MOMENTA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED, CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. The Company
 
Business  
Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc., referred to as Momenta or the Company, was incorporated in the state of Delaware in May 2001 and began operations in early 2002. Its facilities are located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Momenta is a biotechnology company focused on developing generic versions of complex drugs, biosimilars and novel therapeutics for autoimmune diseases. The Company presently derives all of its revenue from its collaborations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, applicable to interim periods and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary to state fairly the results of operations for the reported periods. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 , which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 24, 2017. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Momenta Pharmaceuticals Securities Corporation and Momenta Ireland Limited. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, and share-based payments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services have been performed or products have been delivered; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured.
 
The Company has entered into collaboration and license agreements with pharmaceutical companies for the development and commercialization of certain of its product candidates. The Company’s performance obligations under the terms of these agreements may include (i) transfer of intellectual property rights (licenses), (ii) providing research and development services, and (iii) participation on joint steering committees with the collaborators. Non-refundable payments to the Company under these agreements may include up-front license fees, payments for research and development activities, payments based upon the achievement of defined collaboration objectives and profit share or royalties on product sales.
 
At June 30, 2017 , the Company had collaboration and license agreements with Sandoz AG (formerly Sandoz N.V. and Biochemie West Indies, N.V.), an affiliate of Novartis Pharma AG, and Sandoz Inc. (formerly Geneva Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), collectively referred to as Sandoz; Sandoz AG; Mylan Ireland Limited, a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Mylan N.V., or Mylan; and CSL Behring Recombinant Facility AG, or CSL, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of CSL Limited.

The Company evaluates its arrangements pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, on Collaborative Arrangements, or ASC 808, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, or ASU 2009-13. When evaluating multiple element arrangements under ASU 2009-13, the Company identifies the deliverables included within the agreement and determines whether the deliverables under the arrangement represent separate units of accounting. Deliverables under the arrangement are a separate unit of accounting if (i) the delivered item has value to the customer on a standalone basis and (ii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item and delivery or performance of the undelivered items are considered probable and substantially within the Company’s control. This evaluation requires subjective determinations and requires management to make judgments about the individual deliverables and whether such deliverables are separable from the other aspects of the contractual relationship. In determining the units of accounting, management evaluates certain criteria, including whether the deliverables have standalone value, based on the consideration of the relevant facts and circumstances for each arrangement. The Company considers whether the collaborator can use the license or other deliverables for their intended purpose without the receipt of the remaining elements, and whether the value of the deliverable is dependent on the undelivered items and whether there are other vendors that can provide the undelivered items.
 
Arrangement consideration generally includes up-front license fees and non-substantive options to purchase additional products or services. The Company determines how to allocate arrangement consideration to identified units of accounting based on the selling price hierarchy provided under the relevant guidance. The Company determines the estimated selling price for deliverables using vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of selling price, if available, third-party evidence, or TPE, of selling price if VSOE is not available, or best estimate of selling price, or BESP, if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Determining the BESP for a deliverable requires significant judgment. The Company uses BESP to estimate the selling price for licenses to the Company’s proprietary technology, since the Company often does not have VSOE or TPE of selling price for these deliverables. In those circumstances where the Company utilizes BESP to determine the estimated selling price of a license to the Company’s proprietary technology, the Company considers entity specific factors, including those factors contemplated in negotiating the agreements as well as the license fees negotiated in similar license arrangements. Management may be required to exercise considerable judgment in estimating the selling prices of identified units of accounting under its agreements. In validating the Company’s BESP, the Company evaluates whether changes in the key assumptions used to determine the BESP will have a significant effect on the allocation of arrangement consideration between multiple deliverables.
 
Up-Front License Fees
 
Up-front payments received in connection with licenses of the Company’s technology rights are deferred if facts and circumstances dictate that the license does not have stand-alone value. When management believes the license to its intellectual property does not have stand-alone value from the other deliverables to be provided in the arrangement, it is combined with other deliverables and the revenue of the combined unit of accounting is recorded based on the method appropriate for the last delivered item. The Company recognizes revenue from non-refundable, up-front license fees either when the final deliverable is delivered to the customer or on a straight-line basis over the contracted or estimated period of performance if there are multiple deliverables that are satisfied over time. Accordingly, the Company is required to make estimates regarding the development timelines for product candidates being developed pursuant to any applicable agreement. The determination of the length of the period over which to recognize the revenue is subject to judgment and estimation and can have an impact on the amount of revenue recognized in a given period. Quarterly, the Company reassesses its period of substantial involvement over which the Company amortizes its up-front license fees and makes adjustments as appropriate. The Company’s estimates regarding the period of performance under its collaborative research and development and licensing agreements have changed in the past and may change in the future. Any change in the Company’s estimates could result in changes to the Company’s results for the period over which the revenues from an up-front license fee are recognized.
 
Milestones
 
At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is substantive, in accordance with ASU No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method. A milestone is defined as an event that can only be achieved based on the Company’s performance, and there is substantive uncertainty about whether the event will be achieved at the inception of the arrangement. Events that are contingent only on the passage of time or only on counterparty performance are not considered milestones under accounting guidance. This evaluation includes an assessment of whether (a) the consideration is commensurate with either (1) the Company’s performance to achieve the milestone, or (2) the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the Company’s performance to achieve the milestone, (b) the consideration relates solely to past performance, (c) the consideration is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms within the arrangement and (d) the milestone fee is refundable or adjusts based on future performance or non-performance. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the respective milestone, the level of effort and investment required to achieve

the respective milestone and whether the milestone consideration is reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement in making this assessment. Payments that are contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone are recognized in their entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Sales-based and commercial milestones are accounted for as royalties and are recorded as revenue upon achievement of the milestone, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
 
Profit Share on Sandoz’ Sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and GLATOPA ® 20 mg/mL
 
Profit share revenue is reported as product revenue and is recognized based upon contractual profit of licensed products in licensed territories in the period the sales occur as provided by the collaboration agreement. The amount of net sales and contractual profit is determined based on amounts provided by the collaborator and involve the use of estimates and judgments, such as product sales allowances and accruals related to prompt payment discounts, chargebacks, governmental and other rebates, distributor, wholesaler and group purchasing organizations fees, product returns, and co-payment assistance costs, which could be adjusted based on actual results in the future. The Company is highly dependent on Sandoz for timely and accurate information regarding any net revenues realized from sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and GLATOPA in order to accurately report its results of operations.

Collaboration Costs and Reimbursements

Under its collaborations, the Company incurs employee expenses as well as external costs for development and commercial activities, presented as operating expenses. Reimbursements of those costs under the Company’s collaboration arrangements may be presented as revenue or a reduction of operating expenses, depending on the nature of responsibilities of each party under the collaboration.

Under the Company’s collaboration with Mylan, because the collaboration arrangement is a cost sharing arrangement with shared responsibilities, reimbursement by Mylan for its share of the development effort is presented as a reduction of operating expense. Similarly, amounts owed to Mylan to reimburse them for the Company’s share of their costs incurred are recorded as an operating expense.

Under the Company’s collaborations with Sandoz, since the Company contracts directly with, manages the work of and is responsible for payments to third-party vendors for services the Company is obligated to provide to Sandoz, the reimbursements for such services are recorded as revenues on a gross basis. Revenues are recognized upon completion of the services.

Under the Company’s collaboration with CSL, since the Company contracts directly with, manages the work of and is responsible for payments to third-party vendors for services the Company is obligated to provide to CSL, the reimbursements for such services are recorded as revenues on a gross basis. Revenues are recognized upon completion of the services performed. Under the arrangement, the Company incurs certain reimbursable materials costs on CSL's behalf, which are netted against research and development expense.  

Collaboration Receivable
 
Collaboration receivable represents:
 
Amounts due to the Company for its contractual profit share on Sandoz’ sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and GLATOPA 20 mg/mL;

Amounts due to the Company for reimbursement of research and development services and certain external costs under the collaborations with Sandoz and CSL, and, where applicable, the former collaboration with Baxalta;

Amounts due from Mylan for its 50% share of certain collaboration expenses under the cost-sharing provisions of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement that are not funded through the continuation payments; and

As of December 31, 2016 , the $51.2 million asset return payment due from Baxalta, as discussed in Note 5, " Collaboration and License Agreements. " In January 2017, the Company received the $51.2 million payment from Baxalta.
 

9


The Company has not recorded any allowance for uncollectible accounts or bad debt write-offs and it monitors its receivables to facilitate timely payment.

Collaboration Advance

Collaboration advance represents payments received from Mylan that will be applied to amounts due from Mylan in future periods for the funding of Mylan's 50% share of certain collaboration expenses under the cost-sharing provisions of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement.
 
Deferred Revenue
 
Deferred revenue represents consideration received from collaborators in advance of achieving certain criteria that must be met for revenue to be recognized in conformity with GAAP.
 
Adoption of ASU No. 2016-09

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting and made an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for award forfeitures as they occur. As a result, the Company recorded a cumulative opening adjustment to accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital of $0.8 million . The amended guidance also eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized as a reduction in current taxes payable before the associated tax benefit can be recognized in additional paid-in capital. This created approximately $5.3 million of deferred tax assets relating to federal and state net operating losses that are fully offset by a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance. As a result, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit.

Net Loss Per Common Share
 
The Company computes basic net loss per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, which includes common stock issued and outstanding and excludes unvested shares of restricted stock awards and units. The Company computes diluted net loss per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potential shares from outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock awards and units determined by applying the treasury stock method.
 
The following table presents anti-dilutive shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Since the Company had a net loss for all periods presented, the effect of all potentially dilutive securities is anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share is the same for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 . Anti-dilutive shares comprise the impact of the number of shares that would have been dilutive had the Company had net income plus the number of common stock equivalents that would be anti-dilutive had the Company had net income. Furthermore, approximately 1.3 million of performance-based restricted common stock awards that were granted between April 2016 and June 30, 2017 had not vested as of June 30, 2017 , and were excluded from diluted shares outstanding as the vesting conditions for the awards, discussed further in Note 6 “ Share-Based Payments -- Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units ,” had not been met as of June 30, 2017 .
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
The tables below present information about the Company’s assets that are regularly measured and carried at fair value as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , and indicate the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

The Company held $29.0 million and $24.0 million in overnight repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The instruments are classified as Level 2 due to the collateral including both U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities and treasury instruments.

There have been no impairments of the Company’s assets measured and carried at fair value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 . In addition, there were no changes in valuation techniques or transfers between the fair value measurement levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . The fair value of Level 2 instruments classified as marketable securities were determined through third party pricing services. For a description of the Company’s validation procedures related to prices provided by third party pricing services, refer to Note 2 “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- Fair Value Measurements ” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The carrying amounts reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for cash, collaboration receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
 
The Company’s cash equivalents are composed of money market funds and overnight repurchase agreements. Money market funds are carried at fair value, which approximate cost at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Overnight repurchase agreement yields are comparable to money market funds where principal and interest on the instruments is due the next day.

The Company classifies corporate debt securities, commercial paper and asset-backed securities as short-term and long-term marketable securities in its consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies --

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company held 59 and 31 marketable securities, respectively, that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than one year. As the unrealized losses on these securities were caused by fluctuations in interest rates, the Company concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment exists with respect to these securities. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , there were no securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than one year.  The Company believes the unrealized losses were caused by fluctuations in interest rates.
 
The following table summarizes the aggregate fair value of these securities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Treasury Stock
 
Treasury stock represents common stock currently owned by the Company as a result of shares withheld from the vesting of performance-based restricted common stock to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net (loss) income and the change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the period. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists entirely of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities for all periods presented.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB has subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU 2014-09, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2018:

In August 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date.

In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations.

In April 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies certain aspects of identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance.

In May 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes collected from customers.

In December 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends certain narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU No. 2014-09 including guidance related to the disclosure of remaining performance obligations and prior-period performance obligations, as well as other amendments to the guidance on loan guarantee fees, contract costs, refund liabilities, advertising costs and the clarification of certain examples.


13


The Company expects to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method as permissible under the transitional provisions of Topic 606 for all contracts not yet completed as of the effective date. The modified retrospective method applies the guidance retrospectively only to the most current period presented in the financial statements, recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or deficit) at the date of initial application. The Company continues to progress its analysis of its arrangements with Sandoz, Mylan and CSL under the new accounting standard. As of June 30, 2017, the Company is unable to estimate the expected financial statement impact of applying the new standard to these arrangements. During the second half of 2017, the Company plans to finalize its analysis to determine the impact this standard may have on its results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial position and results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which simplifies certain elements of cash flow classification. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, or ASU 2016-18. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require an entity to reconcile and explain the period-over-period change in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within its statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity must apply the amendments in ASU 2016-18 using a full retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amended guidance related to business combinations. The amended guidance clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2017 and will apply this new guidance to any future acquisitions.  

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting or ASU 2017-09. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 introduces guidance that an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified and if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company early adopted this new guidance as of July 1, 2017 and has applied this new guidance prospectively to any modifications to share-based payment awards.

3. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist solely of the core developed technology assets acquired from Parivid. See Note 6 “ Intangible Assets ” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a discussion of the Parivid agreement.

The intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL of approximately six years through June 2021. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, were as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense was approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Amortization expense was approximately $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.  
The Company expects to incur amortization expense of approximately $1.2 million per year for the next four years.  
4. Restricted Cash  
The Company designated $17.5 million as collateral for a security bond posted in the litigation against Amphastar and International Medical Systems, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Additional information regarding the litigation is discussed within Note 8 " Commitments and Contingencies ." The $17.5 million is held in an escrow account by Hanover Insurance. The Company classified this restricted cash as long-term as the timing of a final decision in the Enoxaparin Sodium Injection patent litigation is not known.
The Company designated $2.4 million as collateral for a letter of credit related to the lease of office and laboratory space located at 675 West Kendall Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This balance will remain restricted through April 2018 and is therefore classified as current in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company will earn interest on the balance.
The Company designated $0.7 million as collateral for a letter of credit related to the lease of office and laboratory space located at 320 Bent Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This balance will remain restricted through February 2027 and is therefore classified as non-current in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company will earn interest on the balance.
The Company designated $1.1 million as collateral for a letter of credit related to the lease of office and laboratory space located on the fifth floor of 301 Binney Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This balance will remain restricted through June 2025 and is therefore classified as non-current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company will earn interest on the balance.
5. Collaboration and License Agreements
 
At June 30, 2017 , the Company had collaboration and license agreements with Sandoz, Sandoz AG, Mylan and CSL. M923, the Company's biosimilar HUMIRA ® (adalimumab) candidate, was previously developed in collaboration with Baxalta under the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, as defined below. The Baxalta Collaboration Agreement was terminated effective December 31, 2016 .
 
The Company records product revenue based on Sandoz’ sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and GLATOPA 20 mg/mL.
 
Research and development revenue generally consists of amounts earned by the Company under its collaborations for technical development, regulatory and commercial milestones; reimbursement of research and development services and reimbursement of development costs under its collaborative arrangements; and recognition of the arrangement consideration.
 
The collaboration with Mylan is a cost-sharing arrangement pursuant to which reimbursement for Mylan’s 50% share of collaboration expenses is recorded as a reduction to research and development expense and general and administrative expense depending on the nature of the activities.
 
The Company is also reimbursed for certain costs under the arrangement with CSL, and such amounts are also recorded as revenue or reductions to research and development expense and general and administrative expense depending on the nature of the activities.

The following tables provide amounts by period indicated and by line item included in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss attributable to transactions arising from its significant collaborative arrangements and all other arrangements, as defined in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements.

15



The amounts in operating expenses generally represent external expenditures, including amortization of an intangible asset, and exclude salaries and benefits, share-based compensation, facilities, depreciation and laboratory supplies, as the majority of such costs are not directly charged to programs. The dollar amounts in the tables below are in thousands.

The Mylan Collaboration Agreement, as defined below, became effective on February 9, 2016. As a result of the cost-sharing provisions of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, the Company offset approximately $6.8 million and $8.4 million , respectively, against research and development costs and $0.5 million and $0.5 million , respectively, against general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 . During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 , the Company offset approximately $12.3 million and $12.1 million , respectively, against research and development costs and $0.6 million and $0.6 million , respectively, against general and administrative expenses.
(2)
The CSL License Agreement, as defined below, became effective on February 17, 2017. Research and development expenses were reduced by $3.5 million of reimbursable M230 material costs incurred since February 17, 2017.
(3)
The Baxalta Collaboration Agreement was terminated effective December 31, 2016 .

2003 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement
 
In 2003, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement, or the 2003 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement, with Sandoz to jointly develop, manufacture and commercialize Enoxaparin Sodium Injection, a generic version of

17


LOVENOX ® , in the United States. Under the terms of the 2003 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement, the Company and Sandoz agreed to exclusively work with each other to develop and commercialize Enoxaparin Sodium Injection for any and all medical indications within the United States. In addition, the Company granted Sandoz an exclusive license under its intellectual property rights to develop and commercialize injectable enoxaparin for all medical indications within the United States.
 
Sandoz began selling Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in July 2010. In June 2015, the Company and Sandoz amended the 2003 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement, effective April 1, 2015, to provide that Sandoz would pay the Company 50% of contractually defined profits on sales. Due to increased generic competition and resulting decreased market pricing for generic enoxaparin sodium injection products, Sandoz did not record any profit on sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , and therefore the Company recorded no product revenue for Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in those periods. The Company recognized research and development revenue from full-time equivalent, or FTE, services and external costs of $1.8 million and $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The Company recognized research and development revenue from FTE services and external costs of $2.8 million and $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement
 
In 2006 and 2007, the Company entered into a series of agreements, including a collaboration and license agreement, as amended, or the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement, with Sandoz AG. Under the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement, the Company and Sandoz AG agreed to exclusively collaborate on the development and commercialization of GLATOPA, among other products. Costs, including development costs and the costs of clinical studies, will be borne by the parties in varying proportions depending on the type of expense. For GLATOPA, the Company is generally responsible for all of the development costs in the United States. For GLATOPA outside of the United States, the Company shares development costs in proportion to its profit sharing interest. The Company is reimbursed at a contractual FTE rate for any FTE employee expenses as well as any external costs incurred in the development of products to the extent development costs are borne by Sandoz. All commercialization costs are borne by Sandoz.

The term of the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement extends throughout the development and commercialization of the products until the last sale of the products, unless earlier terminated by either party pursuant to the provisions of the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement. The 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement may be terminated if either party breaches the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement or files for bankruptcy. In addition, either the Company or Sandoz may terminate the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement with respect to GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, if clinical trials are required for regulatory approval of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL.
 
Sandoz commenced sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL in the United States on June 18, 2015. Under the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement, the Company earns 50% of contractually defined profits on Sandoz’ worldwide net sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. The Company is entitled to earn 50% of contractually defined profits on Sandoz’ worldwide net sales of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, if and when GLATOPA 40 mg/mL is commercialized. Profits on net sales of GLATOPA are calculated by deducting from net sales the costs of goods sold and an allowance for selling, general and administrative costs, which is a contractual percentage of net sales. With respect to GLATOPA, Sandoz is responsible for funding all of the legal expenses incurred under the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement, except for FTE costs with respect to certain legal activities for GLATOPA; however a portion of certain legal expenses, including any patent infringement damages, can be offset against the profit-sharing amounts in proportion to the Company's 50% profit sharing interest.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded $19.1 million in product revenues from Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded $42.5 million in product revenues from Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. The Company recognized research and development revenue from FTE services and external costs of $0.5 million and $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The Company recognized research and development revenue from FTE services and external costs of $1.0 million and $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. On July 1, 2017, the Company earned a $10 million milestone payment in connection with GLATOPA 20 mg/mL's continuing to be the sole FDA-approved generic of COPAXONE ® (glatiramer acetate injection) and achieving a certain level of contractually defined profits in the United States The Company is eligible to receive in the aggregate up to $110 million in additional milestone payments upon the achievement of certain commercial and sales-based milestones for GLATOPA in the United States. None of these payments, once received, is refundable and there are no general rights of return in the arrangement. Sandoz AG has agreed to indemnify the Company for various claims, and a certain portion of such costs may be offset against certain future payments received by the Company.
 
Baxalta Collaboration Agreement  


18


The Company and Baxter International, Inc., Baxter Healthcare Corporation and Baxter Healthcare SA (or collectively referred to as Baxter) entered into a global collaboration and license agreement, or the Baxter Collaboration Agreement, effective February 2012, to develop and commercialize biosimilars, including M923. In connection with Baxter's internal corporate restructuring in July 2015, Baxter assigned the Baxter Collaboration Agreement to Baxalta U.S. Inc., Baxalta GmbH and Baxalta Incorporated, collectively referred to as Baxalta. Subsequent to the assignment, the Company refers to "Baxter" as "Baxalta" and the "Baxter Collaboration Agreement" as the "Baxalta Collaboration Agreement." On June 3, 2016, Baxalta Incorporated and Shire plc, or Shire, announced the completion of the combination of Baxalta Incorporated and Shire. As a result of the combination, Baxalta Incorporated, of which Baxalta US Inc. and Baxalta GmbH are wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shire. On September 27, 2016, Baxalta gave the Company twelve months ’ prior written notice of the exercise of its right to terminate for its convenience the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement. On December 31, 2016 , the Company and Baxalta entered into an asset return and termination agreement, or the Baxalta Termination Agreement, which amended certain termination provisions of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement and made the termination of that agreement effective as of December 31, 2016 . Baxalta was relieved of its obligations to continue to perform activities for M923 after December 31, 2016 , except for certain on-going clinical and regulatory activities, the majority of which have been completed, and in January 2017, Baxalta paid the Company a one-time cash payment of $51.2 million representing the costs Baxalta would have incurred in performing the activities it would have performed under Baxalta Collaboration Agreement through the original termination date.

Mylan Collaboration Agreement
 
On January 8, 2016, the Company and Mylan entered into a collaboration agreement, or the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, which became effective on February 9, 2016, pursuant to which the Company and Mylan agreed to collaborate exclusively, on a worldwide basis, to develop, manufacture and commercialize six of the Company’s biosimilar candidates, including M834.

Under the terms of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, Mylan paid the Company a non-refundable upfront payment of $45 million . In addition, the Company and Mylan equally share costs (including development, manufacturing, commercialization and certain legal expenses) and profits (losses) with respect to such product candidates, with Mylan funding its share of collaboration expenses incurred by the Company, in part, through up to six contingent milestone payments, totaling up to $200 million across the six product candidates, two of which, totaling $60 million , the Company received in the year ended December 31, 2016 .
 
For each product candidate other than M834, at a specified stage of early development, the Company and Mylan will each decide, based on the product candidate’s development progress and commercial considerations, whether to continue the development, manufacture and commercialization of such product candidate under the collaboration or to terminate the collaboration with respect to such product candidate.
 
Under the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted Mylan an exclusive license under the Company’s intellectual property rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize the product candidates for all therapeutic indications, and Mylan granted the Company a co-exclusive license under Mylan’s intellectual property rights for the Company to perform its development and manufacturing activities under the product work plans agreed by the parties, and to perform certain commercialization activities to be agreed by the joint steering committee for such product candidates if the Company exercises its co-commercialization option described below. The Company and Mylan established a joint steering committee consisting of an equal number of members from the Company and Mylan to oversee and manage the development, manufacture and commercialization of product candidates under the collaboration. Unless otherwise determined by the joint steering committee, it is anticipated that, in collaboration with the other party, (a) the Company will be primarily responsible for nonclinical development activities and initial clinical development activities for product candidates; additional (pivotal or Phase 3 equivalent) clinical development activities for M834; and regulatory activities for product candidates in the United States through regulatory approval; and (b) Mylan will be primarily responsible for additional (pivotal or Phase 3 equivalent) clinical development activities for product candidates other than M834; regulatory activities for the product candidates outside the United States; and regulatory activities for products in the United States after regulatory approval, when all marketing authorizations for the products in the United States will be transferred to Mylan. Mylan will commercialize any approved products, with the Company having an option to co-commercialize, in a supporting commercial role, any approved products in the United States. The joint steering committee is responsible for allocating responsibilities for other activities under the collaboration.
 
The term of the collaboration will continue throughout the development and commercialization of the product candidates, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, until development and commercialization by or on behalf of the Company and Mylan pursuant to the Mylan Collaboration Agreement has ceased for a continuous period of two years for a

19


given product candidate in a given country, unless earlier terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement.
 
The Mylan Collaboration Agreement may be terminated by either party for breach by, or bankruptcy of, the other party; for its convenience; or for certain activities involving competing products or the challenge of certain patents. Other than in the case of a termination for convenience, the terminating party will have the right to continue the development, manufacture and commercialization of the terminated products in the terminated countries. In the case of a termination for convenience, the other party will have the right to continue. If a termination occurs, the licenses granted to the non-continuing party for the applicable product will terminate for the terminated country. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the party that has the right to continue the development or commercialization of a given product candidate may retain royalty-bearing licenses to certain intellectual property rights, and rights to certain data, for the continued development and sale of the applicable product in the country or countries for which termination applies.
 
In accordance with Topic 605, the Company identified the deliverables at the inception of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement. The deliverables were determined to include (i) six development and product licenses, for each of M834 and the five additional collaboration products, (ii) research and development services related to each of M834 and the five additional collaboration products and (iii) the Company’s participation in the joint steering committee. The Company has determined that each of the license deliverables does not have stand-alone value apart from the related research and development services deliverables because (1) there are no other vendors selling similar, competing products on a stand-alone basis, (2) Mylan does not have the contractual right to resell the license, and (3) Mylan is unable to use the license for its intended purpose without the Company’s performance of research and development services. As such, the Company determined that with respect to this arrangement, separate units of accounting exist for each of the six licenses together with the related research and development services, or the combined units of accounting, as well as a separate unit of accounting for participation in the joint steering committee. VSOE and TPE were not available for the combined units of accounting. As such, the Company determined BESP for the combined units of accounting based on an analysis of its existing license arrangements and other available data and the nature and extent of the research and development services to be performed. BESP for the joint steering committee unit of accounting was based on market rates for similar services. At the inception of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, total arrangement consideration of $45 million was allocated to each of the units of accounting based on the relative selling price method. Of the $45 million , $8.2 million was allocated to the M834 combined unit of accounting, between $5.7 million and $9.0 million to the five additional combined units of accounting, considering the products’ stage of development at the time the licenses were delivered, and $51,000 was allocated to the joint steering committee unit of accounting. Changes in the key assumptions used to determine BESP for the units of accounting would not have a significant effect on the allocation of arrangement consideration.
 
At the inception of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, the Company delivered development and product licenses for all six collaboration products and commenced revenue recognition of the arrangement consideration allocated the respective units of accounting. In addition, the Company began revenue recognition for the arrangement consideration allocated to the joint steering committee unit of accounting. The Company is recording revenue associated with the upfront payment on a straight-line basis over the applicable performance period during which the research and development services are expected to be delivered, which begins upon delivery of the development and product license and ends upon FDA approval of the product. The Company currently estimates that the performance period for the M834 unit of accounting is approximately five years , an average of approximately seven years for the additional five combined units of accounting and approximately eight years for the joint steering committee unit of accounting. As of June 30, 2017 , $35.5 million was deferred under this agreement, of which $4.7 million was included in current liabilities and $30.8 million was included in non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
The Company and Mylan share collaboration expenses under the Mylan Collaboration Agreement. Collaboration costs incurred by the Company are recorded as research and development expense and/or general and administrative expense, depending on the nature of the activities, as incurred. Mylan's share of collaboration expenses is recorded as a collaboration receivable or collaboration advance in the consolidated balance sheet and a reduction in research and development and/or general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, in accordance with the Company’s policy, which is consistent with the nature of the cost reimbursement.
 
Mylan will initially fund a portion of its 50% share of collaboration expenses through contingent milestone payments of up to $200 million across the six product candidates and any unused portion of the contingent payment(s) will be available to offset Mylan’s 50% share of future collaboration costs. If in a given year a contingent payment is not expected to be made by Mylan and there is no balance available from a prior contingent payment balance as of the beginning of the collaboration year, the parties will reconcile total collaboration expenses on a semi-annual basis and Mylan will make a payment to the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company received two milestone payments totaling $60 million , of which

20


$20.4 million will be applied toward the funding of Mylan's 50% share of certain collaboration expenses to be incurred in 2017 and is included in collaboration advance in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company is eligible to receive up to $140 million in additional contingent milestone payments from Mylan, of which the Company expects to receive $35 million in the next 12 months.

CSL License and Option Agreement

On January 5, 2017, the Company and CSL Behring Recombinant Facility AG, or CSL, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of CSL Limited, entered into a License and Option Agreement, or the CSL License Agreement, which became effective on February 17, 2017, pursuant to which the Company granted CSL an exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, and commercialize the Company’s M230 pre-clinical product candidate, an Fc multimer protein that is a selective immunomodulator of the Fc receptor. The CSL License Agreement also provides, on an exclusive basis, for the Company and CSL to conduct research on other Fc multimer proteins, and provides CSL the right to develop and commercialize these additional research products globally.

Pursuant to the terms of the CSL License Agreement, CSL paid the Company a non-refundable upfront payment of $50 million . For the development and commercialization of M230, the Company is eligible to receive up to $ 550 million in contingent clinical, regulatory and sales milestone payments, and additional negotiated milestone payments for a named research stage product should that enter development. The Company is also entitled to sales-based royalty payments in percentages ranging from a mid-single digit to low-double digits for M230 and a named research stage product should that enter development and be commercialized, and royalties and development milestone payments to be negotiated for any other products developed under the CSL License Agreement. Sales milestones are based on aggregated sales across M230 and any other products developed under the CSL License Agreement. The Company also has the option to participate in a cost-and-profit sharing arrangement, under which the Company would fund 50% of global research and development costs and 50% of U.S. commercialization costs for all products developed pursuant to the CSL License Agreement, or the Co-Funded Products, in exchange for either a 50% share of U.S. profits or 30% share of U.S. profits, determined by the stage of development at which the Company makes such election. For Co-Funded Products, royalties remain payable for territories outside of the United States and milestone payments are reduced. The Company also has the right to opt-out of such arrangement at its sole discretion, which would result in milestone payments and royalties reverting to their pre-arrangement amounts. The Company also has the option to participate in the promotion of Co-Funded Products in the United States, subject to a co-promotion agreement to be negotiated with CSL.

Under the CSL License Agreement, the Company granted CSL an exclusive license under the Company’s intellectual property to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize product candidates for all therapeutic indications. CSL has granted the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license under CSL’s intellectual property for the Company’s research and development activities pursuant to the CSL License Agreement and its commercialization activities under any co-promotion agreement with CSL.

The Company and CSL formed a joint steering committee consisting of an equal number of members from the Company and CSL, to facilitate the research, development, and commercialization of product candidates.

Unless earlier terminated, the term of the CSL License Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until the later of (i) the expiration of all payment obligations with respect to products under the CSL License Agreement, (ii) the Company is no longer co-funding development or commercialization of any products and (iii) the Company and CSL are not otherwise collaborating on the development and commercialization of products or product candidates. CSL may terminate the CSL License Agreement on a product-by-product basis subject to notice periods and certain circumstances related to clinical development. The Company may terminate the CSL License Agreement under certain circumstances related to the development of M230 and if no activities are being conducted under the CSL License Agreement. Either party may terminate the CSL License Agreement (i) on a product-by-product basis if certain patent challenges are made, (ii) on a product-by-product basis for material breaches, or (iii) due to the other party’s bankruptcy. Upon termination of the CSL License Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the licenses granted under the CSL License Agreement terminate. In addition, dependent upon the circumstances under which the CSL License Agreement is terminated, the Company or CSL has the right to continue the research, development, and commercialization of terminated products, including rights to certain data, for the continued development and sale of terminated products and, subject to certain limitations, obligations to make sales-based royalty payments to the other party.

CSL's obligations under the CSL License Agreement are guaranteed by its parent company, CSL Limited.


21


The Company identified the deliverables at the inception of the CSL License Agreement. The deliverables were determined to include (i) the M230 research, development, manufacturing and commercialization license, (ii) the research license for other Fc multimer proteins and (iii) the Company's responsibility to transfer the technology package relating to M230 to CSL. The best estimate of the selling price associated with the Company's participation on the joint steering committee was deemed to be de minimis, and therefore was not evaluated further. The Company determined that the M230 research, development, manufacturing and commercialization license does not have stand-alone value separate and apart from the Company's responsibility to transfer the M230 technology package to CSL because (1) there are no other vendors selling similar licenses on a stand-alone basis, (2) CSL does not have the contractual right to resell the license or the transferred technology, and (3) CSL is unable to use the license for its intended purpose without the technology transfer. In addition, the Company determined that the research license does not have stand-alone value. As such, the Company determined that there is one unit of accounting. The total arrangement consideration of $50 million was allocated to the single unit of accounting and will be recognized as revenue once the technology transfer is completed, which is the final item to be delivered in the unit of accounting. The technology transfer is expected to be completed by the end of 2017 . As of June 30, 2017 , $50 million was included in deferred revenue under the CSL License Agreement and was classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognized research and development revenue from full-time equivalent, or FTE, services and external costs of $0.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 .
 
6. Share-Based Payments

Equity Award Plans

On March 14, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2013 Incentive Award Plan, or the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, subject to and effective upon stockholder approval. At the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on June 20, 2017, stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, among other things, increases the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan by 4,300,000 shares.

On March 14, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the Amended and Restated ESPP, subject to and effective upon stockholder approval. Stockholders approved the Amended and Restated ESPP at the 2017 Annual Meeting. The Amended and Restated ESPP increases the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP by 1,400,000 shares.

Equity Award Retirement Policy

In December 2016 , the Company's board of directors adopted the Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Equity Award Retirement Policy, or the Retirement Policy, to provide for the treatment of time-based options and restricted stock units upon a participant’s qualifying retirement from the Company, allowing employees until January 11, 2017 to opt-out of a modification to certain of their outstanding grants of incentive stock options. Under the Retirement Policy, following the qualifying retirement of any employee of the Company or non-employee member of the board of directors, the participant’s then-outstanding time-based options and restricted stock units will continue to vest during the one year period following the retirement date. In addition, the participant will have until the first anniversary of the retirement date (or 90 days following the date an option becomes first exercisable if such date is within the 90 days preceding the first anniversary of the retirement date) to exercise any vested options, except that no option may be exercised following the date upon which it would have expired under the applicable option award agreement if the participant had remained in service with the Company.

For those employees who did not opt out, the Retirement Policy amended the terms of existing grants of time-based options effective January 11, 2017; therefore, in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $0.4 million related to the modification of those options, of which $0.3 million was included in the general administrative expense and $0.1 million was included in research and development expense.

At June 30, 2017 , the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested option awards amounted to $21.6 million , which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of 2.7 years .
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company issued 57,007 shares of common stock to employees under the employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP, resulting in proceeds of approximately $0.5 million .
 
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

23


 
The Company has granted time-based restricted stock and restricted stock units to its employees, officers and board members and performance-based restricted stock to its employees and officers.

Since April 2016, the Company awarded 1,728,495 shares of performance-based restricted stock to employees and officers. The vesting of the shares is subject to the Company achieving up to two of three possible performance milestones on or before April 13, 2019. Upon achieving each of the first and second milestones, 25% of the shares will vest on the later of the milestone achievement date and the first anniversary of the grant date, and an additional 25% of the shares will vest on the one year anniversary of such achievement date, subject to a requirement that recipients remain employees through each applicable vesting date. Each quarter, the Company evaluates the probability of achieving the milestones on or before April 13, 2019, and its estimate of the implicit service period over which the fair value of the awards will be recognized and expensed. As a result of discontinuing its necuparanib program in the third quarter of 2016 , the Company determined that only two of the three performance milestones are possible to achieve prior to April 13, 2019. The Company has determined that attainment of the remaining performance conditions is probable and is expensing the fair value of the shares over the implicit service period using the accelerated attribution method. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million and $3.5 million of stock compensation costs related to these awards, respectively.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company awarded 519,753 shares of time-based restricted stock units to its employees. The time-based restricted stock units vest as to 25% on the one year anniversary of the grant date and as to 6.25% quarterly over three years that follow the grant date. Time-based awards are generally forfeited if the employment relationship terminates with the Company prior to vesting, except as provided in the Retirement Policy.

As of June 30, 2017 , the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to all nonvested time-based restricted stock and restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock awards amounted to $18.4 million , which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately 2.5 years.
 
The following table summarizes restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity as of June 30, 2017 and the changes during the six months ended June 30, 2017 under the Company’s 2013 Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

7. Equity Financings
 
In April 2015, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement, or the 2015 ATM Agreement, with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, or Stifel, under which the Company was authorized to issue and sell shares of its common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $75 million from time to time through Stifel, acting as sales agent and/or principal. The Company was required to pay Stifel a commission of 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock under the 2015 ATM Agreement. From April 2015 through December 2015, the Company sold approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock under the 2015 ATM Agreement pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-188227) previously filed with the SEC and a related prospectus supplement, and raised

24


net proceeds of approximately $9.3 million . In the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company sold approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement (Reg. No. 333-209813) and a related prospectus supplement, raising net proceeds of $64.1 million , and concluded sales under the 2015 ATM Agreement.

  Legal Contingencies  

The Company is involved in various litigation matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The process of resolving matters through litigation or other means is inherently uncertain and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters will adversely affect the Company, its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The Company's general practice is to expense legal fees as services are rendered in connection with legal matters, and to accrue for liabilities when losses are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of any accrual on its consolidated balance sheets.

GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-Related Litigation

On September 10, 2014, Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and related entities, or Teva, and Yeda Research and Development Co., Ltd., or Yeda, filed a suit against the Company and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in response to the filing by Sandoz Inc. of the ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL. The suit initially alleged infringement related to two Orange Book-listed patents for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, each expiring in 2030, and sought declaratory and injunctive relief prohibiting the launch of the Company's product until the last to expire of these patents. In April 2015, Teva and Yeda filed an additional suit against the Company and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement related to a third Orange Book-listed patent for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, which issued in March 2015 and expires in 2030. In May 2015, this suit was consolidated with the initial suit that was filed in September 2014. In November 2015, Teva and Yeda filed a suit against the Company and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement related to a fourth Orange Book-listed patent for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, which issued in October 2015 and expires in 2030. In December 2015, this suit was also consolidated with the initial suit that was filed in September 2014. Teva and Yeda seek declaratory and injunctive relief prohibiting the launch of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL until the expiration of the patents at issue. On January 30, 2017, the District Court found the four patents to be invalid due to obviousness. On February 2, 2017, Teva and Yeda filed a notice of appeal of the District Court's January 30, 2017 decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

On December 19, 2016, Teva and Yeda filed suit against the Company and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware again in response to the filing by Sandoz Inc. of the ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, for alleged infringement of an Orange Book-listed patent for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, U.S. Patent No. 9,402,874. On May 1, 2017, the District Court entered the joint stipulation filed by the parties, dismissing the case pertaining to U.S. Patent No. 9,402,874.


25


On January 31, 2017, Teva filed a suit against the Company and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging infringement related to an additional patent for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, U.S. Patent No. 9,155,775, which issued in October 2015 and expires in October 2035. The Company and Sandoz Inc. filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to transfer the suit to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. On January 31, 2017, Teva voluntarily dismissed the Company from the New Jersey suit for U.S. Patent No. 9,155,775, maintaining the suit against Sandoz Inc. On May 23, 2017, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the motion to transfer the suit to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

On February 2, 2017, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaration that U.S. Patent No. 9,155,775 is invalid, not infringed or not enforceable against the Company. In March 2017, Teva filed a motion, which is currently pending, to stay further proceedings in the Delaware action.

Enoxaparin Sodium Injection-related Litigation

On September 21, 2011, the Company and Sandoz Inc. sued Amphastar and Actavis in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts for patent infringement. Also in September 2011, the Company filed a request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to prevent Amphastar and Actavis from selling their Enoxaparin product in the United States. In October 2011, the District Court granted the Company's motion for a preliminary injunction and entered an order enjoining Amphastar and Actavis from advertising, offering for sale or selling their Enoxaparin product in the United States until the conclusion of a trial on the merits and required the Company and Sandoz Inc. to post a security bond of $100 million in connection with the litigation. Amphastar and Actavis appealed the decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, or CAFC, and in January 2012, the CAFC stayed the preliminary injunction. In August 2012, the CAFC vacated the preliminary injunction and remanded the case to the District Court. In September 2012, the Company filed a petition with the CAFC for a rehearing by the full court en banc , which was denied. In February 2013, the Company filed a petition for a writ of certiorari for review of the CAFC decision by the United States Supreme Court which was denied in June 2013.

In July 2013, the District Court granted a motion by Amphastar and Actavis for summary judgment. The Company filed a notice of appeal of that decision to the CAFC. In February 2014, Amphastar filed a motion to the CAFC for summary affirmance of the District Court ruling, which the CAFC denied in May 2014. On November 10, 2015, the CAFC affirmed the District Court summary judgment decision with respect to Actavis, reversed the District Court summary judgment decision with respect to Amphastar, and remanded the case against Amphastar to the District Court. On January 11, 2016, Amphastar filed a petition for rehearing by the CAFC, which was denied on February 17, 2016. On May 17, 2016, Amphastar filed a petition for writ of certiorari for review of the CAFC decision by the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on October 3, 2016. In April 2017, the Company, Sandoz Inc. and Actavis, or the Settling Parties, settled and signed reciprocal releases of all claims, and filed a voluntary stipulation with the District Court, pursuant to which the Settling Parties stipulated and agreed to dismiss with prejudice all claims and counterclaims among the Settling Parties, without fees or costs to any party, and with the Settling Parties waiving any and all right of appeal. The District Court trial was held in July 2017, and the jury verdict found the Company's patent to be infringed, but invalid and unenforceable. The Company and Sandoz Inc. are considering all available legal options to overturn the portions of the verdict finding the Company's patent to be invalid and unenforceable, including post-trial motions and appeals. In the event that the Company is not successful in further prosecution or settlement of this action against Amphastar, and Amphastar is able to prove they suffered damages as a result of the preliminary injunction, the Company could be liable for damages for up to $35 million of the security bond. The Company posted $17.5 million as collateral for the security bond and classified the collateral as restricted cash in its consolidated balance sheet. Litigation involves many risks and uncertainties, and there is no assurance that the Company or Sandoz Inc. will prevail in this patent enforcement suit.

On September 17, 2015, Amphastar filed a complaint against the Company and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that, in connection with filing the September 2011 patent infringement suit against Amphastar and Actavis, the Company and Sandoz Inc. sought to prevent Amphastar from selling generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and thereby exclude competition for generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in violation of federal and California anti-trust laws and California unfair business laws. Amphastar is seeking unspecified damages and fees. In December 2015, the Company and Sandoz Inc. filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to transfer the case. In January 2016, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In February 2016, Amphastar filed a writ of mandamus with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit requesting that the court reverse and review the District Court's grant of transfer and in May 2016, the writ requested by Amphastar was denied. On July 27, 2016, the Company's and Sandoz Inc.'s motion to dismiss was granted by the District Court, and the case was dismissed. On August 25, 2016, Amphastar filed a notice of appeal from the dismissal with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Briefing was completed in December 2016, and oral argument was held on February 9, 2017. On March 6, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reversed the District Court’s dismissal and remanded the case to the District Court

26


for further proceedings. On April 6, 2017, the District Court held a scheduling conference to provide dates for the remanded case, and on April 20, 2017, the Company and Sandoz Inc. filed their renewed motion to dismiss. Trial is scheduled for April 2019.

On October 14, 2015, The Hospital Authority of Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee, d/b/a Nashville General Hospital, or NGH, filed a class action suit against the Company and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on behalf of certain purchasers of LOVENOX or generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection. The complaint alleges that, in connection with filing the September 2011 patent infringement suit against Amphastar and Actavis, the Company and Sandoz Inc. sought to prevent Amphastar from selling generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and thereby exclude competition for generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in violation of federal anti-trust laws. NGH is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement of profits and unspecified damages and fees. In December 2015, the Company and Sandoz filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. On March 21, 2017, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee dismissed NGH’s claim for damages against the Company and Sandoz, but allowed the case to move forward, in part, for NGH’s claims for injunctive and declaratory relief. In the same opinion, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee denied our motion to transfer. On June 9, 2017, NGH filed a motion to amend its complaint to add a new named plaintiff, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 37 Health & Security Plan (“DC37”). NGH and DC 37 seek to assert claims for damages under the laws of more than 30 different states, on behalf of a putative class of indirect purchasers of Lovenox or generic enoxaparin. On June 30, 2017 , the Company and Sandoz filed a brief opposing the motion to amend the complaint. The Court has not yet scheduled a hearing on the motion to amend. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes this suit is without merit, and it intends to vigorously defend itself in this litigation.

9. Subsequent Events
Milestone Payment
On July 1, 2017, the Company earned a $10 million milestone payment in connection with GLATOPA 20 mg/mL's continuing to be the sole FDA-approved generic of COPAXONE and achieving a certain level of contractually defined profits in the United States.
Lease Amendment
On July 24, 2017, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Lease, or the Fourth Amendment, with BMR-Rogers Street LLC, or BMR, which amends the Lease between Momenta and BMR, dated as of February 5, 2013, as amended. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Company will lease approximately 52,252 square feet of office space, or the Fourth Floor Binney Premises, on the fourth floor of 301 Binney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, or the Binney Building. The Fourth Amendment also amends certain of the terms and conditions of the Company's existing lease of office and laboratory space located in the basement and first and second floors of 320 Bent Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, or the Bent Premises.
The term of the lease for the Fourth Floor Binney Premises will commence on or before October 1, 2017, or the Binney Commencement Date, and will end on the date that is 126 months from the Binney Commencement Date, unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with the terms of the Fourth Amendment. The Company has an option, subject to certain terms and conditions, to extend the term of the lease for the Fourth Floor Binney Premises until June 30, 2035 . BMR has agreed to make available an approximately $5.0 million allowance for certain tenant improvements the Company is planning to make to the Fourth Floor Binney Premises.
The Company is obligated to pay rent for the Fourth Floor Binney Premises beginning six months after the Binney Commencement Date, or the Rent Commencement Date. From the Rent Commencement Date until the first anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the Company is obligated to pay a monthly base rent for the Fourth Floor Binney Premises of $0.3 million , or $73.00 per square foot. On each subsequent anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the annual base rent will increase by 3% of the then-current annual base rent. The Company is also obligated to pay certain operating expenses and a property management fee beginning on the Rent Commencement Date. Simultaneous with the execution of the Fourth Amendment, in July 2017, the Company delivered to BMR a security deposit in the form of a letter of credit in the amount of $1.3 million . This balance will remain restricted through September 2028. The Company will earn interest on the balance.
Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, BMR also agreed to make available an additional $5.2 million allowance for certain tenant improvements the Company is planning to make to the Fourth Floor Binney Premises and the Bent Premises. The base rent for the Bent Premises will be correspondingly increased, effective September 1, 2017, to include the amount of the tenant improvement allowance as amortized over the term of the lease for the Bent Premises. From September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2018, the Company's monthly base rent obligation for the Bent Premises will be $0.7 million , or $77.52 per square foot. Each

27


subsequent September 1 during the term of the lease for the Bent Premises, the Company's annual base rent for the Bent Premises will increase by approximately 2.7% of the then-current annual base rent. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company has an option to extend the term of the lease for the Bent Premises until June 30, 2035 .
In addition, under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the Company has a right of first refusal on additional space on the fourth floor of the Binney Building, and a right of first offer on additional space on the fifth floor of the Binney Building.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, such as those set forth under “Part II., Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
We are a biotechnology company focused on developing generic versions of complex drugs, biosimilars and novel therapeutics for autoimmune diseases.
 
To date, we have devoted substantially all of our capital resource expenditures to the research and development of our products and product candidates. Although we were profitable in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, since that time we have been incurring operating losses, and we expect to incur annual operating losses over the next several years as we advance our development portfolio. As of June 30, 2017 , we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $542.8 million . We will need to generate significant revenue to return to profitability. We expect that our return to profitability, if at all, will most likely come from the commercialization of the products in our development portfolio.
 
Complex Generics
 
GLATOPA ® 20 mg/mL—Generic Once-daily COPAXONE ® (glatiramer acetate injection) 20 mg/mL

On April 16, 2015, the FDA approved the ANDA for once-daily GLATOPA (glatiramer acetate injection) 20 mg/mL, a generic equivalent of once-daily COPAXONE 20 mg/mL. GLATOPA 20 mg/mL is the first "AP" rated, substitutable generic equivalent of once-daily COPAXONE. Sandoz commenced sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL on June 18, 2015. Under our collaboration agreement with Sandoz, we earn 50% of contractually defined profits on GLATOPA 20 mg/mL sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 , we recorded $19.1 million in product revenues from Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, reflecting $19.7 million in profit share net of a deduction of $0.6 million for reimbursement to Sandoz of 50% of GLATOPA-related legal expenses incurred by Sandoz. On July 1, 2017, we earned a $10 million milestone payment in connection with GLATOPA 20 mg/mL's continuing to be the sole FDA-approved generic of COPAXONE and achieving a certain level of contractually defined profits in the United States.

GLATOPA ® 40 mg/mL—Generic Three-times-weekly COPAXONE ® (glatiramer acetate injection) 40 mg/mL

An ANDA seeking approval for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, our generic version of three-times-weekly COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, was filed by our partner, Sandoz, in February 2014 and remains under review by the FDA. Our GLATOPA 40 mg/mL formulation contains the same drug substance as GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, which we believe should help streamline the FDA review of the ANDA. To date, Sandoz is the only ANDA applicant for the three-times-weekly COPAXONE 40 mg/mL with an FDA-approved active pharmaceutical ingredient. On February 17, 2017, we announced that Sandoz’ third party fill/finish manufacturing partner for GLATOPA, Pfizer Inc., received an FDA warning letter. Although the FDA warning letter does not restrict the production or shipment of the GLATOPA 20 mg/mL product that is currently marketed by Sandoz in the United States, the FDA may withhold approval of pending drug applications listing the Pfizer Inc. facility, including the ANDA for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, until satisfactory resolution of the compliance observations in the FDA warning letter. We are working with Sandoz to resolve this matter. We believe it continues to be possible for the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL ANDA to be approved in 2017 .

On January 30, 2017, the District Court for the District of Delaware found invalid four Orange Book-listed patents related to COPAXONE 40 mg/mL that we were alleged to have infringed. Three of these patents had previously been found invalid in August 2016 by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or PTAB, in an Inter Partes Review, or IPR, filed by an unrelated third party. On February 2, 2017, Teva and Yeda filed a notice of appeal of the District Court's January 30, 2017 decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This and other legal proceedings related to GLATOPA 40 mg/mL are described under "Part II., Item 1. Legal Proceedings -- GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-Related Proceedings."
Enoxaparin Sodium Injection—Generic LOVENOX ®  
Under our amended collaboration agreement with Sandoz, Sandoz is obligated to pay us 50% of contractually defined profits on sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection.
Due to increased generic competition and resulting decreased market pricing for generic enoxaparin sodium injection products, Sandoz did not record any profit on sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in the three months ended June 30, 2017 , and therefore we recorded no product revenue for Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in the same period.

Legal proceedings related to Enoxaparin Sodium Injection are described under "Part II., Item 1. Legal Proceedings -- Enoxaparin Sodium Injection-Related Proceedings."

Biosimilars
 
M923—Biosimilar HUMIRA ® (adalimumab) Candidate

In November 2016, following an interim analysis, we announced that the confirmatory, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, global study evaluating the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of M923 in adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis met its primary endpoint. Patients received up to 48 weeks treatment with M923, HUMIRA, or HUMIRA alternating with M923. The proportion of subjects who achieved the primary endpoint, at least 75% reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, or PASI-75, following 16 weeks of treatment, was equivalent between M923 and HUMIRA. The estimated difference in responders was well within the pre-specified confidence interval, confirming equivalence. Equivalence was also achieved for all secondary efficacy endpoints, including the achievement of PASI-50, PASI-90, proportion achieving clear or near-clear skin, and change from baseline in absolute PASI score. Adverse events were comparable in terms of type, frequency, and severity, and were consistent with the published safety data for HUMIRA. Due to unexpectedly high enrollment rates, additional patients to those included in the interim analysis were enrolled in the study. These patients will be included in the regulatory submission.

We are working toward the first regulatory submission for marketing approval for M923 in the fourth quarter of 2017 and, subject to marketing approval and patent considerations, we believe the first commercial launch could be as early as the 2020 timeframe.
M923 was previously developed in collaboration with Baxalta. In June 2016, Baxalta became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shire plc. In September 2016, Baxalta gave us twelve months' prior written notice of the exercise of its right to terminate for its convenience our collaboration agreement. On December 31, 2016 , we and Baxalta entered into an asset return and termination agreement, or the Baxalta Termination Agreement, amending certain termination provisions of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement and making the termination of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement effective December 31, 2016 . Baxalta was relieved of its obligations to continue to perform activities for M923 after December 31, 2016 , except for certain clinical and regulatory activities, the majority of which have been completed. In January 2017, Baxalta paid us a one-time cash payment of $51.2 million , representing the costs Baxalta would have incurred in performing the activities it would have performed under the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement through the original termination effective date.
We continue to identify and evaluate potential collaboration opportunities to further develop and commercialize M923.
M834—Biosimilar ORENCIA ® (abatacept) Candidate
On January 8, 2016, we entered into a collaboration agreement, which became effective on February 9, 2016, with Mylan Ireland Limited, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Mylan N.V., or Mylan, to develop and commercialize M834. In November 2016, we initiated a randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel group, single-dose Phase 1 clinical trial in normal healthy volunteers to compare the pharmacokinetics, safety and immunogenicity of M834 to U.S.-sourced and EU-sourced ORENCIA. We plan to report top-line data from the trial in the second half of 2017 .

29

Table of Contents

We believe there is currently limited biosimilar competition for M834. Subject to development, marketing approval and patent considerations, we plan to be able to launch M834 in the 2020 timeframe to be able to be among the first biosimilars of ORENCIA on the market in the United States.
ORENCIA's composition of matter patents expire in the United States in 2019 . In December 2016, the PTAB in an IPR we filed upheld the validity of Bristol-Myers Squibb's formulation patent U.S. Patent No. 8,476,239 on ORENCIA. This proceeding is further discussed below under " Part II., Item 1. Legal Proceedings -- M834-Related Proceedings ."

Other Biosimilar Candidates

Our Mylan collaboration includes the development of five other biosimilar candidates from our portfolio in addition to M834, including our undisclosed biosimilar candidate, M710. We and Mylan are targeting the first regulatory submission for M710 clinical development in late 2017 or early 2018. We and Mylan will share equally costs and profits (losses) related to these earlier stage product candidates. We and Mylan will share development and manufacturing responsibilities across product candidates, and Mylan will lead commercialization of the products.

Novel Therapeutics

We believe our novel programs discussed below could have the potential to produce product candidates capable of treating a large number of immunological disorders driven by antibodies, immune complexes, and Fc receptor biology. Such disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune neurologic diseases such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy and myasthenia gravis, autoimmune blood disorders such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura, systemic autoimmune diseases such as dermatomyositis, lupus nephritis, and catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, antibody-mediated transplant rejection, and autoimmune blistering diseases, several of which have few treatment options.

M281 - Anti-FcRn Candidate

M281 is a fully-human monoclonal antibody that blocks the neonatal Fc receptor, or FcRn. A Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of M281 was initiated in June 2016. In January 2017, we announced that we had successfully completed the single ascending dose, or SAD, portion of the Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers. In the SAD portion of the study, M281 was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events observed. The multiple ascending dose, or MAD, portion of the Phase 1 study was initiated in January 2017. We plan to report the data from both the SAD and MAD portions of the Phase 1 study in the second half of 2017 .

M230 - Selective Immunomodulator of Fc receptors (SIF3) Candidate

M230, a selective immunomodulator of Fc receptors, or SIF3, is a novel homogenous recombinant Fc multimer containing three IgG Fc regions joined carefully to maximize activity. Nonclinical data have shown that M230 enhances the molecules' avidity and affinity for the Fc receptors matching the potency and efficacy of IVIg at significantly lower doses.

Pursuant to the License and Option Agreement with CSL, effective February 17, 2017, we have granted CSL an exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize M230. CSL plans to advance this candidate with a goal of beginning clinical development in 2017 .

M254 - hsIVIg Candidate

M254 is a hyper-sialylated version of IVIg, a therapeutic drug product that contains pooled, human immunoglobulin G, or IgG, antibodies purified from blood plasma. IVIg is used to treat several inflammatory diseases, including idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Kawasaki disease, and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Our hsIVIg product is currently in nonclinical development and has the potential to be developed as a high-potency alternative to IVIg. We plan to initiate an investigational new drug application-enabling, or IND-enabling, toxicology study in 2017 and are targeting initiating a clinical trial in 2018 . We continue to identify and explore potential collaboration opportunities to further develop and commercialize this product candidate.

Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue includes both product revenue and research and development revenue earned under our collaborative arrangements. Product revenue includes our contractually defined profits earned on Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL.

GLATOPA ® 20 mg/mL—Generic Once-daily COPAXONE ® (glatiramer acetate injection) 20 mg/mL
Sandoz commenced sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL in the United States on June 18, 2015. We earn 50% of contractually defined profits on Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. A portion of certain legal expenses for GLATOPA, including any patent infringement damages, is deducted from our profits in proportion to our 50% profit sharing interest.  
For the three months ended June 30, 2017 , we recorded $19.1 million in product revenues from Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, reflecting $19.7 million in profit share net of a deduction of $0.6 million for reimbursement to Sandoz of 50% of GLATOPA-related legal expenses incurred by Sandoz. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 , we recorded $20.7 million in product revenues from Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. The decrease in product revenues of $ 1.6 million , or 8% , from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to lower sales deductions in the second quarter of 2016 as well as reimbursement of legal expenses relating to GLATOPA in the second quarter of 2017. We estimate that the number of prescriptions for GLATOPA 20 mg/mL represents approximately 40% of the once-daily 20 mg/mL U.S. glatiramer acetate market.

Although the market potential of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL is negatively impacted by the conversion of patients from once-daily COPAXONE to three-times-weekly COPAXONE, which accounts for approximately 81% of the overall U.S. glatiramer acetate market (20 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL) based on volume prescribed, we believe there remains a meaningful market opportunity for GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. The price for once-daily COPAXONE 20 mg/mL has increased over 190% since 2009, and there is no other generic for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis currently available in the United States.
 
Research and Development Revenue
 
Research and development revenue generally consists of amounts earned by us under our collaborations for:
 
Technical development, regulatory and commercial milestones under the Sandoz collaboration and, where applicable, our former collaboration with Baxalta;
 
Reimbursement of research and development services and reimbursement of development costs under our Sandoz and CSL collaborations and, where applicable, our former collaboration with Baxalta; and
 
Recognition of upfront arrangement consideration under our Mylan and CSL collaborations and, where applicable, our former collaboration with Baxalta.
 
Research and development revenue was $4.4 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The decrease in research and development revenue of $1.3 million , or 23% , from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the termination of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, effective December 31, 2016 , under which we were previously reimbursed for M923 FTE and external costs and for which we recognized a portion of Baxalta's initial upfront payment in the three months ended June 30, 2016 , which were non-recurring in the same period in 2017 .
 
We expect to continue to recognize revenue from Mylan's $45 million upfront payment on a quarterly basis. Finally, we expect to recognize the $10 million GLATOPA 20 mg/mL milestone payment as revenue in the third quarter of 2017 and the $50 million upfront payment from CSL as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2017 .
 
Research and Development Expense
 
Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred to conduct research, such as the discovery and development of our product candidates. We recognize all research and development costs as they are incurred. We track the external research and development costs incurred for each of our product candidates. Our external research and development expenses consist primarily of:
 

31

Table of Contents

expenses incurred under agreements with consultants, third-party contract research organizations, or CROs, and investigative sites where all of our nonclinical studies and clinical trials are conducted;

costs of acquiring reference comparator materials and manufacturing nonclinical study and clinical trial supplies and other materials from contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, and related costs associated with release and stability testing; and

costs associated with process development activities.
 
Internal research and development costs are associated with activities performed by our research and development organization and are not tracked on a project-by-project basis. Internal costs consist primarily of:

personnel-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and share-based compensation; and

facilities and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements and equipment and laboratory and other supplies.

We have a collaboration agreement with Mylan pursuant to which we share research and development expenses related to the biosimilar candidates under the collaboration. We record expenses incurred under this collaboration arrangement for such work as research and development expense, based on the nature of the cost reimbursement. Because the collaboration arrangement is a cost sharing arrangement, we concluded that when there is a period during the collaboration arrangement during which we are owed payment from Mylan, we record the reimbursement by Mylan for its share of the development effort as a reduction of research and development expense. Amounts owed to Mylan are recorded as incremental research and development expense.

Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $39.1 million , compared with $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . The increase of $5.9 million , or 18% , from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to $13.0 million in increased spending on M923, as the program was transitioned back to us effective December 31, 2016 in connection with the termination of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, partially offset by a $2.2 million reduction in spend on our necuparanib program, which we discontinued in August 2016, and a $3.5 million reduction in research and development expenses for reimbursable M230 materials costs incurred under the CSL License Agreement.
 
The lengthy process of securing FDA approval for generics, biosimilars and new drugs requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals would materially adversely affect our product development efforts and our business overall. Accordingly, we cannot currently estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of time or money that we will be required to expend in the future on our product candidates prior to their regulatory approval, if such approval is ever granted. As a result of these uncertainties surrounding the timing and outcome of any approvals, we are currently unable to estimate when, if ever, our product candidates will generate revenues and cash flows.
 
The following table sets forth, in thousands, the primary components of our research and development external expenditures, including the amortization of our intangible asset, for each of our principal development programs by product area for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , and from project inception to June 30, 2017 . The figures in the table include project expenditures incurred by us and reimbursed by our collaborators, but exclude project expenditures incurred by our collaborators. Although we track and accumulate personnel effort by percentage of time spent on our programs, a significant portion of our internal research and development costs, including salaries and benefits, share-based compensation, facilities, depreciation and laboratory supplies are not directly charged to programs. Therefore, our methods for accounting for internal research and development costs preclude us from reporting these costs on a project-by-project basis.

In July 2010, the first ANDA for Enoxaparin Sodium Injection was approved by the FDA, and Sandoz launched the product. In April 2015, the FDA approved the ANDA for once-daily GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. Sandoz launched GLATOPA 20 mg/mL in June 2015. The ANDA for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL is under FDA review. For more information on GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, see " —Overview—Complex Generics—GLATOPA ® 40 mg/mL—Generic Three-times-weekly COPAXONE ® (glatiramer acetate injection) 40 mg/mL. "

Biosimilars include M923, a biosimilar candidate of HUMIRA ® (adalimumab), M834, a biosimilar candidate of ORENCIA ® (abatacept), as well as five other biosimilar candidates, including our undisclosed biosimilar candidate, M710. In April 2016, enrollment in the pivotal clinical trial for M923 was completed and in November 2016, following an interim analysis, we announced top-line Phase III results including that M923 met its primary endpoint in the study. We initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial of M834 in November 2016. Our other biosimilar candidates are in discovery and process development. As a result of the cost-sharing provisions of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, we offset approximately $6.8 million and $8.4 million against research and development costs during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

(4)
Our novel therapeutic programs include M281, for which the multiple ascending dose portion of a Phase 1 study was initiated in January 2017; M230, which our licensee, CSL, plans to advance with a goal of beginning clinical development in 2017 ; M254, which is currently in preclinical development and for which we are planning to initiate an IND-enabling toxicology study in 2017; costs related to our necuparanib program, which was discontinued in August 2016; as well as other discovery and nonclinical stage programs.

External expenditures for complex generics increased by $0.3 million , or 30% from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 as we continue to support our complex generics. External expenditures for our biosimilars programs increased by $16.0 million , or 906% , from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 driven primarily by our assuming responsibility for development and commercialization of M923 effective December 31, 2016 . External costs of our novel therapeutic programs decreased by $8.8 million , or 93% , from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 , driven primarily by a $2.2 million decrease in costs related to our necuparanib program, which we discontinued in August 2016, and a $3.5 million reduction in research and development expenses for reimbursable M230 materials costs incurred under the CSL License Agreement. Finally, internal costs decreased by $1.5 million , or 7% , from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense.
 
Due to the variability in the length of time necessary to develop a product, the uncertainties related to the estimated cost of the projects and ultimate ability to obtain governmental approval for commercialization, accurate and meaningful estimates of the ultimate cost to bring our product candidates to market are not available.
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for personnel in general and administrative functions, professional fees for legal and accounting services, royalty and license fees, insurance costs, and rent, facility and lab supplies, and depreciation expense.
 
We have a collaboration agreement with Mylan pursuant to which we share research and development expenses related to biosimilar candidates under the collaboration. We record expenses incurred under this collaboration arrangement for such work as general and administrative expense, based on the nature of the cost reimbursement. Because the collaboration

Table of Contents

arrangement is a cost sharing arrangement, we concluded that when there is a period during the collaboration arrangement during which we are owed payment from Mylan, we record the reimbursement by Mylan for its share of the development effort as a reduction of general and administrative expense. Amounts owed to Mylan are recorded as incremental general and administrative expense.
 
General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $22.6 million , compared with $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . The increase of $7.7 million , or 52% , from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily driven by approximately $5.0 million in legal fees relating to our ongoing litigation and $1.3 million in personnel-related expenses driven by increased headcount and higher share-based compensation expense.
 
We expect our general and administrative expenses, including internal and external legal and business development costs that support our various product development efforts, to vary from period to period in relation to our commercial and development activities.
 
Other Income, Net
 
Other income, net, primarily includes interest income. Interest income was $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The increase of $0.5 million , or 83% , from the three months ended June 30, 2016 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 was caused by higher average investment balances due to funds raised under the 2015 ATM Agreement in 2017.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016
 
Collaboration Revenue

GLATOPA ® 20 mg/mL—Generic Once-daily COPAXONE ® (glatiramer acetate injection) 20 mg/mL

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we recorded $42.5 million in product revenues from Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, reflecting $43.4 million in profit share net of a deduction of $0.9 million for reimbursement to Sandoz of 50% of GLATOPA-related legal expenses incurred by Sandoz. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we recorded $35.5 million in product revenues from Sandoz’ sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. The increase in product revenues of $7.0 million , or 20% , from the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a higher number of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL units sold in 2017 .
 
Research and Development Revenue
 
Research and development revenue was $7.6 million and $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The decrease in research and development revenue of $3.2 million , or 30% , from the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the termination of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, effective December 31, 2016 , under which we were previously reimbursed for M923 FTE and external costs and for which we recognized a portion of Baxalta's initial upfront payment in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , which were non-recurring in the same period in 2017 .
 
Research and Development Expense
 
Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $75.2 million , compared with $61.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . The increase of $13.3 million , or 21% , from the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to $20.5 million in increased spending on M923, as the program was transitioned back to us effective December 31, 2016 in connection with the termination of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, partially offset by a $5.3 million reduction in spend on our necuparanib program, which we discontinued in August 2016.

The following table sets forth, in thousands, the primary components of our research and development external expenditures, including the amortization of our intangible asset, for each of our principal development programs by product area for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , and from project inception to June 30, 2017 .

Our novel therapeutic programs include M281, for which the multiple ascending dose portion of a Phase 1 study was initiated in January 2017; M230, which our licensee, CSL, plans to advance with a goal of beginning clinical development in 2017 ; M254, which is currently in preclinical development and for which we are planning to initiate an IND-enabling toxicology study in 2017 ; costs related to our necuparanib program, which was discontinued in August 2016; as well as other discovery and nonclinical stage programs.

External expenditures for complex generics increased by $1.8 million , or 139% , from the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2017 as we continue to support our complex generics. External expenditures for our biosimilars programs increased by $20.3 million , or 327% , from the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2017 driven by our assuming responsibility for development and commercialization of M923 effective December 31, 2016 . External costs of our novel therapeutic programs decreased by $9.0 million , or 60% , from the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2017 , primarily driven by a $5.3 million decrease in costs related to our discontinued necuparanib program. Finally, internal costs for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017 were consistent period over period.
  
General and Administrative Expense
 
General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $45.7 million , compared with $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . The increase of $15.2 million , or 50% , from the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily driven by approximately $8.0 million of legal costs relating to our ongoing litigation and $3.3 million in personnel-related expenses driven by increased headcount and higher share-based compensation expense.

The increase of $0.8 million , or 73%, from the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the six months ended June 30, 2017 was caused by higher average investment balances due to funds raised under the 2015 ATM Agreement in 2017.

In April 2015, we entered into the 2015 ATM Agreement with Stifel, under which we were authorized to issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $75 million from time to time through Stifel, acting as sales agent and/or principal. We were required to pay Stifel a commission of 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock under the 2015 ATM Agreement. From April 2015 through December 2015, we sold approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock under the 2015 ATM Agreement pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement previously filed with the SEC (Reg. No. 333-188227) and a related prospectus supplement, raising net proceeds of approximately $9.3 million . In the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we sold approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC (Reg. No. 333-209813) and a related prospectus supplement,raising net proceeds of $64.1 million , and concluded sales under the 2015 ATM Agreement.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At June 30, 2017 , we had $456.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $24.8 million in collaboration receivables, which includes $19.1 million in profit share from Sandoz' sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL. In addition, we also held $21.8 million in restricted cash, of which $17.5 million serves as collateral for a $35 million security bond posted in the litigation against Amphastar.

We have funded our operations to date primarily through the sale of equity securities and payments received under our collaboration and license agreements, including contractual profits from Sandoz’ sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, upfront and milestone payments, and reimbursement of research and development services and reimbursement of development costs. We expect to fund our planned operating and expenditure requirements through a combination of current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities; equity financings; and milestone payments and contractual profits under existing collaboration agreements. We may also seek funding from new collaborations and strategic alliances, debt financings and other financial arrangements. Future funding transactions may or may not be similar to our prior funding transactions. There can be no assurance that future funding transactions will be available on favorable terms, or at all. We currently believe that our current capital resources, projected milestone payments and contractual profits will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements through at least the end of 2018 .

Due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate precisely our future operating and expenditure requirements. For information regarding certain important factors that could impact our financial position or future results of operations, please see “ Part II., Item IA. Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

Our funds at June 30, 2017 were primarily invested in commercial paper, overnight repurchase agreements, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities and United States money market funds, directly or through managed funds, with remaining maturities of 12 months or less. Our cash is deposited in and invested through highly rated financial institutions in North America. The composition and mix of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities may change frequently as a result of our evaluation of conditions in the financial markets, the maturity of specific investments, and our near term liquidity needs. We do not believe that our cash equivalents and marketable securities were subject to significant market risk at June 30, 2017 .

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities
 
The cash provided by or used in operating activities generally approximates our net loss adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
 
Cash provided by operating activities was $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 reflecting a net loss of $68.7 million , which was partially offset by non-cash charges of $3.6 million for depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and intangible assets and $11.4 million in shared-based compensation.  The net change in our operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $91.9 million and primarily resulted from the receipt of $50 million from CSL under the CSL License Agreement, which is included in deferred revenue at June 30, 2017 , and a one-time cash payment of $51.2 million in connection with the termination of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, which was included in collaboration receivable at December 31, 2016 , partially offset by the change in collaboration advance of $12.5 million, representing Mylan's 50% share of certain collaboration expenses under the cost-sharing provisions of the Mylan Collaboration Agreement.

Cash used in operating activities was $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflecting a net loss of $45.0 million , which was partially offset by non-cash charges of $4.7 million for depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and intangible assets, $9.8 million in shared-based compensation and $0.4 million for amortization of purchased premiums on our marketable securities. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $21.2 million and primarily resulted from the receipt of $45 million from Mylan under the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, partially offset by amortization of collaboration upfront payments and a $12.7 million collaboration receivable from Mylan for its 50% share of collaboration expenses under the cost-sharing arrangement.  
Cash (used in) provided by investing activities
 
Cash used in investing activities of $149.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 includes cash outflows of $269.4 million for purchases of marketable securities and $5.7 million for capital equipment and leasehold improvements, partially offset by cash inflows of $125.6 million from maturities of marketable securities.

Cash provided by investing activities of $36.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 includes cash inflows of $261.7 million from maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by cash outflows of $222.0 million for purchases of marketable securities and $3.7 million for capital equipment and leasehold improvements.
 
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities
 
Cash provided by financing activities of $71.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 includes $64.1 million of net proceeds from shares sold under the 2015 ATM Agreement and $7.2 million in proceeds from stock option exercises and purchases of shares of our common stock through our employee stock purchase plan.

Cash used in financing activities of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 consists of $1.0 million of cash paid to tax authorities in connection with the vesting of employee performance-based restricted stock partially offset by $0.6 million in proceeds from stock option exercises and purchases of shares of our common stock through our employee stock purchase plan.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
Our major outstanding contractual obligations primarily relate operating lease obligations and purchase obligations. As discussed in Note 9 " Subsequent Events ", in July 2017, we amended our lease agreement with BMR-Rogers Street LLC, and a result, rental payments for the Bent Premises will increase by $7.4 million over the remaining term of the lease, and rental payments for the Fourth Floor Binney Premises will be $43.7 million over the term of the lease. All other disclosures relating to our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2017, have not materially changed since we filed that report.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the

37

Table of Contents

consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
 
Please refer to the significant accounting policies described in " Part II., Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations " of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2017.
 
Please refer to Revenue Recognition within Note 2 “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for our discussion of our revenue recognition policy for our multiple element arrangements. The notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements are contained in " Part I., Item 1. Financial Statements " of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
Please refer to Note 2 “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of new accounting standards.
 
Item 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. Our current investment policy is to maintain an investment portfolio consisting mainly of United States money market, government-secured, and high-grade corporate securities, directly or through managed funds, with maturities of twenty-four months or less. Our cash is deposited in and invested through highly rated financial institutions in North America. Our marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. However, due to the conservative nature of our investments, low prevailing market rates and relatively short effective maturities of debt instruments, interest rate risk is mitigated. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at June 30, 2017 , we estimate that the fair value of our investment portfolio would decline by an immaterial amount. We do not own derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Accordingly, we do not believe that there is any material market risk exposure with respect to derivative, foreign currency or other financial instruments that would require disclosure under this item.

Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2017 . Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2017 , our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-Related Proceedings
 
On September 10, 2014, Teva and Yeda filed a suit against us and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in response to the filing by Sandoz Inc. of the ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL. The suit initially alleged infringement related to two Orange Book-listed patents for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, each expiring in 2030, and sought declaratory and injunctive relief prohibiting the launch of our product until the last to expire of these patents. In April 2015, Teva and Yeda filed an additional suit against us and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement related to a third Orange Book-listed patent for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, which issued in March 2015 and expires in 2030. In May 2015, this suit was consolidated with the initial suit that was filed in September 2014. In November 2015, Teva and Yeda filed a suit against us and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement related to a fourth Orange Book-listed patent for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, which issued in October 2015 and expires in 2030. In December 2015, this suit was also consolidated with the initial suit that was filed in September 2014. Teva and Yeda seek declaratory and injunctive relief prohibiting the launch of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL until the expiration of the patents at issue. On January 30, 2017, the District Court found the four patents to be invalid due to obviousness. On February 2, 2017, Teva and Yeda filed a notice of appeal of the District Court's January 30, 2017 decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

On December 19, 2016, Teva and Yeda filed suit against us and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware again in response to the filing by Sandoz Inc. of the ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, for alleged infringement of an Orange Book-listed patent for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, U.S. Patent No. 9,402,874. On May 1, 2017, the District Court entered the joint stipulation filed by the parties, dismissing the case pertaining to U.S. Patent No. 9,402,874.

On January 31, 2017, Teva filed a suit against us and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging infringement related to an additional patent for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, U.S. Patent No. 9,155,775, which issued in October 2015 and expires in October 2035. We and Sandoz Inc. filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to transfer the suit to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. On January 31, 2017, Teva voluntarily dismissed us from the New Jersey suit for U.S. Patent No. 9,155,775, maintaining the suit against Sandoz Inc. On May 23, 2017, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the motion to transfer the suit to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

On February 2, 2017, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaration that U.S. Patent No. 9,155,775 is invalid, not infringed or not enforceable against us. In March 2017, Teva filed a motion, which is currently pending, to stay further proceedings in the Delaware action.
 
M834-Related Proceedings
 
On July 2, 2015, we filed a petition for Inter Partes Review, or IPR, with the PTAB to challenge the validity of U.S. Patent No. 8,476,239, a patent for ORENCIA owned by Bristol-Myers Squibb, or BMS. The PTAB issued a decision instituting the IPR proceedings in January 2016, and BMS filed for a rehearing by the full PTAB. Oral arguments took place in September 2016. On December 22, 2016, the PTAB issued a decision upholding the validity of the patent. We filed a notice of appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, or the Federal Circuit, on February 22, 2017. BMS filed a motion to dismiss our appeal in the Federal Circuit on March 29, 2017, which the Federal Circuit denied on June 19, 2017, stating that the standing issue raised in BMS's motion to dismiss should be addressed in the parties' appeal briefs. On June 29, 2017, the Federal Circuit ordered an expedited briefing schedule proposed by us, noting that oral argument will be scheduled once briefing is complete.
 
Enoxaparin Sodium Injection-Related Proceedings
 
On September 21, 2011, we and Sandoz Inc. sued Amphastar and Actavis in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts for patent infringement. Also in September 2011, we filed a request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to prevent Amphastar and Actavis from selling their Enoxaparin product in the United States. In October 2011, the District Court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction and entered an order enjoining Amphastar and Actavis from advertising, offering for sale or selling their Enoxaparin product in the United States until the conclusion of a trial on the merits and required us and Sandoz Inc. to post a security bond of $100 million in connection with the litigation. Amphastar and Actavis appealed the decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, or CAFC, and in January 2012,

39

Table of Contents

the CAFC stayed the preliminary injunction. In August 2012, the CAFC vacated the preliminary injunction and remanded the case to the District Court. In September 2012, we filed a petition with the CAFC for rehearing by the full court en banc , which was denied. In February 2013, we filed a petition for a writ of certiorari for review of the CAFC decision by the United States Supreme Court, which was denied in June 2013.
 
In July 2013, the District Court granted a motion by Amphastar and Actavis for summary judgment. We filed a notice of appeal of that decision to the CAFC. In February 2014, Amphastar filed a motion to the CAFC for summary affirmance of the District Court ruling, which the CAFC denied in May 2014. On November 10, 2015, the CAFC affirmed the District Court summary judgment decision with respect to Actavis, reversed the District Court summary judgment decision with respect to Amphastar, and remanded the case against Amphastar to the District Court. On January 11, 2016, Amphastar filed a petition for rehearing by the CAFC, which was denied on February 17, 2016. On May 17, 2016, Amphastar filed a petition for a writ of certiorari for review of the CAFC decision by the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on October 3, 2016. In April 2017, we, Sandoz Inc. and Actavis, or the Settling Parties, settled and signed reciprocal releases of all claims, and filed a voluntary stipulation with the District Court, pursuant to which the Settling Parties stipulated and agreed to dismiss with prejudice all claims and counterclaims among the Settling Parties, without fees or costs to any party, and with the Settling Parties waiving any and all right of appeal. The District Court trial was held in July 2017, and the jury verdict found our patent to be infringed, but invalid and unenforceable. We and Sandoz Inc. are considering all available legal options to overturn the portions of the verdict finding our patent to be invalid and unenforceable, including post-trial motions and appeals. In the event that we are not successful in further prosecution or settlement of this action against Amphastar, and Amphastar is able to prove it suffered damages as a result of the preliminary injunction, we could be liable for damages for up to $35 million of the security bond. We posted $17.5 million as collateral for the security bond and classified the collateral as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheet. Litigation involves many risks and uncertainties, and there is no assurance that we or Sandoz Inc. will prevail in this patent enforcement suit.
 
On September 17, 2015, Amphastar filed a complaint against us and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that, in connection with filing the September 2011 patent infringement suit against Amphastar and Actavis, we and Sandoz Inc. sought to prevent Amphastar from selling generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and thereby exclude competition for generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in violation of federal and California anti-trust laws and California unfair business laws. Amphastar is seeking unspecified damages and fees. In December 2015, we and Sandoz Inc. filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to transfer the case. In January 2016, the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In February 2016, Amphastar filed a writ of mandamus with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit requesting that the court reverse and review the District Court’s grant of transfer, and in May 2016, the writ requested by Amphastar was denied. On July 27, 2016, our and Sandoz Inc.’s motion to dismiss was granted by the District Court, and the case was dismissed. On August 25, 2016, Amphastar filed a notice of appeal from the dismissal with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Briefing was completed in December 2016, and oral argument was held on February 9, 2017. On March 6, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reversed the District Court’s dismissal and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings. On April 6, 2017, the District Court held a scheduling conference to provide dates for the remanded case, and on April 20, 2017, we and Sandoz Inc. filed our renewed motion to dismiss. Trial is scheduled for April 2019.
 
On October 14, 2015, The Hospital Authority of Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee, d/b/a Nashville General Hospital, or NGH, filed a class action suit against us and Sandoz Inc. in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on behalf of certain purchasers of LOVENOX or generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection. The complaint alleges that, in connection with filing the September 2011 patent infringement suit against Amphastar and Actavis, we and Sandoz Inc. sought to prevent Amphastar from selling generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and thereby exclude competition for generic Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in violation of federal anti-trust laws. NGH is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement of profits and unspecified damages and fees. In December 2015, we and Sandoz Inc. filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. On March 21, 2017, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee dismissed NGH’s claim for damages against us and Sandoz, but allowed the case to move forward, in part, for NGH’s claims for injunctive and declaratory relief. In the same opinion, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee denied our motion to transfer. On June 9, 2017, NGH filed a motion to amend its complaint to add a new named plaintiff, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 37 Health & Security Plan (“DC37”). NGH and DC 37 seek to assert claims for damages under the laws of more than 30 different states, on behalf of a putative class of indirect purchasers of Lovenox or generic enoxaparin. On June 30, 2017, we and Sandoz filed a brief opposing the motion to amend the complaint. The Court has not yet scheduled a hearing on the motion to amend. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we believe this suit is without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this litigation.

Item 1A.    RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other important factors described below in addition to other information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before purchasing our securities. The risks, uncertainties and other important factors described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks, uncertainties and other important factors of which we are unaware, or that we currently believe are not material, may also affect us. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business

If we or our collaborative partners encounter difficulties in our supply or manufacturing arrangements, including an inability by third party manufacturers to satisfy FDA quality standards and related regulatory requirements, our development and commercialization efforts may be materially harmed.

We have limited personnel with experience in, and we do not own facilities for, manufacturing any products. We depend upon our collaborative partners and other third parties, including sole source suppliers, to provide raw materials meeting FDA quality standards and related regulatory requirements, manufacture the drug substance, produce the final drug product and provide certain analytical services with respect to our products and product candidates. The FDA and other regulatory authorities require that our products be manufactured according to current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP, regulations and that proper procedures are implemented to assure the quality of our sourcing of raw materials and the manufacture of our products. Any failure by us, our collaborative partners or our third-party manufacturers to comply with cGMP and/or scale-up manufacturing processes could lead to a delay in, or failure to obtain, regulatory approval. In addition, such failure could be the basis for action by the FDA to withdraw approvals for products previously granted to us and for other regulatory action, including product recall or seizure, fines, imposition of operating restrictions, total or partial suspension of production or injunctions. To the extent we rely on a third-party manufacturer, the risk of non-compliance with cGMPs may be greater and the ability to effect corrective actions for any such noncompliance may be compromised or delayed. For example, on February 17, 2017, we announced that Sandoz’ third party fill/finish manufacturing partner for GLATOPA, Pfizer Inc., received an FDA warning letter. The FDA warning letter does not restrict the production or shipment of the GLATOPA 20 mg/mL product that is currently marketed by Sandoz in the United States; however, the FDA may withhold approval of pending drug applications listing the Pfizer Inc. facility, including the ANDA for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, until satisfactory resolution of the compliance observations in the FDA warning letter. If the FDA delays an approval of the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL until satisfactory resolution of the compliance observations in the FDA warning letter, the greater the risk to us and Sandoz of prior or contemporaneous competition from other generic versions of COPAXONE 40 mg/mL. Any prior or contemporaneous competition from other generic versions of COPAXONE 40 mg/mL could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

In addition, any change in manufacturers, including for GLATOPA, could be costly because the commercial terms of any new arrangement could be less favorable, and the expenses and development and commercial delays relating to the transfer of necessary technology and processes could be significant. For GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, the longer the period of time that it would take for Sandoz to transfer the necessary technology and processes to a new fill/finish manufacturer, the greater the risk to us and Sandoz of prior or contemporaneous competition from other generic versions of COPAXONE 40 mg/mL. Any prior or contemporaneous competition from other generic versions of COPAXONE 40 mg/mL could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Moreover, in order to generate revenue from the sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection, GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, and if approved, GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, sufficient quantities of such product must also be produced in order to satisfy demand. If these contract manufacturers and suppliers, which include sole source suppliers, are unable to manufacture sufficient quantities of product or breach or terminate their manufacturing arrangements with us or Sandoz, as applicable, the development and commercialization of the affected products or product candidates could be delayed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have relied upon third parties, including sole source suppliers, to produce material for nonclinical and clinical studies and may continue to do so in the future. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain and/or maintain long-term supply and supply arrangements of those materials on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to arrange for third-party manufacturing, or to do so on commercially reasonable terms, we may not be able to complete development of our product candidates or market them.

If GLATOPA 40 mg/mL is launched following any FDA approval and prior to final resolution of product-related patent infringement litigation in our favor, we may incur significant damages.

Sandoz has the sole right to decide the timing and scope of the launch of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL following FDA approval. If Sandoz markets and sells GLATOPA 40 mg/mL following any FDA approval and prior to a final judicial resolution of product-related patent infringement litigation in our and Sandoz’ favor, we and Sandoz may be subject to claims for patent infringement damages. Damages for infringement may in some instances exceed the amount of revenue earned by the infringing product. If Sandoz launches GLATOPA 40 mg/mL prior to final resolution of any product-related patent infringement litigation and Teva subsequently succeeds in any such litigation, we and Sandoz may be liable for significant damages. Our collaboration with Sandoz provides that our fifty (50) percent share of such damages would be payable from any contractual profits due to us from sales of GLATOPA. Our payment of such damages could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Sandoz may delay or reduce the scope of a GLATOPA 40 mg/mL launch following any FDA approval until we and Sandoz prevail in product-related patent infringement litigation or until the relevant patents expire.

Since the damages associated with a GLATOPA 40 mg/mL launch prior to final resolution of any product-related patent infringement litigation in our and Sandoz’ favor can be substantial, Sandoz may delay or reduce the scope of a GLATOPA 40 mg/mL launch following any FDA approval. A delayed launch could occur as late as final resolution of all GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-related patent infringement litigation in our and Sandoz’ favor or, if we and Sandoz are unsuccessful in such litigation, the expiration of the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-related patents. A launch that is delayed or reduced in scope could delay or reduce any future contractual profits due to us from sales of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
Sandoz may be prevented from marketing and selling GLATOPA 40 mg/mL following any FDA approval if Teva is successful in obtaining injunctive relief.

A court may issue a temporary or permanent injunction pending the outcome of any GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-related patent infringement litigation or as a remedy if Teva prevails in any GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-related patent infringement litigation. An injunction would prevent us and Sandoz from manufacturing and selling GLATOPA 40 mg/mL and/or prohibit the use of previously manufactured GLATOPA 40 mg/mL for commercial sale until we and Sandoz prevail in litigation or the relevant patents expire. If Teva is successful in obtaining injunctive relief for any GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-related patents, Sandoz’ ability to successfully commercialize GLATOPA 40 mg/mL would be significantly impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We may incur significant expenses and damages in the future in connection with allegations by Teva that we and Sandoz are infringing COPAXONE-related patents other than those at issue in the current GLATOPA 40 mg/mL-related patent infringement suits.

We and Sandoz are currently parties in patent infringement litigation in respect of all Orange Book-listed patents for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL as well as an additional COPAXONE 40 mg/mL-related patent. Teva may allege in the future that our and Sandoz’ manufacturing and sale of GLATOPA infringes COPAXONE-related patents other than those at issue in the currently pending litigation, including patents that may issue in the future. We would incur significant expenses under the terms of our collaboration with Sandoz to respond to and litigate any such claims, the outcomes of which would be uncertain. Furthermore, we may be liable for significant damages from the contractual profits of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL and, if approved and launched, GLATOPA 40 mg/mL if we and Sandoz are found to have infringed any such patents, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Moreover, litigation concerning intellectual property and proprietary technologies can be protracted and expensive and can distract management and personnel from running our business.
 
If other generic versions of the brand name drugs, or other biosimilars of the reference products, for which we have products or product candidates, including GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, M923 and M834, are approved and successfully commercialized, our business would suffer.

Pricing and market share of generic and biosimilar products may decline, often dramatically, as other generics or biosimilars of the same brand name drug or reference product, respectively, enter the market. Competing generics include brand name manufacturers’ “authorized generics” of their own brand name products. Generally, earlier-to-market generics and biosimilars are better able to gain significantly greater market share than later-to-market competing generics and biosimilars,

respectively. Accordingly, revenue and profits from GLATOPA 20 mg/mL and, if approved, our generic and biosimilar product candidates, may be significantly reduced based on the timing and number of competing generics and biosimilars, respectively. We expect GLATOPA 20 mg/mL and, if approved, certain of our generic and biosimilar product candidates may face intense and increasing competition from other generics and biosimilars. For example, Mylan and several other companies have submitted ANDAs to the FDA for generic versions of COPAXONE. A launch of an additional generic version of COPAXONE could significantly reduce anticipated revenue from GLATOPA 20 mg/mL and, if approved and launched, GLATOPA 40 mg/mL. The longer the period of time that it takes us and Sandoz to receive approval of the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL ANDA, the greater the risk of prior or contemporaneous competition from other generic versions of COPAXONE. On February 17, 2017, we announced that Sandoz’ third party fill/finish manufacturing partner for GLATOPA, Pfizer Inc., received an FDA warning letter. The FDA may withhold approval of pending drug applications listing the Pfizer Inc. facility, including the ANDA for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, until satisfactory resolution of the compliance observations in the FDA warning letter.

In addition, the first biosimilar determined to be interchangeable with a particular reference product for any condition of use is eligible for a period of market exclusivity that delays an FDA determination that a second or subsequent biosimilar product is interchangeable with that reference product for any condition of use until the earlier of: (1) one year after the first commercial marketing of the first interchangeable product; (2) 18 months after resolution of a patent infringement suit instituted under 42 U.S.C. § 262(l)(6) against the applicant that submitted the application for the first interchangeable product, based on a final court decision regarding all of the patents in the litigation or dismissal of the litigation with or without prejudice; (3) 42 months after approval of the first interchangeable product, if a patent infringement suit instituted under 42 U.S.C. § 262(l)(6) against the applicant that submitted the application for the first interchangeable product is still ongoing; or (4) 18 months after approval of the first interchangeable product if the applicant that submitted the application for the first interchangeable product has not been sued under 42 U.S.C. § 262(l)(6). A determination that another company’s product is interchangeable with HUMIRA, ORENCIA or another of the reference products for which we have a biosimilar product candidate prior to approval of M923, M834 or our other applicable biosimilar product candidates may therefore delay any determination that our product is interchangeable with the reference product, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations and delay, prevent or limit our ability to generate revenue.
 
If an alternative version of a reference product, such as COPAXONE, HUMIRA or ORENCIA, is developed that has a new product profile and labeling, the alternative version of the product could significantly reduce the market share of the original reference product, and may cause a significant decline in sales or potential sales of our corresponding generic or biosimilar product.
 
Brand companies may develop alternative versions of a reference product as part of a life cycle extension strategy, and may obtain approval of the alternative version under a supplemental new drug application, for a drug, or biologics license application, for a biologic. The alternative version may offer patients added benefits such as a more convenient form of administration or dosing regimen. Should the brand company succeed in obtaining an approval of an alternative product, it may capture a significant share of the collective reference product market and significantly reduce the market for the original reference product and thereby the potential size of the market for our generic or biosimilar products. For example, Teva’s three-times-weekly COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, which launched in early 2014, accounts for approximately 81% of the overall U.S. glatiramer acetate market (20 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL) based on volume prescribed. As a result, the market potential for GLATOPA 20 mg/mL has decreased, and may decrease further as additional patients are converted from once-daily COPAXONE to three-times-weekly COPAXONE. In addition, the alternative product may be protected by additional patent rights as well as have the benefit, in the case of drugs, of an additional three years of FDA marketing approval exclusivity, which would prohibit a generic version of the alternative product for some period of time. As a result, our business, including our financial results and our ability to fund future discovery and development programs, would suffer.
 
If the market for a reference product, such as COPAXONE, HUMIRA or ORENCIA, significantly declines, sales or potential sales of our corresponding generic and biosimilars product and product candidates may suffer and our business would be materially impacted.

Competition in the biotechnology industry is intense. Reference products face competition on numerous fronts as technological advances are made or new products are introduced that may offer patients a more convenient form of administration, increased efficacy or improved safety profile. As new products are approved that compete with the reference product to our generic products and product candidates and our biosimilar product candidates, respectively, sales of reference products and biosimilar and generics may be significantly and adversely impacted and may render the reference products obsolete.

Table of Contents

Current injectable treatments commonly used to treat multiple sclerosis, including COPAXONE, are competing with novel therapeutic products, including oral therapies. These oral therapies may offer patients a more convenient form of administration than COPAXONE and may provide increased efficacy.
 
If the market for the reference product is impacted, we in turn may lose significant market share or market potential for our generic or biosimilar products and product candidates, and the value for our generic or biosimilar pipeline could be negatively impacted. As a result, our business, including our financial results and our ability to fund future discovery and development programs, would suffer.
 
Our future GLATOPA product revenue is dependent on the continued successful commercialization of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL and successful commercialization of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, if approved.
 
Our near-term ability to generate GLATOPA product revenue depends, in large part, on Sandoz’ ability to continue to manufacture and commercialize GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, and manufacture and commercialize GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, if approved. On February 17, 2017, we announced that Sandoz’ third party fill/finish manufacturing partner for GLATOPA, Pfizer Inc., received an FDA warning letter. The FDA warning letter does not restrict the production or shipment of the GLATOPA 20 mg/mL product that is currently marketed by Sandoz in the United States; however, the FDA may withhold approval of pending drug applications listing the Pfizer Inc. facility, including the ANDA for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, until satisfactory resolution of the compliance observations in the FDA warning letter.

Our near-term ability to generate GLATOPA product revenue also depends in large part on Sandoz' ability to maintain market share and the pricing levels for GLATOPA 20 mg/mL and, if approved, GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, as Sandoz competes with Teva’s three-times-weekly COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, which currently accounts for approximately 81% of the overall U.S. glatiramer acetate market (20 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL) based on volume prescribed. Because GLATOPA 20 mg/mL is only a substitutable generic version of the once-daily 20 mg/mL formulation of COPAXONE, the market potential of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL is negatively impacted by the conversion of patients from once-daily COPAXONE 20 mg/mL to three-times-weekly COPAXONE 40 mg/mL prior to the approval and launch of the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL product, which is currently pending FDA approval. Following any such approval and launch of the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL product, our near-term ability to generate GLATOPA product revenue will continue to depend on Sandoz' ability to compete with Teva's three-times-weekly COPAXONE 40 mg/mL product. In addition, other competitors may in the future receive approval to market generic versions of the 20 mg/mL or 40 mg/mL formulations of COPAXONE which would further impact our product revenue, which is based on a fifty-percent contractual profit share and, as a result, our business, including our near-term financial results and our ability to utilize GLATOPA revenue to fund future discovery and development programs, may suffer.
 
Any future Enoxaparin Sodium Injection product revenue is dependent on the successful manufacture and commercialization of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection .
 
Our near-term ability to generate Enoxaparin Sodium Injection product revenue depends, in large part, on Sandoz’ ability to manufacture and commercialize Enoxaparin Sodium Injection and compete with LOVENOX brand competition as well as authorized and other generic competition. Sandoz is facing increasing competition and pricing pressure from brand, authorized generic and other currently-approved generic competitors, which has and will continue to impact Sandoz’ net sales and profits from Enoxaparin Sodium Injection, and therefore our product revenue. Furthermore, other competitors may in the future receive approval to market generic Enoxaparin products which would further impact our product revenue, which is based on a fifty-percent contractual profit share. Due to these circumstances, the resulting market price for our Enoxaparin Sodium Injection product has substantially decreased and may decrease further. Sandoz did not record any profit on sales of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in the six months ended June 30, 2017 , and therefore we recorded no product revenue for Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in the same period. Accordingly, we do not anticipate significant Enoxaparin Sodium Injection revenue in the near term.
 
If our patent litigation against Amphastar related to Enoxaparin Sodium Injection is not successful or third parties are successful in antitrust litigation against us relating to Enoxaparin Sodium Injection, we may be liable for damages and our business may be materially harmed.
 
The District Court trial in our patent litigation against Amphastar related to Enoxaparin Sodium Injection was held in July 2017, and the jury verdict found our patent to be infringed by Amphastar, but invalid and unenforceable. We and Sandoz Inc. are considering all available legal options to overturn the portions of the verdict that found our patent to be invalid and unenforceable, including post-trial motions and appeals. In the event that we are not successful in our continued prosecution of our suit against Amphastar and Amphastar is able to prove it suffered damages as a result of the preliminary injunction preventing it from selling its Enoxaparin product in the United States, we could be liable for up to $35 million of the security

bond for such damages. Moreover, if third parties are successful in antitrust litigation against us for asserting our Enoxaparin patent rights, they may be able to recover damages incurred as a result of enforcement of our patent rights, thereby negatively affecting our financial condition and results of operations.

If efforts by manufacturers of reference products to delay or limit the use of generics or biosimilars are successful, our sales of generic and biosimilar products may suffer.
 
Many manufacturers of branded products have increasingly used legislative, regulatory and other means to delay regulatory approval and to seek to restrict competition from manufacturers of generic drugs and biosimilars. These efforts have included:
 
settling patent lawsuits with generic or biosimilar companies, resulting in such patents remaining an obstacle for generic or biosimilar approval by others;
 
seeking to restrict biosimilar commercialization options by making mandatory the optional right to adjudicate patent rights under Section 351(l) of the Biologics Price, Competition and Innovation Act or restricting access by biosimilar and generic applicants by litigation or legislative action to the use of inter partes patent review proceedings at the U.S. Patent Office to challenge invalid biologic patent rights;

settling paragraph IV patent litigation with generic companies to prevent the expiration of the 180-day generic marketing exclusivity period or to delay the triggering of such exclusivity period;

submitting Citizen Petitions to request the FDA Commissioner to take administrative action with respect to prospective and submitted generic drug or biosimilar applications or to influence the adoption of policy with regard to the submission of biosimilar applications;

appealing denials of Citizen Petitions in United States federal district courts and seeking injunctive relief to reverse approval of generic drug or biosimilar applications;

restricting access to reference products for equivalence and biosimilarity testing that interfere with timely generic and biosimilar development plans, respectively;

conducting medical education with physicians, payers and regulators that claim that generic or biosimilar products are too complex for generic or biosimilar approval and influence potential market share;

seeking state law restrictions on the substitution of generic and biosimilar products at the pharmacy without the intervention of a physician or through other restrictive means such as excessive recordkeeping requirements or patient and physician notification;

seeking federal or state regulatory restrictions on the use of the same non-proprietary name as the reference brand product for a biosimilar or interchangeable biologic;

seeking federal reimbursement policies that do not promote adoption of biosimilars and interchangeable biologics;

seeking changes to the United States Pharmacopeia, an industry recognized compilation of drug and biologic standards;

pursuing new patents for existing products or processes which could extend patent protection for a number of years or otherwise delay the launch of generic drugs or biosimilars; and

influencing legislatures so that they attach special regulatory exclusivity or patent extension amendments to unrelated federal legislation.
 
The FDA’s practice is to rule within 150 days on Citizen Petitions that seek to prevent approval of an ANDA if the petition was filed after the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, or MMA. If, at the end of the 150-day period, the ANDA is not ready for approval or rejection, then the FDA has typically denied and dismissed the petition without acting on the petition. For example, Teva Neuroscience, Inc. filed eight Citizen Petitions regarding GLATOPA 20 mg/mL, all of which have been denied, dismissed or withdrawn. Teva also sought reversal of the denial of a Citizen Petition in federal court. Other third parties may also file Citizen Petitions requesting that the FDA adopt specific approval standards for

45

Table of Contents

generic or biosimilar products. Teva may seek to file additional Citizen Petitions pertaining to the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL ANDA or file other forms of comments to the FDA, and seek to delay or prevent the FDA approval of the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL ANDA, which could materially harm our business.
 
If these efforts to delay or block competition are successful, we may be unable to sell our generic and biosimilar products, if approved, which could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.

Competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries is intense, and if we are unable to compete effectively, our financial results will suffer.
 
The markets in which we intend to compete are undergoing, and are expected to continue to undergo, rapid and significant technological change. We expect competition to intensify as technological advances are made or new biotechnology products are introduced. New developments by competitors may render our current or future product candidates and/or technologies non-competitive, obsolete or not economical. Our competitors’ products may be more efficacious or marketed and sold more effectively than any of our products.
 
Many of our competitors have:
 
significantly greater financial, technical and human resources than we have at every stage of the discovery, development, manufacturing and commercialization process;

more extensive experience in commercializing generic drugs, biosimilars and novel therapeutics, conducting nonclinical studies, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, challenging patents and manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products;

products that have been approved or are in late stages of development; and

collaborative arrangements in our target markets with leading companies and/or research institutions.
 
We face, and will continue to face, competition with regard to our products and, if approved, our product candidates, based on many different factors, including:
 
the safety and effectiveness of our products;

with regard to our generic products and our generic and biosimilar product candidates, the differential availability of clinical data and experience and willingness of physicians, payers and formularies to rely on biosimilarity data;

the timing and scope of regulatory approvals for these products and regulatory opposition to any product approvals;

the availability and cost of manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales capabilities;

the effectiveness of our marketing, distribution and sales capabilities;

the price of our products;

the availability and amount of third-party reimbursement for our products; and

the strength of our patent positions.
 
Our competitors may develop or commercialize products with significant advantages in regard to any of these factors. Our competitors may therefore be more successful in commercializing their products than we are, which could adversely affect our competitive position and business.

If we or our collaborators are unable to establish and maintain key customer distribution arrangements, sales of our products, and therefore revenue, would be adversely impacted.
 
Drug products and biologics are sold through various channels, including retail, mail order, and to hospitals through group purchasing organizations, or GPOs. The distribution of such products is also managed by pharmacy benefit management firms, or PBMs, such as Express Scripts or CVS. These GPOs and PBMs rely on competitive bidding, discounts and rebates

46

Table of Contents

across their purchasing arrangements. We believe that we, in collaboration with commercial collaboration partners, will need to maintain adequate drug supplies, remain price competitive, comply with FDA regulations and provide high-quality products to establish and maintain relationships with GPOs and PBMs. The GPOs, PBMs and other customers with whom we or our collaborators have established contracts may also have relationships with our competitors and may decide to contract for or otherwise prefer products other than ours, limiting access of products to certain market segments. Our sales could also be negatively affected by any rebates, discounts or fees that are required by, or offered to, GPOs, PBMs, and customers, including wholesalers, distributors, retail chains or mail order services, to gain and retain market acceptance for our or our competitors’ products. For example, if PBMs, distributors and other customers contract with Teva for net price discounts or rebates on COPAXONE 20 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL in exchange for exclusivity or preferred status for COPAXONE prior to approval and launch of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, our opportunity to capture market share would be significantly restricted for the term of these contracts even after a launch of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL. If we or our collaborators are unable to establish and maintain competitive distribution arrangements with all of these customers, sales of our products, our revenue and our profits would suffer.
 
Even if we receive approval to market our product candidates, the market may not be receptive to our product candidates upon their commercial introduction, which could adversely affect our ability to generate sufficient revenue from product sales to maintain or grow our business.
 
Even if our product candidates are successfully developed and approved for marketing, our success and growth will also depend upon the acceptance of our products by patients, physicians and third-party payers. Acceptance of our products will be a function of our products being clinically useful, being cost effective and demonstrating sameness, in the case of our generic product candidate, and biosimilarity or interchangeability, in the case of our biosimilar product candidates, with an acceptable side effect profile as compared to existing or future treatments. In addition, even if our products achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to maintain that market acceptance over time.
 
Factors that we believe will materially affect market acceptance of our product candidates under development include:

the timing of our receipt of any marketing approvals, the terms of any approval and the countries in which approvals are obtained;

the safety, efficacy and ease of administration of our products;

the competitive pricing of our products;

physician confidence in the safety and efficacy of complex generic products or biosimilars;

the absence of, or limited clinical data available from, sameness testing of our complex generic products and biosimilarity or interchangeability testing of our biosimilar products;

the success and extent of our physician education and marketing programs;

the clinical, medical affairs, sales, distribution and marketing efforts of competitors; and

the availability and amount of government and third-party payer reimbursement.
 
If our products do not achieve market acceptance, we will not be able to generate sufficient revenue from product sales to maintain or grow our business.
 
If we are not able to retain our current management team or attract and retain qualified scientific, technical and business personnel, our business will suffer.
 
We are dependent on the members of our management team for our business success. Our employment arrangements with our executive officers are terminable by either party on short notice or no notice. We do not carry key person life insurance on the lives of any of our personnel. The loss of any of our executive officers would result in a significant loss in the knowledge and experience that we, as an organization, possess and could cause significant delays, or outright failure, in the development and approval of our product candidates. In addition, there is intense competition from numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, governmental entities and other research institutions, for human resources, including management, in the technical fields in which we operate, and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the successful development and commercialization of our product candidates. Another component of retention is

47

Table of Contents

the intrinsic value of equity awards, including stock options. Stock options granted to our executives and employees may be under pressure given the volatility of our stock performance and at such times may not always provide a retentive effect. If we lose key members of our management team, or are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business could be negatively affected.

There is a substantial risk of product liability claims in our business. If our existing product liability insurance is insufficient, a product liability claim against us that exceeds the amount of our insurance coverage could adversely affect our business.
 
Our business exposes us to significant potential product liability risks that are inherent in the development, manufacturing and marketing of human therapeutic products. Product liability claims could delay or prevent completion of our development programs. If we succeed in marketing products, such claims could result in a recall of our products or a change in the approved indications for which they may be used. We cannot be sure that the product liability insurance coverage we maintain will be adequate to cover any incident or all incidents. Furthermore, clinical trial and product liability insurance is becoming increasingly expensive. As a result, we may be unable to maintain sufficient insurance at a reasonable cost to protect us against losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business. These liabilities could prevent or interfere with our product development and commercialization efforts.
 
Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures or security breaches.
 
Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in our and our third party contractors' computer systems and networks. Our internal computer systems are vulnerable to breakdown or breach, including as a result of computer viruses, security breaches by individuals with authorized access, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication and electrical failures. The increased use of mobile and cloud technologies can heighten these and other operational risks. Moreover, systems breaches are increasing in their frequency, sophistication and intensity, and are becoming increasingly difficult to detect. Any breakdown or breach by employees or others may pose a risk that sensitive data, including clinical trial data, intellectual property, trade secrets or personal information belonging to us, our patients or our collaborators may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our development programs and our business operations. For example, the loss of clinical trial data from completed or future clinical trials could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data. Likewise, we rely on third parties to manufacture and commercialize our products and conduct clinical trials, and similar events relating to their computer systems could also have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of, or damage to, our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability, the further development and commercialization of our products and product candidates could be delayed, we could suffer reputational harm, we could be subject to regulatory action, and the trading price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, our liability insurance may not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to breakdown or breach of our computer systems and other related breaches.
 
As we continue to evolve from a company primarily involved in discovery and development of pharmaceutical products into one that is also involved in the development and commercialization of multiple pharmaceutical products, we may have difficulty managing our growth and expanding our operations successfully.
 
As we advance an increasing number of product candidates through the development process, we will need to expand our development, regulatory, manufacturing, quality, distribution, sales and marketing capabilities or contract with other organizations to provide these capabilities for us. As our operations expand, we expect that we will need to manage additional relationships with various collaborative partners, suppliers and other organizations.
 
In addition, our ability to manage our operations and growth requires us to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures. For example, some jurisdictions, such as the District of Columbia, have imposed licensing requirements for sales representatives. In addition, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as the federal government, by way of the Sunshine Act provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, have established reporting requirements that would require public reporting of consulting and research fees to health care professionals. Because the reporting requirements vary in each jurisdiction, compliance can be complex and expensive and may create barriers to entering the commercialization phase. The need to build new systems as part of our growth could place a strain on our administrative and operational infrastructure. We may not be able to make improvements to our management information and control systems in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. Such requirements may also impact our opportunities to collaborate with physicians at academic research centers as new restrictions on academic-industry relationships are put in place. In the past,

48

Table of Contents

collaborations between academia and industry have led to important new innovations, but the new laws may have an effect on these activities. While we cannot predict whether any legislative or regulatory changes will have negative or positive effects, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and potential profitability.
 
We may incur costs and allocate resources to identify and develop additional product candidates or acquire or make investments in companies or technologies without realizing any benefit, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or cash flows.
 
Along with continuing to progress our current product candidates, the long-term success of our business also depends on our ability to successfully identify, develop and commercialize additional product candidates. Research programs to identify new product candidates require substantial technical, financial and human resources. We may focus our efforts and resources on potential programs and product candidates that ultimately prove to be unsuccessful.
 
In addition, we may acquire or invest in companies, products and technologies. Such transactions involve a number of risks, including:

we may find that the acquired company or assets does not further our business strategy, or that we overpaid for the company or assets, or that economic conditions change, all of which may generate a future impairment charge;

difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired business, and difficulty retaining the key personnel of the acquired business;

difficulty incorporating the acquired technologies;

difficulties or failures with the performance of the acquired technologies or products;

we may face product liability risks associated with the sale of the acquired company’s products;

disruption or diversion of management’s attention by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing diverse locations;

difficulty maintaining uniform standards, internal controls, procedures and policies;

the acquisition may result in litigation from terminated employees or third parties; and

we may experience significant problems or liabilities associated with product quality, technology and legal contingencies.
 
These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or cash flows, particularly in the case of a larger acquisition or multiple acquisitions in a short period of time. From time to time, we may enter into negotiations for acquisitions that are not ultimately consummated. Such negotiations could result in significant diversion of management time, as well as out-of-pocket costs.
 
The consideration paid in connection with an acquisition also affects our financial results. If we were to proceed with one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash to consummate any acquisition. To the extent we issue shares of stock or other rights to purchase stock, including options or other rights, existing stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease. In addition, acquisitions may result in the incurrence of debt, large one-time write-offs and restructuring charges. They may also result in goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to impairment tests, which could result in future impairment charges.
 
If we fail to maintain appropriate internal controls in the future, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, which may adversely affect our stock price and our business.
 
Our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and our external auditors’ audit of that assessment requires the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources.
 
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations, including human error, the possibility that controls could be circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions, and fraud. If we are unable to maintain effective

49

Table of Contents

internal controls, we may not have adequate, accurate or timely financial information, and we may be unable to meet our reporting obligations as a publicly traded company or comply with the requirements of the SEC or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended. This could result in a restatement of our financial statements, the imposition of sanctions, including the inability of registered broker dealers to make a market in our stock, or investigation by regulatory authorities. Any such action or other negative results caused by our inability to meet our reporting requirements or comply with legal and regulatory requirements or by disclosure of an accounting, reporting or control issue could adversely affect the trading price of our stock and our business.

Risks Relating to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital

We have incurred a cumulative loss since inception. If we do not generate significant revenue, we may not return to profitability.
 
We have incurred significant losses since our inception in May 2001. At June 30, 2017 , our accumulated deficit was $543 million . We may incur annual operating losses over the next several years as we expand our product development, commercialization and discovery efforts. In addition, we must successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, and effectively manufacture, market and sell any products we successfully develop. Accordingly, we may not generate significant revenue in the longer term and, even if we do generate significant revenue, we may never achieve long-term profitability.
 
To be profitable, we and our collaborative partners must succeed in developing and commercializing products with significant market potential. This will require us and our collaborative partners to be successful in a range of challenging activities: developing product candidates; obtaining regulatory approval for product candidates through either existing or new regulatory approval pathways; clearing allegedly infringing patent rights; enforcing our patent rights; and manufacturing, distributing, marketing and selling products. Our potential profitability will also be adversely impacted by the entry of competitive products and, if so, the degree of the impact could be affected by whether the entry is before or after the launch of our products. We may never succeed in these activities and may never generate revenues that are significant enough to achieve profitability. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Our failure to become or remain profitable would depress our market value and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, discover or develop other therapeutic candidates or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company could cause our shareholders to lose all or part of their investment.

We will require substantial funds and may require additional capital to execute our business plan and, if additional capital is not available, we may need to delay, limit or cease our product development efforts or other operations. If we are unable to fund our obligations under our collaboration and license agreements, we may breach those agreements and our collaboration partners could terminate those agreements.
 
As of June 30, 2017 , we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling approximately $456.8 million . For the quarter ended June 30, 2017 , we had a net loss of $36.9 million and our operations provided cash of $38.3 million . We will continue to require substantial funds to conduct research and development, process development, manufacturing, nonclinical testing and clinical trials of our product candidates, as well as funds necessary to manufacture and market products that are approved for commercial sale. Because successful development and commercialization of our product candidates is uncertain, we are unable to estimate the actual funds we will require to complete research and development and commercialize our products under development.
 
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:
 
the level of sales of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL;

the successful commercialization of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL and our other product candidates;
 
the cost of advancing our product candidates and funding our development programs, including the costs of nonclinical and clinical studies, obtaining reference product for nonclinical and clinical studies, manufacturing nonclinical and clinical supply material, and obtaining regulatory approvals;

the receipt of continuation payments under our Mylan Collaboration Agreement;

the receipt of milestone payments under our CSL License Agreement;

the cost of litigation, including with Amphastar relating to Enoxaparin Sodium Injection, that is not otherwise covered by our collaboration agreements, or potential patent litigation with others, as well as any damages, including possibly treble damages, that may be owed to third parties should we be unsuccessful in such litigation;

the ability to enter into additional strategic alliances for our non-partnered programs, such as M923, as well as the terms and timing of any milestone, royalty or profit share payments thereunder;

whether we opt in to a cost-and-profit sharing arrangement under the CSL License Agreement;

the continued progress in our research and development programs, including completion of our nonclinical studies and clinical trials;

the cost of acquiring and/or in-licensing other technologies, products or assets; and

the cost of manufacturing, marketing and sales activities, if any.
 
We expect to finance and manage our planned operating and capital expenditure requirements principally through our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, capital raised through our collaboration and license agreements and equity financings, continuation and milestone payments and product revenues under existing collaboration and license agreements. We believe that these funds will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements through at least the end of 2018. We may seek additional funding in the future through third-party collaborations and licensing arrangements, public or private debt financings or from other sources. Additional funds may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail one or more of our research or development programs. We also may not be able to fund our obligations under one or more of our collaboration and license agreements, which could enable one or more of our collaborators to terminate their agreements with us, and therefore harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Raising additional capital by issuing securities or through collaboration and licensing arrangements may cause dilution to existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish proprietary rights.

We may seek to raise the additional capital necessary to fund our operations through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, and collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders’ ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights or, in the case of debt securities, require us to pay interest that would reduce our cash flows from operations or comply with certain covenants that could restrict our operations. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

Risks Relating to Development and Regulatory Approval
 
The future success of our business is significantly dependent on the success of our GLATOPA 40 mg/mL product candidate. If we are not able to obtain regulatory approval for the commercial sale of our GLATOPA 40 mg/mL product candidate, our future results of operations will be adversely affected.
 
Our future results of operations depend to a significant degree on our ability to obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize GLATOPA 40 mg/mL. Our application for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL has been under review with the FDA since February 2014. To receive approval, we will be required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA, among other things, that GLATOPA 40 mg/mL:

contains the same active ingredients as COPAXONE 40 mg/mL;

is of the same dosage form, strength and route of administration as COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, and has the same labeling as the approved labeling for COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, with certain exceptions; and


51

meets compendia or other applicable standards for strength, quality, purity and identity, including potency.
 
In addition, approval of a generic product generally requires demonstrating that the generic drug is bioequivalent to the reference listed drug upon which it is based, meaning that there are no significant differences with respect to the rate and extent to which the active ingredients are absorbed and become available at the site of drug action. However, the FDA may or may not waive the requirements for certain bioequivalence data (including clinical data) for certain drug products, including injectable solutions that have been shown to contain the same active and inactive ingredients in the same concentration as the reference listed drug.
 
Determination of therapeutic equivalence of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL to COPAXONE 40 mg/mL will be based, in part, on our demonstration of the chemical equivalence of our version to its respective reference listed drugs. The FDA may not agree that we have adequately characterized GLATOPA 40 mg/mL or that GLATOPA 40 mg/mL and COPAXONE 40 mg/mL are chemical equivalents. In that case, the FDA may require additional information, including nonclinical or clinical trial results, to determine therapeutic equivalence or to confirm that any inactive ingredients or impurities do not compromise the product’s safety and efficacy. Provision of sufficient information for approval may be difficult, expensive and lengthy. We cannot predict whether GLATOPA 40 mg/mL will receive FDA approval as therapeutically equivalent to COPAXONE 40 mg/mL.
 
In the event that the FDA modifies its current standards for therapeutic equivalence with respect to generic versions of COPAXONE 40 mg/mL, or requires us to conduct clinical trials or complete other lengthy procedures, the commercialization of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL could be delayed or prevented or become more expensive. Regulatory approval of this or any other product may also be significantly delayed where manufacturing inspections are pending or have unresolved pending compliance issues. Delays in any part of the process or our inability to obtain regulatory approval for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL could adversely affect our operating results by restricting or significantly delaying our introduction of GLATOPA 40 mg/mL.

Moreover, on February 17, 2017, we announced that Sandoz’ third party fill/finish manufacturing partner for GLATOPA, Pfizer Inc., received an FDA warning letter. The FDA may withhold approval of pending drug applications listing the Pfizer Inc. facility, including the ANDA for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, until satisfactory resolution of the compliance observations in the FDA warning letter.
 
Although the BPCI Act establishes a regulatory pathway for the approval by the FDA of biosimilars, the standards for determining biosimilarity and interchangeability for biosimilars are only just being implemented by the FDA under recently developed and developing guidance. Therefore, substantial uncertainty remains about the potential value of our scientific approach and regulatory strategy for biosimilar development.
 
The regulatory climate in the United States for biosimilar versions of biologic and complex protein products remains uncertain, even following the enactment of legislation establishing a regulatory pathway for the approval of biosimilars under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act, or BPCI Act. For example, the FDA only recently issued a series of draft and final guidance documents on certain matters concerning approval of biosimilars, interchangeable biologics, non-proprietary naming and labeling, as well as quality and scientific considerations. Experience will develop as the number of products and applications increase. The pathway contemplates approval of two categories of follow-on biologic products: (1) biosimilar products, which are highly similar to the existing reference product, notwithstanding minor differences in clinically inactive components, and for which there are no clinically meaningful differences from the reference product and (2) interchangeable biologic products, which in addition to being biosimilar can be expected to produce the same clinical result in any given patient without an increase in risk due to switching from the reference product. Only interchangeable biosimilar products would be considered substitutable at the retail pharmacy level without the intervention of a physician. The legislation authorizes but does not require the FDA to establish standards or criteria for determining biosimilarity and interchangeability, and also authorizes the FDA to use its discretion to determine the nature and extent of product characterization, nonclinical testing and clinical testing on a product-by-product basis.
 
Our competitive advantage in this area will depend on our success in demonstrating to the FDA that our analytics, biocharacterization and protein engineering platform technology provides a level of scientific assurance that facilitates determinations of biosimilarity and/or interchangeability, reduces the need for large scale clinical trials or other testing, and raises the scientific quality requirements for our competitors to demonstrate that their products are highly similar to a reference product. Our ability to succeed will depend in part on our ability to invest in new programs and develop data in a timeframe that enables the FDA to consider our approach within the context of the biosimilar meeting and application review process. In addition, the FDA will likely require significant new resources and expertise to review biosimilar applications, and the timeliness of the review and approval of our future applications could be adversely affected if there were a decline or even limited growth in FDA funding. Our strategy to reduce and target clinical requirements by relying on analytical and functional nonclinical data may not be successful or may take longer than strategies that rely more heavily on clinical trial data.

The regulatory pathway also creates a number of additional obstacles to the approval and launch of biosimilar and interchangeable products, including:
 
a requirement for the applicant, as a condition to using the pre-approval patent exchange and clearance process, to share, in confidence, the information in its abbreviated pathway application with the reference product company’s and patent owner’s counsel;

the inclusion of multiple potential patent rights in the patent clearance process; and

a grant to each reference product company of 12 years of marketing exclusivity following the reference product approval.
 
Furthermore, the regulatory pathway creates the risk that the reference product company, during its 12-year marketing exclusivity period, will develop and replace its product with a non-substitutable or modified product that may also qualify for an additional 12-year marketing exclusivity period, reducing the opportunity for substitution at the retail pharmacy level for interchangeable biosimilars. Finally, the legislation also creates the risk that, as reference product and biosimilar companies gain experience with the regulatory pathway, subsequent FDA determinations or court rulings could create additional areas for potential disputes and resulting delays in biosimilars approval.
 
In addition, there is reconsideration and legislative debate that could lead to the repeal or amendment of the healthcare legislation. If the legislation is significantly amended or is repealed with respect to the biosimilar approval pathway, our opportunity to develop biosimilars (including interchangeable biologics) could be materially impaired and our business could be materially and adversely affected. Similarly, the legislative debate at the federal level regarding the federal government budget in 2013 restricted federal agency funding for the biosimilar pathway, including biosimilar user fee funding for fiscal year 2014, and has resulted in delays in hiring and in the conduct of meetings with biosimilar applicants and the review of biosimilar meeting and application information. The scheduling and conduct of biosimilar meeting and applications review was also suspended during the U.S. Government shutdown in October 2013, and could be subject to future suspensions as a result of future deadlocks in passage of federal appropriations bills in 2017 or future years. In addition, from time to time, the federal government implements hiring and regulatory freezes, such as the hiring and regulatory freezes implemented in early 2017, and other regulatory reform initiatives that have the potential to impact the future implementation of the biosimilar regulatory pathway. While proposals to repeal the Affordable Care Act do not appear to include proposals to repeal the BPCI Act, there is still some uncertainty about that possibility. Depending on the timing and the extent of these funding, meeting and review disruptions, our development of biosimilar products could be delayed.
 
Our opportunity to realize value from the potential of the biosimilars market is difficult and challenging due to the significant scientific and development expertise required to develop and consistently manufacture complex protein biologics.
 
The market potential of biosimilars may be difficult to realize, in large part due to the challenges of successfully developing and manufacturing biosimilars. Biologics are therapeutic proteins and are much more complex and much more difficult to characterize and replicate than small-molecule, chemically synthesized drugs. Proteins tend to be 100 to 1000 times larger than conventional drugs, and are more susceptible to physical factors such as light, heat and agitation. They also have greater structural complexity. Protein molecules differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which results in folding of the protein into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines its activity. Although the sequence of amino acids in a protein is consistently replicated, there are a number of changes that can occur following synthesis that create inherent variability. Chief among these is the glycosylation, or the attachment of sugars at certain amino acids. Glycosylation is critical to protein structure and function, and thoroughly characterizing and matching the glycosylation profile of a targeted biologic is essential and poses significant scientific and technical challenges. Furthermore, it is often challenging to consistently manufacture proteins with complex glycosylation profiles, especially on a commercial scale. Protein-based therapeutics are inherently heterogeneous and their structure is highly dependent on the production process and conditions. Products from one production facility can differ within an acceptable range from those produced in another facility. Similarly, physicochemical differences can also exist among different lots of the same product produced at the same facility. The physicochemical complexity and size of biologics creates significant technical and scientific challenges in their replication as biosimilar products. Accordingly, the technical complexity involved and expertise and technical skill required to successfully develop and manufacture biosimilars poses significant barriers to entry. Any difficulties encountered in developing and producing, or any inability to develop and produce, biosimilars could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Even if we are able to obtain regulatory approval for our generic and biosimilar product candidates as therapeutically equivalent or interchangeable, state pharmacy boards or agencies may conclude that our products are not substitutable at

53

Table of Contents

the pharmacy level for the corresponding reference product. If our generic or biosimilar products are not substitutable at the pharmacy level for the corresponding reference product, this could materially reduce sales of our products and our business would suffer.
 
Although the FDA may determine that a generic product is therapeutically equivalent to a reference product and provide it with an “A” rating in the FDA’s Orange Book, this designation is not binding on state pharmacy boards or agencies for generic drugs. As a result, in states that do not deem our generic drugs and product candidates therapeutically equivalent, physicians will be required to specifically prescribe a generic product alternative rather than have a routine substitution at the pharmacy level for the prescribed reference product. Should this occur with respect to one of our generic drugs or product candidates, it could materially reduce sales in those states which would substantially harm our business.
 
While a designation of interchangeability is a finding by the FDA that a biosimilar can be substituted at the pharmacy without physician intervention or prescription, reference product pharmaceutical companies are lobbying state legislatures and the FDA to enact physician prescription requirements, or in the absence of a prescription, physician and patient notification requirements, special labeling requirements and unique naming requirements for biosimilars which if enacted could create barriers to substitution and adoption rates of interchangeable biologics as well as non-interchangeable biosimilars. Should this occur with respect to one of our biosimilars or interchangeable biologic product candidates in a discriminatory manner, it could materially reduce sales in those states which would substantially harm our business. To date, the FDA has adopted, but not implemented, a non-discriminatory policy that would apply the same non-proprietary naming requirements to reference products.

If nonclinical studies and clinical trials are required for regulatory approval of our product candidates and are delayed or are not successful, we may incur additional costs, experience delays in obtaining, or ultimately be unable to obtain regulatory approval for commercial sale of those product candidates.
 
To obtain regulatory approval for the commercial sale of our novel product candidates, we are required to demonstrate through nonclinical studies and clinical trials that our product candidates are safe and effective. Nonclinical studies and clinical trials of novel product candidates are lengthy and expensive and there is a high probability of significant delays to or failure of novel product candidates during nonclinical studies or clinical trials.

To obtain regulatory approval for the commercial sale of our biosimilar product candidates, the BPCI Act requires nonclinical studies and clinical trials to demonstrate biosimilarity, unless the FDA in its discretion determines such studies and trials are not necessary.
 
A delay or failure of one of our product candidates during nonclinical studies or clinical trials, if required, can occur at any stage of testing. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, nonclinical studies and clinical trials, if required, that could delay or prevent our ability to receive regulatory approval or commercialize our product candidates, including:
 
regulators or institutional review boards may not authorize us to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;

our nonclinical studies or clinical trials may produce negative or inconclusive results, and we may be required to conduct additional nonclinical studies or clinical trials or we may abandon projects that we previously expected to be promising;

enrollment in our clinical trials may be slower than we anticipate, resulting in significant delays, and participants may drop out of our clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;

we might have to suspend or terminate our clinical trials if the participants are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;

regulators or institutional review boards may require that we hold, suspend or terminate clinical research for various reasons, including noncompliance with regulatory requirements or if, in their opinion, participants are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;

the cost of our clinical trials may be greater than we anticipate;


54

Table of Contents

the effects of our product candidates may not be the desired effects or may include undesirable side effects or our product candidates may have other unexpected characteristics; and

we may decide to modify or expand the clinical trials we are undertaking if new agents are introduced that influence current standard of care and medical practice, warranting a revision to our clinical development plan.
 
The results from nonclinical studies of a product candidate and in initial human clinical studies of a product candidate may not predict the results that will be obtained in subsequent human clinical trials, if required. If we are required by regulatory authorities to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of our product candidates that we did not anticipate, if we are unable to successfully complete our clinical trials or other tests, or if the results of these trials are not positive or are only modestly positive, we may be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidates or we may not be able to obtain marketing approval at all. Our product development costs will also increase if we experience delays in testing or approvals. Significant clinical trial delays could allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to commercialize our product candidates. If any of these events occur, our business will be materially harmed.
 
Failure to obtain regulatory approval in foreign jurisdictions would prevent us from marketing our products abroad.
 
We intend in the future to market our products, if approved, outside of the United States, either directly or through collaborative partners. In order to market our products in the European Union and many other foreign jurisdictions, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with the numerous and varying regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction. The approval procedure and requirements vary among countries, and can require, among other things, conducting additional testing in each jurisdiction. The time required to obtain approval abroad may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. The foreign regulatory approval process may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval, and we may not obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, and approval by one foreign regulatory authority does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in any other foreign country or by the FDA. We and our collaborators may not be able to file for regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in any market outside of the United States. The failure to obtain these approvals could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Even if we obtain regulatory approvals, our marketed products will be subject to ongoing regulatory review. If we fail to comply with continuing United States and foreign regulations, we could lose our approvals to market products and our business would be seriously harmed.
 
Even after approval, any pharmaceutical products we develop will be subject to ongoing regulatory review, including the review of clinical results that are reported after our products are made commercially available. Any regulatory approvals that we obtain for our product candidates may also be subject to limitations on the approved indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to the conditions of approval, or contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing testing, including Phase 4 clinical trials, and surveillance to monitor the safety and efficacy of the product candidate. In addition, the manufacturer and manufacturing facilities we use to produce any of our product candidates will be subject to periodic review and inspection by the FDA, or foreign equivalent, and other regulatory agencies. We will be required to report any serious and unexpected adverse experiences and certain quality problems with our products and make other periodic reports to the FDA. The discovery of any new or previously unknown problems with the product, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions on the product or manufacturer or facility, including withdrawal of the product from the market. Certain changes to an approved product, including in the way it is manufactured or promoted, often require prior FDA approval before the product as modified may be marketed. If we fail to comply with applicable FDA regulatory requirements, we may be subject to fines, warning letters, civil penalties, refusal by the FDA to approve pending applications or supplements, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls and seizures, injunctions, operating restrictions, refusal to permit the import or export of products, and/or criminal prosecutions and penalties.
 
Similarly, our commercial activities will be subject to comprehensive compliance obligations under state and federal reimbursement, Sunshine Act, anti-kickback and government pricing regulations. If we make false price reports, fail to implement adequate compliance controls or our employees violate the laws and regulations governing relationships with health care providers, we could also be subject to substantial fines and penalties, criminal prosecution and debarment from participation in the Medicare, Medicaid, or other government reimbursement programs.
 
In addition, the FDA’s policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit, or delay regulatory approval of our product candidates. For example, in December 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act, or Cures Act, was signed into law. The Cures Act, among other things, is intended to modernize the regulation of drugs, and to

55

Table of Contents

spur innovation, but its ultimate implementation remains unclear. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature, or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained and we may not achieve or sustain profitability, which would adversely affect our business.

If third-party payers do not adequately reimburse customers for any of our approved products, they might not be purchased or used, and our revenue and profits will not develop or increase.

Our revenue and profits will depend heavily upon the availability of adequate reimbursement for the use of our approved product candidates from governmental and other third-party payers, both in the United States and in foreign markets. Reimbursement by a third-party payer may depend upon a number of factors, including the third-party payer’s determination that use of a product is:

a covered benefit under its health plan;

safe, effective and medically necessary;

appropriate for the specific patient;

cost-effective; and

neither experimental nor investigational.

Obtaining coverage and reimbursement approval for a product from each government or other third-party payer is a time-consuming and costly process that could require us to provide supporting scientific, clinical and cost-effectiveness data for the use of our products to each payer. We may not be able to provide data sufficient to gain acceptance with respect to coverage and reimbursement. There is substantial uncertainty whether any particular payer will reimburse the use of any product incorporating new technology. Even when a payer determines that a product is eligible for reimbursement, the payer may impose coverage limitations that preclude payment for some uses that are approved by the FDA or comparable authority. Moreover, eligibility for coverage does not imply that any product will be reimbursed in all cases or at a rate that allows us to make a profit or even cover our costs. Interim payments for new products, if applicable, may also not be sufficient to cover our costs and may not be made permanent. Reimbursement rates may vary according to the use of the product and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on payments allowed for lower-cost products that are already reimbursed, may be incorporated into existing payments for other products or services, and may reflect budgetary constraints and/or imperfections in Medicare, Medicaid or other data used to calculate these rates. Net prices for products may be reduced by mandatory discounts or rebates required by government health care programs or by any future relaxation of laws that restrict imports of certain medical products from countries where they may be sold at lower prices than in the United States.

There have been, and we expect that there will continue to be, federal and state proposals to constrain expenditures for medical products and services, which may affect payments for our products. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, frequently change product descriptors, coverage policies, product and service codes, payment methodologies and reimbursement values. Third-party payers often follow Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement rates, and both CMS and other third-party payers may have sufficient market power to demand significant price reductions. Due in part to actions by third-party payers, the health care industry is experiencing a trend toward containing or reducing costs through various means, including lowering reimbursement rates, limiting therapeutic class coverage and negotiating reduced payment schedules with service providers for drug products.

We also anticipate that application of the existing and evolving reimbursement regimes to biosimilar products will be somewhat uncertain. In the 2016 Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule, CMS made it clear that the payment amount for a biosimilar is based on the average sales price of all products included within the same billing and payment code. In general, this means that CMS will group biosimilar products that rely on a common reference product’s biologics license application into the same payment calculation, and these products will share a common payment limit and billing code. Separate codes could reduce or significantly impair the value of interchangeability of the biosimilar. However, it is unclear what effect this will have on private payers. Reimbursement uncertainty could adversely impact market acceptance of biosimilar products.

Our inability to promptly obtain coverage and profitable reimbursement rates from government-funded and private payers for our products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and our overall financial condition.

Federal legislation will increase the pressure to reduce prices of pharmaceutical products paid for by Medicare or may otherwise seek to limit healthcare costs, either of which could adversely affect our revenue, if any.

The MMA changed the way Medicare covers and reimburses for pharmaceutical products. The legislation introduced a new reimbursement methodology based on average sales prices for pharmaceutical products that are used in hospital settings or under the direct supervision of a physician and, starting in 2006, expanded Medicare coverage for pharmaceutical product purchases by the elderly. In addition, the MMA requires the creation of formularies for self-administered pharmaceutical products, and provides authority for limiting the number of pharmaceutical products that will be covered in any therapeutic class and provides for plan sponsors to negotiate prices with manufacturers and suppliers of covered pharmaceutical products. As a result of the MMA and the expansion of federal coverage of pharmaceutical products, we expect continuing pressure to contain and reduce costs of pharmaceutical products. Cost reduction initiatives and other provisions of this legislation could decrease the coverage and price that we receive for our products and could materially adversely affect our operating results and overall financial condition. While the MMA generally applies only to pharmaceutical product benefits for Medicare beneficiaries, private payers often follow Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement policies and any reduction in coverage or payment that results from the MMA may result in a similar reduction in coverage or payments from private payers.

Furthermore, healthcare reform legislation known as the Affordable Care Act that was enacted in 2010 significantly changed the United States health care system and the reimbursement of products. A primary goal of the law is to reduce or limit the growth of health care costs, which could change the market for pharmaceuticals and biological products. The law contains provisions that will affect companies in the pharmaceutical industry and other healthcare-related industries by imposing additional costs and changes to business practices. Provisions affecting pharmaceutical companies include an increase to the mandatory rebates for pharmaceutical products sold into the Medicaid program, an extension of the rebate requirement to pharmaceutical products used in risk-based Medicaid managed care plans, an extension of mandatory discounts for pharmaceutical products sold to certain critical access hospitals, cancer hospitals and other covered entities, and discounts and fees applicable to brand-name pharmaceutical products. Although many of these provisions may not apply directly to us, they may change business practices in our industry and, assuming our products are approved for commercial sale, such changes could adversely impact our profitability. In 2017, members of Congress and the President have sought to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. It is uncertain whether such repeal and replace legislation will be enacted into law, and if enacted, what the impact might be on our business.

Moreover, increasing efforts by governmental and third-party payers, in the United States and abroad, to cap or reduce healthcare costs or introduce price controls or price negotiation may cause the government or other organizations to limit both coverage and level of reimbursement for approved products and, as a result, they may not cover or provide adequate payment for our products and product candidates. We expect to experience pricing pressures in connection with the sale of any of our products and product candidates due to the trend toward managed healthcare, the increasing influence of health maintenance organizations and additional legislative changes. The downward pressure on healthcare costs in general, particularly prescription drugs, surgical procedures and other treatments, has become very intense. As a result, increasingly high barriers are being erected to the entry of new products.

Additionally, the BPCI Act establishes an abbreviated regulatory pathway for the approval of biosimilars and provides that reference products may receive 12 years of market exclusivity, with a possible six-month extension for pediatric products. By creating a new approval pathway for biosimilars and adjusting reimbursement for biosimilars, the new law could promote the development and commercialization of biosimilars. However, given the uncertainty of how the law will be interpreted and implemented, the impact of the law on our strategy for biosimilars as well as novel biologics remains uncertain. Other provisions in the law, such as the comparative effectiveness provisions, may ultimately impact positively or negatively both brand and biosimilars products alike depending on an applicant’s clinical data, effectiveness and cost profile. If a reference product cannot be shown to provide a benefit over other therapies, then it might receive reduced coverage and reimbursement. While this might increase market share for biosimilars based on cost savings, it could also have the effect of reducing biosimilars’ market share.

The full effects of the Affordable Care Act or its repeal and replacement, if enacted, cannot be known until the new law is implemented through regulations or guidance issued by the CMS and other federal and state health care agencies or new legislation is enacted. While we cannot predict whether any legislative or regulatory changes will have negative or positive effects, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and potential profitability. In addition, litigation may prevent some or all of the legislation from taking effect. In 2017 and beyond, we may face additional uncertainties as a result of likely federal and administrative efforts to repeal, substantially modify or invalidate some or all of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. There is no assurance that the Affordable Care Act, as amended in the future, will not

57

Table of Contents

adversely affect our business and financial results, and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform will affect our business.

Foreign governments tend to impose strict price or reimbursement controls, which may adversely affect our revenue, if any.

In some foreign countries, particularly the countries of the European Union, the pricing and/or reimbursement of prescription pharmaceuticals are subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing approval for a product. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost-effectiveness of our product candidate to other available therapies. If reimbursement of our products is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, our business could be adversely affected.

If we do not comply with laws regulating the protection of the environment and health and human safety, our business could be adversely affected.
 
Our research and development involves, and may in the future involve, the use of hazardous materials and chemicals and certain radioactive materials and related equipment. If an accident occurs, we could be held liable for resulting damages, which could be substantial. We are also subject to numerous environmental, health and workplace safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures, exposure to blood-borne pathogens and the handling of biohazardous materials. Insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities, and we do not maintain insurance for environmental liability or toxic tort claims that may be asserted against us. Additional federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting our operations may be adopted in the future. We may incur substantial costs to comply with, and substantial fines or penalties if we violate, any of these laws or regulations.
 
The FDA has reported that it has a substantial backlog of ANDA filings that have resulted in significant delays in review and approval of applications. As a result, the review and potential approval of our application for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL may be significantly delayed.
 
The FDA has reported that it has a substantial backlog of ANDA filings that have resulted in significant delays in the review and approval of ANDAs and amendments or supplements due to insufficient staffing and resources. Resource constraints have also resulted in significant delays in conducting ANDA-related pre-approval inspections. Until the backlog of ANDA filings is reduced, our application for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL and any supplements may be subject to significant delays during their review cycles, which may adversely affect our business and financial condition. In addition, from time to time the federal government implements hiring freezes, such as the one implemented in early 2017, which could also impact the review and potential approval of our application for GLATOPA 40 mg/mL and, as a result, may adversely affect our business and financial condition.
 
Risks Relating to Intellectual Property
 
If we are not able to obtain and enforce patent protection for our discoveries, our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates will be harmed, and we may not be able to operate our business profitably.
 
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under the patent and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries, so that we can prevent others from using our inventions and proprietary information. Because patent applications in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all, and because publications of discoveries in scientific literature lag behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we were the first to make the inventions claimed in issued patents or pending patent applications, or that we were the first to file for protection of the inventions set forth in our patent applications. As a result, we may be required to obtain licenses under third-party patents to market our proposed products. If licenses are not available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, we will not be able to market the affected products.
 
Assuming the other requirements for patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application is entitled to the patent. We may be subject to a third-party preissuance submission of prior art to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or U.S. PTO, or become involved in opposition, derivation, reexamination, IPR, or interference proceedings challenging our patent rights or the patent rights of others. For example, several of our European patents are being challenged in opposition proceedings before the European Patent Office. An adverse determination in any such submission, proceeding or litigation could reduce the scope of, or invalidate, our patent rights, allow third parties to commercialize our technology or products and compete directly with us, without payment to us, or result in our inability to manufacture or commercialize products without infringing third-party patent rights.

Our strategy depends on our ability to rapidly identify and seek patent protection for our discoveries. This process is expensive and time consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner.
 
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may be able to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The issuance of a patent does not guarantee that it is valid or enforceable, so even if we obtain patents, they may not be valid or enforceable against third parties.

Our pending patent applications may not result in issued patents. The patent position of pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, including ours, is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual considerations. The standards which the U.S. PTO and its foreign counterparts use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change. There is also no uniform, worldwide policy regarding the subject matter and scope of claims granted or allowable in pharmaceutical or biotechnology patents. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary information to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and many companies have encountered significant problems and costs in protecting their proprietary information in these foreign countries.
 
The breadth of patent claims allowed in any patents issued to us or to others may be unclear. The allowance of broader claims may increase the incidence and cost of patent interference proceedings and/or opposition proceedings, and the risk of infringement litigation. On the other hand, the allowance of narrower claims may limit the value of our proprietary rights. Our issued patents may not contain claims sufficiently broad to protect us against third parties with similar technologies or products, or provide us with any competitive advantage. Moreover, once they have issued, our patents and any patent for which we have licensed or may license rights may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or circumvented. If our patents are invalidated or otherwise limited, other companies will be better able to develop products that compete with ours, which could adversely affect our competitive business position, business prospects and financial condition.
 
We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology, which are not protected by patents, to maintain our competitive position. If any trade secret, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Third parties may allege that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, forcing us to expend substantial resources in resulting litigation, the outcome of which would be uncertain. Any unfavorable outcome of such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
 
The issuance of our own patents does not guarantee that we have the right to practice the patented inventions. Third parties may have blocking patents that could be used to prevent us from marketing our own patented product and practicing our own patented technology.
 
If any party asserts that we are infringing its intellectual property rights or that our creation or use of proprietary technology infringes upon its intellectual property rights, we might be forced to incur expenses to respond to and litigate the claims. Furthermore, we may be ordered to pay damages, potentially including treble damages, if we are found to have willfully infringed a party’s patent rights. In addition, if we are unsuccessful in litigation, or pending the outcome of litigation, a court could issue a temporary injunction or a permanent injunction preventing us from marketing and selling the patented drug or other technology for the life of the patent that we have been alleged or deemed to have infringed. Litigation concerning intellectual property and proprietary technologies is widespread and can be protracted and expensive, and can distract management and other key personnel from performing their duties for us.
 
Any legal action against us or our collaborators claiming damages and seeking to enjoin any activities, including commercial activities relating to the affected products, and processes could, in addition to subjecting us to potential liability for damages, require us or our collaborators to obtain a license in order to continue to manufacture or market the affected products and processes. Any license required under any patent may not be made available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore, our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us.
 
If we fail to obtain a required license or are unable to design around a patent, we may be unable to effectively market some of our technology and products, which could limit our ability to generate revenue or achieve profitability and possibly prevent us from generating revenue sufficient to sustain our operations.

If we remain involved in patent litigation or other proceedings to determine or enforce our intellectual property rights, we could incur substantial costs or experience delays that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We may need to continue to resort to litigation to enforce a patent issued to us or to determine the scope and validity of a third-party patent or other proprietary rights such as trade secrets in jurisdictions where we intend to market our products, including the United States, the European Union, and many other foreign jurisdictions. The cost to us of any litigation or other proceeding relating to determining the validity of intellectual property rights, or any delays to the development of our product candidates resulting from such litigation or other proceeding, even if the litigation or proceeding is resolved in our favor, could be substantial and could divert our management’s efforts. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs and resulting development delays of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they may have substantially greater resources. Moreover, the failure to obtain a favorable outcome in any litigation in a jurisdiction where there is a claim of patent infringement could significantly delay the marketing of our products in that particular jurisdiction and could ultimately lead to a decision to discontinue a program. Counterclaims for damages and other relief may be triggered by such enforcement actions. The costs, uncertainties and counterclaims resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could limit our ability to continue our operations.
 
We in-license a portion of our proprietary technologies, and if we fail to comply with our obligations under any of the related agreements, we could lose license rights that are necessary to develop our product candidates.
 
We are a party to and rely on a number of in-license agreements with third parties, such as those with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Rockefeller University, which give us rights to intellectual property that may be necessary for certain parts of our business. In addition, we expect to enter into additional licenses in the future. Our current in-license arrangements impose various diligence, development, royalty and other obligations on us. If we breach our obligations with regard to our exclusive in-licenses, they could be converted to non-exclusive licenses or the agreements could be terminated, which would result in our being unable to develop, manufacture and sell products that are covered by the licensed technology.
 
Risks Relating to Our Dependence on Third Parties
 
The 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement is important to our business. If Sandoz AG fails to adequately perform under this collaboration, or if we or Sandoz AG terminate all or a portion of this collaboration, the development and commercialization of some of our products and product candidates, including GLATOPA 20 mg/mL and GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, would be impacted, delayed or terminated and our business would be adversely affected.
 
Either we or Sandoz AG may terminate the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement for material uncured breaches or certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency by the other party. For some of the products, for any termination of the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement other than a termination by Sandoz AG due to our uncured breach or bankruptcy, or a termination by us alone due to the need for clinical trials, we will be granted an exclusive license under certain intellectual property of Sandoz AG to develop and commercialize the particular product. In that event, we would need to expand our internal capabilities or enter into another collaboration, which could cause significant delays that could prevent us from completing the development and commercialization of such product. For some products, if Sandoz AG terminates the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement due to our uncured breach or bankruptcy, or if there is a termination by us alone due to the need for clinical trials, Sandoz AG would retain the exclusive right to develop and commercialize the applicable product. In that event, we would no longer have any influence over the development or commercialization strategy of such product. In addition, for other products, if Sandoz AG terminates due to our uncured breach or bankruptcy, Sandoz AG retains a right to license certain of our intellectual property without the obligation to make any additional payments for such licenses. For certain products, if the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement is terminated other than due to our uncured breach or bankruptcy, neither party will have a license to the other party’s intellectual property. In that event, we would need to expand our internal capabilities or enter into another collaboration, which, if we were able to do so, could cause significant delays that could prevent us from completing the development and commercialization of such product. Any alternative collaboration could also be on less favorable terms to us. Accordingly, if the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement is terminated, our introduction of certain products may be significantly delayed, or our revenue may be significantly reduced, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Under our collaboration agreement, we are dependent upon Sandoz AG to successfully continue to commercialize GLATOPA 20 mg/mL and are significantly dependent on Sandoz AG to successfully commercialize GLATOPA 40 mg/mL. We do not fully control Sandoz AG’s commercialization activities or the resources it allocates to our products. While the 2006 Sandoz Collaboration Agreement contemplates joint decision making and alignment, our interests and Sandoz AG’s interests may differ or conflict from time-to-time or we may disagree with Sandoz AG’s level of effort or resource allocation. Sandoz AG may internally prioritize our products and product candidates differently than we do or it may fail to allocate sufficient

60

Table of Contents

resources to effectively or optimally commercialize our products and alignment may only be achieved through dispute resolution. If these events were to occur, our business would be adversely affected.
 
The development and commercialization of our lead biosimilar product candidate, M923, could be delayed or terminated as a result of the termination of the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, and our business may be adversely affected.
 
On September 27, 2016, Baxalta gave us twelve months’ prior written notice of the exercise of its right to terminate for its convenience the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, or the Baxalta Termination. On December 31, 2016, we and Baxalta entered into an Asset Return and Termination Agreement pursuant to which the effective date of the Baxalta Termination was December 31, 2016. Following the effective date of the Baxalta Termination, Baxalta is not obligated to continue to perform development, manufacturing or commercialization activities for M923 except for certain transitional clinical and regulatory activities, the majority of which have been completed. There could be changes or delays in the timing of the M923 program in connection with the return of the M923 program to us.

In addition, following the effective date of the Baxalta Termination, we have the right to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize M923 or license a third party to do so. In the event we elect to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize M923 by ourselves, we would need to expand our internal capabilities, in connection with which there could be significant delays in the M923 program. In the event we elect to license M923 to a third party, the terms of such a license and collaboration could be less favorable than those under the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, and finding and negotiating a new collaboration could cause significant delays in the M923 program. Any of the delays described above could prevent us from commercializing M923. In addition, we may need to seek additional financing to support the research, development and commercialization of M923, or alternatively we may decide to discontinue M923, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
The Mylan Collaboration Agreement is important to our business. If we or Mylan fail to adequately perform under the Agreement, or if we or Mylan terminate the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, the development and commercialization of one or more of our biosimilar candidates, including M834, could be delayed or terminated and our business would be adversely affected.
 
The Mylan Collaboration Agreement may be terminated by either party for breach by, or bankruptcy of, the other party; for its convenience; or for certain activities involving competing products or the challenge of certain patents. Other than in the case of a termination for convenience, the terminating party shall have the right to continue the development, manufacture and commercialization of the terminated products in the terminated countries. In the case of a termination for convenience, the other party shall have the right to continue. If a termination occurs, the licenses granted to the non-continuing party for the applicable product will terminate for the terminated country. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the party that has the right to continue the development or commercialization of a given product candidate may retain royalty-bearing licenses to certain intellectual property rights, and rights to certain data, for the continued development and sale of the applicable product in the country or countries for which termination applies.
 
If the Mylan Collaboration Agreement were terminated and we had the right to continue the development and commercialization of one or more terminated products, to fully exercise that right, we would need to expand our internal capabilities or enter into another collaboration, which, if we were able to do so, could cause significant delays that could prevent us from commercializing those products. Any alternative collaboration could be on less favorable terms to us. In addition, we may need to seek additional financing to support the development and commercialization of any terminated products, or alternatively we may decide to discontinue one or more terminated products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If the Mylan Collaboration Agreement were terminated and Mylan had the right to continue the development and commercialization of one or more terminated products, we would have no influence or input into those activities.
 
Under the Mylan Collaboration Agreement, we are dependent upon Mylan to successfully perform its responsibilities and activities, including conducting clinical trials for certain products and leading the commercialization of products. We do not control Mylan’s execution of its responsibilities, including commercialization activities, or the resources it allocates to our products. Our interests and Mylan’s interests may differ or conflict from time to time, or we may disagree with Mylan’s level of effort or resource allocation. Mylan may internally prioritize our products and product candidates differently than we do or it may not allocate sufficient resources to effectively or optimally execute its responsibilities or activities. If these events were to occur, our business would be adversely affected.

The CSL License Agreement is important to our business. If we or CSL fail to adequately perform under the Agreement, or if we or CSL terminate the Agreement, the development and commercialization of our novel therapeutic, M230, could be delayed or terminated and our business would be adversely affected.
 
CSL may terminate the CSL License Agreement on a product-by-product basis subject to notice periods and certain circumstances related to clinical development. We may terminate the CSL License Agreement under certain circumstances related to the development of M230 and if no activities are being conducted under the CSL License Agreement. Either party may terminate the Agreement on a product-by-product basis if certain patent challenges are made, on a product-by-product for material breaches, or due to the other party’s bankruptcy. Upon termination of the CSL License Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the licenses granted under the CSL License Agreement terminate. In addition, dependent upon the circumstances under which the CSL License Agreement is terminated, we or CSL have the right to continue the research, development, and commercialization of terminated products, including rights to certain data, for the continued development and sale of terminated products and, subject to certain limitations, obligations to make sales-based royalty payments to the other party.
 
If the CSL License Agreement were terminated and we had the right to continue the research, development, and commercialization of one or more terminated products, to fully exercise that right, we would need to expand our internal capabilities or enter into another collaboration, which, if we were able to do so, could cause significant delays that could prevent us from commercializing those products. Any alternative collaboration could be on less favorable terms to us. In addition, we may need to seek additional financing to support the research, development and commercialization of any terminated products, or alternatively we may decide to discontinue one or more terminated products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If the CSL License Agreement were terminated and CSL had the right to continue the development and commercialization of one or more terminated products, we would have no influence or input into those activities.
 
Under the CSL License Agreement, we are dependent upon CSL to successfully perform its responsibilities and activities, including the research, development and commercialization of M230 and research on other Fc multimer proteins. We do not control CSL’s execution of its responsibilities or the resources it allocates to our products and product candidates. Our interests and CSL’s interests may differ or conflict from time to time, or we may disagree with CSL’s level of effort or resource allocation. CSL may internally prioritize our products and product candidates differently than we do or it may not allocate sufficient resources to effectively or optimally execute its responsibilities or activities. If these events were to occur, our business would be adversely affected.
 
We may need to enter into additional strategic alliances with other companies that can provide capabilities and funds for the development and commercialization of our product candidates. If we are unsuccessful in forming or maintaining these arrangements on favorable terms, we may have to alter our development and commercialization plans, and our business could be adversely affected.
 
Because we have limited internal capabilities for late-stage product development, manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, we may need to enter into strategic alliances with other companies in addition to our current alliances with Sandoz, Mylan and CSL. In such alliances, we would expect our collaboration partners to provide substantial capabilities in clinical development, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, sales and marketing. We may not be successful in entering into any such alliances as a result of many factors including the following:

competition in seeking appropriate collaborators;
restrictions on future strategic alliances in existing strategic alliance agreements;
a reduced number of potential collaborators due to recent business combinations of large pharmaceutical companies;
inability to negotiate strategic alliances on a timely basis; and
inability to negotiate strategic alliances on acceptable terms.

Even if we do succeed in securing such alliances, we may not be able to maintain them or they may be unsuccessful. We may be unable to maintain a strategic alliance if the development or approval of a product candidate that is the subject of the alliance is delayed or sales of an approved product that is the subject of the alliance are disappointing. The success of our collaboration agreements will depend heavily on the efforts and activities of our collaborators. Collaborators generally have significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources that they will apply to these collaborations. Any such alliance would entail numerous operational and financial risks, including significant integration and implementation challenges that

62

Table of Contents

could disrupt our business and divert our management's time and attention. If we are unable to secure or maintain such alliances or if such alliances are unsuccessful, we may not have the capabilities necessary to continue or complete development of our product candidates and bring them to market, which may have an adverse effect on our business.
 
In addition to product development and commercialization capabilities, we may depend on our alliances with other companies to provide substantial additional funding for development and potential commercialization of our product candidates. These arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products which we would otherwise pursue on our own. These alliances may also involve the other company purchasing a significant number of shares of our common stock. Future alliances may involve similar or greater sales of equity, debt financing or other funding arrangements. We may not be able to obtain funding on favorable terms from these alliances, and if we are not successful in doing so, we may not have sufficient funds to develop a particular product candidate internally or to bring product candidates to market. Failure to bring our product candidates to market will prevent us from generating sales revenue, and this may substantially harm our business. Furthermore, any delay in entering into these alliances could delay the development and commercialization of our product candidates and reduce their competitiveness even if they reach the market. As a result, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.
 
If we are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may be unable to generate product revenue.
 
We do not have a sales organization and have no experience as a company in the sale, marketing or distribution of pharmaceutical products. There are risks involved with establishing our own sales and marketing capabilities, as well as entering into arrangements with third parties to perform these services. For example, developing a sales force is expensive and time consuming and could delay any product launch. In addition, to the extent that we enter into arrangements with third parties to perform sales, marketing or distribution services, we will have less control over sales of our products and our future revenue would depend heavily on the success of the efforts of these third parties.
 
A significant change in the business operations of, a change in the financial condition of, a change in senior executive management within, or a change in control of our third-party collaborators, or any future collaboration partners or third party manufacturers could have a negative impact on our business operations.
 
Since many of our product candidates are developed under collaborations or licenses with third parties, we do not have sole decision making authority with respect to commercialization or development of those product candidates. We have built relationships and work collaboratively with our third-party collaborators and manufacturers to ensure the success of our development and commercialization efforts. A significant change in the senior management team, a change in the financial condition or a change in the business operations, including a change in control or internal corporate restructuring, of any of our collaboration partners or third-party manufacturers, could result in delayed timelines on our products. In addition, we may have to re-establish working relationships and familiarize new counterparts with our products and business. Any such change may result in the collaboration partner or third party manufacturer internally re-prioritizing our programs or decreasing resources or funding allocated to support our programs. For example, in June 2016, Baxalta Incorporated and Shire announced the completion of a combination of Baxalta Incorporated and Shire, as a result of which Baxalta Incorporated became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shire. On September 27, 2016, Baxalta gave us twelve months’ prior written notice of the exercise of its right to terminate for its convenience the Baxalta Collaboration Agreement, and on December 31, 2016, we and Baxalta entered into an Asset Return and Termination Agreement pursuant to which the effective date of the Baxalta Termination was December 31, 2016. As a result, there could be changes or delays in the timing of the M923 program in connection with the return of the M923 program to us. Similar changes with respect to any of our other collaborators may negatively impact our business operations.
 
General Company Related Risks
 
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
 
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws may delay or prevent an acquisition of us or a change in our management. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team. These provisions include:
 

63

Table of Contents

a classified board of directors;

a prohibition on actions by our stockholders by written consent; and

limitations on the removal of directors.
 
Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibit a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Finally, these provisions establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholder meetings. These provisions would apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.
 
Our stock price may be volatile, and purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.
 
The stock market in general and the market prices for securities of biotechnology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. The trading price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. Furthermore, our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:
 
delays in achievement of, or failure to achieve, program milestones that are associated with the valuation of our company or significant milestone revenue;

failure of GLATOPA 20 mg/mL to sustain profitable sales or market share that meet expectations of securities analysts;

adverse FDA decisions relating to our GLATOPA programs, including any FDA decision to delay approval of the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL ANDA until satisfactory resolution of the compliance observations in the FDA's February 2017 warning letter to Pfizer, Sandoz’ third party fill/finish manufacturing partner for GLATOPA, and an FDA decision to require additional data, including requiring clinical trials, as a condition to the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL ANDA approval;

litigation involving our company or our general industry or both, including litigation pertaining to the launch of our collaborative partners’ or our competitors’ products, including without limitation, a decision in the GLATOPA 40 mg/mL patent litigation or a competitors’ related patent litigation that prevents the launch or delays the launch of our GLATOPA 40 mg/mL product;

a decision in favor of, or against, Amphastar in our patent litigation suits, a settlement related to any case; or a decision in favor of third parties in antitrust litigation filed against us;

announcements by other companies regarding the status of their ANDAs for generic versions of COPAXONE;

FDA approval of other companies’ ANDAs for generic versions of COPAXONE;

marketing and/or launch of other companies’ generic versions of COPAXONE;

adverse FDA decisions regarding the development requirements for one of our biosimilar product candidates or failure of our other product applications to meet the requirements for regulatory review and/or approval;

results or delays in our or our competitors’ clinical trials or regulatory filings;

enactment of legislation that repeals the law enacting the biosimilar regulatory approval pathway or amends the law in a manner that is adverse to our biosimilar development strategy;

failure to demonstrate therapeutic equivalence with respect to our technology-enabled generic product candidate, GLATOPA 40 mg/mL, or biosimilarity or interchangeability with respect to our biosimilar product candidates such as M923 or M834;

demonstration of or failure to demonstrate the safety and efficacy for our novel product candidates;


64

Table of Contents

our inability to manufacture any products in conformance with cGMP or in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements for the commercial sale of the product or to meet market demand;

failure of any of our product candidates, if approved, to achieve commercial success;

the discovery of unexpected or increased incidence in patients’ adverse reactions to the use of our products or product candidates or indications of other safety concerns;

developments or disputes concerning our patents or other proprietary rights;

changes in estimates of our financial results or recommendations by securities analysts;

termination of any of our product development and commercialization collaborations;

significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;

investors’ general perception of our company, our products, the economy and general market conditions;

rapid or disorderly sales of stock by holders of significant amounts of our stock; or

significant fluctuations in the price of securities generally or biotechnology company securities specifically.
 
If any of these factors cause an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition, the price of our common stock could fall and investors may not be able to sell their common stock at or above their respective purchase prices.
 
We could be subject to class action litigation due to stock price volatility, which, if it occurs, will distract our management and could result in substantial costs or large judgments against us.
 
The stock market in general has recently experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. In addition, the market prices of securities of companies in the biotechnology industry have been extremely volatile and have experienced fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of or other events at these companies. These fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market prices of their securities. We may be the target of similar litigation in the future. For example, we are aware that several law firms have announced investigations of potential claims against the Company concerning possible violations of federal securities laws in connection with our February 17, 2017, announcement of the FDA warning letter to Sandoz’ third party fill/finish manufacturing partner for GLATOPA. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, which could cause serious harm to our business, operating results and financial condition.

AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Agreement and General Release (hereinafter “Agreement” or “Agreement and General Release”) is made by and between Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Momenta” or the “Company”) and Matthew Ottmer (“Mr. Ottmer” or “Employee”). In order to resolve all matters relating to Mr. Ottmer’s employment, including but not limited to issues relating to the cessation of Mr. Ottmer’s employment, Momenta and Mr. Ottmer (collectively referred to as “the Parties”), voluntarily agree that:

1.     Last Day of Employment . Mr. Ottmer’s last day of employment with Momenta will be May 1, 2017, referred to as the “date of termination.” Payment of all salary will cease as of Mr. Ottmer ' s last day of employment, as will his right to participate in Momenta benefit programs unless otherwise permitted by law or provided for in this Agreement. Payment of all final pay for time worked through May 1, 2017, and payment for all accrued but unused vacation time that Mr. Ottmer may have, less applicable deductions, will be made on May 1, 2017.

2.     Consideration . In consideration for Mr. Ottmer signing this Agreement and General Release, and complying with its terms, Momenta agrees in accordance with and pursuant to Mr. Ottmer’s Employment Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2015 (the “Employment Agreement”) to provide the following separation benefits:

a. Four hundred sixty three thousand five hundred dollars ($463,500.00), representing an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Mr. Ottmer’s gross base salary as of the date of termination, less lawful deductions, to be paid in equal ratable installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices over the twelve (12) month period beginning on the next payroll date following the 60th day after the date of termination;

b. Two Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Two Hundred Eighty One Dollars ($252,281.00), less lawful deductions, representing the annual discretionary target bonus for Mr. Ottmer for fiscal year 2017, to be paid in one lump sum on the next payroll date following the 60 th day after the date of termination;

c. if Mr. Ottmer is eligible for and timely elects to continue his medical and/or dental health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA, the Company shall continue to contribute, until the earlier of twelve (12) months following the date of termination or the date on which Mr. Ottmer becomes eligible to receive group medical and/or dental insurance coverage through a new employer (the “Contribution Period”), toward the cost of Mr. Ottmer’s COBRA premiums the same amount that it pays on behalf of active and similarly situated employees receiving the same type of coverage. The remaining balance of any premium costs, and all premium costs after the Contribution Period, shall be paid by Mr. Ottmer on a monthly basis. After the Contribution Period, Mr. Ottmer may continue receiving coverage under COBRA at his own cost if and to the extent that he remains eligible for COBRA continuation. Mr. Ottmer agrees that he shall notify the Company in writing immediately following the date on which he becomes eligible for group medical and/or dental insurance coverage through another employer;

d. the Company shall continue to provide benefits to Mr. Ottmer in accordance with any applicable life insurance, accident and/or disability plans under which he was eligible as of the date of termination consistent with such benefits as may be provided to active and similarly situated employees covered by such plans, until the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months following the date of termination or (ii the date on which Mr. Ottmer becomes eligible to receive substantially comparable coverage through a new employer (the “Extended Benefits Period”); provided, however, that if such plans do not permit continued coverage of Mr. Ottmer following the date of termination, the Company shall instead reimburse Mr. Ottmer for the reasonable cost of purchasing substantially comparable coverage during the Extended Benefits Period. Mr. Ottmer agrees that he shall notify the Company in writing immediately following the date on which he becomes eligible for life insurance, accident and/or disability coverage through a new employer. The benefits provided and/or payments made under this subsection shall be in installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, beginning with the payroll date following the 60th day after the date of termination; and

e. Mr. Ottmer shall be entitled to continued vesting of any unvested stock options and any future stock option grants awarded to him after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Outstanding Stock Options”) for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination (the "Extended Vesting Date"), subject to the terms of the applicable plan/stock option grant/award, and the right to exercise any Outstanding Stock Options shall terminate on the earlier of three months after the Extended Vesting Date and the original expiration date of the

1



Outstanding Stock Option (assuming no termination of employment occurred). Mr. Ottmer shall also be entitled to immediate vesting, on the date of termination, of any restricted stock awards with underlying shares that vest solely through the passage of time (i.e., service-based vesting) and not upon the achievement of specified conditions or milestones (i.e., performance-based vesting), including any future restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Ottmer after the date of this Agreement that contain service-based vesting provisions (collectively, "Outstanding Restricted Stock Awards"), in each case that would have vested during the period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination. A schedule identifying the options that will continue to vest, as well as the restricted stock that will continue to vest and the extended exercise period, is attached as Exhibit 1. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the following stock options shall continue to vest: the stock options granted in two tranches on December 10, 2015 and in a tranche dated February 7, 2017; (b) the following shares of service-based restricted stock that would vest due to the passage of time in the next twelve (12) months from the date of termination shall immediately vest upon the date of termination in accordance with its terms; the restricted stock with a grant date of February 7, 2017; and (c) the following performance shares shall expire unvested upon termination of employment in accordance with its terms: the performance shares with a grant date of April 13, 2016. Mr. Ottmer shall have no further rights with respect to any Outstanding Restricted Stock Awards that remain unvested after taking into account the previous two sentences.

f.    The Company agrees to provide Employee outplacement services through Essex Partners, at the Company’s sole expense and at no expense to the Employee, in an amount to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

In no event whatsoever shall the Company or its affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Mr. Ottmer by Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

(b) It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided under section 2 above shall be treated as a separate "payment" for purposes of Section 409A;
(c) If, as of the date of the "separation from service" of the Employee from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A, the Employee is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A), then:
(i) Each installment of the payments and benefits due under Section 2 above that, in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein, will in all circumstances, regardless of when the separation from service occurs, be paid within the Short-Term Deferral Period (as defined under Section 409A) shall be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A and shall be paid at the time and in the manner set forth in the Agreement; and

4



(ii) Each installment of the payments and benefits due under Section 2 above that is not described in Section 8.1(c)(i) and that would, absent this subsection, be paid within the six-month period following the "separation from service" of the Employee from the Company shall not be paid until the date that is six months and one day after such separation from service (or, if earlier, the Employee's death), with any such installments that are required to be delayed being accumulated during the six-month period and paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one day following the Employee's separation from\ service and any subsequent installments, if any, being paid in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any installment of payments and benefits if and to the maximum extent that that such installment is deemed to be paid under a separation pay plan that does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of the application of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service). Any installments that qualify for the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) must be paid no later than the last day of the Employee's second taxable year following the Employee's taxable year in which the separation from service occurs.
8.2    The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made and in a manner consistent with, and based on the presumptions set forth in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

9.      Nonadmission of Wrongdoing . The Parties agree that neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission by the Released Parties of wrongdoing or evidence of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind.

(d)    Any Shares that again become available for grant pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be added back as: (i) one (1) Share if such Shares were subject to an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan or an option or stock appreciation right granted under any Prior Plan, (ii) as 1.35 Shares if such Shares were subject to Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan prior to June 9, 2015 or if such Shares became available for grant under the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) prior to June 9, 2015, and (iii) as 1.67 Shares if such Shares were subject to Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan on or after June 9, 2015 or if such Shares became available for grant under the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) on or after June 9, 2015.

permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
4.4 At‑Will Employment; Voluntary Participation. Nothing in the Plan or in any Program or Award Agreement hereunder shall confer upon any Holder any right to continue in the employ of, or as a Director or Consultant for, the Company or any Subsidiary, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and any Subsidiary, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge any Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, and with or without notice, or to terminate or change all other terms and conditions of employment or engagement, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Holder and the Company or any Subsidiary.

4.5 Foreign Holders. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in countries other than the United States in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have Employees, Non‑Employee Directors or Consultants, or in order to comply with the requirements of any foreign securities exchange, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (a) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan; (b) determine which Eligible Individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (c) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Eligible Individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws or listing requirements of any such foreign securities exchange; (d) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable (any such subplans and/or modifications shall be attached to the Plan as appendices); provided , however , that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.3; and (e) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals or listing requirements of any such foreign securities exchange.

ARTICLE 5.
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS INTENDED TO QUALIFY AS PERFORMANCE‑BASED COMPENSATION
5.1 Purpose. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine at the time an Award is granted or at any time thereafter whether such Award is intended to qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation. If the Committee, in its sole discretion, decides to grant such an Award to an Eligible Individual that is intended to qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right), then the provisions of this Article 5 shall control over any contrary provision contained in the Plan. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may grant Awards to other Eligible Individuals that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals or any such other criteria and goals as the Administrator shall establish, but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 5 and that are not intended to qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time of grant, the Performance Criteria with respect to an Award intended to be Performance‑Based Compensation payable to a Covered Employee shall be determined on the basis of Applicable Accounting Standards.
5.2 Applicability. The grant of an Award to an Eligible Individual for a particular Performance Period shall not require the grant of an Award to such Eligible Individual in any subsequent Performance Period and the grant of an Award to

8


any one Eligible Individual shall not require the grant of an Award to any other Eligible Individual in such period or in any other period.
5.3 Types of Awards. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant any Award to an Eligible Individual intended to qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation, including, without limitation, Restricted Stock the restrictions with respect to which lapse upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals, Restricted Stock Units that vest and become payable upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals and any Performance Awards described in Article 10 that vest or become exercisable or payable upon the attainment of one or more specified Performance Goals.
5.4 Procedures with Respect to Performance‑Based Awards. To the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted to one or more Eligible Individuals which is intended to qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation, no later than 90 days following the commencement of any Performance Period or any designated fiscal period or period of service (or such earlier time as may be required under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Eligible Individuals, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period based on the Performance Criteria, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether and the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amount earned under such Awards, the Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant, including the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.
5.5 Payment of Performance‑Based Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Program or Award Agreement and only to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, as to an Award that is intended to qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation, the Holder must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary throughout the Performance Period. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Performance Goals, Program or Award Agreement, a Holder shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to such Awards for a Performance Period only if and to the extent the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.
5.6 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan and except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, any Award which is granted to an Eligible Individual and is intended to qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as Performance‑Based Compensation, and the Plan and the applicable Program and Award Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
ARTICLE 6.
GRANTING OF OPTIONS
6.1 Granting of Options to Eligible Individuals. The Administrator is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals from time to time, in its sole discretion, on such terms and conditions as it may determine, which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan.
6.2 Qualification of Incentive Stock Options. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an Employee of the Company or any subsidiary corporation (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) of the Company. No person who qualifies as a Greater Than 10% Stockholder may be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless such Incentive Stock Option conforms to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan may be modified by the Administrator, with the consent of the Holder, to disqualify such Option from treatment as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year under the Plan, and all other plans of the Company and any parent or subsidiary corporation thereof (each as defined in Section 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, respectively), exceeds $100,000, the Options shall be treated as Non‑Qualified Stock Options to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code. The rule set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the respective options were granted.
6.3 Option Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share subject to each Option shall be set by the Administrator, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or, as to Incentive Stock

9


Options, on the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code). In addition, in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, such price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code).
6.4 Option Term. The term of each Option (the “ Option Term ”) shall be set by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided , however , that the Option Term shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, or five (5) years from the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder. The Administrator shall determine the time period, including the time period following a Termination of Service, during which the Holder has the right to exercise the vested Options, which time period may not extend beyond the last day of the Option Term. Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A, the Administrator may extend the Option Term of any outstanding Option, and may extend the time period during which vested Options may be exercised, in connection with any Termination of Service of the Holder, and may amend, subject to Section 14.1, any other term or condition of such Option relating to such a Termination of Service.
6.5 Option Vesting.
(a)    The period during which the right to exercise, in whole or in part, an Option vests in the Holder shall be set by the Administrator and the Administrator may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted. Such vesting may be based on service with the Company or any Subsidiary, any of the Performance Criteria, or any other criteria selected by the Administrator, and, except as limited by the Plan, at any time after the grant of an Option, the Administrator, in its sole discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, may accelerate the period during which an Option vests.
(b)    No portion of an Option which is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator either in the applicable Program, the Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option, or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in the Award Agreement or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Option, the portion of an Option that is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall automatically expire thirty (30) days following such Termination of Service.
6.6 Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6 to the contrary, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the price per share of the Shares subject to such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the excess of: (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the Shares subject to the Substitute Award, over (b) the aggregate exercise price thereof does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction giving rise to the Substitute Award, such fair market value to be determined by the Administrator) of the shares of the predecessor entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate exercise price of such shares.
ARTICLE 7.
EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
7.1 Partial Exercise. An exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part. However, an Option shall not be exercisable with respect to fractional Shares and the Administrator may require that, by the terms of the Option, a partial exercise must be with respect to a minimum number of Shares.
7.2 Manner of Exercise. Unless otherwise indicated in an Award Agreement, all or a portion of an exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to the Secretary of the Company, the stock administrator of the Company or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator, or his, her or its office, as applicable:
(a)    A written or electronic notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Administrator stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option;

The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance including, without limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop‑transfer notices to agents and registrars;

10


(c)    In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 12.3 by any person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator; and
(d)    Full payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes to the stock administrator of the Company for the Shares with respect to which the Option, or portion thereof, is exercised, in a manner permitted by Sections 12.1 and 12.2.
7.3 Notification Regarding Disposition. The Holder shall give the Company prompt written or electronic notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option which occurs within (a) two years from the date of granting (including the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code) such Option to such Holder, or (b) one year after the transfer of such Shares to such Holder.
ARTICLE 8.
AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK
8.1 Award of Restricted Stock.
(a)    The Administrator is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Eligible Individuals, and shall determine the terms and conditions, including the restrictions applicable to each award of Restricted Stock, which terms and conditions shall not be inconsistent with the Plan, and may impose such conditions on the issuance of such Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.
(b)    The Administrator shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Stock; provided , however , that if a purchase price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock.
8.2 Rights as Stockholders. Subject to Section 8.4, upon issuance of Restricted Stock, the Holder shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said Shares, subject to the restrictions in the applicable Program or in each individual Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares; provided , however , that, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, any extraordinary distributions with respect to the Shares shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 8.3. In addition, with respect to a share of Restricted Stock, dividends which are paid prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of Restricted Stock vests.
8.3 Restrictions. All shares of Restricted Stock (including any shares received by Holders thereof with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization) shall, in the terms of the applicable Program or in each individual Award Agreement, be subject to such restrictions and vesting requirements as the Administrator shall provide. Such restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability and such restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times and pursuant to such circumstances or based on such criteria as selected by the Administrator, including, without limitation, criteria based on the Holder’s duration of employment, directorship or consultancy with the Company, the Performance Criteria, Company performance, individual performance or other criteria selected by the Administrator. By action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, accelerate the vesting of such Restricted Stock by removing any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the applicable Program or Award Agreement. Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire.
8.4 Repurchase or Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, if no price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled without consideration. If a price was paid by the Holder for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service during the applicable restriction period, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Holder the unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Holder for such Restricted Stock or such other amount as may be specified in the applicable Program or Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide that upon certain events, including a Change in Control, the Holder’s death, retirement or disability or any other specified Termination of Service or any other event, the Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall not lapse, such Restricted Stock shall vest and, if applicable, the Company shall not have a right of repurchase.

8.5 Certificates for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator shall determine. Certificates or book entries evidencing shares of Restricted Stock shall include an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. The Company, in its sole discretion, may (a) retain physical possession of any stock certificate evidencing shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and/or (b) require that the stock certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock be held in custody by a designated escrow agent (which may but need not be the Company) until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that the Holder deliver a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to such Restricted Stock.
8.6 Section 83(b) Election. If a Holder makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Holder would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Holder shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service along with proof of the timely filing thereof with the Internal Revenue Service.

(c)    In the event that the Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 11.3 by any person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator; and

Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder or the first sentence of this Section 11.4, the Administrator may extend the Stock Appreciation Right Term of any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, and may extend the time period during which vested Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised, in connection with any Termination of Service of the Holder, and may amend, subject to Section 14.1, any other term or condition of such Stock Appreciation Right relating to such a Termination of Service.

ARTICLE 12.
ADDITIONAL TERMS OF AWARDS
12.1 Payment. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payments by any Holder with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan shall be made, including, without limitation: (a) cash or check, (b) Shares (including, in the case of payment of the exercise price of an Award, Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Award) or Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences, in each case, having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate payments required, (c) delivery of a written or electronic notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an Award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (d) any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Administrator in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall also determine the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Holder who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.
12.2 Tax Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Holder to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Holder’s FICA, employment tax or other social security contribution obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Holder arising as a result of the Plan. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, may withhold, or allow a Holder to elect to have the Company withhold, Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the surrender of Shares). The number of Shares which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a fair market value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. The Administrator shall determine the fair market value of the Shares, consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, for tax withholding obligations due in connection with a broker‑assisted cashless Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise involving the sale of Shares to pay the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise price or any tax withholding obligation.
12.3 Transferability of Awards .
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.3(b) and 12.3(c):
(i)    No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed;
(ii)    No Award or interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or the Holder’s successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by Section 12.3(a)(i); and

15


(iii)    During the lifetime of the Holder, only the Holder may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to such Holder under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Holder, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Program or Award Agreement, be exercised by the Holder’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then‑applicable laws of descent and distribution.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 12.3(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Holder to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option to any one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a DRO; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Holder (other than the ability to further transfer the Award); and (iii) the Holder and the Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law and (C) evidence the transfer.
(c)    Notwithstanding Section 12.3(a), a Holder may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Holder and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Holder’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Program or Award Agreement applicable to the Holder, except to the extent the Plan, the Program and the Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Holder is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as the Holder’s beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Holder’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent of the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Holder, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Holder’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Holder at any time; provided that the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator prior to the Holder’s death.
12.4 Conditions to Issuance of Shares .
(a)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such Shares is in compliance with Applicable Law and the Shares are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Holder make such reasonable covenants, agreements and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with Applicable Law.
(b)    All share certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan and all Shares issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop‑transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with Applicable Law. The Administrator may place legends on any share certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares.
(c)    The Administrator shall have the right to require any Holder to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement, distribution or exercise of any Award, including a window‑period limitation, as may be imposed in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
(d)    No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding down.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or required by Applicable Law, the Company shall not deliver to any Holder certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

16


12.5 Forfeiture and Claw‑Back Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the Plan, the Administrator shall have the right to provide, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or to require a Holder to agree by separate written or electronic instrument, that: (i) Any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award, shall be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of the Award (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if (x) a Termination of Service occurs prior to a specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise of the Award, or (y) the Holder at any time, or during a specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with the Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, as further defined by the Administrator or (z) the Holder incurs a Termination of Service for “cause” (as such term is defined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, or as set forth in a written agreement relating to such Award between the Company and the Holder). All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw‑back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw‑back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law, including without limitation the Dodd‑Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw‑back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.
12.6 Prohibition on Repricing. Subject to Section 14.2, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its price per share, or (ii) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock Appreciation Right price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares. Subject to Section 14.2, the Administrator shall have the authority, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, to amend any outstanding Award to increase the price per share or to cancel and replace an Award with the grant of an Award having a price per share that is greater than or equal to the price per share of the original Award. Furthermore, for purposes of this Section 12.6, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split‑up, spin‑off, combination or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price per share of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights without the approval of the stockholders of the Company.
12.7 Minimum Vesting Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Awards (other than cash‑settled Awards) made to Employees, Directors or Consultants shall not vest earlier than the date that is one year following the date the Award is approved by the Administrator; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards that result in the issuance of an aggregate of up to 5% of the Shares available pursuant to Section 3.1 may be granted to any one or more Employees, Directors or Consultants without respect to such minimum vesting provision.

Additionally, to the extent required by Applicable Law, each of the individuals constituting the Committee (or another committee or subcommittee of the Board assuming the functions of the Committee under the Plan) shall be an “independent director” under the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action taken by the Committee shall be valid and effective, whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 13.l or otherwise provided in any charter of the Committee. Except as may otherwise be provided in any charter of the Committee, appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment.

Any such grant or award under the Plan need not be the same with respect to each Holder. Any such interpretations and rules with respect to Incentive Stock Options shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. In its sole discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b‑3 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule, or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, or the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee.

No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may any Award be granted under the Plan after March 14, 2027 (the “ Expiration Date ”). Any Awards that are outstanding on the Expiration Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.
14.2 Changes in Common Stock or Assets of the Company, Acquisition or Liquidation of the Company and Other Corporate Events .
(a)    In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the Shares of the Company’s stock or the share price of the Company’s stock other than an Equity Restructuring, the Administrator may make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to: (i) the aggregate number and kind of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Sections 3.1 and 3.3 on the maximum number and kind of Shares which may be issued under the Plan, and adjustments of the Award Limit, and adjustments of the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted); (ii) the number and kind of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) (iii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (iv) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan.

19


action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles:
(i)    To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 14.2 the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested;
(ii)    To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;
(iii)    To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares of the Company’s stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards and Awards which may be granted in the future;
(iv)    To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Program or Award Agreement; and
(v)    To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.
(c)    In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14.2(a) and 14.2(b):
(i)    The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and/or the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted; and/or
(ii)    The Administrator shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Sections 3.1 and 3.3 on the maximum number and kind of Shares which may be issued under the Plan, adjustments of the Award Limit, and adjustments of the manner in which Shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted). The adjustments provided under this Section 14.2(c) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Holder and the Company.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall continue in effect or be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation.
(e)    In the event that the successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Administrator may cause any or all of such Awards to become fully exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on any or all of such Awards to lapse. If an Award is exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Holder that the Award shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, contingent upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.
(f)    For the purposes of this Section 14.2, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)

20


received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided , however , that if such consideration received in the Change in Control was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to an Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per‑share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.
(g)    The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may include such further provisions and limitations in any Award, agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.
(h)    With respect to Awards which are granted to Covered Employees and are intended to qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation, no adjustment or action described in this Section 14.2 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail to so qualify as Performance‑Based Compensation, unless the Administrator determines that the Award should not so qualify. No adjustment or action described in this Section 14.2 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short‑swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b‑3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions.
(i)    The existence of the Plan, the Program, the Award Agreement and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(j)    No action shall be taken under this Section 14.2 which shall cause an Award to fail to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(k)    In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the Shares or the share price of the Common Stock including any Equity Restructuring, for reasons of administrative convenience, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award during a period of up to thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any such transaction.
14.3 Approval of Plan by Stockholders. The Plan shall be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s initial adoption of the Plan. Awards may be granted or awarded prior to such stockholder approval; provided that such Awards shall not be exercisable, shall not vest and the restrictions thereon shall not lapse and no Shares shall be issued pursuant thereto prior to the time when the Plan is approved by the stockholders; and provided , further , that if such approval has not been obtained at the end of said twelve (12) month period, all Awards previously granted or awarded under the Plan shall thereupon be canceled and become null and void.
14.4 No Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Holder shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Holder becomes the record owner of such Shares.
14.5 Paperless Administration. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Holder may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.
14.6 Effect of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Subsidiary: (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards

21


otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including without limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.
14.7 Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Shares and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all Applicable Law (including but not limited to state, federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law.
14.8 Titles and Headings, References to Sections of the Code or Exchange Act. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. References to sections of the Code or the Exchange Act shall include any amendment or successor thereto.
14.9 Governing Law. The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof or of any other jurisdiction.
14.10 Section 409A. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Program pursuant to which such Award is granted and the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan, the Program and any Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Program and Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section.
14.11 No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Administrator is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Holders or any other persons uniformly.
14.12 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Program or Award Agreement shall give the Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.
14.13 Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
14.14 Relationship to other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

Exhibit 10.6

MOMENTA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

2004 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(as amended and restated)

The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible employees of Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries with opportunities to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), commencing on the date on which the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declares a registration statement on Form S-1 for the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s Common Stock effective (the “Effective Date”). An aggregate of 2,424,652 shares of Common Stock have been approved for this purpose. This Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” as defined in Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall be interpreted consistent therewith.
1. Administration . The Plan will be administered by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or by a Committee appointed by the Board (the “Committee”). The Board or the Committee has authority to make rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan and its interpretation and decisions with regard thereto shall be final and conclusive.
2. Eligibility . All employees of the Company, including Directors who are employees, and all employees of any subsidiary of the Company (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code) designated by the Board or the Committee from time to time (a “Designated Subsidiary”), are eligible to participate in any one or more of the offerings of Options (as defined in Section 9) to purchase Common Stock under the Plan provided that:
(a)    they are customarily employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for more than 20 hours a week and for more than five (5) months in a calendar year; and
(b)    they have been employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary for at least ninety (90) days prior to enrolling in the Plan; and
(c)    they are employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on the first day of the applicable Plan Period (as defined below).
No employee may be granted an option hereunder if such employee, immediately after the option is granted, owns 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the stock of the Company or any subsidiary. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of an employee, and all stock which the employee has a contractual right to purchase shall be treated as stock owned by the employee.
3. Offerings . The Company will make one or more offerings (“Offerings”) to employees to purchase stock under this Plan. Offerings will begin each February 1, or the first business day thereafter (the “Offering Commencement Dates”). Each Offering Commencement Date will begin a twelve-month period (a “Plan Period”) during which payroll deductions will be made and held for the purchase of Common Stock at the end of the Plan Period. The Board or the Committee may, at its discretion, choose a different Plan Period of twelve (12) months or less for subsequent Offerings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the first Plan Period shall begin on the first date that the Common Stock is publicly traded following the Company’s IPO and shall end on January 31, 2005.
4. Participation . An employee eligible on the Offering Commencement Date of any Offering may participate in such Offering by completing and forwarding a payroll deduction authorization form to the employee’s appropriate payroll office at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable Offering Commencement Date. The form will authorize a regular payroll deduction from the Compensation received by the employee during the Plan Period. Unless an employee files a new form or withdraws from the Plan, his deductions and purchases will continue at the same rate for future Offerings under the Plan as long as the Plan remains in effect. The term “Compensation” means the amount of money reportable on the employee’s Federal Income Tax Withholding Statement, excluding overtime, shift premium, incentive or bonus awards, allowances and reimbursements for expenses such as relocation allowances for travel expenses, income or gains on the exercise of Company stock options or stock appreciation rights, and similar items, whether or not shown on the employee’s Federal Income Tax Withholding Statement, but including, in the case of salespersons, sales commissions to the extent determined by the Board or the Committee.

1


5. Deductions . The Company will maintain payroll deduction accounts for all participating employees. With respect to any Offering made under this Plan, an employee may authorize a payroll deduction in any dollar amount up to a maximum of 15% of the Compensation he or she receives during the Plan Period or such shorter period during which deductions from payroll are made. The minimum payroll deduction is such percentage of compensation as may be established from time to time by the Board or the Committee.
6. Deduction Changes . An employee may decrease or discontinue his payroll deduction once during any Plan Period, by filing a new payroll deduction authorization form. However, an employee may not increase his payroll deduction during a Plan Period. If an employee elects to discontinue his payroll deductions during a Plan Period, but does not elect to withdraw his funds pursuant to Section 8 hereof, funds deducted prior to his election to discontinue will be applied to the purchase of Common Stock on the Exercise Date (as defined below).
7. Interest . Interest will not be paid on any employee accounts, except to the extent that the Board or the Committee, in its sole discretion, elects to credit employee accounts with interest at such per annum rate as it may from time to time determine.
8. Withdrawal of Funds . An employee may at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day in a Plan Period and for any reason permanently draw out the balance accumulated in the employee’s account and thereby withdraw from participation in an Offering. Partial withdrawals are not permitted. The employee may not begin participation again during the remainder of the Plan Period. The employee may participate in any subsequent Offering in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Board or the Committee.
9. Purchase of Shares . On the Offering Commencement Date of each Plan Period, the Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a participant in the Plan an option (“Option”) to purchase on the last business day of such Plan Period (the “Exercise Date”), at the Option Price hereinafter provided for, the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock of the Company as does not exceed the number of shares determined by multiplying $2,083 by the number of full months in the Offering Period and dividing the result by the closing price (as defined below) on the Offering Commencement Date of such Plan Period.
Notwithstanding the above, no employee may be granted an Option (as defined in Section 9) which permits his rights to purchase Common Stock under this Plan and any other employee stock purchase plan (as defined in Section 423(b) of the Code) of the Company and its subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such Common Stock (determined at the Offering Commencement Date of the Plan Period) for each calendar year in which the Option is outstanding at any time.
The purchase price for each share purchased will be 85% of the closing price of the Common Stock on (i) the first business day of such Plan Period or (ii) the Exercise Date, whichever closing price shall be less. Such closing price shall be (a) the closing price on any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, (b) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market or (c) the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter-market, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal ; provided , however , that, with respect to the first Plan Period, the closing price on the Offering Commencement Date shall be the initial public offering price provided for in the underwriting agreement entered into by the Company in connection with the IPO. If no sales of Common Stock were made on such a day, the price of the Common Stock for purposes of clauses (a) and (b) above shall be the reported price for the next preceding day on which sales were made.
Each employee who continues to be a participant in the Plan on the Exercise Date shall be deemed to have exercised his Option at the Option Price on such date and shall be deemed to have purchased from the Company the number of full shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan that his accumulated payroll deductions on such date will pay for, but not in excess of the maximum number determined in the manner set forth above.
Any balance remaining in an employee’s payroll deduction account at the end of a Plan Period will be automatically refunded to the employee, except that any balance which is less than the purchase price of one share of Common Stock will be carried forward into the employee’s payroll deduction account for the following Offering, unless the employee elects not to participate in the following Offering under the Plan, in which case the balance in the employee’s account shall be refunded.

2


10. Issuance of Certificates . Certificates representing shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan may be issued only in the name of the employee, in the name of the employee and another person of legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, or (in the Company’s sole discretion) in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder designated by the employee. The Company may, in its sole discretion and in compliance with applicable laws, authorize the use of book entry registration of shares in lieu of issuing stock certificates.
11. Rights on Death or Termination of Employment . In the event of a participating employee’s termination of employment prior to the last business day of a Plan Period, no payroll deduction shall be taken from any pay due and owing to an employee and the balance in the employee’s account shall be paid to the employee or, in the event of the employee’s death, (a) to a beneficiary previously designated in a revocable notice signed by the employee (with any spousal consent required under state law) or (b) in the absence of such a designated beneficiary, to the executor or administrator of the employee’s estate or (c) if no such executor or administrator has been appointed to the knowledge of the Company, to such other person(s) as the Company may, in its discretion, designate. If, prior to the last business day of the Plan Period, the Designated Subsidiary by which an employee is employed shall cease to be a subsidiary of the Company, or if the employee is transferred to a subsidiary of the Company that is not a Designated Subsidiary, the employee shall be deemed to have terminated employment for the purposes of this Plan.
12. Optionees Not Stockholders . Neither the granting of an Option to an employee nor the deductions from his pay shall constitute such employee a stockholder of the shares of Common Stock covered by an Option under this plan until such shares have been purchased by and issued to him.
13. Rights Not Transferable . Rights under this Plan are not transferable by a participating employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the employee’s lifetime only by the employee.
14. Application of Funds . All funds received or held by the Company under this Plan may be combined with other corporate funds and may be used for any corporate purpose.
15. Adjustment in Case of Changes Affecting Common Stock . In the event of a subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or the payment of a dividend in Common Stock, the number of shares approved for this Plan, and the share limitation set forth in Section 9, shall be increased proportionately, and such other adjustment shall be made as may be deemed equitable by the Board or the Committee. In the event of any other change affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made as may be deemed equitable by the Board or the Committee to give proper effect to such event.
16. Merger . If the Company shall at any time merge or consolidate with another corporation and the holders of the capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 80% by voting power of the capital stock of the surviving corporation (“Continuity of Control”), the holder of each Option then outstanding will thereafter be entitled to receive at the next Exercise Date upon the exercise of such Option for each share as to which such Option shall be exercised the securities or property which a holder of one share of the Common Stock was entitled to upon and at the time of such merger or consolidation, and the Board or the Committee shall take such steps in connection with such merger or consolidation as the Board or the Committee shall deem necessary to assure that the provisions of Section 15 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to the said securities or property as to which such holder of such Option might thereafter be entitled to receive thereunder.
In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation which does not involve Continuity of Control, or of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company while unexercised Options remain outstanding under the Plan, (a) subject to the provisions of clauses (b) and (c), after the effective date of such transaction, each holder of an outstanding Option shall be entitled, upon exercise of such Option, to receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock, shares of such stock or other securities as the holders of shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the terms of such transaction; or (b) all outstanding Options may be cancelled by the Board or the Committee as of a date prior to the effective date of any such transaction and all payroll deductions shall be paid out to the participating employees; or (c) all outstanding Options may be cancelled by the Board or the Committee as of the effective date of any such transaction, provided that notice of such cancellation shall be given to each holder of an Option, and each holder of an Option shall have the right to exercise such Option in full based on payroll deductions then credited to his account as of a date determined by the Board or the Committee, which date shall not be less than ten (10) days preceding the effective date of such transaction.

3


17. Amendment of the Plan . The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend this Plan in any respect, except that (a) if the approval of any such amendment by the stockholders of the Company is required by Section 423 of the Code, such amendment shall not be effected without such approval, and (b) in no event may any amendment be made which would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Section 423 of the Code.
18. Insufficient Shares . In the event that the total number of shares of Common Stock specified in elections to be purchased under any Offering plus the number of shares purchased under previous Offerings under this Plan exceeds the maximum number of shares issuable under this Plan, the Board or the Committee will allot the shares then available on a pro rata basis.
19. Termination of the Plan . This Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board. Upon termination of this plan all amounts in the accounts of participating employees shall be promptly refunded.
20. Governmental Regulations . The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Common Stock under this Plan is subject to listing on a national stock exchange or quotation on the Nasdaq National Market (to the extent the Common Stock is then so listed or quoted) and the approval of all governmental authorities required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such stock.
21. Governing Law . The Plan shall be governed by Delaware law except to the extent that such law is preempted by federal law.
22. Issuance of Shares . Shares may be issued upon exercise of an Option from authorized but unissued Common Stock, from shares held in the treasury of the Company, or from any other proper source.
23. Notification upon Sale of Shares . Each employee agrees, by entering the Plan, to promptly give the Company notice of any disposition of shares purchased under the Plan where such disposition occurs within two years after the date of grant of the Option pursuant to which such shares were purchased.
24. Withholding . Each employee shall, no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability, make provision satisfactory to the Board for payment of any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with any transaction related to Options granted to or shares acquired by such employee pursuant to the Plan. The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to an employee.
25. Effective Date and Approval of Stockholders . The Plan shall take effect on the Effective Date, subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company as required by Section 423 of the Code, which approval must occur within twelve months of the adoption of the Plan by the Board.
26. Special Provisions for First Plan Period . The following provisions of this Section 26 shall apply with respect to the first Plan Period notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary:
(a)    Every eligible employee shall automatically become a participant in the Plan for the first Plan Period at the highest percentage of Compensation permitted under Section 5. No payroll deductions shall be required for the first Plan Period; however , a participant may, at any time after the effectiveness of the Plan’s Registration Statement on Form S-8, elect to have payroll deductions up to the aggregate amount which would have been credited to his or her account if a deduction of fifteen percent (15%) of the Compensation which he or she received on each pay day during the first Plan Period had been made (the “Maximum Amount”) or decline to participate by filing an appropriate subscription agreement.
(b)    Upon the automatic exercise of a participant’s option on the Exercise Date for the First Plan Period, a participant shall be permitted to purchase shares with (i) the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account, if any, (ii) a direct payment form the participant, or (iii) a combination thereof; provided , however , that the total amount applied to the purchase may not exceed the Maximum Amount.
