Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 11, 2020, PDL BioPharma, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. Following the release, the Company discovered and corrected an error in the ownership of certain deferred tax assets (“DTAs”). More specifically, it was subsequently determined that DTAs included with our LENSAR, Inc. (“LENSAR”) subsidiary would remain with the Company after LENSAR’s spin-off. This resulted in an increase of $7.2 million to the Net Assets in Liquidation. Please refer to the full text of the corrected earnings release furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 on this Form 8-K. The Company has posted the corrected earnings release on its website.

The Company also hosted an earnings call and webcast on November 11, 2020 during which the Company discussed its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, summarized in the presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, which is incorporated by reference herein.
