While disappointed by the miss on Sesen's ability to execute an independent commercial launch of vicineum for bladder cancer, based on the facts and the financial market conditions last year, I think the transaction provides the best value for me and a good shot on goal with Carisma validated with the cash of the other pharma/investor players they attracted.

The merger provides, as now constituted:

$0.34 per share cash dividend ($70 million 1H2023)

$0.14 per share CVR for Roche $30M milestone (binary cash payment - accrues paid upon Roche’s initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial with legacy IL-6 antagonist antibody if initiated prior to December 31, 2026)

$?.?? cash if Vicineum is sold/licensed - added to the CVR - the best way we can participate in capturing any value based on the uncertainty/board's unwillingness to fund another Phase 3

$0.40 ~ stock in Carisma which has a bunch of cash on-hand (partially from our remaining $75 million) and liquidity as a public company - alongside investors Abbvie, TPG Biotech, Moderna, Wellington - and a stake in their promising IP

It's very possible he wants to sell it. After all, he gave himself and his minions tons of incentive grants. All at above the current price of SESN.

My guess is Cannell has a deal if Qilu phase 3 data WOULD get approval.the market is worth $12 a share for bladder cancer. If they have any data worth talking about for pancreatic that doubles. That would be a great deal for both parties. Roche, Merck, an AZ will be suitors.

Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 18, 2022, Sesen Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it has executed an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and Hoffman-La Roche Inc. (“Roche”) pursuant to which Roche purchased all patent rights and know-how related to the monoclonal antibody EBI-031 and all other IL-6 anti-IL antagonist monoclonal antibody technology owned by the Company (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”) for up to $70 million. As a result of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company’s previous license agreement with Roche dated June 10, 2016 (the “Roche License Agreement”) was terminated resulting in no further diligence, milestone or royalty payment obligations under the Roche License Agreement. Prior to the termination of the Roche License Agreement, the Company had received $50 million in upfront and milestone payments from Roche.

The Asset Purchase Agreement includes a $40 million payment to Sesen Bio upon execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and an additional $30 million payment to Sesen Bio that is conditioned upon Roche’s initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial with EBI-031 for a defined indication prior to December 31, 2026.

The Company entered into the Roche License Agreement in June 2016 pursuant to which the Company granted Roche an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Licensed Intellectual Property. EBI-031, a humanized monoclonal antibody that potently binds IL-6 and inhibits all known forms of IL-6 cytokine signaling, is currently being developed by Roche for the potential treatment of ocular diseases.

As previously disclosed, Sesen Bio has initiated a process to review potential strategic alternatives with the goal of maximizing shareholder value. The Company believes the Asset Purchase Agreement and the associated proceeds have the potential to enable a favorable strategic transaction by increasing the range and attractiveness of strategic alternatives that the Company is able to consider.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Rumors of Roach buyout circulating
👍️0
InvestorPhilia4 InvestorPhilia4 2 years ago
Punchline: There is about $1.00 per share of cash after the Roche APA, plus up to ~ $0.15 per share of future payments from Roche vs. stock price < $0.62 WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE VALUE OF VICINEUM.

Two SESN 8-Ks today contained this key information:

1a. They disclosed clarifying information regarding discussions with FDA. Now they can disclose these items to potential partners and let them select a path forward.
1b. They are suspending development. If there is a timely partnering/sale event, the new partner/owner can decide the path forward. There could be a reduction in workforce and related cost, but the two 8-Ks might be part of clarifying the field for final bids on the company.
1c. “As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $161.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, no outstanding debt and fewer than 0.2 million outstanding warrants.”

2a. They announced the APA for the legacy drug EBI-031.
2b. “The Asset Purchase Agreement includes a $40 million payment to Sesen Bio upon execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and an additional $30 million payment to Sesen Bio that is conditioned upon Roche’s initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial with EBI-031 for a defined indication prior to December 31, 2026.”

VALUE:
a. So there was cash of $161.2 million plus $40 million, or cash (before July cash burn) of ~ $201.2 million or about $1.00 per share.
b. There is the potential for an additional $30 million payment from Roche (up to $0.15 per share by 2026).
c. Vicineum Out-licenses & market opportunities:

i. Qilu license for China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (“Greater China”) $20 million in tech transfer and regulatory payments still available + 12% royalties ($0.10 per share plus royalties still available) - upfront payment of $12 million (previously received) and is eligible to receive up to an additional $23 million in technology transfer and regulatory milestone payments (of which ~$3 million was received). Upon commercialization in Greater China, Sesen is also entitled to receive royalties on net sales in Greater China.

The Investigational New Drug application for Vicineum submitted by Qilu to the Center for Drug Evaluation of the NMPA was accepted for review in January 2021 and approved in March 2021, resulting in a $3 million milestone payment from Qilu, the first milestone payment out of the $23 million in potential milestone payments. The Company recorded $2.8 million (net of VAT) as license revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The Company received the payment in 2021.

In June 2021, the Qilu License Agreement was recognized by Shandong Province, Bureau of Science and Technology as a "Technology Transfer". An agreement that is designated as a Technology Transfer shall be entitled to a tax incentive of VAT recovery. As such, the Company recorded $0.9 million of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021 for additional purchase price resulting from Qilu's obligation to pay Sesen an amount equal to its recovery of VAT. The Company will not be subject to VAT on future potential milestone payments from Qilu.

ii. US

iii. Europe

iv. MENA

v. ...EIP Eczacibasi Ilaç Pazarlama A.S., (“EIP”) pursuant to which it granted EIP an exclusive license to register and commercialize Vicineum for the treatment of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC in Turkey and Northern Cyprus (the “EIP License Agreement"). Under the terms of the EIP License Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive an upfront payment of $1.5 million. The Company and EIP have amended the license agreement to defer EIP's payment of the upfront payment to coincide with the potential FDA approval of Vicineum. The Company is eligible to receive additional regulatory and commercial milestone payments of $2.0 million and is also entitled to receive a 30% royalty on net sales in Turkey and Northern Cyprus.

iv. ROW

Offsets to value above:

Options for 15.7 million shares at a weighted avg price of $1.93 for 2021 and prior are out there plus 1.1 million shares granted in 1Q'22 at wtd avg of $0.71.

Payments under in-license agreements: one-time and royalty payments are triggered upon certain development milestones and commercial sales (see the SEC filings).
