reduction impacts the bottom line.



Upfront and Milestone Payments

In connection with entering into the Eisai Agreement, we received from Eisai an upfront payment of $60.0 million. This payment is in addition to the $50.0 million and $5.0 million in upfront payments we received from Eisai in connection with entering into the original agreement and the first amended agreement, respectively.

We are also eligible to receive up to an aggregate of $176.5 million in additional regulatory and development milestone payments. These milestone payments include an aggregate of $53.5 million in such potential milestone payments that remained available for us to achieve under the first amended agreement and an aggregate of $123.0 million in additional potential milestone payments under the Eisai Agreement.
 




Product Purchase Price and Purchase Price Adjustment Payments


We manufacture BELVIQ at our facility in Switzerland, and sell BELVIQ to Eisai for Eisai’s
commercialization in the United States and, subject to applicable regulatory approval, in the other territories under the Eisai Agreement (other than Europe, China and Japan) for a purchase price starting at 31.5% and 30.75%, respectively (and starting at 27.5% in Europe, China and Japan), of Eisai’s aggregate annual net product sales. The purchase price will increase on a tiered basis in the United States and the other territories (other than
Europe, China and Japan) to as high as 36.5% and 35.75%, respectively, on the portion of Eisai’s annual aggregate net product sales exceeding $750.0 million in all territories other than Europe, China and Japan. The purchase price will increase to 35% in Europe, China and Japan on the portion of Eisai’s annual aggregate net product sales exceeding $500.0 million in such territories. The purchase price is subject to reduction (for sales in a particular country), including in the event of generic competition in the applicable country.

In addition to payments for purchases of BELVIQ, we are eligible to receive up to an aggregate of $1.56 billion in one-time purchase price adjustment payments and other payments. These payments include up to an aggregate of $1.19 billion that are based on Eisai’s annual net product sales of BELVIQ in all of the territories under the Eisai Agreement on an aggregate basis, with the first and last amounts payable with annual net product sales of $250.0 million and $2.5 billion, respectively. Of these payments, Eisai will pay us a total of $330.0 million for annual net product sales of up to $1.0 billion. The $1.56 billion also includes $370.0 million in one-time purchase price adjustment payments we are eligible to receive based on annual net product sales in the non-US territories, comprised of $185.0 million based on Eisai’s annual net product sales in the non-US territories in North and South America and $185.0 million based on Eisai’s annual net product sales in the territories outside of North and South America. The first and last amounts are payable upon first achievement of annual net product sales of $100.0 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, with respect to each of the following areas: (i) the non-US territories in North and South America and (ii) the territories outside of North and South America. In addition, we are also eligible to receive certain payments by Eisai if certain annual minimum sales requirements in Mexico, Canada and Brazil are not met during the first ten years after initial commercial sale in
such territories.
 












The price reduction is going to make things interesting if scripts are not increased by a substantial multiplier.

Say 5x current paid scripts.

Just a guess.

You're f-ing kidding me right? Number of Rxs will continue to decline. Price reductions mean failure in Pharma. You drive demand and RAISE your price.
