety profile and risk factors associated with cardio vascular occlusive events; activities in support of commercializing Iclusig in Canada and activities related to preparation of a NDA filing in Japan. We expect that our direct external expenses for Iclusig in the final fiscal quarter of 2015 will increase when compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 as we continue to treat patients in our ongoing clinical trials, initiate additional clinical trials and conduct additional studies to support continued development of Iclusig.

Direct external expenses for brigatinib were $9.3 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $5.7 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The increase in expenses for brigatinib was due primarily to an increase of $2.4 million in contract manufacturing cost, an increase in other support costs of $572,000 and an increase in clinical trial costs of $2.8 million. The increase in contract manufacturing costs was due to costs related to product and process development activities of brigatinib, manufacturing of product in support of clinical trials and activities in preparation for regulatory filings. Increases in other costs related to pharmacology and toxicology studies conducted to support regulatory filings. Increases in clinical trial costs were due to increased costs in the now fully enrolled ALTA pivotal trial for brigatinib, which we initiated in March 2014, and initiation of clinical pharmacology studies in support of this program. We expect that our direct external expense for brigatinib in the final fiscal quarter of 2015 will increase as compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 as we continue to treat patients in our Phase 1/2 clinical trial and our ALTA clinical trial, and as we prepare to initiate a front-line Phase 3 clinical trial of brigatinib in comparison with crizotinib in ALK+ NSCLC patients in 2016 and conduct other studies to support potential regulatory approval.

All other R&D expenses increased by $6.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. This increase was due to an increase in personnel expenses of $2.7 million, an increase in other pre-clinical programs of $1.8 million, an increase of general and other expenses of $944,000, and an increase in overhead expenses of $.5 million. We expect that all other R&D expenses will remain consistent in the final fiscal quarter of 2015 when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 9 percent, to $36.7 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, compared to $33.6 million in the corresponding period in 2014. Personnel expenses increased by $3.6 million in the three-month period ending September 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding period in 2014, due to expenses associated with the pending retirement of our chief executive officer of $2.9 million, including severance and stock based compensation, as well as growth in the number of our employees. Expenses for outside professional services decreased by $1.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding period in 2014, reflecting a decrease in legal expense, offset by an increase in consulting services. Overhead and general expenses increased $1.1 million. We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in the final fiscal quarter of 2015 as we continue to invest in the commercialization of Iclusig in the United States and Europe.

We expect that our quarterly operating expenses in total will increase in the final fiscal quarter of 2015 for the reasons described above. Operating expenses may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The actual amount of any increase in operating expenses will depend on, among other things, costs related to the progress of our product development programs, including the initiation of and increases in enrollment in our clinical trials of Iclusig and brigatinib, results of continuing non-clinical studies and the costs of product and process development activities and product manufacturing for Iclusig and brigatinib, the status of pre-clinical studies of AP23788, costs related to regulatory requirements and filings for Iclusig, brigatinib, and our other product candidates, on-going Iclusig commercialization activities in the United States, Europe and other territories and related supporting costs.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income/Expense

Interest income was $20,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $19,000 in the corresponding period in 2014.

Interest expense increased to $5.2 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 from $3.7 million in the corresponding period in 2014 as a result of $3.9 million in interest expense related to our $200 million convertible note issuance completed in June 2014, and $1.3 million related to our royalty financing completed in July 2015, offset in part by the payoff of our bank term loan in June 2014.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

We recognized net foreign exchange transaction gains of $291,000 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to a gain of $881,000 in the corresponding period in 2014. The gains are a result of our European operations, as we carry accounts denominated in foreign currencies.

Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes

Our benefit from income taxes for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 was $5.8 million compared to a provision of $154,000 in the corresponding period in 2014, and primarily reflects a tax benefit recorded related to the use of net losses generated by continuing operations to offset tax provided on an unrealized gain on marketable securities recorded in other comprehensive income.

Operating Results

We reported a loss from operations of $56.4 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to a loss from operations of $47.1 million in the corresponding period in 2014, an increase of $9.2 million, or 20 percent. We also reported a net loss of $55.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $50.1 million in the corresponding period in 2014, an increase in net loss of $5.4 million or 11 percent, and a net loss per share of $0.29 and $0.27 respectively. The increase in net loss is largely due to the increase of $20.6 million in research and development expenses and $3.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, offset in part by an increase in product revenue of $13.0 million described above. Our results of operations for the final fiscal quarter of 2015 will vary from those of the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and actual results will depend on a number of factors, including the success of our commercialization efforts for Iclusig in the United States, Europe and other territories, the status of regulatory and subsequent pricing and reimbursement approvals in Europe and other territories, the progress of our product development programs, changes in the number of our employees and related personnel costs, the progress of our discovery research programs, the impact of costs and the sub-leasing of 41 percent our building currently under construction in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the impact of any commercial and business development activities and other factors. The extent of changes in our results of operations will also depend on the sufficiency of funds on hand or available from time to time, which will influence the amount we will spend on operations and capital expenditures and the development timelines for our product candidates.

The increase in product revenue reflects increasing demand for Iclusig in the United States and Europe, along with price increases in the United States described below. In the United States, net product revenue increased from $23.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 to $60.6 million in the corresponding period in 2015 due to an increase in units sold of 149 percent and the impact of a 9 percent price increase in February 2015 and a 6 percent price increase in September 2015. In Europe, net product revenue increased by 65 percent from $11.3 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 to $18.7 million in the corresponding period in 2015, due to expanded access in additional countries and the positive completion of a regulatory review of the safety of Iclusig in late 2014. Product revenue is reduced by certain gross to net deductions. For the nine-month period ended

Table of Contents

September 30, 2015, gross to net deductions, as a percentage of gross revenue, were approximately 11.9 percent as compared to 9.3 percent for the corresponding period in 2014. The increase primarily related to the impact of higher rebates associated with higher Medicaid utilization plus government mandated discounts in certain European countries where we have commenced sales of Iclusig.

License revenue decreased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding period in 2014 by $1.2 million. This decrease was related to the $3.8 million of license revenue received in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, pursuant to our license agreement with Medinol for the development of ridaforolimus eluting stents offset by the amortization of the Otsuka up-front payment of approximately $2.6 million recognized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Product Revenue

Our cost of product revenue relates to sales of Iclusig in the United States and in Europe. Our cost of product revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in 2014, was as follows:

Prior to receiving regulatory approval for Iclusig from the FDA in December 2012, we expensed, as research and development costs, all costs incurred in the manufacturing of Iclusig to be sold upon commercialization. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2013, we wrote down significant amounts of inventory that we estimated to be excess inventory. For Iclusig sold in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, the majority of manufacturing costs incurred had previously been expensed. Therefore, the cost of inventory sold included limited manufacturing costs and the cost of packaging and labeling for commercial sales.

Cost of product revenue for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 also includes a provision for excess inventory of $462,000 and $3.5 million, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, the provision was due to inventory produced during the quarter in accordance with minimum lot size requirements that was deemed to be excess upon receipt of the inventory and for units that were not expected to be sold. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 the provision was primarily related to excess packaging supplies, inventory in Europe that had to be destroyed that does not comply with current European regulations as well as inventory that has expired.

Research and Development Expenses

Our R&D expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in 2014, were as follows:

Direct external expenses for Iclusig were $25.4 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $6.5 million, or 34 percent, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. Increases were due primarily to an increase in clinical trial costs of $4.3 million, an increase in other support costs of $5.1 million, offset in part by a decrease in manufacturing costs of $3.1 million. Increases in clinical trial costs relate primarily to increasing activities in several new Company sponsored and investigator sponsored trials offset in part by decreasing activities and costs of various legacy trials, including the Phase 2 PACE clinical trial, and close-out of the Phase 3 EPIC trial. Decreases in manufacturing costs were due to technology transfer and process validation activities and costs to qualify back-up manufacturing sources conducted in 2014. The increase in other costs relates to the conduct of other studies to assess the safety profile and risk factors associated with cardio vascular occlusive events, as well as activities and costs related to preparation of an NDA filing in Japan.

Direct external expenses for brigatinib were $26.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $13.9 million, or 115 percent, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The increase in expenses for brigatinib was due primarily to increases in clinical trial costs of $4.6 million, in contract manufacturing costs of $7.4 million and in other supporting costs of $1.9 million. The increase in clinical trial costs relates primarily to increases in activities to our now fully enrolled ALTA pivotal Phase 2 trial for brigatinib and clinical pharmacology trial activities in support of this program. Contract manufacturing costs increased due to activities related to product and process development activities and validation activities as well as manufacturing of product to support clinical trials and preparation of agency filings for this product candidate. Other supporting costs increased due to the conduct of toxicology studies in support of the program.

All other R&D expenses increased by $18.0 million, or 32 percent, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. This increase was due to an increase in personnel costs of $8.7 million, related to an approximate 25 percent increase in R&D headcount, an increase in other pre-clinical programs of $3.8 million, as well as increases in professional and general expenses of $5.9 million. Personnel costs increased due to an increase in number of employees to support the development activities of our product and product candidates. Professional and general costs increased due to increasing activities to support regulatory filings in multiple jurisdictions and related increase in travel.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $19.5 million, or 20 percent, to $118.9 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, compared to $99.4 million in the corresponding period in 2014. Expenses for outside professional services increased by $8.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in 2014 primarily due to an increase in legal expenses and other consulting services associated with the preparation of this year’s proxy and related initiatives of $6.0 million as well as ongoing legal matters. Personnel expense increased by $7.7 million due to expenses associated with the pending retirement of our chief executive officer of $5.5 million, including severance and stock based compensation, as well as growth in the number of our employees. Overhead expenses increased by $2.0 million due to rent expense related to our new building under construction on Binney Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as our rent obligations commenced in March 2015. General expenses increased $1.0 million as a result of increased headcount.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income/Expense

Interest income decreased slightly to $61,000 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 from $63,000 in the corresponding period in 2014.

Interest expense increased to $12.9 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 from $4.3 million in the corresponding period in 2014 as a result of $11.6 million in interest expense related to our $200 million convertible note issuance completed in June 2014, and $1.3 million related to our royalty financing completed in July 2015, offset in part by the payoff of our bank term loan in June 2014.

Foreign Exchange Gain

We recognized net foreign exchange transaction gains of $906,000 for the nine-month period ended 2015 compared to net foreign exchange gains of $836,000 in the corresponding period in 2014. The gains are a result of our operations in Europe as we carry accounts denominated in foreign currencies and are caused by changes in exchange rates during these periods.

Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes

Our benefit from income taxes for the nine-month period ended 2015 was $5.3 million, which primarily reflects a tax benefit related to the use of net losses generated by continuing operations to offset tax provided on an unrealized gain on marketable securities recorded in other comprehensive income, compared to a provision of $379,000 in the corresponding period in 2014.

Operating Results

We reported a loss from operations of $164.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to a loss from operations of $153.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014. We also reported a net loss of $171.3 million for

the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $156.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, an increase in net loss of $14.4 million or 9 percent, and a net loss per share of $0.91 and $0.84, respectively. The increase in net loss for 2015 is largely due to an increase in our operating expenses of $55.3 million consisting primarily of an increase of approximately $38.5 million in research and development expenses, an increase of $19.5 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and an increase of $8.6 million in interest expense, offset in part by an increase in product revenue of $44.9 million, all as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $282.2 million and working capital of $213.9 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents totaling $352.7 million and working capital of $295.6 million at December 31, 2014. These decreases are due to our results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 as described above, offset in part by $50 million in proceeds that we received from our royalty financing in July 2015. Of the $282.2 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2015, $7.9 million was in accounts held by our international subsidiaries.

In July 2015, we entered into a royalty financing agreement with PDL BioPharma Inc., or PDL, under which we received $50 million and will receive an additional $50 million on the one-year anniversary with an option to draw down up to an additional $100 million between the six-month and twelve-month anniversaries of the agreement. In return, we agreed to pay PDL a percentage of Iclusig global net revenues equal to 2.5 percent during the first year of the agreement, 5 percent from the end of the first year through the end of 2018 (subject to annual maximum payments of $20 million per year through 2018), and 6.5 percent from 2019 until PDL receives an internal rate of return of 10 percent on funds advanced to us. The 6.5 percent royalty rate would increase to 7.5 percent if we draw down more than $150 million. This financing allows us to accelerate the initiation of a front-line trial of brigatinib and invest in launch readiness while providing strategic flexibility with respect to additional financing and partnering alternatives.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, we reported a net loss of $171.3 million and cash used in operating activities of $120.7 million. We expect to continue to incur losses on a quarterly basis until we can substantially increase revenues as a result of increased sales of Iclusig and potential future regulatory approvals of our product candidates, the timing of which are uncertain.

Our balance sheet at September 30, 2015 includes property and equipment of $232.3 million, which represents an increase of $29.2 million from December 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to the accounting, as described in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, for our lease of new laboratory and office space in two adjacent, connected buildings currently under construction in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Construction of the core and shell of the buildings was completed in March 2015, at which time we commenced making lease payments. Construction of tenant improvements is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016, at which time we expect to occupy the buildings. Under the relevant accounting guidance, we are the deemed owner for the project during the construction periods and accordingly, we have recorded the project construction costs as an asset of $225.9 million and a corresponding facility lease obligation of $220.6 million at September 30, 2015. As construction continues on the facility, the asset and corresponding facility lease obligation will continue to increase.

Sources of Funds

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 our sources of cash were as follows:

 

In thousands    2015      2014  

Sales/issuances of common stock pursuant to stock option and purchase plans

   $ 3,596       $ 3,059   

Proceeds from issuance of convertible debt and related transactions, net.

   $ 55,412       $ 180,340   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

We have financed our operations and investments to date primarily through sales of our common stock and convertible notes in public and private offerings, through our royalty financing, through the receipt of upfront and milestone payments from collaborations and licenses with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and, to a lesser extent, through issuances of our common stock pursuant to our equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans, supplemented by the borrowing of long-term debt from commercial lenders.

With the sales of Iclusig in the United States from January through October 2013 and commencing again in January 2014 as well as sales in Europe since the second half of 2013, we have generated product revenues that have contributed to our cash flows. However, our cash flows generated from sales of Iclusig are not currently sufficient to fund operations and we rely on funding from other sources to fund our operations.

 

31


Table of Contents

We intend to rely on our existing cash and cash equivalents, including the funding provided by and available from our July 2015 royalty financing agreement with PDL, cash flows from sales of Iclusig and funding from new collaborative agreements or strategic alliances, as our primary sources of liquidity. In the near-term, we expect cash flows from sales of Iclusig to increase as we continue to increase the number of patients who are treated with Iclusig and launch the product in new markets. In addition, our royalty financing agreement with PDL allows us to draw down up to $200 million in aggregate financing and provides us with substantial flexibility in addressing any financing needs and alternatives for the Company. We believe that this non-dilutive royalty financing agreement with PDL helps to provide necessary resources until such time that we generate revenues from sales of Iclusig and our product candidates, if approved, that would be sufficient to fund our operations.

Uses of Funds

The primary uses of our cash are to fund our operations and working capital. Our uses of cash during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

 

In thousands    2015      2014

The net cash used in operating activities is comprised of our net losses, adjusted for non-cash expenses, deferred revenue and changes in working capital requirements. As noted previously, our net loss in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 increased by $14.4 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. However, our net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 decreased by $11.3 million compared to the corresponding period in 2014 due primarily to changes in working capital requirements.

We currently occupy facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Lausanne, Switzerland from which we conduct and manage our business. We also plan to move our principal offices to new space in Cambridge, Massachusetts currently under construction. The landlord completed construction of the core and shell of the buildings in March 2015, at which time our lease payments commenced. Tenant improvements and the fit-out of the facility have started and are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016. The landlord has provided a tenant improvement allowance for such costs. To the extent such costs exceed the allowance; we will be responsible for funding such excess.

Liquidity

We incur substantial operating expenses to conduct research and development and commercialization activities and operate our business. We must pay interest on the $200 million principal amount of convertible notes we issued in June 2014 and will be required to repay the principal amount of the notes in June 2019, or earlier in specified circumstances, if the notes are not converted into shares of our common stock. In addition, we are required to make payments to PDL under our royalty financing obligation based on a single digit percentage of our net product sales of Iclusig over the term of the agreement. We also have a substantial facility lease obligation, as noted above. We expect that cash flows from sales of Iclusig together with our current cash and cash equivalents and funding available to us from our royalty financing agreement with PDL or that we might raise from new collaborative agreements or strategic alliances will be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.

The adequacy of our available funds to meet our future operating and capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the amounts of future revenue generated by Iclusig, the potential introduction of one or more of our other drug candidates to the market, and the number, breadth, cost and prospects of our research and development programs.

To the extent that product revenues or non-dilutive funding transactions such as our royalty financing agreement with PDL are not sufficient to fund our operations, we may seek to fund our operations by issuing common stock, debt or other securities in one or more public or private offerings, as market conditions permit, or through the incurrence of additional debt from commercial lenders or other financing transactions. Under SEC rules, we currently qualify as a “well-known seasoned issuer,” which allows us to file shelf registration statements to register an unspecified amount of securities that are effective upon filing, giving us the opportunity to raise

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. In addition, we may raise additional capital through securing new collaborative agreements or other methods of financing. We will continue to manage our capital structure and to consider all financing opportunities, whenever they may occur, that could strengthen our long-term liquidity profile.

There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, we may be required to: (1) delay, limit, reduce or terminate our commercialization of Iclusig; (2) delay, limit, reduce or terminate preclinical studies, clinical trials or other clinical development activities for one or more of our approved products or product candidates; (3) delay, limit, reduce or terminate our discovery research or preclinical development activities; or (4) enter into licenses or other arrangements with third parties on terms that may be unfavorable to us or sell, license or relinquish rights to develop or commercialize our product candidates, approved products, technologies or intellectual property.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities for financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of September 30, 2015, we maintained outstanding letters of credit of $11.3 million in accordance with the terms of our existing leases for our office and laboratory space, our new lease for office and laboratory space under construction, and for other purposes.

Contractual Obligations

We have substantial fixed contractual obligations under our long-term debt agreement, lease agreements, employment agreements, purchase commitments and benefit plans. These non-cancellable contractual obligations were comprised of the following as of September 30, 2015:

Long-term debt reflects the payment at maturity of our $200 million of convertible notes issued in June 2014 and due on June 15, 2019. Interest on this debt accrues at a rate of 3.625 percent of the principal, or $7.25 million, annually and is payable in arrears in December and September of each year. We may not redeem the convertible notes prior to the maturity date and no “sinking fund” is provided for the convertible notes, which means that we are not required to periodically redeem or retire the convertible notes. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving our Company, holders of the convertible notes may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their convertible notes at a repurchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Royalty financing reflects the repayment of the advances provided by PDL of $50 million received in July 2016 and an additional committed advance of $50 million which will occur within one year of the effective date of the agreement. Repayments of principal are calculated based on a single digit royalty on projected Iclusig net product revenues and an internal rate of return of 10 percent over the term of the agreement based on the timing and outstanding balances of advances.

Leases consist of payments to be made on our building leases in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Lausanne, Switzerland, including future lease commitments related to leases executed for office and laboratory space in two buildings currently under construction in Cambridge and office space in a building in Lausanne that completed construction in early 2014. The minimum non-cancelable payments for the facility being constructed in Cambridge are included in the table above and include amounts related to the original lease as amended. We are the deemed owner for accounting purposes and have recognized a financing obligation associated with the

cost of the buildings incurred to date for the buildings under construction in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In addition to minimum lease payments, the leases require us to pay additional amounts for our share of taxes, insurance, maintenance and operating expenses, which are not included in the above table. Employment agreements represent base salary payments under agreements with officers. Purchase commitments represent non-cancelable contractual commitments associated with certain clinical trial activities. Other long-term obligations are comprised primarily of our liability for unrecognized tax positions, which is expected to be determined by 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended accounting guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. This guidance requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt rather than as an asset. We have elected early adoption of this recent guidance as of September 30, 2015. Adoption of the guidance reclassifies debt issuance costs from other assets to long-term obligations, less current portion, within the condensed consolidated balance sheet within the presentation of our long-term $200 million convertible note issuance and $50 million royalty financing.

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This amendment will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. We are continuing to evaluate the options for adoption and the impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Securities Litigation Reform Act

Safe harbor statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations with respect to: (i) our future financial performance, results of operations and liquidity, including both domestic and international revenues, expenses, including research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, income taxes, and our expected liquidity needs and available cash; (ii) the future performance of our distributors and partners; (iii) the manufacturing and commercialization, including pricing and reimbursement of Iclusig and our product candidates, if approved; (iv) the development, regulatory filing and review, and commercial potential of our products and product candidates, including the anticipated timing and results of our clinical trials, and the timing and results of our submissions to regulatory authorities for our products and product candidates; (v) potential changes to our near- and long-term objectives; (vi) the timing and costs associated with our new corporate headquarters under construction in Cambridge, Massachusetts; and (vii) the expected benefits from our royalty financing with PDL. All such forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, outcome of events, timing and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our ability to meet anticipated clinical trial commencement, enrollment and completion dates for our products and product candidates and to move new development candidates into the clinic; our ability to secure new collaboration agreements or strategic alliances; difficulties or delays in obtaining regulatory and pricing and reimbursement approvals to market our products; our ability to successfully commercialize and generate profits from sales of Iclusig; competition from alternative therapies, our reliance on the performance of third-party manufacturers and specialty pharmacies for the distribution of Iclusig; the occurrence of adverse safety events with our products and product candidates; preclinical data and early-stage clinical data that may not be replicated in later-stage clinical studies; the costs associated with our research, development, manufacturing and other activities; the conduct and results of preclinical and clinical studies of our product candidates; the adequacy of our capital resources and the availability of additional funding; patent protection and third-party intellectual property claims; litigation, including our pending securities class action, derivative and product liability lawsuits; our operations in foreign countries; risks related to key employees, markets, economic conditions, health care reform, prices and reimbursement rates; and other factors detailed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and any updates to those risk factors contained in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The information contained in this document is believed to be current as of the date of original issue. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We invest our available funds in accordance with our investment policy to preserve principal, maintain proper liquidity to meet operating needs and maximize yields. Our investment policy specifies credit quality standards for our investments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any single issue, issuer or type of investment.

We invest cash balances in excess of operating requirements first in short-term, highly liquid securities, and money market accounts. Depending on our level of available funds and our expected cash requirements, we may invest a portion of our funds in marketable securities, consisting generally of corporate debt and U.S. government and agency securities. Maturities of our marketable securities are generally limited to periods necessary to fund our liquidity needs and may not in any case exceed three years. These securities are classified as available-for-sale. At September 30, 2015, our available funds are invested solely in cash and cash equivalents and we do not have significant market risk related to interest rate movements.

At September 30, 2015, our marketable securities of $15.1 million consisted of 687,139 shares of common stock of REGENXBIO, Inc. which completed an initial public offering in September 2015. In connection with the initial public offering, we entered into a lock-up agreement with REGENXBIO that restricts us from selling these shares until March 2016. The value of these shares are subject to market risk common to development stage companies and may increase or decrease in value over the period during which we are restricted from selling these shares.

As a result of our foreign operations, we face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Euro, Swiss Franc and British Pound against the U.S. dollar. The current exposures arise primarily from cash, accounts receivable, intercompany receivables, payables and inventories. Both positive and negative affects to our net revenues from international product sales from movements in foreign currency exchange rates are partially mitigated by the natural, opposite effect that foreign currency exchange rates have on our international operating costs and expenses.

In June 2014, we issued $200 million of convertible notes due June 15, 2019. The convertible notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 3.625 percent and we, therefore, do not have economic interest rate exposure on the convertible notes. However, the fair value of the convertible notes is exposed to interest rate risk. We do not carry the convertible notes at fair value on our balance sheet but present the fair value of the principal amount for disclosure purposes. Generally, the fair value of the convertible notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. These convertible notes are also affected by the price and volatility of our common stock and will generally increase or decrease as the market price of our common stock changes. The estimated fair value of the $200 million face value convertible notes was $196.9 million at September 30, 2015.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, except as follows.

1. The first risk factor under the caption “Risks relating to our operations” is replaced with the following risk factor:

If we fail to manage the size of our workforce and other resources effectively, our business may suffer.

The number of our employees more than doubled prior to our initial launch of Iclusig in January 2013 as we built out the commercial organization that was responsible for the commercialization of Iclusig in the United States and Europe, but was then reduced by approximately 40 percent of our employees in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2013 in connection with our announcements concerning the updated safety, marketing and commercial distribution and further clinical development of Iclusig. With the re-launch of Iclusig in the United States in January 2014, we have hired necessary personnel to manage the requirements of our business.

We have also entered into a lease for approximately 386,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in two adjacent connected buildings at 75 - 125 Binney Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with an initial term of 15 years and options to renew for three terms of five years each. We had planned to relocate our corporate headquarters and laboratory facilities into this space in early 2015, but construction was delayed and we do not expect to take occupancy until the third quarter of 2016. Based on the terms of the lease, as amended, we commenced making lease payments in March 2015. In addition, in August 2015, we entered into an agreement to sublease approximately 160,000 square feet of the total leased space at 75-125 Binney Street to a third party, with commencement expected in the third quarter of 2016.

In addition, because our drug discovery and development activities are highly technical in nature, we require the services of highly qualified and trained scientists who have the skills necessary to conduct these activities. We need to attract and retain employees with experience in these fields. We face intense competition for our personnel from our competitors, our collaborators and other companies throughout our industry. The growth of local biotechnology companies and the expansion of major pharmaceutical companies into the Cambridge, Massachusetts area have increased competition for the available pool of skilled employees, especially in technical fields, and the high cost of living in the Cambridge area makes it difficult to attract employees from other parts of the country to these areas.

We must respond effectively to these demands and manage our internal organization and our facilities to accommodate our anticipated needs and to respond to any unexpected developments. If we are unable to manage the size of our workforce, our facilities and our other resources effectively, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

2. The second risk factor under the caption “Risks relating to our operations” is replaced with the following risk factor:

We are currently subject to securities class action and product liability litigation and we have been and may be subject to similar or other litigation in the future.

The market price of our common stock declined significantly following our October 2013 announcements concerning the safety, marketing and commercial distribution and further clinical development of Iclusig in the United States. Class action lawsuits were subsequently filed in October and December 2013 alleging, among other things, that we and certain of our officers violated federal securities laws by making allegedly material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact regarding clinical and safety data for Iclusig in our public disclosures. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. On March 24, 2015, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, or the District Court, granted the defendants’ and the underwriters’ motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint in these consolidated actions. On April 21, 2015, the plaintiffs filed an appeal of the District Court’s decision to grant the motions to dismiss with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Briefing on the plaintiffs’ appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has been completed, and we expect a hearing to be scheduled.

Furthermore, in March 2015, a product liability lawsuit was filed alleging that our cancer medicine Iclusig was defective, dangerous and lacked adequate warnings when the plaintiff used it from July to August 2013. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages, punitive damages and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. On May 18, 2015, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in this action. On August 4, 2015, the court granted our motion to dismiss with respect to the plaintiff’s cause of action for punitive damages and denied the remainder of our motion to dismiss. On August 7, 2015, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint asserts punitive damages as a remedy, in addition to seeking unspecified monetary damages and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. The parties are currently engaged in discovery.

While we believe we have meritorious defenses in all of the currently pending matters, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits. Monitoring and defending against legal actions, whether or not meritorious, is time-consuming for our management and detracts from our ability to fully focus our internal resources on our business activities, and we cannot predict how long it may take to resolve these matters.

In addition, we may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with litigation. Although we have insurance, coverage could be denied or prove to be insufficient. We are not currently able to estimate the possible cost to us from the currently pending lawsuits, and we cannot be certain how long it may take to resolve these matters or the possible amount of any damages that we may be required to pay. We have not established any reserves for any potential liability relating to these lawsuits. It is possible that we could, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims for monetary damages. A decision adverse to our interests on these actions could result in the payment of substantial damages and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the uncertainty of the currently pending lawsuits could lead to more volatility in our stock price.

SUBLEASE

This Sublease (the “Sublease”) is made as of July 16, 2015 by and between ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having an address of 26 Landsdowne Street, Cambridge, MA 02139 (“Sublandlord”), and INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION, a New York corporation, having an address of New Orchard Road, Armonk NY 10504 (“Subtenant”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, by Lease Agreement dated January 4, 2013 (“Original Lease”), as amended (i) by First Amendment to Lease dated as of September 16, 2013 (the “First Amendment”), and (ii) by letter dated as of October 17, 2013 (the “Letter Amendment”), and (iii) by Second Amendment to Lease dated as of March 24, 2015 (the “Second Amendment”; as so amended, the “Lease”) between ARE-MA REGION NO. 48, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Landlord”, also sometimes referred to herein as the “Overlandlord”) as landlord thereunder, and Sublandlord as tenant thereunder, copies of which are attached in redacted form as Exhibit “A” hereto, Landlord leased to Sublandlord certain premises (the “Premises”) in the Project located at 75 and 125 Binney Street, Cambridge Massachusetts for a term commencing on March 24, 2015 and ending on March 31, 2030. The Premises are located in two buildings, the “75 Binney Building” and the “125 Binney Building”; and

4. RENT.

From and after the Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord monthly installments of annual base rent (the “Base Rent”), which Base Rent shall be paid in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month in accordance with Section 3 (Rent) of the Lease. For purposes hereof, the “Rent Commencement Date” shall be the date which is the earlier to occur of: (i) the twelfth (12th) monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date, and (ii) the date upon which Subtenant occupies [***] ([***]) or more full floors of the Subleased Premises for the Permitted Use. In the event Subtenant occupies fewer than [***] ([***]) full floors of the Subleased Premises for the Permitted Use prior to the [***] ([***]) monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date, then, until the Rent Commencement Date occurs, Subtenant shall pay only its share of Expense Rent, Parking Charges and Subtenant Surcharges (but not Base Rent) proportionately allocable to the floors so occupied. If the Rent Commencement Date shall be on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, Base Rent for the partial month shall be prorated based on the number of days in that month. Subtenant shall pay Base Rent in accordance with the following schedule:

5. ADDITIONAL RENT.

(a) In addition to the Base Rent and any other sums which Subtenant may be obligated to pay pursuant to any other provision of this Sublease, from and after the Rent Commencement Date, Subtenant agrees to pay to Sublandlord as additional rent hereunder, in monthly installments based on Landlord’s Annual Estimates (as defined in Section 5(a) of the Lease), as and when such sums are due and payable by Sublandlord under the Lease, or as otherwise hereinafter provided.

(i) Subtenant’s Share of Administration Rent and Additional Rent (as such terms are defined in Section 3 of the Lease) (collectively, “Expense Rent”). The term “Additional Rent” includes Operating Expenses attributable to the Premises. For purposes hereof, “Subtenant’s Share” shall be a percentage, the numerator of which is the agreed rentable area of the then Subleased Premises, and the denominator of which is 380,111, the total combined rentable square feet in the 75 Binney Building and the 125 Binney Building. Subtenant’s Share may increase or decrease, as the case may be, as additional area is added to or subtracted from the Subleased Premises pursuant to the terms hereof. As of the date of this Sublease, Subtenant’s Share is forty two and nine tenths percent (42.9%), reflecting a numerator of 163,186 rentable square feet as the agreed rentable area of the Subleased Premises and a denominator of 380,111 rentable square feet; and

(ii) all Parking Charges (as hereinafter defined) attributable to Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share of Parking Spaces in the Garage pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Lease and Section 16 hereof; and

(iii) all Subtenant Surcharges (as hereinafter defined). As used herein, the term “Subtenant Surcharges” shall mean any and all amounts, in addition to Expense Rent under Section 5(a)(i) and Parking Charges under Section 5(a)(ii) above, which become due and payable by Sublandlord to the Landlord under the Lease, whether as “additional rent” or for any extra services or otherwise which would not have become due and payable but for the acts and/or failures to act of Subtenant under this Sublease or which are otherwise attributable to the Subleased Premises for: (x) any increases in the Landlord’s fire, rent or other insurance premiums resulting from any act or omission of Subtenant, (y) any charges payable by Sublandlord under the Lease on account of Subtenant’s use or maintenance of heating, ventilation or air conditioning, electricity, or other extra services requested by Subtenant and provided under the Lease for the benefit of Subtenant or the Subleased Premises, and (z) any charges payable by Sublandlord under the Lease on account of any other additional service requested by Subtenant and as may be provided under the Lease to or for the benefit of the Subleased Premises, including but not limited to Section 11(b) (Other Services).

(b) Subtenant shall pay the additional rents set forth in Section 5(a)(i) and (ii) within five (5) business days after the presentation of statements therefor by Landlord or Sublandlord to Subtenant, and the additional rents set forth in Section 5(a)(iii) hereof within forty-five (45) days after the presentation of statements therefor. Any failure or delay by Sublandlord in billing any sum set forth in this Section 5 shall not constitute a waiver of Subtenant’s obligation to pay the same in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, but the time period for payment shall be extended accordingly. Annual reconciliations of payments for Expense Rent shall be made within the time frames provided for in Section 5(e) of the Lease.

(c) In connection with any Sublandlord and Landlord meetings and/or discussions regarding the Annual Estimates for Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Lease (Annual Estimates), Sublandlord will give Subtenant reasonable prior written notice of all such “open book” cooperative meetings and/or discussions with Landlord and invite a representative of Subtenant to attend and/or participate in same.

(d) Sublandlord shall within five (5) business days of receipt furnish to Subtenant a copy of each notice or statement from the Landlord affecting the Subleased Premises with respect to Subtenant’s obligations hereunder. If Sublandlord disputes the correctness of any such notice or statement and if such dispute is resolved in Sublandlord’s favor, or if Sublandlord shall receive any refund of additional rent with or without a dispute, Sublandlord shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of funds pay to Subtenant any refund (after deducting from the amount of any such refund an equitable portion of all expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Sublandlord in resolving such dispute) received by Sublandlord in respect (but only to the extent) of any related payments of additional rent made by Subtenant less any amounts theretofore received by Subtenant directly from the Landlord and relating to such refund; provided, however, that, if Sublandlord is required under the terms of the Lease to pay such amounts pending the determination of any such dispute (by agreement or otherwise), Subtenant shall pay the full amount of the Base Rent, Expense Rent, Subtenant Surcharges and Parking Charges in accordance with this Sublease and the applicable Landlord’s statement or notice.

(e) Subtenant shall have all audit rights and the benefit of all audit periods set forth under Section 5 (Operating Expense Payments) of the Lease.

(f) Subtenant shall have the same rights as set forth in Section 9(a) of the Lease to seek an abatement of Taxes provided Subtenant shall give Sublandlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the deadline for filing such requests. Sublandlord agrees to cooperate with Subtenant in connection with Subtenant’s review of any Annual Statements, bills or other materials furnished by Landlord relating to the Subleased Premises and, upon request of Subtenant, to request from Landlord any additional supporting materials reasonably requested by Subtenant in connection therewith and, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, to conduct an audit pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 5(e)(iv) of the Lease, and/or to file an abatement pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 9(a) of the Lease.

(g) To the extent then accrued but not satisfied, Subtenant’s obligation to pay the Base Rent, Expense Rent, Subtenant Surcharges, Parking Charges and all other sums payable under this Section 5 or otherwise under this Sublease shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Sublease.

(h) The Base Rent, Expense Rent, Subtenant Surcharges, Parking Charges and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Sublease (“Rent”) shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord at the address first set forth above, or at such other place as Sublandlord may hereafter designate from time to time in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, or at Subtenant’s option, by wire transfer, as and when the same become due and payable, without demand therefor and without any deduction, set-off or abatement whatsoever except as otherwise provided herein. Any other amounts of additional rents and other charges herein reserved and payable shall be paid by Subtenant in the manner and to the persons set forth in the statement from Sublandlord describing the amounts due. All Expense Rent, adjustments

of Base Rent, Subtenant Surcharges, Parking Charges and all other costs, charges and expenses which Subtenant assumes, agrees or is obligated to pay to Sublandlord pursuant to this Sublease shall be additional rent and, in the event of nonpayment thereof, Sublandlord shall have all the rights and remedies with respect thereto as are herein provided for in case of nonpayment of the Base Rent reserved hereunder (and subject to the same notice and grace periods set forth in the Lease).

(i) Utilities are provided and paid for by Landlord in accordance with Section 11(a) (Utilities and Services) of the Lease. In accordance with Section 11(a) of the Lease, Subtenant shall pay all costs or amounts due on account of any separately metered or sub-metered, as the case may be, Utilities and/or other services which may be furnished to Subtenant or the Subleased Premises during the Sublease Term. Submeters for gas and electric shall be provided for and installed by Subtenant as part of the Subtenant Improvements.

6. EXTENSION OPTION.

(a) Provided that at the time of such exercise and upon the commencement of the Extended Term (i) there then exists no Default or condition which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a Default, (ii) this Sublease is then in full force and effect, and (iii) Subtenant or Subtenant’s Permitted Transferee is in actual occupancy of not less than [***] ([***]) full floors of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall have one (1) option to extend the Initial Term of the Sublease (the “Extension Option”) for the Subleased Premises beginning on the day immediately following the Sublease Expiration Date (the “Extended Term Commencement Date”) and ending on March 30, 2030 (the “Extended Term”) on the same terms and conditions as set forth herein (other than Base Rent), by giving Sublandlord written notice of its election to exercise such Extension Option at least fifteen (15) months, but not more than eighteen (18) months, prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. Provided the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall have been satisfied, the giving of such notice by Subtenant shall automatically extend the Initial Term for the Extended Term, and no instrument of renewal need be executed. In the event that Subtenant fails to give such notice to Sublandlord, this Sublease shall automatically terminate at the end of the Initial Term, and Subtenant shall have no further option to extend the Initial Term, it being agreed that time is of the essence with respect to the giving of such notice. The Extended Term shall be on all the terms and conditions of this Sublease, except that during the Extended Term, Subtenant shall have no further option to extend the Term and the rent for the Extended Term shall be determined as provided in Subsections 5(c) though (h), inclusive, below. Subtenant’s Extension Option shall be personal to the original Subtenant and shall be void if the interest of Subtenant is assigned or transferred to any entity other than a Permitted Transferee.

(b) The Base Rent for the Extended Term (“Extended Term Base Rent”) shall be equal to the Fair Market Rent for the Subleased Premises, as hereinafter determined. In no event, however, shall the Extended Term Base Rent be less than [***] Dollars ($[***]) per rentable square foot of the Subleased Premises, increasing annually commencing on the first anniversary of the first day of the Extended Term, and on each successive anniversary thereof, by [***]% of the Extended Term Base Rent in effect as of the end of the previous year. During the Extended Term, Subtenant shall continue to pay all Expense Rent, Subtenant Surcharges and Parking Charges in accordance with Section 5 of this Sublease.

(c) Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant Sublandlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent (as hereinafter defined) and rent escalations payable during the Extended Term (“Sublandlord’s Rent Determination”) within thirty (30) days after delivery of Subtenant’s notice of its election to exercise such Extension Option (provided that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to deliver such determination to Subtenant earlier than fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term). The term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the then fair market rental rate for the Subleased Premises taking into consideration all relevant factors that a tenant would pay upon an arms-length rental of the Subleased Premises on a direct lease as of the last day of the Initial Term. A determination of the Fair Market Rent payable for the Subleased Premises during the Extended Term shall be made in the manner described in subsections (d) through (h), inclusive, below.

(d) If, on or before the date which is sixty (60) days following the date of Sublandlord’s Rent Determination Notice, Subtenant has not agreed with Sublandlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent and the rent escalations applicable during the Extended Term after negotiating in good faith, Subtenant may by written notice to Sublandlord delivered not later than the last day of such sixty (60) day period, elect arbitration as described in Subsections 5(e), (f) and (g) below. If, on or before the last day of such sixty (60) day period, Subtenant does not either give written notice to Sublandlord of either Subtenant’s acceptance of Sublandlord’s Rent Determination or Subtenant’s election of arbitration, Subtenant shall be deemed to have accepted Sublandlord’s Rent Determination, and Sublandlord’s Rent Determination of the Fair Market Rent and rent escalations shall be the Fair Market Rent and rent escalations for the Subleased Premises during the Extended Term.

(e) Within ten (10) business days of Subtenant’s notice to Sublandlord of its election to arbitrate Fair Market Rent and escalations, each party shall deliver to the other a proposal containing the Fair Market Rent and escalations that the submitting party believes to be correct (“Extension Proposal”). If either party fails to timely submit an Extension Proposal, with an additional five (5) business days after notice that the same has not been received, then the other party’s submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent and escalations for the Extended Term. If both parties submit Extension Proposals, then Sublandlord and Subtenant shall meet within seven (7) days after delivery of the last Extension Proposal and make a good faith attempt to mutually appoint a single Arbitrator (and defined below) to determine the Fair Market Rent and escalations. If Sublandlord and Subtenant are unable to agree upon a single Arbitrator, then each shall, by written notice delivered to the other within ten (10) days after the meeting, select an Arbitrator. If either party fails to timely give notice of its selection for an Arbitrator, the other party’s submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent and escalations for the Extended Term. The two (2) Arbitrators so appointed shall, within five (5) business days after their appointment, appoint a third Arbitrator. If the two (2) Arbitrators so selected cannot agree on the selection of the third Arbitrator within the time above specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request such appointment of such third Arbitrator by application to any state court of general jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the Subleased Premises are located, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other party of such intent.

10


(f) The decision of the Arbitrator(s) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the appointment of a single Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator, as applicable. If there is a single Arbitrator, the decision of the single Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. If there are three (3) Arbitrators, the third Arbitrator shall chose in full one (1) of the decisions of the other two (2) Arbitrators, and such choice shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third Arbitrator shall be borne equally by both parties. If, pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6, Fair Market Rent and escalations have not been determined as of the first day of the Extended Term, Subtenant shall pay on account of Base Rent the rent specified by Sublandlord in Sublandlord’s Rent Determination as the Fair Market Rent until such determination is made.

7. ROFO RIGHTS.

(a) Provided that at the time of such availability and at the time Subtenant elects to lease such Offered Space (as hereinafter defined) (i) there then exists no Default or condition which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a Default, (ii) this Sublease is then in full force and effect, and (iii) original Subtenant named under this Sublease or Subtenant’s Permitted Transferee is in actual occupancy of not less than [***] ([***]) full floors of the Subleased Premises (except during any period prior to initial occupancy of the Subleased Premises), if, at any time during the Initial Term all or any portion of the Premises within the 125 Binney Building, except as provided below (the “First Offer Space”), shall become available for sublease (and specifically excluding any portion of the Premises which Sublandlord desires to retain for its own use or sublease to any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with, Sublandlord), Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant in writing (the “ROFO Notice”), identifying the space available (the “ROFO Offered Space”) and shall set forth the terms and

conditions on which Sublandlord is willing to lease the ROFO Offered Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the First Offer Space include or shall this first offer right apply to (i) any Contraction Space (as hereinafter defined) which may have been deleted from the Subleased Premises in accordance with Section 8, or (ii) any portion of the first (1st) floor allocated for a café or food service area.

(b) Subtenant shall have the right (the “First Offer Right”), by giving written notice to Sublandlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of the ROFO Notice, time being of the essence, to lease the ROFO Offered Space on the terms offered by Sublandlord, and Subtenant’s election to lease the ROFO Offered Space shall constitute a binding agreement to lease the ROFO Offered Space on the terms offered by Sublandlord. If Subtenant shall so elect to lease the ROFO Offered Space, it shall promptly after such election enter into an amendment to this Sublease incorporating the terms contained in Sublandlord’s notice, but failure to do so shall have no effect on Subtenant’s agreement to lease the ROFO Offered Space. If Subtenant shall not elect to lease the ROFO Offered Space within such ten (10) business day period, then Subtenant shall have no further rights under this Section with respect to the ROFO Offered Space, and Sublandlord shall be free to sublease any or all of such space to a third party or parties from time to time on such terms and conditions as Sublandlord may deem appropriate; provided, however, that if Sublandlord does not lease the Offered Space to a third party or parties within [***] after giving such notice to Subtenant (as described in subsection (d) below), and such ROFO Offered Space is still available for sublease (or thereafter if such ROFO Offered Space shall again become available for sublease), then Sublandlord shall not lease the ROFO Offered Space to any third party or parties without first again offering the ROFO Offered Space to Subtenant pursuant to the terms hereof. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit Subtenant’s rights under this Section with respect to space within the First Offer Space other than the ROFO Offered Space. The First Offer Right shall be personal to the original Subtenant named in this Sublease and shall be void if the interest of the Subtenant originally named in this Sublease is assigned or otherwise transferred except to a Permitted Transferee.

(c) For purposes of this Section, space shall not be deemed to be “available for sublease” (i) in the event that Sublandlord desires to utilize such space for its own purposes or to sublease any of the First Offer Space to any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with, Sublandlord, or (ii) in the event that Sublandlord and an existing occupant of such space desire to renew or extend such existing occupant’s sublease or enter into a new sublease; and Subtenant’s rights under this Section shall be subject and subordinate to any such extension, renewal, or subleasing to such existing occupant occupying its then current space.

(d) If Subtenant shall not elect to lease the ROFO Offered Space pursuant to an offer from Sublandlord under this Section as aforesaid, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding paragraph, if Sublandlord shall thereafter (i) fail to lease the Offered Space for a Net Effective Rental (as hereinafter defined) of not less than [***] percent ([***]%) of the Net Effective Rental proposed to Subtenant within [***] from the date of the ROFO Notice, and (ii) such space remains available for sublease, and Sublandlord shall propose to lease the ROFO Offered Space for a Net Effective Rental of less than [***] percent ([***]%) of the Net Effective Rental proposed to Subtenant, Sublandlord shall re-offer the ROFO Offered Space to Subtenant pursuant to this Section. The term “Net Effective Rental” shall mean for purposes

The rights and obligations of Sublandlord shall remain the same as if Subtenant had obtained and maintained separate insurance from an independent institutional insurer of recognized responsibility for the coverages as provided herein, including the application of the waivers and releases in Section 22(c) Waiver of Subrogation under the Lease.

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Subtenant shall be liable as a self-insurer for the same coverages and the same amount of insurance as would Subtenant’s insurer if Subtenant maintained the insurance described in this Section and Section 17 of the Lease.

(e) Subject to all of the other requirements of this Section 20, Sublandlord consents to self-insurance for some or all of the insurance required by this Section and Section 17 of the Lease, provided that (i) the original Subtenant maintains a program of insurance substantially in accordance with original Subtenant’s program of insurance in effect as of the date of this Sublease as set forth on the certificates of insurance with respect to both property insurance and liability insurance whereby (i) Subtenant maintains its own captive insurance company, (ii) Subtenant maintains re-insurance in amounts sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Section 21 which re-insurance provides to Sublandlord direct access to re-insurers via a “cut-through” endorsement and (iii) the re-insurers satisfy the requirements of Section 17 of the Lease. Subtenant shall give Sublandlord prompt notice of any material change in Subtenant’s program of insurance.

(f) The parties confirm that the provisions of Section 30 (Environmental Requirements) of the Lease are incorporated herein by reference (except for subsection 30(c) which is excluded). Each of Sublandlord and Subtenant agrees to comply with the Environmental Requirements set forth in the Lease. Each of Sublandlord and Subtenant shall indemnify the other to the extent of any damage caused by Hazardous Materials brought upon the Premises or the Subleased Premises by such party in accordance with the same indemnification provisions as provided in Section 30 of the Lease.

(g) The parties confirm that the provisions of Section 16 (Indemnification) of the Lease are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, each of Sublandlord and Subtenant agrees to hold the other harmless from Claims caused by its negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the use or control of the New Atrium Area in accordance with the same indemnification provisions as provided in Section 16 of the Lease.

21. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

(a) General Prohibition. Without Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s prior written consent, subject to and on the conditions described in this Section 21 and subject to the terms of this Section 21, Subtenant shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, assign this Sublease or sub-sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Subleased Premises, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. Except as provided in Section 21(b) below, if Subtenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, the shares or other ownership interests thereof which are not actively traded upon a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, a transfer or series of transfers whereby 50% or more of the issued and outstanding shares or other ownership interests of such corporation are, and voting control is, transferred (but excepting transfers upon deaths of individual owners) from a person or persons or entity or entities which were owners thereof at time of execution of this Sublease to persons or entities who were not owners of shares or other ownership interests of the corporation, partnership or limited liability company at time of execution of this Sublease, shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease requiring the consent of Sublandlord as provided in this Section 21. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any public offering of shares or other ownership interest in Subtenant shall not be deemed an assignment.

21


(b) Permitted Transfers. If Subtenant desires to assign, sublease, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Sublease or sublet the Subleased Premises (or a portion thereof) other than pursuant to a Permitted Assignment (as defined below) then at least 15 days, but not more than 45 days, before the date Subtenant desires the assignment or sublease to be effective (the “Assignment Date”), Subtenant shall give Sublandlord a notice (the “Assignment Notice”). The Assignment Notice shall set forth the portion of the Subleased Premises to be made available (the “Offered Space”) and the terms and conditions upon which such Offered Space is to be available including the proposed term and all relevant financial terms. At Subtenant’s option the Assignment Notice may identify a specific proposed assignee or subtenant and the material terms and conditions of the proposed transaction (a “Specific Assignment Notice”). A Specific Assignment Notice shall include a copy of an executed Letter of Intent or Term Sheet setting forth all materials terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, information about the proposed assignee or sublessee, including the proposed use of the Subleased Premises and any Hazardous Materials proposed to be used, stored handled, treated, generated in or released or disposed of from the Subleased Premises, the Assignment Date, any relationship between Subtenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee, and such other information as Sublandlord may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to its consideration whether to grant its consent. If, after having submitted an Assignment Notice, Subtenant shall identify a specific third party assignee or subtenant for such Offered Space, Subtenant shall submit a Specific Assignment Notice with respect to such Offered Space. Sublandlord may, by giving written notice to Subtenant within 2 months after receipt of the Assignment Notice (which period shall be reduced to 15 business days in the case of a Specific Assignment Notice):

(i) in the case of a Specific Assignment Notice, grant such consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, including reasonable approval of the assignee, transferee or subtenant, its net worth and the proposed use of the Offered Space (and such consent may be subject to Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s further right to reasonably approve the final form of documentation of such transaction);

(ii) in the case of a Specific Assignment Notice, refuse such consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, if: (x) at the time of such notice Sublandlord has other space then available for sublease; or (y) concerns any transferee, assignee or subtenant which, in Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s reasonable judgment, is engaged in areas of scientific research or other business concerns that are controversial such that they may (1) attract or cause negative publicity for or about the 75 Binney Building or the Project, (2) negatively affect the reputation of the 75 Binney Building, the Project or Sublandlord, or (3) attract protestors to the 75 Binney Building; or (z) concerns any transferee, assignee or subtenant which has engaged in mismanagement or improper disposal of Hazardous Materials (unless the same has been, or is reasonably in the process of being, corrected by the transferee, assignee or subtenant);

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

22


(iii) in the case of an Assignment Notice which is not a Specific Assignment Notice, waive any right to terminate the Sublease (or sublease from Subtenant) as to the Offered Space for a period of 9 months following the Assignment Notice, during which period Sublandlord and Landlord shall continue to have the right to reasonably approve any prospective subtenant or assignee of the Offered Space in the same manner as provided in subsections (i) and (ii) above; or

(iv) recapture the Offered Space pursuant to the provisions of Section 21(g) below as of the Assignment Date, in the event that the proposed transaction is either: (x) an assignment of this Sublease; or (y) a Full Term Third Party Sublease (as hereinafter defined). A “Full Term Third Party Sublease” is defined as a sublease of the entirety, or any portion, of the Subleased Premises, to anyone other than a Permitted Transferee, for a term which expires at or within 24 months prior to the expiration of the then current Sublease Term.

Subtenant shall reimburse each of Sublandlord and Landlord for their respective reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with its consideration of any Assignment Notice, up to a combined maximum of $[***] in connection with any Assignment Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord’s consent to an assignment of this Sublease or a subletting of any portion of the Subleased Premises to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Subtenant (a “Permitted Assignment”) shall not be required, provided that Sublandlord shall have the right to reasonably approve the form of any such sublease or assignment. In addition, Subtenant shall have the right to assign this Sublease, without obtaining Sublandlord’s prior written consent, to a corporation or other entity which is a successor-in-interest to Subtenant, by way of merger, consolidation, recapitalization or corporate reorganization, or by the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or the ownership interests of Subtenant (“Permitted Successor”) provided that (i) such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition or assumption, as the case may be, is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the Sublease, and (ii) the net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of the assignee is not less than the net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of Subtenant as of the date of this Sublease, and (iii) such assignee shall agree in writing to assume all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease arising after the effective date of the assignment (a “Permitted Assignment”). Any transferee pursuant to a Permitted Assignment is a “Permitted Transferee”. Subtenant shall give at least upon 10 business days prior written notice to Sublandlord of any Permitted Assignment, except that if, in connection with a transfer to a Permitted Successor, Subtenant is under a legal obligation of confidentiality, either by reason of applicable Legal Requirements or pursuant to a confidentiality agreement to which Subtenant is subject, then Subtenant shall give Sublandlord notice of such Permitted Assignment as soon as reasonably possible after such confidentiality restriction lapses or is waived by the party having the right to enforce such restriction.

Any refusal by Sublandlord to grant its consent as provided herein shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval.

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

23


(c) Additional Conditions. As a condition to any such assignment or subletting, whether or not Sublandlord’s consent is required, Sublandlord may require:

(i) that any assignee or subtenant agree, in writing at the time of such assignment or subletting, that if Sublandlord gives such party notice that a Default of Subtenant has occurred hereunder, such party shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Subtenant directly to Sublandlord, which payments will be received by Sublandlord without any liability except to credit such payment against those due under the Sublease, and any such third party shall agree to attorn to Sublandlord or its successors and assigns should this Sublease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, in no event shall Sublandlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; and

(ii) A list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed assignee or sublessee to be true and correct, which the proposed assignee or sublessee intends to use, store, handle, treat, generate in or release or dispose of from the Subleased Premises, together with copies of all documents relating to such use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the proposed assignee or subtenant in the Subleased Premises or on the Project, prior to the proposed assignment or subletting, including, without limitation: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Sublandlord has given its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Sublandlord’s sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks. Neither Subtenant nor any such proposed assignee or subtenant is required, however, to provide Sublandlord with any portion(s) of the such documents containing information of a proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities.

(d) No Release of Subtenant, Sharing of Excess Rents. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Subtenant shall at all times remain fully and primarily responsible and liable for the payment of Rent and for compliance with all of Subtenant’s other obligations under this Sublease. Except in the case of a Permitted Assignment, if the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto in any form) exceeds the sum of the rental payable under this Sublease (excluding however, any Rent payable under this Section), and actual and reasonable tenant improvement costs, brokerage fees, legal costs, design or construction fees, free rent, lease take-over costs, or other similar concessions actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease (“Excess Rent”), then Subtenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Sublandlord as Additional Rent hereunder [***] percent ([***]%) of such Excess Rent within 10 days following receipt thereof by Subtenant. If Subtenant shall sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, Subtenant hereby immediately and irrevocably assigns to Sublandlord, as security for Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, all rent from any such subletting, and Sublandlord as assignee, or a receiver for Subtenant appointed on Sublandlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease; except that, until the occurrence of a Default, Subtenant shall have the right to collect such rent.

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

24


(e) No Waiver. The consent by Sublandlord to an assignment or subletting shall not relieve Subtenant or any assignees of this Sublease or any sublessees of the Subleased Premises from obtaining the consent of Sublandlord to any further assignment or subletting nor shall it release Subtenant or any assignee or sublessee of Subtenant from full and primary liability under this Sublease. The acceptance of Rent hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant, or condition thereof, from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Sublease or a consent to any subletting, assignment or other transfer of the Subleased Premises.

(f) Prior Conduct of Proposed Transferee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 21, if (i) the proposed assignee or sublessee of Subtenant has been required by any prior Sublandlord, lender or Governmental Authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property, where the contamination resulted from such party’s action or use of the property in question and such party has failed to do so as required, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is subject to an enforcement order issued by any Governmental Authority which has not been complied with in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any Governmental Authority), or (iii) because of the existence of a pre-existing environmental condition in the vicinity of or underlying the Project, the risk that Sublandlord would be targeted as a responsible party in connection with the remediation of such pre-existing environmental condition would be materially increased or exacerbated by the proposed use of Hazardous Materials by such proposed assignee or sublessee, Sublandlord shall have the absolute right to refuse to consent to any assignment or subletting to any such party.

(g) Recapture. No failure of Sublandlord to exercise any such option to terminate this Sublease (or to underlet as provided herein), or to deliver a timely notice in response to the Assignment Notice within the applicable time period shall be deemed to be Sublandlord’s consent to the proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer or otherwise shall be deemed a waiver of Sublandlord’s options as to the Offered Space to the extent provided herein. If Sublandlord elects to recapture the Offered Space as provided in Section 21(b), Sublandlord may elect to do so either by termination of the Sublease (as to the Offered Space only), or by electing to sub-sublease the Offered Space from Subtenant as follows:

(i) Sublandlord’s Right to Terminate. Upon receipt of any Assignment Notice in which Subtenant proposes to assign this Sublease (which shall include, for purposes of this Section 21(g)(i), a proposed subletting of all or substantially all of the Subleased Premises for the entire or substantially the entire remaining Sublease Term), or in which Subtenant proposes to sublet less than substantially all of the Subleased Premises for a Full Term Third Party Sublease, then and in such event Sublandlord shall have the right, exercisable by notice to Subtenant given within sixty (60) days (which period shall be reduced to 15 business days in the case of a Specific Assignment Notice) after Sublandlord receives Subtenant’s Assignment Notice and in addition to the other rights

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

25


granted Sublandlord under this Section 21(g)(i), (x) in the case of an assignment, to terminate this Sublease, in which event this Sublease shall terminate on the Assignment Date, with the same force and effect as if the Assignment Date were the date originally fixed in this Sublease as the Expiration Date, or (y) in the case of a Full Term Third Party Sublease, to terminate this Sublease solely with respect to Offered Space, in which event on the Assignment Date, such space shall no longer be part of the Subleased Premises or covered by this Sublease and the rentable area of the Subleased Premises, the Base Rent and Expense Rent shall be appropriately reduced.

(ii) Sublandlord’s Right to Underlet. Upon receipt of any Assignment Notice in which Subtenant proposes to sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises for a Full Term Third Party Sublease, Sublandlord shall have the option with respect to each such Assignment Notice, exercisable by Sublandlord in writing within sixty (60) days (which period shall be reduced to 15 business days in the case of a Specific Assignment Notice) after receipt of such Assignment Notice, to underlet from Subtenant the space which Subtenant so desires to sublet, for the term for which Subtenant desires to sublet it and for a rent equal to the lower of

A. the rent for which Subtenant proposes to sublet such space, as set forth in the Assignment Notice and the instruments which accompany such notice, or

B. the rent which Subtenant by the terms of this Sublease is required to pay for the rentable area of the space so to be sublet, such underlease to be upon the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Sublease except as hereinafter provided and except for such thereof which are irrelevant or inapplicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that:

(1) such underlease to Sublandlord shall give the undertenant the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Subtenant’s permission, (x) to assign such underlease or any interest therein and/or to underlet from time to time the space covered by such underlease or any parts of such space for any purpose, or purposes that the undertenant, in the undertenant’s uncontrolled discretion, shall deem suitable or appropriate, except that Sublandlord agrees that any such underlease will not be assigned except simultaneously with an assignment of Sublandlord’s interest under this Sublease so that at all times the Sublandlord under this Sublease and the undertenant under said underlease shall be the same person, corporation or other entity, and each assignor of such underlease shall thereafter be released of all obligations under such underlease, and (y) to make any and all changes, alterations and improvements in the space covered by such underlease deemed desirable by the undertenant;

(2) such underlease shall provide that any assignee or subtenant of the undertenant may, at the election of the undertenant, be permitted to make alterations, decorations and installations in such space or any part thereof (subject to the receipt of Landlord’s approval of the same, and Subtenant shall have no obligation of any restoration with respect to any such alterations, decorations or installations);

26


(3) such underlease shall provide that the parties to such underlease expressly negate any intention that any estate created under such underlease be merged with any other estate held by either of said parties;

(4) Subtenant shall and will at all times at its expense provide and permit an appropriate and lawful means of ingress and egress from such space so underlet by Subtenant to Sublandlord, such means of ingress or egress to be specified by Subtenant in the Assignment Notice with respect to such space;

(5) Sublandlord, at Subtenant’s expense, may make such Alterations as may be required or deemed necessary by Sublandlord physically to separate the underleased space from the balance of the Subleased Premises and to comply with all laws and requirements of public authorities relating to such separation;

(6) the occupant or occupants of all or any part or parts of such space shall, in common with Subtenant, have the use of toilet and other common facilities on the floor on which such space is located; and

(7) no default by Sublandlord under such underlease or by anyone claiming through such underlease shall be deemed to constitute a default under this Sublease.

(h) Other Additional Conditions. If Sublandlord does not exercise any option granted to Sublandlord by Sections 21(g)(i) or 21(g)(ii) with respect to a proposed sublease or assignment which is the subject of an Assignment Notice, Sublandlord agrees that, after Sublandlord’s receipt of an executed copy of the proposed instrument of sublease or assignment and all other agreements, if any, related to the proposed sublease or assignment, and any other information reasonably requested by Sublandlord, Sublandlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to such proposed sublease or assignment provided that the terms of the instrument of sublease or assignment conform to the Assignment Notice, the conditions of Section 21(c) above shall be satisfied, and the following further conditions shall be satisfied:

(i) the Subleased Premises or any part thereof shall not, without Sublandlord’s prior consent, have been listed or otherwise publicly advertised for subletting at a rental rate less than the rental rate being sought by Landlord or Sublandlord for space in the Project, and all advertisements of the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof for subletting shall have been approved by Sublandlord. The foregoing, however, shall not be deemed to prohibit Subtenant from negotiating or consummating a sublease at a lower rental rate;

(ii) Subtenant shall not then be in Default under this Sublease with respect to any monetary obligations beyond the time herein provided, if any, to cure such default and shall not otherwise be in Default under this Sublease beyond the time herein provided, if any, to cure such default;

27


(iii) the proposed subtenant or assignee is engaged in a business or activity, and the Subleased Premises, or the relevant part thereof, will be used in a manner, which (A) is in keeping with the then standards of the 75 Binney Building and the Project and (B) is not prohibited under the Sublease or the Lease;

(iv) if Landlord or Sublandlord has space available for lease or sublease in the Project, the proposed subtenant or assignee shall not then be a person or entity, nor an affiliate of a person or entity, with whom Sublandlord or Landlord, as applicable, is then actively negotiating to lease space in the Building;

(v) the proposed subtenant or assignee is of good reputation with sufficient financial worth considering the responsibility involved, and Sublandlord has been furnished with reasonable evidence of such financial worth and any sublease shall provide that, upon Sublandlord’s request from time to time, the proposed subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a copy of subtenant’s most recent financial statements certified by an officer of subtenant;

(vi) any proposed sublease shall state that it is expressly subject to all of the obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease and shall contain the further condition and restriction that the sublease shall not be assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred or the subleased premises further sublet by the sublessee in whole or in part, or any part thereof suffered or permitted by the sublessee to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Landlord in each instance as provided herein;

(vii) any proposed sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Sublease and to the matters to which this Sublease is or shall be subordinate, and that in the event of the termination of this Sublease, or the re-entry or dispossession of Subtenant by Sublandlord under this Sublease, such subtenant shall, at Sublandlord’s option, attorn to Sublandlord as its sublessor pursuant to the then applicable terms of such sublease for the remaining term thereof, except that such subtenant shall have no right to use any portion of the Subleased Premises (or other space in the Building occupied or controlled by Subtenant) which is not part of the subleased premises, and Sublandlord shall not be (1) liable for any previous act or omission of Subtenant; (2) subject to any offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such subtenant (including, without limitation, any rights under 11 U.S.C. §365(h)); (3) bound by any rent or other sums paid by such subtenant more than one month in advance; (4) liable for any security deposit not actually received by Sublandlord; (5) liable for any work or payments on account of improvements to the subleased premises or (6) bound by any amendment of such sublease not consented to in writing by Sublandlord;

(viii) no subletting shall be for a term of less than two (2) years (provided, however, that if less than two (2) years remains in the Sublease Term, such sublease may be for the balance of the Sublease Term);

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

28


(ix) in no event shall there be more than three (3) occupants including Subtenant on any one floor of the Subleased Premises; and

(x) without the express written consent of Sublandlord, the proposed subtenant or assignee shall not be a person or entity, nor an affiliate of a person or entity, which is engaged in research, development, sale or marketing of drugs for the treatment of cancer.

Subtenant agrees to furnish Sublandlord such information in addition to the information set forth in the Assignment Notice as Sublandlord may reasonably request in connection with the proposed sublease or assignment.

22. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease or in the Lease, Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to all or any part of the Subleased Premises, or be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent, Expense Rent, Parking Charges, Subtenant Surcharges, additional rent or any other item of rental, by reason of a casualty or condemnation affecting the Subleased Premises unless Sublandlord is entitled to terminate the Lease or is entitled to a corresponding abatement with respect to its corresponding obligation under the Lease. If Sublandlord is entitled to terminate the Lease for all or any portion of the Subleased Premises by reason of casualty or condemnation, Subtenant may terminate this Sublease as to any corresponding part of the Subleased Premises by written notice to Sublandlord given at least two (2) business days prior to the date(s) Sublandlord is required to give notice to Landlord of such termination under the terms of the Section 18 (Restoration) of the Lease.

23. CONSENTS. In no event shall Sublandlord be liable for failure to give its consent or approval in any situation where consent or approval has been withheld or refused by Landlord, whether or not such withholding or refusal was proper. Sublandlord shall diligently pursue any reasonable request for Landlord consents or approvals required hereunder and upon request of Subtenant shall appeal any unreasonable withholding of approval or refusal of consent by Landlord. Any consent required of Sublandlord under this Sublease shall not be withheld or unreasonably conditioned or delayed if approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Sublease and the Consent.

24. CONDITIONS; CONSENT OF LANDLORD; SNDA.

(a) Subtenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Sublease is subject to and conditioned upon Sublandlord obtaining the written consent (including recognition of this Sublease) (the “Consent”) of Landlord as provided in the Lease, which Consent shall be substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in the attached Exhibit “F”/Landlord’s Consent, acceptable to each of Subtenant and Sublandlord in its sole discretion.

29


(c) Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Sublease by Sublandlord and Subtenant, Sublandlord shall submit this Sublease to Landlord. It is expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Initial Term shall not commence, nor shall Subtenant take possession of the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, until the Consent and the SNDA have been obtained. Subtenant hereby agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith with Sublandlord and shall comply with any reasonable requests made of Subtenant by Sublandlord or Landlord in the procurement of the Consent and the SNDA. In no event shall either Sublandlord or Subtenant be obligated to make any payment to Landlord or to the Holder of any Mortgage in order to obtain the Consent, the SNDA or Landlord’s consent to any provision hereof, except as expressly provided hereunder or in the Lease. Subject to the foregoing, Sublandlord shall pay all costs or fees charged by or due to Landlord in connection with obtaining the Consent and the SNDA, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise.

(d) In the event Landlord does not give its written Consent to this Sublease or the Holder of any Mortgage does not deliver its SNDA as aforesaid, in each instance on or before July 31, 2015 (the “Notice and SNDA Delivery Date”), then, at the option of Subtenant upon written notice delivered to the Sublandlord following such Notice and SNDA Delivery Date, this Sublease shall not become effective, and there shall be no further obligation of the parties, unless within thirty (30) additional days following the giving of any such notice the Consent and the SNDA shall have been executed and delivered.

In the event Purchaser elects to exercise its Put Option, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to the Company specifying the closing date which date shall be forty-five (45) days from such notice date (the “Put Option Closing Date”), which notice must be given within sixty (60) days of Purchaser’s receipt of written notice from the Company of a Put Option Event.

On the Put Option Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase from Purchaser the Assigned Interests at the Put/Call Price in cash, the payment of which shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, immediately upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event, Purchaser shall be deemed to have automatically and simultaneously elected to have the Company repurchase from Purchaser the Assigned Interests for the Put/Call Price in cash and the Put/Call Price shall be immediately due and payable without any further action or notice by any party.

(b) Call Option. At any time after the Closing Date, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation (the “Call Option”), exercisable upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Purchaser, to repurchase the Assigned Interests from Purchaser at a repurchase price equal to the Put/Call Price. In order to exercise the Call Option, the Company shall deliver written notice to Purchaser of its election to so repurchase the Assigned Interests not less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed closing date (the “Call Closing Date”). On the Call Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase from Purchaser the Assigned Interests at the Put/Call Price, the payment of which shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Purchaser. Immediately upon exercise by the Company of the Call Option and the payment by the Company to Purchaser of the Put/Call Price, Purchaser shall be deemed to have automatically assigned to the Company all right, title, and interest in and to the Assigned Interest.

Purchaser shall have immediate and full access to any funds held in the Purchaser Concentration Account and such funds shall not be subject to any conditions or restrictions whatsoever, subject to Purchaser’s obligations under Section 5.08(f). After the Daily Amount is swept into the Purchaser Concentration Account, the amounts remaining in the Joint Concentration Account shall then be swept, automatically or as otherwise directed by the Company, into the Company Concentration Account.

Section 7.04 Successors and Assigns.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Company shall not be entitled to assign any of its obligations and rights under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Solely upon the consent of the Company (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Purchaser may assign any of its obligations or rights under the Transaction Documents without restriction other than to another pharmaceutical company; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign any of its obligations or rights under the Transaction Documents to a pharmaceutical company in connection with a change of control of Purchaser by virtue of a merger, sale or issuance of stock or the sale of all or substantially all of Purchaser’s assets; provided, further, that Purchaser, notwithstanding such assignment, will remain liable under Section 5.08(f) (solely to the extent of any amount subject thereto during the Fiscal Year as of the date of such assignment) and Section 7.05.

Section 7.05 Indemnification.

(a) The Company hereby indemnifies and holds Purchaser and its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, members, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses (including all Losses in connection with any product liability claims or claims of infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property rights of any Third Parties) incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by the Company in any of the Transaction Documents or the True-Up Statement or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by the Company pursuant to any Transaction Document or the True-Up Statement, including any failure by the Company to satisfy any of the Excluded Liabilities and Obligations.

(b) Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds the Company, its Affiliates and any of their respective partners, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by a Company Indemnified Party arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by Purchaser in any of the Transaction Documents or any breach of or default under any covenant or agreement by Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document.

(c) If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental Authority) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any such claim, demand, action or proceeding, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such claim, demand, action or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers

served, if any; provided, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.05 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of, or has a material adverse effect on the exercise or prosecution of, substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.05 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of such proceeding and has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interests between them based on the advice of such counsel. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d) Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to recover any monetary damages associated with a breach, subject to the other terms and provisions contained in this Agreement.

Section 7.06 No Implied Representations and Warranties.

Each party acknowledges and agrees that, other than the representations and warranties specifically contained in any of the Transaction Documents, there are no representations or warranties of either party or any other Person either expressed or implied with respect to the Assigned Interests or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Property and are not relying on any implied warranties or upon any representation or warranty whatsoever as to the future amount or potential amount of the Assigned Interests or as to the creditworthiness of Company and (b) except as expressly set forth in any representation or warranty in a Transaction Document, Purchaser shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.05 (or otherwise) with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished to Purchaser, any of its Affiliates, or any of its or its Affiliates’ representatives, including any information, documents or material made available to Purchaser and its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ representatives in any data room, presentation, interview or any other form relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.07 Independent Nature of Relationship.

(a) The relationship between the Company and Purchaser is solely that of seller and purchaser, and neither Purchaser nor the Company has any fiduciary or other special relationship with the other or any of their respective Affiliates.

(b) No officer or employee or agent of Purchaser will be located at the premises of the Company or any of its Affiliates, except in connection with an audit performed pursuant to Section 5.02. No officer, manager or employee of Purchaser shall engage in any commercial activity with the Company or any of its Affiliates other than as contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents.

For this purpose, the “comparable yield” and the “projected payment schedule” relating to the Assigned Interests may be obtained by contacting the Company at the address set forth in Section 7.03. The parties hereto agree not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.08 on any tax return or in any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding unless (i) the other parties to this Agreement have consented in writing to such actions, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) the party that contemplates taking such an inconsistent position has been advised by nationally recognized counsel or tax advisors in writing that it is more likely than not that there is no “reasonable basis” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662- 3(b)(3)) for the position specified in this Section 7.08.

Exhibit C

Form of Legal Opinion

 

  The Company is a corporation validly existing and in corporate good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

  The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Transaction Documents and has duly executed and delivered such Transaction Documents.

 

  Each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

  The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company, (ii) result in a breach or default under any material agreement of the Company, (iii) result in a violation of any order binding upon the Company or (iv) to our knowledge, result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company under any material agreement of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, any liens and security interests created pursuant to the Transaction Documents are excluded from this clause), and any material contracts or binding orders may be identified in a backup officer’s certificate from the Company.

 

  The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by each of the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, require any approval from or filing with any governmental authority of the United States, the State of New York, or the State of Delaware, other than the filings and records contemplated by the Transaction Documents to perfect security interests.

 

  The execution and delivery by each of the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the compliance by the Company with its obligations thereunder will not, result in any violation of any federal law of the United States, the law of the State of New York or any regulation thereunder, or the law of the State of Delaware or any regulation thereunder, which, in our experience are applicable to, or relevant in connection with, transactions of the type provided for in the Transaction Documents.

 

  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company is an “investment company” within the meaning of, and subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

  The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Purchaser, as security for the Secured Obligations, as defined in the Security Agreement, a security interest (the “Article 9 Security Interest”) in the Collateral as described in the Security Agreement to the extent that a security interest may be created therein under Article 9 of the New York UCC (the “Article 9 Collateral”).

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


  Upon the proper filing of the UCC Financing Statement with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Article 9 Security Interest will be perfected to the extent that a security interest can be perfected by the filing of financing statements pursuant to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC.

 

  The Article 9 Security Interest in the Joint Concentration Account (to the extent constituting Collateral as defined in the Security Agreement) and the Article 9 Security Interest in the Purchaser Concentration Account will be perfected by control upon the execution and delivery of the Security Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and will rank prior to any other security interest in the Joint Concentration Account (to the extent constituting Collateral as defined in the Security Agreement) and the Purchaser Concentration Account that is not perfected by control under Article 9 of the New York UCC.

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Purchaser may sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or transfer any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public foreclosure sale or in a private foreclosure sale or transaction, on any exchange or market or at the Purchaser’s offices or at any other location, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and may enter into all contracts necessary or appropriate in connection therewith,

without any notice whatsoever unless required by law. Where permitted by law, the Purchaser may be the purchaser at any such sale. The Company and ARIAD UK agree that at least ten (10) calendar days’ written notice to the Company and ARIAD UK of the time and place of any public foreclosure sale of Collateral, or the time after which any private foreclosure sale of Collateral is to be made, shall be commercially reasonable. The giving of notice of any such sale or other disposition shall not obligate the Purchaser to proceed with the sale or disposition, and any such sale or disposition may be postponed or adjourned from time to time, without further notice.

6.02 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Purchaser against the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority:

First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Purchaser and its agents and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Purchaser in connection therewith;

Second, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations then due and payable in the manner and order provided in the Assignment Agreement; and

Third, the reminder of such proceeds shall be paid to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 7. STANDARDS FOR EXERCISING REMEDIES. The powers conferred on the Purchaser hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Purchaser shall not be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Purchaser shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or to protect, preserve, vote or exercise any rights pertaining to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Purchaser hereunder are solely to protect the Purchaser’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Purchaser to exercise any such powers. The Purchaser shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Purchaser accords its own property or if it selects, with reasonable care, a custodian to hold such Collateral on its behalf.

Section 8. WAIVERS BY COMPANY; OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.

8.01 Specific Waivers. The Company and ARIAD UK waive demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement, notice of any purchase pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description other than those required pursuant to the Assignment Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party.

Section 9. NO MARSHALLING. The Purchaser shall not be required to marshal any present or future Collateral or to resort to the Collateral in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of the Collateral shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Company and ARIAD UK hereby agree that they shall not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Purchaser’s rights under this Security Agreement or under any of the Transaction Documents and, to the extent that they lawfully may, the Company and ARIAD UK hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.

Section 10. REINSTATEMENT. The obligations of the Company and ARIAD UK pursuant to this Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by the Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or ARIAD UK, all as though such payment had not been made.
