On March 31, 2021 Journey executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Qbrexza APA”) with Dermira, Inc. a subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company (“Dermira”).  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement Journey acquired the rights to Qbrexza® (glycopyrronium), a prescription cloth towelette to treat primary axillary hyperhidrosis in patients nine years of age or older.

Upon Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance, which was received on May 13, 2021, Journey paid the upfront fee of $12.5 million to Dermira. In addition, Dermira is eligible to receive up to $144 million in the aggregate upon the achievement of certain milestones. Royalties ranging from the lower teen digits to the upper teen digits will be payable on net sales of Qbrexza® products, of which royalty amounts are subject to 50% diminution in the event of loss of exclusivity due to the introduction of an authorized generic.

Upon closing of the Qbrexza® purchase, Journey became substituted for Dermira as the plaintiff in U.S. patent litigation commenced by Dermira on October 21, 2020 in the U.S. District Court of Delaware (the “Patent Litigation”) against Perrigo Pharma International DAC (“Perrigo”) alleging infringement of certain patents covering Qbrexza® (the “Qbrexza® Patents”), which are included among the proprietary rights to Qbrexza® to be acquired pursuant to the Qbrexza APA. The Patent Litigation was initiated following the submission by Perrigo, in accordance with the procedures set out in the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”), of an Abbreviated New Drug Application, or ANDA. The ANDA seeks approval to market a generic version of Qbrexza® prior to the expiration of the Qbrexza® Patents and alleges that the Qbrexza® Patents are invalid. Perrigo is subject to a 30-month stay preventing it from selling a generic version, but that stay is set to expire on March 9, 2023. Trial in the Patent Litigation is scheduled for September 19, 2022. The Company cannot make any predictions about the final outcome of this matter or the timing thereof.

The purchase price of $12.5 million included the asset Qbrexza as well as finished goods and raw material inventory.  In accordance with ASC 805, Journey fair valued the asset and the inventory and allocated the upfront payment to inventory since the fair value of the assets purchased exceeded the purchase price. The future contingent milestone payments, if achieved, will most likely be recorded to intangible asset and amortized over the seven year life of the asset commencing on the closing date, as we expect all inventory to be utilized or written off prior to the achievement of contingent milestones.  As such, amortization of this intangible asset may be adjusted prospectively.
