1. Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting quarterly information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements, but certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have been made. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2020 or any period thereafter. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020.
2. Organization and Business Activities
We are an integrated pharmaceutical company focused on finding ways to help medicines do more for patients. Eagle and our collaborators have the capabilities to take a molecule from preclinical research through regulatory approval and into the marketplace, including development, manufacturing and commercialization. Our business model applies our scientific expertise, proprietary research-based insights and marketplace proficiency to identify challenging-to-treat diseases of the central nervous system or metabolic critical care therapeutic areas as well as in oncology. By focusing on patients' unmet needs, Eagle strives to provide healthcare professionals with urgently needed treatment solutions that are designed to improve patient care and outcomes and create near- and long-term value for our stakeholders, including patients and healthcare providers and our employees, marketing partners, collaborators and investors.
Our science-based business model has a proven track record with U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval and commercial launches of three products: Ryanodex® (dantrolene sodium) ("Ryanodex"), bendamustine ready-to-dilute ("RTD") 500ml solution ("Belrapzo"), and rapidly infused bendamustine RTD ("Bendeka"). We market our products through marketing partners and/or our internal direct sales force. Eagle markets Ryanodex and Belrapzo, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Teva") markets Bendeka through its subsidiary Cephalon, Inc.
Reflecting further expansion of our oncology portfolio, in February 2020, we received final FDA approval for Pemfexy® (“Pemfexy”) and in July 2020, we announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) had established a unique, product-specific billing code for Pemfexy, effective on October 1, 2020. Pemfexy, our novel pemetrexed product, is a branded alternative to Alimta® for metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma. The conversion from tentative to a final approval follows the Company’s settlement agreement reached with Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) on December 13, 2019. This agreement provides for a release of all claims by the parties and allows for an initial entry of Pemfexy into the market (equivalent to approximately a three-week supply of current Alimta utilization) on February 1, 2022, and a subsequent uncapped entry on April 1, 2022.
On August 7, 2020, the Company received a Complete Response Letter for its NDA for Ryanodex for the treatment of exertional heat stroke (“EHS”); Eagle has decided that it will no longer pursue this indication.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(Unaudited)
March 2, 2020. Since the date of those consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies other than as listed below.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken and continues to take active measures designed to address and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, such as remote working policies, facilitating management’s periodic communication to address employee and business concerns and providing frequent updates to the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”). The Company anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic may also have an impact on the clinical development timelines for certain of its clinical programs, such as EA-114. The Company also anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact on the Company’s supply chain. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns have resulted in a decrease in healthcare utilization broadly and specifically lead to a continuing reduction in the utilization of physician-administered oncology products including Belrapzo and Bendeka. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the timing of ongoing litigation, including the litigation with Par (as defined below) with respect to Vasopressin, and the Company anticipates that such delays will continue for the duration of the pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company’s business, its clinical development and regulatory efforts, its supply chain and sales efforts, its corporate development objectives and the value of, and market for, its common stock will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, such as the ultimate duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing and business closure requirements in the United States, and other countries, and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain and treat the disease. The global economic slowdown, the overall disruption of global healthcare systems and other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic have impacted the Company’s operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
In addition, the Company is subject to other challenges and risks specific to its business and its ability to execute on its business plan and strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry with research and development operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: delays or problems in obtaining clinical supply; obtaining regulatory approval of its product candidates; loss of single source suppliers or failure to comply with manufacturing regulations; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or product candidates; product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; the challenges of protecting and enhancing its intellectual property rights; and the challenges of complying with applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affects the Company’s business and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties discussed above.
Use of Estimates
These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements including disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and accompanying notes. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments on the part of management in their application, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to disrupt the Company’s supply chain and marketing and sales efforts for certain of its products, including Bendeka, although it is not currently expected that any disruption would be significant. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Because of the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications were significant.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are held in United States financial institutions. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value due to its short-term nature.
The Company, at times, maintains balances with financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit.
Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value of interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their life being short term in nature, and are classified as Level 1 for all periods presented.
Financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value are as follows:

The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Our investment in restricted shares of common stock of Tyme Technologies, Inc. (“Tyme”) are classified as Level 1. Refer to Note 13, Collaboration with Tyme for further details.
The fair value of the forward contract associated with the accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") transaction with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association is classified as Level 2 for the periods presented. Refer to Note 8, Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation for further details.
The fair value of debt is classified as Level 2 for the periods presented and approximates its fair value due to the variable interest rate.
The fair value of any contingent consideration was classified as Level 3 for the periods presented.
Intangible Assets
The Company reviews the recoverability of its finite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets for indicators of impairments. Events or circumstances that may require an impairment assessment include negative clinical trial results, a significant decrease in the market price of the asset, or a significant adverse change in legal factors or the manner in which the asset is used. If such indicators are present, the Company assess the recoverability of affected assets by determining if the carrying value of such assets is less than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. If such assets are found to not be recoverable, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by comparing to the carrying value of the assets to the fair value of the assets. The Company determined that no indicators of impairment of finite-lived intangible assets or long-lived assets existed at September 30, 2020.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in the Eagle Biologics acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. The Company did not identify any impairment to goodwill during the periods presented.
Concentration of Major Customers and Vendors
The Company is dependent on a commercial partner who markets and sells Bendeka. The Company's customer for Bendeka is its commercial and licensing partner; therefore, the Company's future revenues are highly dependent on the related exclusive license and distribution arrangement.

Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in first-out basis. The Company periodically reviews the composition of inventory in order to identify obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise non-saleable items. If non-saleable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company will record a write-down to lower of cost and net realizable value in the period that the decline in value is first recognized.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the assets utilizing the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the lease term.
Research and Development Expense
Costs for research and development are charged to expense as incurred and include; employee-related expenses including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation expense for research and development personnel; expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations and service providers that assist in conducting clinical and preclinical studies; costs associated with preclinical activities and development activities, costs associated with regulatory operations; and depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities.
Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical studies, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided to the Company by its vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the patterns of costs incurred, and are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements as prepaid expenses or accrued expenses as deemed appropriate. Recoveries of previously recognized research and development expenses from third parties are recorded as a reduction to research and development expense in the period it becomes realizable.

Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $316 and $556 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Advertising and marketing costs were $2,204 and $1,673 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted rates and laws to taxable years in which differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Further, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income (loss) in the period that the rate changes. A valuation allowance is required when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740 also prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not file a return in a particular jurisdiction. We recognize any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue. Receivables from our product sales have payment terms ranging from 30 to 75 days with select extended terms to wholesalers on initial purchases of product launch quantities. Our receivables from royalty revenue are due 45 days from the end of the quarter.
Product revenue - The Company recognizes net revenue on sales to its commercial partners and to end users. In each instance, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.
Revenue on sales to commercial partners relates to Argatroban and Bendeka. Sales to our commercial partners are presented gross because the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product, is responsible to ensure that the product is produced in accordance with the related supply agreement and bears risk of loss while the inventory is in-transit to the commercial partner.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method to which the Company expects to be entitled. As such, revenue on sales to customers for Belrapzo, Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, Ryanodex and diclofenac-misoprostol are recorded net of chargebacks, rebates, returns, prompt pay discounts, wholesaler fees and other deductions. Our products are contracted with a limited number of oncology distributors and hospital buying groups with narrow differences in ultimate realized contract prices used to estimate our chargeback and rebate reserves. The Company has a product return policy on some of its products that allows the customer to return pharmaceutical products within a specified period of time both prior to and subsequent to the product’s expiration date. The Company's estimate of the provision for returns is analyzed quarterly and is based upon many factors, including historical experience of actual returns and analysis
EAGLE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
of the level of inventory in the distribution channel, if any. The Company has terms on sales of Ryanodex by which the Company does not accept returns. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration are made using the expected value method and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The Company believes that the estimates it has established are reasonable based upon current facts and circumstances. Applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances could result in the estimated amounts to vary.
Royalty Revenue — The Company recognizes revenue from license arrangements with its commercial partners' net sales of products. In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65, royalties are recognized when the subsequent sale of the commercial partner’s products occurs. The Company's commercial partners are obligated to report their net product sales and the resulting royalty due to the Company within 25 days for Bendeka and 60 days for Argatroban from the end of each quarter. Based on historical product sales, royalty receipts and other relevant information, the Company accrues royalty revenue each quarter and subsequently determines a true-up when it receives royalty reports from its commercial partners. Historically, these true-up adjustments have been immaterial.
License and other revenue — The Company analyzes each element of its licensing agreements to determine the appropriate revenue recognition. The terms of the license agreement may include payment to us of non-refundable up-front license fees, milestone payments if specified objectives are achieved, and/or royalties on product sales. The Company recognizes revenue from upfront payments at a point in time, typically upon fulfilling the delivery of the associated intellectual property to the customer.
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
The Company recognizes sales-based milestone payments as revenue upon the achievement of the cumulative sales amount specified in the contract in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65. For those milestone payments which are contingent on the occurrence of particular future events, the Company determined that these need to be considered for inclusion in the calculation of total consideration from the contract as a component of variable consideration using the most-likely amount method. As such, the Company assesses each milestone to determine the probability and substance behind achieving each milestone. Given the inherent uncertainty of the occurrence of these future events, the Company will not recognize revenue from the milestone until there is not a high probability of a reversal of revenue, which typically occurs near or upon achievement of the event.
Collaborative licensing and development revenue — The Company recognizes revenue from reimbursements received in connection with feasibility studies and development work for third parties when its contractual services are performed, provided collectability is reasonably assured. Its principal costs under these agreements include its personnel conducting research and development, its allocated overhead, as well as the research and development performed by outside contractors or consultants.
Upon termination of a collaboration agreement, any remaining non-refundable license fees received by the Company, which had been deferred, are generally recognized in full. All such recognized revenues are included in collaborative licensing and development revenue in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes revenue from milestone payments received under collaboration agreements when earned, provided that the milestone event is substantive, its achievability was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, the Company has no further performance obligations relating to the event, and collectability is reasonably assured. If these criteria are not met, the Company would generally recognize milestone payments ratably over the remaining period of its performance obligations under the collaboration agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation that requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all stock-based payments including stock options and restricted stock. This topic requires companies to estimate the fair value of the stock-based awards on the date of grant for options issued to employees and directors and record expense over the employees' service periods, which are generally the vesting period of the equity awards.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees and directors based on estimated grant date fair values. The straight-line method is used to allocate compensation cost to reporting periods over each optionee's requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees and directors is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model and a Monte Carlo simulation model for performance share units. These models require the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, the calculation of expected term, historical forfeitures and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, among other inputs. The risk-free interest rate is determined with the implied yield currently available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the options.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic earnings per share, except that the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of warrants, options, convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted earnings per share contemplate a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.
The anti-dilutive common shares equivalents outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued Update 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments in Update 2020-04 are elective and apply to all entities that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR, formerly known as the London Interbank Offered Rate,
or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients, including; (1) Simplify accounting analyses under current GAAP for contract modifications, such as modifications of contracts within the scope of Topic 470, Debt, that will be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate, as if any modification was not substantial. That is, the original contract and the new contract shall be accounted for as if they were not substantially different from one another; (2) Simplify the assessment of hedge effectiveness and allow hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform to continue; (3) Allow a one-time election to sell or transfer debt securities classified as held to maturity before January 1, 2020 that reference a rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments are effective for all entities from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of the ASU. An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-4 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and the Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into U.S. federal law, which is aimed at providing emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families, and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and generally supporting the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions related to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Reimbursement was not sought by the Company. The CARES Act has not had, and the Company does not currently expect it to have, a material impact on the Company’s financial statements at this time.

Leases
The Company leases its corporate office under an amended lease agreement that expires on June 30, 2025 (the "Corporate Office Lease"). The Corporate Office Lease was amended on August 8, 2019 to extend the term through such date and to increase the amount of leased office space. The Company also leases lab space under a lease agreement that expires on October 31, 2023 (the "Lab Space Lease"). The Company estimated the right of use asset and the corresponding lease liability, on a discounted basis, as of the adoption date of January 1, 2019. The future minimum lease payments under this Corporate Office Lease are approximately $6.6 million.
For the Corporate Office Lease and Lab Space Lease, which are the Company's two operating leases, the amortization and interest expense components are combined and recognized ratably over the remaining term of the lease as research and development and selling, general and administrative in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively.
The Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of the right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities as of the date of adoption date. The implicit interest rate related to the Company’s two lease agreements was not known as of the date of adoption. Therefore, the Company calculated an incremental borrowing rate based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

Common Stock
Share Repurchase Program
On March 17, 2020, the Company, announced that its Board approved a new share repurchase program, or the Share Repurchase Program, providing for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $160.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Share Repurchase Program replaced the Company’s then existing share repurchase program, or the Previous Share Repurchase Program, which was announced on October 30, 2018 and was terminated in connection with the Board’s approval of the Share Repurchase Program. At termination, the Company had repurchased approximately $68.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock under the Previous Share Repurchase Program.
Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The repurchases have no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued completely at any time. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors. The repurchases will be made using the Company’s cash resources.
On September 23, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a $25.0 million accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) transaction with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JP Morgan”) as part of the Company’s existing $160.0 million share repurchase program. The specific number of shares to be repurchased pursuant to the ASR is based on the average of the daily volume weighted average share prices of the Company’s common stock, less a discount, during the term of the ASR program. Under the terms of the Company's agreement with JP Morgan, the Company paid $25.0 million to JP Morgan on September 24, 2020, and received 505,817 shares, representing approximately 80% of the notional amount of the ASR, based on the closing price of $39.54 on September 23, 2020. Upon settlement of the ASR, the final number of shares repurchased will be determined based on the average of the daily volume weighted average share prices of the Company’s common stock, less a discount, during the term of the ASR. The ASR will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company included $5.0 million representing approximately 20% of the notional amount of the ASR in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company determined the ASR contained a forward contract and therefore the Company recorded fair value adjustments on unsettled accelerated share repurchase agreement in the amount of $2.5 million which was a loss recorded in Other expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the three months ended September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 3,594,551 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $199.9 million pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase programs in effect since August 2016.
Stock-Based Compensation
In November 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") which became effective on February 11, 2014. The 2014 Plan provides for the awards of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Awards generally vest equally over a period of four years from grant date. Vesting may be accelerated under a change in control of the Company or in the event of death or disability to the recipient. In the event of termination, any unvested shares or options are forfeited.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company introduced a new long-term incentive program with the objective to better align the stock-based awards granted to management with the Company's focus on improving total shareholder return over the long-term. The stock-based awards granted under this long-term incentive program consist of time-based stock options, time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based stock units ("PSUs"). PSUs are comprised of awards that vest upon achievement of certain share price appreciation conditions.

10. Debt
On November 8, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Revised Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”) and the lenders party thereto, which replaced the Company’s existing credit agreement, dated as of August 8, 2017. The terms and amounts borrowed under the Revised Credit Agreement includes a drawn term loan of $40.0 million and an undrawn revolving credit facility of $110.0 million. The schedule of principal payments for the new term loan facility was extended to November 8, 2022.
As of September 30, 2020, the terms and amounts borrowed under the Revised Credit Agreement included a drawn term loan of $40.0 million. The Company obtained revolving loans under the revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2020 in the amount of $110.0 million.

million on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. Per the terms of the Revised Credit Agreement, the Company is limited in its ability to pay dividends. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with each of the senior secured net leverage ratio; total net leverage ratio; and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants.
The term loan facility bears interest at the Adjusted LIBOR (equal to (a) the LIBOR for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate as established by Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America) for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus the applicable rate as described below. The Agent and the Company may amend the Revised Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement, described below.
Loans under the Revised Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either (a) the LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.0% per annum, based upon the total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Revised Credit Agreement), or (b) the Benchmark Replacement which is defined as the greatest of the prime lending rate, or the NYFRB Rate (the rate for a federal funds transaction) in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% or the Adjusted LIBOR for a one month Interest Period on such day plus 1% plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.0% per annum, based upon the total net leverage ratio.
The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the new revolving credit facility in the Revised Credit Agreement at a rate ranging from 0.35% to 0.45% per annum based upon the total net leverage ratio. The Company is obligated to repay a contractually agreed portion of the term loan on the last day of each March, June, September and December in accordance with the Revised Credit Agreement.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $1.0 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs as part of long-term debt in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For interim periods, we recognize an income tax (provision) benefit based on our estimated annual effective tax rate expected for the entire year plus the effects of certain discrete items occurring in the quarter. The interim annual estimated effective tax rate is based on the statutory tax rates then in effect, as adjusted for changes in estimated permanent differences, and certain discrete items whose tax effect, when material, is recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

(Unaudited)
The provision for income taxes was based on the applicable federal and state tax rates for those periods. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects the impact of a valuation allowance established and adjusted for the fair value adjustments on the Company’s investment in Tyme, certain non-deductible executive compensation, non-deductible nature of the fair value adjustment of the unsettled ASR agreement, changes in state filing positions partially offset by credits for research and development activity. The Company reviews the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset are considered, along with any other positive or negative evidence. Since future financial results, including the fair value adjustment on the Company’s investment in Tyme may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowances may be necessary.
Deferred income tax assets as of September 30, 2020 consisted of temporary differences primarily related to stock-based compensation and research and development tax credit carryforwards, partially offset by temporary differences related to intangible assets.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and several states. Given that the Company has incurred tax losses in most years since its inception, all of the Company’s tax years are effectively open to examination. The Company is currently under audit by three State tax jurisdictions. The Company had no amount recorded for any unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2020. The Company regularly evaluates its tax positions for additional unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest and penalties, if applicable. There are many factors that are considered when evaluating these tax positions including: interpretation of tax laws, recent tax litigation on a position, past audit or examination history, and subjective estimates and assumptions. The Company reflects interest and penalties attributable to income taxes, to the extent they arise, as a component of income tax provision or benefit.
12. Legal Proceedings
In addition to the below legal proceedings, from time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters, or matters discussed below, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business nor has the Company recorded any loss in connection with these matters because the Company believes that loss is neither probable nor estimable. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Commercial Litigation
In Re: Taxotere (Docetaxel)
On February 1, 2017, the Company was named as a defendant, among various other manufacturers, in several product liability suits that are consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana as part of MDL 2740 (Civil Action No 2:16 md-2740), or the Multidistrict Litigation. The claims are for personal injuries allegedly arising out of the use of docetaxel.
In March 2017, the Company reached agreements in principle with the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in this matter to voluntarily dismiss the Company from all of the lawsuits in which it was named and from the master complaint. The Company is in the process of working with the other parties in this matter to have it removed from the Multidistrict litigation entirely. As part of the agreement, in the event a case is brought in the future with facts that justify the Company’s inclusion, the plaintiffs reserved the right to include the Company in such matter. The plaintiffs have filed several additional lawsuits since the parties’ agreement in principle to dismiss, and the Company is in the process of working with plaintiffs to explore the possibility of dismissing those lawsuits.
Eagle v. Burwell
On April 27, 2016, the Company filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “District Court”) against the FDA and other federal defendants seeking an order requiring the FDA to recognize orphan drug exclusivity for Bendeka for the treatment of CLL and indolent B-cell NHL. On June 8, 2018, the District Court issued a decision requiring the
EAGLE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
FDA to recognize seven years of orphan drug exclusivity in the U.S. for Bendeka, and on July 6, 2018 the FDA recognized such ODE until December 7, 2022. In addition, on July 6, 2018, the FDA submitted a Motion to Alter or Amend the Judgement Pursuant to Rule 59(e), pursuant to which the FDA requested that the District Court amend its decision to make clear that the decision does not affect any applications referencing TREANDA. The FDA’s motion was denied by the District Court on August 1, 2018 on the grounds that the FDA had not satisfied the standard for altering or amending the judgment. The FDA and two intervenors appealed the District Court’s final judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”). Oral arguments occurred on October 17, 2019, and on March 13, 2020 a panel of the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision.
FDA filed a petition for rehearing en banc on May 27, 2020, which was denied on August 17, 2020. Previously, on February 20, 2019, the FDA issued a decision in favor of the Company, regarding the scope of orphan drug exclusivity for Bendeka. Pursuant to the FDA’s decision, no bendamustine product used to treat the same indications (including generic versions of TREANDA) may launch in the United States until December 7, 2022 unless it is clinically superior to Bendeka.
Eagle v. Eli Lilly
On August 24, 2017, the Company filed an antitrust complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“New Jersey District Court”) against Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”). The complaint alleges that Lilly engaged in anticompetitive conduct which restrained competition by delaying and blocking the Company’s launch of a competing pemetrexed injection product (to compete with Lilly’s Alimta). Lilly accepted service and answered the complaint on October 27, 2017. Lilly also filed a motion to transfer this case to Delaware on October 27, 2017. The Company filed a motion to oppose such transfer on November 6, 2017. On July 20, 2018, the New Jersey District Court transferred the case to Delaware. On November 27, 2018, the Delaware Court stayed the case at least until conclusion of the PemfexyTM patent trial described below. On December 16, 2019, the Delaware Court entered the Company and Lilly’s stipulation dismissing this case with prejudice.
Cipla v. Eagle
On April 16, 2020, Cipla Limited (“Cipla”) filed a request for arbitration against Eagle with the London Court of International Arbitration. The request alleges that Eagle’s refusal to take delivery of several batches of Argatroban finished drug product constitutes a breach of the Company and Cipla’s December 14, 2012 supply agreement. Eagle believes that allegations in the demand for arbitration are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in the arbitration, which is currently scheduled for June 2021.
Patent Litigation
Eli Lilly and Company v. Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PemfexyTM (Pemetrexed))
On August 14, 2017, Lilly filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana (the “Indiana Suit”). Lilly alleged patent infringement based on the filing of the Company’s 505(b)(2) NDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell the Company’s EP-5101. EP-5101, if finally approved by FDA, will be a branded alternative to Alimta®.
On September 8, 2017, Eagle moved to dismiss the Indiana Suit for improper venue. On September 11, 2017, Lilly voluntarily dismissed the Indiana Suit. It then filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging similar patent infringement claims (the “Delaware Suit”). Eagle answered and filed various counterclaims in the Delaware Suit on October 3, 2017. Lilly answered Eagle’s counterclaims on October 24, 2017. On May 31, 2018, Eagle filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, which the Court denied on October 26, 2018. On January 23, 2019, the Court held a Markman hearing. Trial took place from October 28, 2019 to October 31, 2019 and continued on December 12, 2019 through December 13, 2019. On December 13, 2019, the Company and Lilly settled this litigation. The settlement agreement provides for a release of all claims by the parties and allows for an initial entry of Pemfexy into the market (equivalent to approximately a three week supply of current Alimta utilization) on February 1, 2022 and a subsequent uncapped entry on April 1, 2022. On December 16, 2019, the District Court entered the Company and Lilly’s stipulation dismissing this case with prejudice.
