SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections for such statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements.” Terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but these terms are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding:

our expectations related to obtaining permanent separate or similar reimbursement for OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solution) 1%/0.3% from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for periods after September 30, 2020, and our expectations regarding reimbursement coverage for OMIDRIA by commercial and government payers;
our estimates regarding how long our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and revenues will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating expenses, capital expenditures and debt service obligations;
our expectations relating to demand for OMIDRIA from wholesalers, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and hospitals, and our expectations regarding OMIDRIA product sales;
our plans for the marketing and distribution of OMIDRIA and our estimates of OMIDRIA chargebacks and rebates, distribution fees and product returns;
our expectations regarding the clinical, therapeutic and competitive benefits and importance of OMIDRIA and our product candidates;
our ability to design, initiate and/or successfully complete clinical trials and other studies for our products and product candidates and our plans and expectations regarding our ongoing or planned clinical trials, including for our lead MASP-2 inhibitor, narsoplimab (also referred to as OMS721), and for our other investigational candidates, including OMS527 and OMS906;
with respect to our narsoplimab clinical programs, our expectations regarding: whether enrollment in any or all ongoing and planned Phase 3 and Phase 2 clinical trials will proceed as expected; whether we can capitalize on the financial and regulatory incentives provided by orphan drug designations granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Commission (EC), or the European Medicines Agency (EMA); and whether we can capitalize on the regulatory incentives provided by fast-track and/or breakthrough therapy designations granted by the FDA;
our expectations regarding clinical plans and anticipated or potential paths to regulatory approval of narsoplimab by the FDA and/or EMA in hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA), Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS);
whether and when a Biologics License Application (BLA) may be filed with the FDA for narsoplimab in any indication, whether the FDA will grant approval for narsoplimab in any indication, and whether any such approval will be accelerated or regular (full) approval;
whether and when a marketing authorization application (MAA) may be filed with the EMA for narsoplimab in any indication, and whether the EMA will grant approval for narsoplimab in any indication;
our plans for the commercial launch of narsoplimab following any regulatory approval and our estimates and expectations regarding coverage and reimbursement for any approved products;

Table of Contents

our expectation that we will rely on contract manufacturers to manufacture OMIDRIA for commercial sale and to manufacture our product candidates for purposes of clinical supply and in anticipation of potential commercialization;
our ability to raise additional capital through the capital markets or through one or more corporate partnerships, equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or asset sales;
our expectations about the commercial competition that OMIDRIA and our product candidates, if commercialized, face or may face;
the expected course and costs of existing claims, legal proceedings and administrative actions, our involvement in potential claims, legal proceedings and administrative actions, and the merits, potential outcomes and effects of both existing and potential claims, legal proceedings and administrative actions, as well as regulatory determinations, on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations;
the extent of protection that our patents provide and that our pending patent applications will provide, if patents are issued from such applications, for our technologies, programs, products and product candidates;
the factors on which we base our estimates for accounting purposes and our expectations regarding the effect of changes in accounting guidance or standards on our operating results; and
our expected financial position, performance, revenues, growth, costs and expenses, magnitude of net losses and the availability of resources.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, actual results or anticipated developments may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, may not have the expected consequences to or effects on our company, business or operations. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual results in subsequent periods may materially differ from current expectations. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

OMEROS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting inflammation, complement-mediated diseases, disorders of the central nervous system, and immune-related diseases, including cancers. Our first drug product, OMIDRIA, is marketed in the United States (U.S.) for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement.

Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Omeros Corporation (Omeros) and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated and we have determined we operate in one segment. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The information as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 includes all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our interim financial information. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited annual financial information.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 1, 2019.

We continue to advance a series of clinical and preclinical programs (including three programs currently in Phase 3). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) granted transitional pass-through reimbursement status for OMIDRIA from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017 for patients covered by Medicare Part B. On October 1, 2018, OMIDRIA pass-through reimbursement was reinstated for a two-year period. In its 2020 outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) final rule, issued on November 1, 2019, CMS declined to grant separate payment to OMIDRIA beyond the expiration of its current pass-through status on September 30, 2020. CMS also noted in the 2020 final rule that it would continue to analyze evidence and monitor utilization of OMIDRIA. We cannot at this time predict with precision future OMIDRIA revenues due to the uncertain impact of the 2020 OPPS final rule on sales of OMIDRIA in 2019 and 2020. As a result, despite our record OMIDRIA sales over consecutive quarters, meaningful growth in OMIDRIA sales in the fourth quarter 2019 and 2020 are not included in the determination regarding our prospects as a going concern. Similarly, we are unable to include in the determination amounts available under our revolving line of credit or any proceeds from debt transactions or other financing instruments despite our successful track record in accessing capital through these avenues. We also have not included any potential partnerships related to our products or product candidates. The conditions described above, when evaluated within the constraints of the accounting literature, raise substantial doubt with respect to our ability to meet our obligations through November 12, 2020 and, therefore, to continue as a going concern.

We plan to continue to fund a portion of our operations through proceeds from sales of OMIDRIA and, if necessary, through other revenue sources and financial instruments as noted above. If these capital sources, for any reason, are needed but inaccessible, it would have a significantly negative effect our financial condition. Should it be necessary to manage our operating expenses, we would reduce our projected cash requirements through reduction of our

expenses by delaying clinical trials, reducing selected research and development efforts, and/or implementing other restructuring activities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense and accruals for clinical trials, manufacturing of drug product and clinical drug supply and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

When we enter into a customer contract, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

Product Sales, Net

We generally record revenue from product sales when the product is delivered to our wholesalers. Product sales are recorded net of wholesaler distribution fees and estimated chargebacks, rebates, returns and purchase-volume discounts. Accruals or allowances are established for these deductions in the same period when revenue is recognized, and actual amounts incurred are offset against the applicable accruals or allowances. We reflect each of these accruals or allowances as either a reduction in the related accounts receivable or as an accrued liability depending on how the amount is expected to be settled.

Right-of-Use Assets and Related Lease Liabilities

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases, (Topic 842) using a modified retrospective approach versus recasting the prior periods presented. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessment of whether (i) contracts contain leases, (ii) lease classifications and (iii) initial direct costs. Upon adoption we recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $17.7 million and $26.4 million, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The balance of the net right-of-use asset included the reversal of the outstanding balance of deferred rent of $8.7 million.

We record operating leases on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as right-of-use assets and recognize the related lease liabilities equal to the fair value of the lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate in the lease agreement is not readily available. We recognize variable lease payments, when incurred. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.

We record finance leases on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of property and equipment and amortize these assets within operating expenses on a straight-line basis to their residual values over the shorter of the term of the underlying lease or the estimated useful life of the equipment. The interest component of a finance lease is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term.

-9-

Table of Contents

We account for leases with initial terms of 12 months or less as operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Advance Payments

Advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and then recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed, or when the goods or services are no longer expected to be provided.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation, (Topic 958) which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for services by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees and directors, with certain exceptions. The adoption was immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments based on estimated fair values as of the date of grant. The fair value of our stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires judgmental assumptions including volatility, forfeiture rates and expected option life. We use the straight-line method to allocate stock-based compensation cost to reporting periods over each optionee’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, (Topic 326) which changes how entities account for credit losses on most financial assets and certain other instruments, and expands disclosures. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the standard on January 1, 2020 and are still in process of evaluating the effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 2—Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. Common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted net loss per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The basic and diluted net loss per share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were computed based on the shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation are as follows:

Note 4—Fair-Value Measurements

As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, all investments were classified as short-term and available-for-sale on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investment income, which was included as a component of other income, consists of interest earned.

On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:

Level 1—Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore they are developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

Our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Cash held in demand deposit accounts of $8.9 million and $5.9 million is excluded from our fair-value hierarchy disclosure as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were no unrealized gains or losses associated with our short-term investments as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for receivables, accounts payable, other current monetary assets and liabilities approximate fair value.

Note 5—Debt

2016 CRG Loan Agreement

In 2016, we entered into a term loan agreement with CRG Servicing LLC (the CRG Loan) and borrowed $80.0 million thereunder. In May 2018, we borrowed the remaining $45.0 million available under the CRG Loan and issued warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $23.00 per share. The warrants have a five-year term and remained outstanding as of September 30, 2019.

In November 2018, we issued $210.0 million in principal amount of unsecured convertible senior notes (see Note 6 - “Convertible Senior Notes”) and repaid the CRG Loan. Upon repayment, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $13.0 million.

2019 Silicon Valley Bank Line of Credit Agreement

On August 2, 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the Loan Agreement), which provides for a $50.0 million revolving line of credit facility. Under the Loan Agreement we may draw, on a revolving basis, up to the lesser of $50.0 million and 85.0% of our eligible accounts receivable, less certain reserves. The Loan Agreement is secured by all our assets excluding intellectual property and development program inventories and matures on August 2, 2022.

Interest on amounts outstanding is payable monthly at a floating rate equal to the greater of 5.50% and the prime rate per annum. If the Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the maturity date for any reason other than replacement with a new Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) credit facility or a new syndicated facility in which SVB acts as the agent, we are required to pay a termination fee equal to 2.0% of the revolving line facility (or $1.0 million). We paid an initial commitment fee of $150,000 upon closing and are required to pay additional commitment fees of $150,000 on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, or upon the earlier termination of, or default under, the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement requires a lockbox arrangement whereby our trade accounts receivable collections are deposited into a control account. Amounts deposited in the account are transferred daily to our operating account, except that during periods of reduced liquidity or upon an event of default, the amounts received in the control account are applied to reduce the outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default that include, among other things, breach, non-payment, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, the occurrence of a material adverse change in our business or prospects for repayment of the loan, cross default to material indebtedness or material agreements, bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments and a change in control. In the event of default, SVB may require all obligations under the Loan Agreement to be immediately due and payable and charge a default rate of interest thereon.

As of September 30, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement.

Note 6—Convertible Senior Notes

On November 15, 2018, we issued at face value $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the Convertible Notes). The Convertible Notes are unsecured and accrue interest at an annual rate of 6.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2019.

The Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, as we elect at our sole discretion. The initial conversion rate is 52.0183 shares of our common stock per $1,000 of note principal (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.22 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2019, all Convertible Notes remain outstanding.

The balance of our Convertible Notes at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, is as follows:

Note 7—Lease Liabilities

We have operating leases related to our office and laboratory space. The initial term of the leases is through November 2027 and we have two options to extend the lease term, each by five years. We have finance leases for certain laboratory and office equipment that have lease terms expiring through December 2023.

As described further in Note 1 – “Organization and Significant Accounting Policies”, on January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, (Topic 842) using a modified retrospective approach versus recasting the prior periods presented. The lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet are as follows. Prior year interim financial statements were not recast under the new standard and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below.

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies

Contracts

We have various agreements with third parties that would collectively require payment of termination fees totaling $22.6 million as of September 30, 2019 if we cancel the work within specific time frames, either prior to commencing or during performance of the contracted services.

Development Milestones and Product Royalties

We have licensed a variety of intellectual property from third parties that we are currently developing or may develop in the future. These licenses may require milestone payments during clinical development as well as low single to low double-digit royalties on the net income or net sales of the product. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, development milestones incurred were insignificant and we did not owe any royalties.

Note 9—Shareholders’ Deficit

Common Stock

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received proceeds of $5.0 million upon the exercise of stock options which resulted in the issuance of 513,790 shares of common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received proceeds of $6.7 million upon the exercise of stock options and warrants which resulted in the issuance of 763,575 shares of common stock.

Warrants

In connection with the April 2018 amendment to the CRG Loan, we issued warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $23.00 per share and total fair value of $1.4 million. The warrants have a five-year term and remain outstanding as of September 30, 2019.

In September 2018, other warrant holders with a right to purchase 57,487 shares of our common stock exercised their warrants. In conjunction with this cashless exercise, we issued 34,509 shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2019, 43,115 of these warrants remain outstanding. The warrants are exercisable through May 18, 2023.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting inflammation, complement-mediated diseases, disorders of the central nervous system, and immune-related diseases, including cancers.

Our drug product OMIDRIA® is marketed in the United States (U.S.) for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce postoperative pain. In our pipeline we have multiple Phase 3 and Phase 2 clinical-stage development programs focused on complement-mediated disorders and substance abuse. In addition, we have a diverse group of preclinical programs, including GPR174, a novel target in immuno-oncology that modulates a new cancer immunity axis recently discovered by us. Small-molecule inhibitors of GPR174 are part of our proprietary G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) platform through which we control 54 new GPCR drug targets and their corresponding compounds. We also exclusively possess a novel antibody-generating platform. For OMIDRIA and each of our product candidates and our programs, we have retained control of all commercial rights.

Commercial Product - OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solution) 1%/0.3%

OMIDRIA is approved by the FDA for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce postoperative ocular pain. Outside of the U.S., we have received approval from the European Commission (EC) to market OMIDRIA in the European Economic Area (EEA) for use during cataract surgery and other intraocular lens replacement procedures for maintenance of intraoperative mydriasis (pupil dilation), prevention of intraoperative miosis and reduction of acute postoperative ocular pain.

OMIDRIA is a proprietary drug product containing two active pharmaceutical ingredients: ketorolac, an anti-inflammatory agent, and phenylephrine, a mydriatic, or pupil dilating, agent. Cataract and other lens replacement surgery involves replacement of the original lens of the eye with an artificial intraocular lens. These procedures are typically performed to replace a lens opacified by a cataract and/or to correct a refractive error. OMIDRIA is added to standard irrigation solution used during cataract and lens replacement surgery and is delivered intracamerally, or within the anterior chamber of the eye, to the site of the surgical trauma throughout the procedure. Preventing pupil constriction is essential for these procedures and, if miosis occurs, the risk of damaging structures within the eye and other complications increases, as does the operating time required to perform the procedure.

We launched OMIDRIA in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2015 and sell OMIDRIA primarily through wholesalers which, in turn, sell to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and hospitals. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency responsible for administering the Medicare program, granted transitional pass-through reimbursement status for OMIDRIA in 2014, effective from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017. Pass-through status allows for separate payment (i.e., outside the packaged payment rate for the surgical procedure) under Medicare Part B. In March 2018, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 (the Appropriations Act) was signed into law. The Appropriations Act included a provision by which Congress extended pass-through reimbursement status for a small number of drugs, including OMIDRIA, used during procedures performed on Medicare Part B fee-for-service patients for an additional two years, running from October 1, 2018 until September 30, 2020.

We continue to pursue permanent separate reimbursement for OMIDRIA beyond the currently scheduled expiration of pass-through reimbursement. CMS is required under the Substance Use–Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act to review payments under its CMS’

-19-

Table of Contents

outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) for opioids and evidence-based non-opioid alternatives for pain management with a goal to ensure that there are not financial incentives to use opioids instead of non-opioid alternatives. In its 2020 OPPS proposed rule, CMS noted that non-opioid drugs that are indicated for reduction of post-operative pain may warrant separate payment if there is evidence to show that such drugs help to deter or avoid prescription opioid use and addiction and that packaged payment presents a demonstrated barrier to access for such drugs. Although Omeros provided CMS with evidence that it believes shows that OMIDRIA meets these criteria, CMS declined in its 2020 OPPS final rule to grant separate payment to OMIDRIA beyond the expiration of its current pass-through status on September 30, 2020. CMS also noted in the 2020 final rule that it will continue to analyze evidence and monitor utilization of OMIDRIA. We continue to generate evidence and intend to continue pursuing administrative and legislative avenues to secure permanent separate payment or similar reimbursement for OMIDRIA beyond September 30, 2020; however, we cannot provide assurance that these efforts will be successful. For more information regarding OMIDRIA reimbursement, see “Results of Operations” below.

We also continue to pursue expansion of reimbursement for OMIDRIA by Medicare Advantage and other third-party payers. CMS recently assigned a permanent product-specific Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) J-code for OMIDRIA, which became effective October 1, 2019 and replaced the drug’s former temporary HCPCS C-code. J-codes are reimbursement codes used by commercial insurance plans, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and other government payers for drugs like OMIDRIA that are administered by a physician. Benefits of the new J-code include having one consistent billing code that can be used across all government and commercial payer plans as well as expanding coverage in state Medicaid and commercial plans that recognize J-codes, but not C-codes, for reimbursement and enabling access to the increasing number of cataract procedures performed in the physician office setting.

In July 2018, we reported that OMIDRIA had been placed on the market in the EU, on a limited basis, which maintained the ongoing validity of the European marketing authorization for OMIDRIA. Decisions about price and reimbursement for OMIDRIA are made on a country-by-country basis and may be required before marketing may occur in a particular country. At this time, we do not expect to see significant sales of OMIDRIA in any countries within the EEA or other international territories.

Clinical Development Programs

Our clinical stage development programs include:

MASP-2 - narsoplimab (OMS721) - Lectin Pathway Disorders. Narsoplimab, also referred to as OMS721, is our lead human monoclonal antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2), a novel pro-inflammatory protein target involved in activation of the complement system. The complement system plays a role in the body’s inflammatory response and becomes activated as a result of tissue damage or trauma or microbial pathogen invasion. Inappropriate or uncontrolled activation of the complement system can cause diseases characterized by serious tissue injury. MASP-2 is the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway of the complement system, and the current development focus for narsoplimab is diseases in which the lectin pathway has been shown to contribute to significant tissue injury and pathology. When not treated, these diseases are typically characterized by significant end organ injuries, such as kidney or central nervous system injury.

We are conducting Phase 3 clinical programs for narsoplimab in hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA), Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). In addition, we have an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating narsoplimab in renal diseases, currently focused on patients with IgA nephropathy.

Narsoplimab has received multiple designations from the FDA and from the EMA across the three current indications. These include:

HSCT-TMA: In the U.S., the FDA has granted narsoplimab (1) breakthrough therapy designation in patients who have persistent TMA despite modification of immunosuppressive therapy, (2) orphan drug designation for the prevention (inhibition) of complement-mediated TMAs, and (3) orphan drug

-20-

Table of Contents

designation for the treatment of HSCT-TMA. The EC also granted narsoplimab a designation as an orphan medicinal product for treatment in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
IgA nephropathy: In the U.S., narsoplimab has received from the FDA (1) breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of IgA nephropathy and (2) orphan drug designation in IgA nephropathy. In Europe, narsoplimab has received from the EC designation as an orphan medicinal product for the treatment of primary IgA nephropathy.
aHUS: In the U.S., narsoplimab has received from the FDA (1) fast-track designation for the treatment of patients with aHUS and (2) orphan drug designation for the prevention (inhibition) of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathies.

In October 2019, we initiated the rolling submission to FDA of our BLA for narsoplimab for the treatment of HSCT-TMA. Rolling submission enables us to submit sections of the BLA as they are completed, which can accelerate the time to approval by allowing FDA to review completed sections of the application as they are submitted rather than waiting for the entire BLA to be submitted before beginning its review. The initial submission to FDA included all of the nonclinical (i.e., pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and toxicology) data, study reports, overview and summaries for the nonclinical sections of the BLA. Once all clinical data collection, dataset compilation and data analysis are complete, the clinical parts of the BLA will be scheduled for submission, to be followed by the quality (i.e., chemistry, manufacturing and controls) section.

Based on communications with the FDA and the EMA regarding expectations for our marketing applications (BLA and MAA), we plan to submit for regulatory approval of narsoplimab for HSCT-TMA with data from patients already enrolled in the ongoing HSCT-TMA clinical trial and from HSCT-TMA patients treated with narsoplimab under compassionate use protocols. We have also agreed with the FDA on the primary endpoint criteria to be used for approval. The response-based primary endpoint for HSCT-TMA requires a showing of both a beneficial effect on the underlying HSCT-TMA disease process and a meaningful improvement in patients’ clinical status. The endpoint includes laboratory measures and markers of organ function as well as platelet and red blood cell transfusion burden. We are collecting the additional data needed for our marketing applications from the medical records of patients already treated with narsoplimab in our HSCT-TMA clinical trial or under a compassionate use protocol.

In Europe, EMA has confirmed narsoplimab’s eligibility for EMA’s centralized review procedure, which allows submission of a single MAA that, if approved, authorizes the product to be marketed in all EU member states and EEA countries rather than requiring separate national approvals. We intend to harmonize the contents of the BLA and MAA. In October 2019 we received a positive opinion from EMA on our pediatric investigation plan (PIP) for narsoplimab in the treatment HSCT-TMA. A PIP outlining a development program for the investigational product in the pediatric population must be agreed with EMA as a prerequisite to EMA’s acceptance of an MAA. The narsoplimab PIP provides a study plan to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the drug for HSCT-TMA in patients from one month through 17 years of age. We received a deferral for completion of our PIP until after approval of the narsoplimab MAA.

In our IgA nephropathy program, patient enrollment continues in the narsoplimab Phase 3 clinical trial, ARTEMIS-IGAN. The single Phase 3 trial design is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial in patients at least 18 years of age with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy and with 24-hour urine protein excretion greater than one gram per day at baseline on optimized renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade. This trial includes a run-in period. Initially, patients are expected to receive an IV dose of study drug each week for 12 weeks; additional weekly dosing can be administered to achieve optimal response. The primary endpoint, which we believe could suffice for full or accelerated approval depending on the effect size, is reduction in proteinuria at 36 weeks after the start of dosing. The trial is designed to allow intra-trial adjustment in sample size. For the purposes of safety and efficacy assessments, the initial sample size for the proteinuria endpoint is estimated at 140 patients in each of the treatment and placebo groups. This will include a subset of patients with high levels of proteinuria (i.e., equal to or greater than 2 g/day) at baseline, and a substantial improvement at 36 weeks in this subset of patients alone could potentially form the basis for

-21-

Table of Contents

approval. We believe that the trial design will allow assessment for either full or accelerated approval at 36 weeks based on proteinuria results either (1) across the general population of study patients or (2) in the high-proteinuria subset of patients.

The Phase 3 clinical program in patients with aHUS, in which patient enrollment is ongoing, consists of one Phase 3 clinical trial – a single-arm (i.e., no control arm), open-label trial in patients with newly diagnosed or ongoing aHUS. This trial is targeting approximately 40 patients for full approval in Europe and accelerated approval in the U.S. with approximately 80 total patients required by FDA for full approval in the U.S.

PDE7 - OMS527. In our phosphodiesterase 7 (PDE7) program, we are developing proprietary compounds to treat addiction and compulsive disorders as well as movement disorders. In September 2019 we reported positive results from our Phase 1 single-ascending- and multiple-ascending-dose clinical trial designed to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of our lead compound in healthy subjects.

In the double blind, randomized Phase 1 study, the study drug, referred to as OMS182399, met the primary endpoints of safety and tolerability and showed a favorable and dose-proportional pharmacokinetic (PK) profile supporting once-daily dosing. There was no apparent food effect on plasma exposure to OMS182399.

In the single-ascending-dose part of the study (Part 1), 47 fasted subjects received single oral doses of placebo or OMS182399 in five sequential ascending-dose cohorts and in a single-dose cohort of non-fasting (i.e., fed) subjects. In the multiple-dose part of the study (Part 2), 37 non-fasting subjects received oral doses of placebo or OMS182399 once a day for 14 days in three sequential cohorts. In aggregate, the number of subjects reporting any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was 5 of 21 (23.8 percent) for those receiving placebo and 18 of 63 (28.6 percent) for those receiving OMS182399. All TEAEs in subjects receiving OMS182399 were mild in intensity and transient. The most common TEAE in subjects receiving OMS182399 (and more frequent than placebo) was headache, occurring in 3 of 35 (8.6 percent) subjects receiving single doses and 4 of 28 (14.3 percent) subjects receiving multiple doses. No serious TEAE or lab-related TEAE was reported, and there was no dose dependency of TEAEs observed. We plan to conduct a Phase 2a study targeting nicotine addiction.

Preclinical Development Programs and Platforms

Our preclinical programs and platforms include:

MASP-3 - OMS906 - Alternative Pathway Disorders. As part of our complement target program, we have identified mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-3 (MASP-3), which has been shown to be the key activator of the complement system’s alternative pathway (APC). We believe that we are the first to make this and related discoveries associated with the APC. The complement system is part of the immune system’s innate response, and the APC is considered the amplification loop within the complement system. MASP-3 is responsible for the conversion of pro-factor D to factor D, and converted factor D is necessary for the activation of the APC. Based on our alternative pathway-related discoveries, we have expanded our intellectual property position to protect our inventions stemming from these discoveries beyond MASP-2-associated inhibition of the lectin pathway to include inhibition of the alternative pathway. Our current primary focus in this program is developing MASP-3 inhibitors for the treatment of disorders related to the APC. We believe that MASP-3 inhibitors have the potential to treat patients suffering from a wide range of diseases and conditions, including: paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH); C3 glomerulopathy; multiple sclerosis; arthritis; traumatic brain injury; neuromyelitis optica; pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis; disseminated intravascular coagulation; age-related macular degeneration; asthma; dense deposit disease; Bechet’s disease; aspiration pneumonia; TMA; ischemia-reperfusion injury; Guillain Barre syndrome; Alzheimer’s disease; amylotrophic lateral sclerosis; systemic lupus erythematosus; diabetic retinopathy; uveitis; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; transplant rejection; acute respiratory distress syndrome; antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis; anti-phospholipid syndrome; atherosclerosis; myasthenia gravis and others. Our OMS906 program has generated positive data in a well-established animal model associated with PNH. The program has also generated positive data in a well-established animal model of arthritis. In preparation for

-22-

Table of Contents

clinical trials, the manufacturing scale-up process is underway for a MASP-3 inhibitor antibody. The initial clinical focus in this program is PNH. Nonclinical human-dose-enabling studies are planned for this year and clinical trials are targeted to begin in the first half of 2020.
Other MASP Inhibitor Preclinical Programs. We have generated positive preclinical data from MASP-2 inhibition in in vivo models of age-related macular degeneration, myocardial infarction, diabetic neuropathy, stroke, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and other diseases and disorders. As part of lifecycle planning for narsoplimab we are developing small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-2 designed for oral administration, as well as a long-acting second-generation antibody against MASP-2 designed for subcutaneous administration. Both of these development programs are targeted for clinical entry in 2021. Development efforts to small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-3 and bispecific inhibitors of MASP-2/-3.
GPCR Platform and Programs. We have developed a proprietary cellular redistribution assay which we use in a high-throughput manner to identify synthetic ligands, including antagonists, agonists and inverse agonists, that bind to and affect the function of orphan GPCRs. We are conducting in vitro and in vivo preclinical efficacy studies and optimizing compounds for a number of targets. One of our priorities in this program is GPR174. In ex vivo human studies, our small-molecule inhibitors targeting GPR174 upregulate the production of cytokines (e.g., IL-2, interferon-γ), block multiple checkpoints (e.g., PDL-1, CTLA-4, LAG-3) and tumor promoters (e.g., amphiregulin), and suppress regulatory T-cells. Based on our data, we believe that GPR174 controls a major pathway in cancer and modulation of the receptor could provide a seminal advance in immuno-oncologic treatments for a wide range of tumors. Our recent discoveries suggest a new approach to cancer immunotherapy that targets inhibition of GPR174 and can be combined with and significantly improve the tumor-killing effects of adenosine pathway inhibitors. These discoveries include (i) identification of cancer-immunity pathways controlled by GPR174, (ii) the identification of phosphatidylserine as a natural ligand for GPR174, (iii) a collection of novel small-molecule inhibitors of GPR174 and (iv) a synergistic enhancement of “tumor-fighting” cytokine production by T cells following the combined inhibition of both GPR174 and the adenosine pathway (e.g., A2A and/or A2B), another key metabolic pathway that regulates tumor immunity. We continue to focus on GPR174 and several other of our GPCR targets with the objective of moving compounds targeting them into human trials.

Financial Summary

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized net losses of $16.5 million and $39.5 million, respectively, and our OMIDRIA revenues were $29.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively. During the period from January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018, OMIDRIA was not reimbursed separately when used for procedures involving patients covered by Medicare Part B. Separate reimbursement payment for OMIDRIA was restored for a two-year period effective October 1, 2018 as a result of securing an extension of pass-through reimbursement status. In its 2020 OPPS final rule, issued on November 1, 2019, CMS declined to grant separate payment to OMIDRIA beyond the expiration of its current pass-through status on September 30, 2020. CMS also noted in the 2020 final rule that it would continue to analyze evidence and monitor utilization of OMIDRIA. See “Commercial Product - OMIDRIA” earlier in this section for additional details regarding the pass-through reimbursement status for OMIDRIA.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, OMIDRIA revenue was $29.9 million and $78.4 million, respectively, as compared to $4.6 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in prior year was due to significantly increased demand for OMIDRIA by ASCs and hospitals following the reinstatement of transitional pass-through reimbursement status for OMIDRIA on October 1, 2018. As compared to the second quarter of 2019, OMIDRIA revenue for the third quarter of 2019 increased $3.1 million, or 11.6%, from $26.8 million due to increased demand for OMIDRIA.

We anticipate that OMIDRIA product sales, net, will continue to increase in the fourth quarter of 2019; however, we are unable to predict with precision the magnitude of those increases at the current time due to the uncertainty regarding the extent to which the November 1, 2019 issuance by CMS of the OPPS final rule for 2020 and/or the recently effective product specific J-code for OMIDRIA may impact sales. See “Commercial Product - OMIDRIA” earlier in this section for additional details regarding the pass-through reimbursement status for OMIDRIA.

Gross-to-Net Deductions

We record OMIDRIA product sales net of estimated chargebacks, rebates, distribution fees and product returns. These deductions are generally referred to as gross-to-net deductions. Our total gross-to-net provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 28.5% and 28.0% of gross OMIDRIA product sales, respectively. This compares to 28.7% and 27.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The primary reason for changes in gross-to-net deductions as a percentage of sales is due to changes in chargeback and rebates under our volume-purchase discount program. We expect our gross-to net deductions will increase slightly in the fourth quarter.

A summary of our gross-to-net related accruals for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:

Chargebacks and Rebates

We record a provision for estimated chargebacks and rebates at the time we recognize OMIDRIA product sales revenue and reduce the accrual when payments are made or credits are granted. Our chargebacks are related to a pharmaceutical pricing agreement, a Federal supply schedule agreement, a 340B prime vendor agreement, a Medicaid drug rebate agreement and beginning in April 2019, an off-invoice discount to our ASC and hospital customers. We also record a provision for estimated rebates for our OMIDRIAssure® patient assistance and reimbursement services program and our rebates under our purchase volume-discount programs.

Distribution Fees and Product Return Allowances

We pay our wholesalers a distribution fee for services they perform for us based on the dollar value of their purchases of OMIDRIA. We record a provision for these charges as a reduction to revenue at the time of sale to the wholesaler and make payments to our wholesalers based on contractual terms.

We allow for the return of product up to 12 months past its expiration date, or for product that is damaged or not used by our customers. We record a provision for returns upon sale of OMIDRIA to our wholesaler. When a return or claim is received, we issue a credit memo to the wholesaler against its outstanding receivable to us or we reimburse the customer.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses can be divided into three categories: direct external expenses, which include clinical research and development, preclinical research and development activities and manufacturing scale-up costs; internal, overhead and other expenses; and stock-based compensation expense. Direct external expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred pursuant to agreements with third-party manufacturing organizations, contract research organizations, clinical trial sites, collaborators, consultants, and lab supplies. Costs are reported in preclinical research and development until the program enters the clinic. Internal, overhead and other expenses consist of personnel costs, overhead costs such as rent, utilities and depreciation and other miscellaneous costs. We do not generally allocate our internal resources, employees and infrastructure to any individual research project because we deploy them across multiple clinical and preclinical projects that we are advancing in parallel.

Direct external expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, respectively. These decreases are due primarily to the timing of third-party manufacturing scale up costs of narsoplimab including development batches produced in 2018. Clinical costs associated with the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial for OMS527, our PDE7 program for addiction and compulsive disorders, are included herein beginning in July 2018. The increase in direct external expenses related to our preclinical research and development expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 reflects the increase in third-party manufacturing scale up costs related to our OMS906 program offset by the advancement of OMS527 into clinical research and development in July 2018.

The increases in internal, overhead and other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods are primarily due to additional employee-related costs to support our increased research and development activities.

The increase in stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods is due primarily to increases in the number of shares granted as our research and development staff has grown, as well as the Black-Scholes value per share being greater for annual performance grants made in 2019 compared to prior years.

A large majority of our research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 will be related to our narsoplimab program. We expect research and development costs to increase in the fourth quarter of 2019 as we incur incremental manufacturing scale-up costs in preparation for the planned submission of marketing applications for narsoplimab in HSCT-TMA and the potential commercialization of narsoplimab in HSCT-TMA in the U.S. and Europe.

At this time, we are unable to estimate with certainty the longer-term costs we will incur in the continued development of our product candidates due to the inherently unpredictable nature of our preclinical and clinical development activities. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially as new data become available and as expectations change. Our future research and development expenses will depend, in part, on the preclinical or clinical success of each product candidate as well as ongoing assessments of each program’s commercial potential. In addition, we cannot forecast with precision which product candidates, if any, may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

We are required to expend substantial resources in the development of our product candidates due to the lengthy process of completing clinical trials and seeking regulatory approval. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials, or

in obtaining regulatory approvals, could delay our generation of product revenue and increase our research and development expenses.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily due to increased pre-commercialization activities for narsoplimab, sales and marketing costs related to the re-introduction of OMIDRIA in October 2018, consulting and professional service fees, and employee-related costs.

The increase in stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods is due primarily to increases in the number of shares granted as our selling, general and administrative staff has grown, as well as the Black-Scholes value per share being greater for annual performance grants made in 2019 compared to prior years.

We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase slightly in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to current levels, primarily due to increased pre-commercialization activities for narsoplimab.

The increase in interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the issuance, in November 2018, of $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the Convertible Notes) which replaced $125.0 million of previously outstanding notes payable. Non-cash interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $2.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively. For more information regarding our Convertible Notes, see Part II, Item 8, “Note 8 — Convertible Senior Notes” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we generated net losses of $55.3 million and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $37.1 million. As of September 30, 2019, we had $27.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments available for general corporate use that are held principally in money-market accounts. Our accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2019 was $29.9 million and we had $46.8 million of current liabilities. Additionally, we have a Loan and Security Agreement (Loan Agreement), which provides for a $50.0 million revolving line of credit facility which allows us to draw, on a revolving basis, up to the lesser of $50.0 million and 85% of our eligible accounts receivable, less certain reserves. See Part I, Item I, Note 5 – “Debt” for more information regarding the Loan Agreement.

As described earlier in this section under “Commercial Product — OMIDRIA”, pass-through status for OMIDRIA allows for separate reimbursement payment (i.e., outside the packaged procedural payment) to ASCs and hospitals using OMIDRIA in procedures involving patients covered by Medicare Part B. OMIDRIA has been granted pass-through reimbursement through September 30, 2020. In its 2020 OPPS final rule, issued on November 1, 2019, CMS declined to grant separate payment to OMIDRIA beyond the expiration of its current pass-through status on September 30, 2020. CMS also noted in the 2020 final rule that it would continue to analyze evidence and monitor utilization of OMIDRIA.

We continue to advance a series of clinical and preclinical programs (including three programs currently in Phase 3). While we believe that OMIDRIA will obtain permanent separate payment beyond the scheduled expiration of pass-through reimbursement on September 30, 2020, we cannot at this time predict with precision future OMIDRIA revenues due to the uncertain impact of the 2020 OPPS final rule on sales of OMIDRIA in 2019 and 2020. As a result, despite our record OMIDRIA sales over consecutive quarters, meaningful growth in OMIDRIA sales in the fourth quarter 2019 and 2020 are not included in the determination regarding our prospects as a going concern. Similarly, we are unable to include in the determination amounts available under our revolving line of credit or any proceeds from debt transactions or other financing instruments despite our successful track record in accessing capital through these avenues. We also have not included any potential partnerships related to our products or product candidates. The conditions described above, when evaluated within the constraints of the accounting literature, raise substantial doubt with respect to our ability to meet our obligations through November 12, 2020 and, therefore, to continue as a going concern.

We plan to continue to fund a portion of our operations through proceeds from sales of OMIDRIA. Should it be necessary or determined to be strategically advantageous, we also could pursue debt financings, public and private offerings of our equity securities similar to those we have completed previously, and/or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing a portion of our existing technology. If these capital sources, for any reason, are needed but inaccessible, it would have a significantly negative effect on our financial condition. Should it be necessary to manage our operating expenses, we would reduce our projected cash requirements through reduction of our expenses by delaying clinical trials, reducing selected research and development efforts, and/or implementing other restructuring activities.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by $42.0 million as compared to the same period in 2018. The net decrease in cash used in operating activities in the current period compared to the prior year is due to a $48.0 million decrease in our net loss due to significantly increased sales following the reinstatement of pass-through reimbursement for OMIDRIA effective October 1, 2018, a $9.1 million increase in funds provided by increased accounts payable and accrued expense, and a $3.6 million increase in funds provided through a decrease in advance payments. These improvements to our cash used in operating activities were partially offset by a $22.0 million increase in funds used for accounts receivable due to increased OMIDRIA sales, and a $1.3 million increase in funds used to acquire OMIDRIA inventory.

Investing Activities. Cash flows from investing activities primarily reflect cash used to purchase short-term investments and proceeds from the sale of short-term investments, thus causing a shift between our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances. Because we manage our cash usage with respect to our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, we do not consider fluctuations in cash flows from investing activities to be important to the understanding of our liquidity and capital resources.

-28-

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $35.8 million, an increase of approximately $8.3 million from the $27.5 million net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, the net change in our investments sold compared to purchased decreased by $36.8 million. These net proceeds provided cash to fund our operations.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $4.2 million, a decrease of $46.7 million compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year was primarily due to $44.6 million in net proceeds from borrowing under our former term loan agreement with CRG Servicing LLC in May 2018. We did not have a similar borrowing during the 2019 period.

Loan and Security Agreement. On August 2, 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the Loan Agreement), which provides for a $50.0 million revolving line of credit facility. Under the Loan Agreement we may draw, on a revolving basis, up to the lesser of $50.0 million and 85.0% of our eligible accounts receivable, less certain reserves. The Loan Agreement is secured by all our assets excluding intellectual property and development program inventories and matures on August 2, 2022. As of September 30, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement and we were in compliance with all covenants. See Part I, Item 1, Note 5 – “Debt” for more information regarding the Loan Agreement.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our future minimum contractual commitments and obligations were reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Other than the following, our future minimum contractual obligations and commitments have not changed materially from the amounts previously reported.

Goods & Services

We have certain non-cancelable obligations under various other agreements for the acquisition of goods and services associated with the manufacturing of our product candidates that contain firm commitments. As of September 30, 2019, our aggregate firm commitments are $22.6 million.

We may also be required, in connection with in-licensing or asset acquisition agreements, to make certain royalty and milestone payments and we cannot, at this time, determine when or if the related milestones will be achieved or whether the events triggering the commencement of payment obligations will occur. Therefore, such payments are not included in the amount above.

Lease Agreements

We have operating leases related to our office and laboratory space in The Omeros Building. The initial term of the leases is through November 2027 and we have two options to extend the lease term, each by five years. We have finance leases for certain laboratory and office equipment that have lease terms expiring through December 2023. On January 1, 2019, we adopted Topic 842. The adoption did not change our contractual obligations related to lease agreements. See Part I, Item 1, Note 7 - “Lease Liabilities” for the maturities of our lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

There have not been any material changes in our critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates as disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption ASU 2016-02, Leases. See Part I, Item 1, Note 1 - “Organization and Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 7 - “Lease Liabilities” in this Form 10-Q for additional information about our adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is primarily confined to our investment securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our objectives, we maintain a portfolio of investments in high-credit-quality securities. As of September 30, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $27.3 million. In accordance with our investment policy, we invest funds in highly liquid, investment-grade securities. These securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged and are classified as available-for-sale. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a material negative impact on the realized value of our investment portfolio. We actively monitor changes in interest rates and, with our current portfolio of short-term investments, we are not exposed to potential loss due to changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2019. 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 the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We operate in an environment that involves a number of risks and uncertainties. Before making an investment decision you should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019.

PICTURE 1

5.5         If requested in writing by Omeros, Lonza will (acting as agent for Omeros for such purpose) arrange for insurance of Product whilst held by Lonza after Delivery (awaiting transportation) for a maximum of fourteen (14) days on terms equivalent to those under which Lonza insures product prior to Delivery. All additional costs and expenses of whatever nature incurred by Lonza in arranging such insurance shall be charged to Omeros in addition to the Price.

5.6         If requested in writing by Omeros, Lonza will (acting as agent of Omeros for such purpose) arrange the transportation of Product from Lonza’s premises to the destination indicated by Omeros together with insurance coverage for Product in transit at its invoiced value. All additional costs and expenses of whatever nature incurred by Lonza in arranging such transportation and insurance shall be charged to Omeros in addition to the Price.

5.7         Where Lonza has made arrangements for the transportation of Product, Omeros or its Third Party designee shall diligently examine the Product for transportation damage as soon as practicable after receipt. Notice of all claims (time being of the essence) arising out of:

(a) visible damage to or total or partial loss of Product in transit shall be given in writing to Lonza and the carrier within three (3) working days of receipt by Omeros; or

(b) non-delivery shall be given in writing to Lonza within ten (10) days after the date of Lonza’s despatch notice, which despatch notice shall be e-mailed contemporaneously with shipment to an Omeros project manager designated by Omeros.

5.8         Omeros shall make damaged Product and associated packaging materials available for inspection and shall comply with the requirements of any insurance policy covering the Product notified by Lonza to Omeros. Lonza shall offer Omeros all reasonable assistance (at the cost and expense of Omeros) in pursuing any claims arising out of the transportation of Product.

5.9         Promptly following receipt of Product or any sample thereof, Omeros may carry out any of the tests outlined or referred to in the Specifications or any SOW. Subject to Clause 2.2, if such tests show that the Product fails to meet Specifications, then Omeros shall provide Lonza written notice thereof (“Failure Notice”) within forty-five (45) days from the date of Release and shall, upon Lonza’s request and with Omeros’ agreement, return such Product to Lonza’s premises for further testing (at Lonza’s cost and expense if the Product is shown to fail to meet Specifications and such failure is due (in whole or in part) to the acts of omissions of Lonza). In the absence of such Failure Notice, Product shall be deemed to have been accepted by Omeros as meeting Specifications.

Subject to Clause 2.2, if a  Batch fails to meet the Specification prior to Delivery, or if Omeros has reasonably demonstrated to Lonza that Product that has been Delivered fails to meet Specification and that such failure is not due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of Omeros or any Third Party after Delivery, Lonza shall propose to Omeros a schedule for manufacture and Delivery of a  replacement for the failed Batch. Omeros may accept or reject the proposed replacement schedule of any failed Batch.  If Omeros accepts the proposed replacement schedule of any failed Batch, then Lonza shall Process and Deliver the replacement Batch in accordance with the agreed replacement schedule, and following Delivery, Omeros shall pay Lonza the remaining [***] of the Batch Price (taking into account the [***] payment already made by Omeros in respect of the failed Batch), provided, however, that if the agreed scheduled thaw date for the replacement Batch is later than [***] months after the scheduled Commencement Date of the original failed Batch, Lonza shall if requested by Omeros refund the initial [***] payment already made by Omeros and reinvoice Omeros for such payment to be made upon the rescheduled Commencement Date. If Omeros rejects the proposed replacement of any failed Batch, then Lonza shall issue a credit or, if requested by Omeros, pay a refund to Omeros for the amount of the Price previously paid that relates to the production of such failed Batch. In the event that Lonza is required to replace such Product, Lonza shall use all reasonable endeavours to do so with the minimum delay having regard to its commitments to third parties in the timing of such replacement. Omeros shall notify Lonza of any Latent Defect immediately upon discovery. Lonza shall be responsible for Latent Defects which are directly attributable to Lonza’s breach of obligations under this Agreement and Omeros shall have the same remedies available to it hereunder.

5.10       Subject to Clause 2.2, if there is any dispute concerning (i) whether Product fails to comply with Specifications or cGMP or (ii) whether such failure is due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of Omeros or any Third Party after Delivery, such dispute shall be referred for decision to an independent expert (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) to be appointed by agreement between Lonza and Omeros. The costs of such independent expert shall be borne equally between Lonza and Omeros. The decision of such independent expert shall be in writing and, save for manifest error on the face of the decision, shall be binding on both Lonza and Omeros.

5.11       Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of Clauses 2.4, 5.9 and 5.10 shall be the sole remedy available to Omeros in respect of Product that fails to meet Specification.

6.1.2      Minimum Order.  Commencing from the [***] of the [***] following Launch, Omeros commits to order and Lonza commits to supply not less than [***] Batches per calendar year (“Minimum Order”).  For purposes of illustration only,  the following is an example of the calculation for commencement of the Minimum Order: If Launch occurs on [***], then Omeros’ commitment to the Minimum Order begins for the calendar year commencing [***].

6.2         Forecasting for Batches

6.2.1      Forecast.  Omeros shall provide to Lonza, in writing, a rolling [***] forecast, based on desired Delivery date,  of the number of Batches to be ordered in each calendar year.  The forecast shall be updated [***] by Omeros  (e.g., each [***])  and is non-binding (the “Forecast”).

6.2.2      Forecast Response.  No later than [***]  following Lonza’s receipt of a Forecast, Lonza shall respond to each Forecast (“Forecast Response”) with a written schedule to Omeros of whether it has (as of the date of receipt of the Forecast) capacity available to manufacture the number of Batches  Forecasted therein, and shall provide Omeros with an estimated production schedule showing the estimated Commencement Date and Delivery date of such Batches.  Lonza shall schedule all Batches for manufacture in each calendar year as [***], unless otherwise requested by Omeros in the Forecast; provided, however, that, at its option, Omeros shall have the right to split annual aggregate orders of [***] or more Batches into [***] Campaigns, each at least as large as the Minimum Campaign size. If [***] Batches during a calendar year are split into [***] Campaigns at Omeros’ request, the Batch Price shall be determined based on the size of the [***] Campaigns.  If [***] Batches during a calendar year are split into [***] Campaigns by Lonza and not in response to a request by Omeros, the Batch Price shall be determined based on the aggregate number of Batches ordered in the Binding Order.

6.2.3      [***].

6.3          Purchase Orders

6.3.1      Omeros shall issue a Purchase Order for any Batches it wishes to order in accordance with the Lonza Forecast Response no later than [***] prior to the Commencement Date of each Campaign.

PICTURE 1

6.3.2      Lonza shall confirm the Commencement Date(s),  Delivery date(s) and number of Batches to be Delivered to Omeros as set out in each Purchase Order within [***] of receipt from Omeros of the relevant Purchase Order. Upon acceptance of each Purchase Order from Lonza, it will then be regarded by the Parties as a binding order (“Binding Order”).  Any Commencement Date or Delivery date set forth in Lonza’s written confirmation of a Purchase Order shall be an estimated date only,  provided that the estimated Commencement Date or Delivery date for a Batch by Lonza is no earlier or no later than [***] from Lonza’s most recent Forecast Response.

6.3.3      Omeros may request to add additional Batches into an existing Campaign under a Purchase Order with less than [***] prior notice and Lonza shall determine and notify Omeros within [***] of such request whether such additional Batches can be accommodated into that Campaign,  creating a Binding Order if accepted by Lonza.  For clarity, Lonza shall have no obligation to accept Purchase Orders for any requested additional Batches, or to reserve capacity prior to accepting such requested Purchase Orders.

6.3.4      Unless otherwise permitted by Lonza in its discretion, Omeros shall issue Purchase Orders for any Services other than Batch manufacture no later than [***] prior to the commencement of each of the Services or such earlier time as reasonably requested by Lonza.

6.3.4      Any additional or inconsistent terms or conditions of any Omeros-issued Purchase Orders, acknowledgement or similar standardized form given or received pursuant to this Agreement shall have no effect and such terms and conditions are hereby rejected, unless specifically acknowledged and accepted by Lonza.

6.4         Rescheduling

6.4.1      Lonza shall have the right to reschedule the Commencement Date and Delivery Date of any Batch or Campaign under Binding Order upon reasonable prior written notice to Omeros, delivered as soon as reasonably practicable following Lonza’s determination that it wishes to reschedule a Batch or Campaign; provided, that the rescheduled Commencement Date and Delivery Date is no earlier or no later than ninety (90) days from the Commencement Date and Release Date originally estimated at the time of Lonza’s confirmation of the Binding Order, and that any such Batches that are delayed by Lonza into a subsequent calendar year, shall count towards Omeros’ annual total for the originally scheduled calendar year for purposes of the Minimum Campaign or Minimum Order, as applicable.

6.4.2      Omeros shall have the right to request to reschedule any Batch or Campaign upon prior written notice to Lonza.  Lonza shall use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate such reschedule request from Omeros wherever possible, but whilst observing its contractual commitments of other customers.  [***] Omeros acknowledges that any such rescheduling request may not be fulfilled by Lonza.

6.5         Cancellation of a Batch under Binding Order

6.5.1      Omeros shall notify Lonza of any Batches (the Binding Order for which has been confirmed) that it wishes to cancel. Lonza shall use commercially reasonable efforts to try and secure a replacement batch for a new project, whilst observing its contractual commitments of other customers.

6.5.2      If Lonza is unable to resell the cancelled Batch(es), Omeros shall pay [***] of the Batch Price for each Batch cancelled in accordance with the previously agreed Batch Price payment schedule of [***] at scheduled Commencement Date and [***] at scheduled Release date.

6.5.3      If Lonza is able to resell any cancelled capacity to any Third Party then the cancellation fee provided for under Clause 6.5.2 for that Batch shall be waivered.

6.5.4      In addition, any Raw Materials that are irrevocably committed and shall expire before use in any other production Campaign shall be invoiced by Lonza and paid for by Omeros in accordance with the previously agreed scheduled Release date and the handling fee shall be paid for by Omeros.  Such Raw Materials may be either shipped to Omeros, stored for future use for Omeros, or disposed of as requested by Omeros.  All such Raw Materials paid for by Omeros shall be owned by Omeros.

6.6         Supply Failure

6.6.1      Following Launch of the Product, If Lonza fails (where failure,  for example, includes but is not limited to, failure to comply with the Master Batch Record during Processing of a Batch, failure of  a Batch to meet Specifications,  failure to Deliver a Batch, or failure due to reasons within Lonza’s control to Release a Batch)  to produce [***] or more Batches within a [***] (“Supply Failure”), Lonza 's remediation plan for the Supply Failure shall be to Deliver replacement Batches within [***] (or any such timeframe as agreed between the Parties) of such Supply Failure. In the event that Lonza is unable to Deliver replacement Batches within the above timeframe, Omeros may terminate this Agreement by providing [***] advance written notice.

All invoices are strictly net and payment must be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice unless disputed. Payment shall be made without deduction, deferment, set-off, lien or counterclaim of any nature.

7.2         Any invoices that are disputed by Omeros must be notified to Lonza in writing and within thirty (30) days of issue of the invoice by Lonza.  The Parties shall meet (in person or by telephone) within ten (10) days to resolve such dispute.  Payment shall be made promptly after resolution of the dispute.

(b) Lonza shall, at its sole discretion, and without prejudice to any other of its accrued rights, be entitled to suspend the provision of the Services or to treat this Agreement as repudiated on not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice in writing to Omeros given at any time thereafter unless such payment default is cured during or after such notice period and prior to repudiation.

7.4         Price Adjustments

7.4.1      Not more than once per calendar year, to be effective after March 31 of that year, Lonza may increase the Price for Batches in accordance with the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics Pharmaceutical Preparations Index, [***] (or any successor index) increase for the previous calendar year.  Any new Price reflecting a  Batch Price adjustment shall be effective only for Purchase Orders submitted in [***] and subsequent years and any Price increase shall not exceed [***% per annum].  Purchase Orders placed in a calendar year by Omeros for Delivery of Batch(es) in that same calendar year, and accepted by Lonza, shall not be subject to any Price increase.

7.4.2      In addition to the above, the Price may be changed by Lonza, upon reasonable prior written notice to Omeros (providing reasonable detail in support thereof), to reflect (i) any change in Process conditions that materially impact Lonza cost of manufacture and (ii)  any material change in an environmental, safety or regulatory standard to the extent such change materially impacts manufacturing costs exclusive of capital expenditures.

7.4.3      In the event Omeros awards a second product to Lonza the parties shall enter into good faith discussions to review the annual Price adjustments of Clause 7.

7.5         Invoicing

7.5.1      Invoices will not be provided to Omeros until the related activity is initiated or completed.

7.5.2      Lonza shall issue invoices to Omeros for [***] percent of the Price for Batches upon the Commencement Date of each Batch and [***] percent upon Release of each Batch, unless otherwise stated in the SOW or under a Binding Order, provided, however, that if a Batch is rejected the final [***] payment shall not become due until an investigation is completed and then payment responsibility will depend on the outcome of the investigation.  Lonza shall (a) issue invoices for Services (other than the manufacture of Batches) in accordance with the schedule set forth in the applicable SOW. Omeros shall pay all undisputed invoices within 30 days of receipt or as otherwise set forth in the SOW.

7.5.3      Charges for Raw Materials and the Raw Materials Fee for each Batch shall be invoiced upon the Release of each Batch.

7.5.4      The cost of Resins will be invoiced by Lonza to Omeros upon purchase of the Resins by Lonza.

7.5.5      Any External Laboratory testing costs associated with testing will be invoiced upon Delivery of Batch.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1         Neither Party will, as a result of this Agreement, acquire any right, title, or interest in any Intellectual Property that the other Party owns or controls as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, or that the other Party obtains ownership or control of separate and apart from the performance of the Services under this Agreement.

8.2         Lonza shall own all right, title and interest in “New General Application Intellectual Property,” which as used in this Agreement means Intellectual Property that Lonza and/or its Affiliates, contractors or agents develops, conceives, invents, reduces to practice or makes in the course of performance of the Services and that [***].

8.3         Except for and not including the New General Application Intellectual Property, Omeros shall own all right, title, and interest in (a) any and all Intellectual Property that Lonza and/or its Affiliates conceives, invents, reduces to practice, develops or makes, solely or jointly with Omeros or others, [***] and (b)[***] (collectively, the “New Omeros Intellectual Property”).  Omeros grants to Lonza a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the New Omeros Intellectual Property solely to the extent necessary for Lonza to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  No other license to the New Omeros Intellectual Property is hereby granted.  Lonza hereby assigns to Omeros and shall continue to assign to Omeros all of its right, title and interest in any New Omeros Intellectual Property. Lonza shall promptly disclose to Omeros in writing all New Omeros Intellectual Property. Lonza shall execute, and shall require Lonza’s personnel involved in the performance of the Services to execute, any documents required to confirm Omeros’ ownership of the New Omeros Intellectual Property, and any documents required to apply for, maintain and enforce any patent or other right in the New Omeros Intellectual Property. Upon Omeros’ request and at Omeros’ reasonable expense, and at no cost to Lonza, Lonza shall assist Omeros as may be necessary to apply for, maintain and enforce any patent or other right in the New Omeros Intellectual Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the term “New Omeros Intellectual Property” shall not under any circumstances be interpreted or defined to include any “New General Application Intellectual Property”.

9.3         Disclaimer. THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, AND, EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

9.4         Indemnification by Lonza. Subject to Clauses 9.6, 9.7 and 9.8 below, Lonza shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of Omeros (including Affiliates) and its directors, officers, and employees and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each an “Omeros Indemnitee”) from and against (i) any Third Party claim, loss, damage, costs and expenses (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity basis) arising directly out of any breach of the warranties given by Lonza in Clause 9.1 above or (ii) any Third Party claims alleging that Lonza’s use of Lonza Know-How (excluding use of Lonza Know-How with Omeros Materials or Omeros Information if such use of the Lonza Know-How would not be infringing unless used specifically with Omeros Materials or Omeros Information) infringes any rights (including without limitation any intellectual property rights) vested in a Third Party (whether or not Lonza knows or ought to have known the same) provided that there shall be excluded from this indemnity all Omeros revenue, in each case, to the extent that such claims resulted from the negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Agreement by the Omeros Indemnitee.  Lonza shall further indemnify and maintain Omeros promptly indemnified against all Third Party claims, actions, costs, expenses (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity basis) or other liabilities whatsoever caused by the negligent act or omission of Lonza in the Processing and/or supply of Product.

9.5         Indemnification by Omeros. Subject to Clauses 9.6 and 9.7 below, Omeros shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of Lonza (including Affiliates) and its directors, officers, and employees and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (each a “Lonza Indemnitee”) from and against (i) any Third Party claim, loss, damage, costs and expenses of any nature (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity basis), arising directly out of any breach of the warranties given by Omeros in Clause 9.2 above or (ii) any Third Party claims alleging Lonza’s use of the Omeros Cell Line, the Omeros Materials or the Omeros Information infringes any rights (including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights) vested in any Third Party (whether or not Omeros knows or ought to have known about the same) provided that for purposes of clarity there shall be excluded from this indemnity all Lonza actual or potential revenues other than those which are an integral part of any Price or fees that Omeros is obliged to pay to Lonza under this Agreement, in each case, to the extent that such claims resulted from the negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Agreement by the Lonza Indemnitee. Omeros shall further indemnify and maintain Lonza promptly indemnified against all Third Party claims, actions, costs, expenses (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity basis) or other liabilities whatsoever in respect of:

[***] CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT BOTH (A) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (B) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED

PICTURE 1

(a) any product liability in respect of Product, unless such liability is caused by the negligent act or omission of Lonza in the Processing and/or supply of Product; and

(b) any negligent or wilful act or omission of Omeros in relation to the use, Processing, storage or sale of the Product.

9.6         Indemnification Procedure. If a Lonza Indemnitee or Omeros Indemnitee (the “Indemnitee”) intends to claim indemnification under this Clause 9, it shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of such alleged liability. The Indemnitor shall have the right to control the defence thereof with counsel of its choice as long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee; provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense, for any reason, including if representation of any Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party reasonably represented by such counsel in such proceeding and provided further that the Indemnitor may not admit to any unlawful act or infringement of a Third Party’s Intellectual Property by the Indemnitee or agree to any invalidity or unenforceability of an Indemnitee’s patent rights without the indemnitee’s written consent. The Indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any liability covered by this Clause 9. The obligations of this Clause 9.6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any obligation to the Indemnitee under this Clause 9. It is understood that only Lonza or Omeros may claim indemnity under this Clause 9  (on its own behalf or on behalf of its Indemnitees), and other Indemnitees may not directly claim indemnity hereunder.

9.7         Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. Subject to the second sentence of this Clause 9.7, in no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party for incidental, indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages arising from or related to breach of this Agreement. The foregoing disclaimer of damages shall not apply in the case of (a) breach of Clause 10 (Confidentiality), (b) personal injury or death, or (c) grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful acts or omissions.

9.8         Limitation of Liability.  Except for Lonza’s indemnification obligations under Clause 9.4 and the exceptions set forth in the second sentence of Clause 9.7 and the second sentence of this Clause 9.8, in no event shall Lonza’s liability to Omeros for direct damages arising from or related to breach of this Agreement exceed [  ***] payable under this Agreement for Services, including under any Binding Orders not yet completed, by Omeros. The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply in the case of (a) breach of Clause 10 (Confidentiality), (b) personal injury or death, or (c) grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful acts or omissions.

10. Confidentiality

10.1       Omeros acknowledges that Lonza Know-How and Lonza acknowledges that Omeros Information with which it is supplied by the other pursuant to the Agreement, and Omeros Information that Lonza generates for Omeros during the course of performing Services under this Agreement, is supplied or generated, subject to Clause 10.5, in circumstances imparting an obligation of confidence and each agrees to keep such Lonza Know-How or such Omeros Information secret and confidential and to respect the other's proprietary rights therein and not at any time for any reason whatsoever to disclose or permit such Lonza Know-How or such Omeros Information to be disclosed to any Third Party save as expressly provided herein.

10.2       Omeros and Lonza shall each ensure that all their respective employees, consultants, contractors and persons for whom it is responsible having access to Lonza Know-How or Omeros Information shall be subject to the same obligations of confidence and non-use as the principals pursuant to Clauses 10.1 and 10.3 and shall be bound by secrecy and non-use agreements in support of such obligations, and Omeros and Lonza may share information with such employees, consultants, contractors and persons, in accordance with the foregoing obligations, on a need-to-know basis and solely for purposes of performance under this Agreement and to permit Omeros’ development and full use of the Product in conformance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.3       Lonza and Omeros each undertake not to disclose or permit to be disclosed to any Third Party (including, except as provided in Clause 10.2 above, any contractors or consultants not previously approved in writing by the Parties, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or otherwise make use of or permit to be made use of other than for purposes of performance under this Agreement (a) any trade secrets or confidential information relating to the technology, business affairs or finances of the other, any subsidiary, holding company or subsidiary or any such holding company of the other, or of any suppliers, agents, distributors, licensees or other customers of the other which comes into its possession under this Agreement or (b) the commercial terms of this Agreement except as required to be disclosed by applicable laws or regulations; provided, however, that, except for filings required under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and applicable rules promulgated

[***] CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT BOTH (A) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (B) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED

PICTURE 1

thereunder, in each case to any extent that such information is required to be disclosed pursuant to subpoena, court order, judicial process or otherwise by law, provided the receiving Party provides prompt notice to the disclosing Party of such requirement in order to give the disclosing Party an opportunity to timely seek a protective order or other appropriate judicial relief. In the event the disclosing Party is unable to obtain a protective order or other appropriate judicial relief, the receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the disclosing Party’s confidential information which is legally required to be disclosed, and ensure that all such confidential information of the disclosing Party shall be redacted to the fullest extent permitted by law prior to such disclosure and that the disclosing Party shall be given an opportunity to review the confidential information prior to its disclosure.

10.4       The obligations of confidence and non-use referred to in this Clause 10 shall not extend to any information which the Party seeking to disclose such information:

(a) is or becomes generally available to the public otherwise than by reason of a breach by the receiving Party of the provisions of this Clause 10;

(b) is known to the receiving Party and is at its free disposal prior to its receipt from the disclosing Party;

(c) is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party without being made subject to an obligation of confidence by a third Party;

(d) Lonza or Omeros may be required to disclose under any statutory, regulatory or similar legislative requirement, subject to the imposition of obligations of secrecy wherever possible in that relation; or

(e) is developed by any servant or agent of the receiving Party without access to or use or knowledge of the information by the disclosing Party.

10.5       The Parties acknowledge that:

(a) without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Parties may have, the Parties agree that the Lonza Know-How and Omeros Information is valuable and that damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Clause 10. The Parties agree that the relevant Party will be entitled without proof of special damage to seek the remedies of an injunction and other equitable relief for any actual or threatened breach by the other Party;

(b) save as provided herein Lonza shall not at any time have any right, title, license or interest in or to Omeros Information, Omeros Patent Rights or any other intellectual property rights vested in Omeros or to which Omeros is entitled; and

(c) Omeros shall not at any time have any right, title, license or interest in or to Lonza Know-How, the Lonza Patent Rights or any other intellectual property rights relating to the Process which are vested in Lonza or to which Lonza is otherwise entitled.

10.6       Following ten (10) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall have no affirmative obligations under Clauses 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 except with respect to trade secrets and/or know-how, for which all affirmative obligations of this Clause 10 will continue for so long as such information remains a trade secret and/or know-how under applicable law. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, this Clause 10.6 shall not be construed as the grant of any license or any other right to either Party to use at any time the Intellectual Property, know-how, or confidential Information of the other Party except as set forth expressly in this Agreement or in connection with the ordinary course of performance under this Agreement.

11.  Audits, Inspections and Records

11.1       Once annually during the term of this Agreement, and subject to Lonza’s obligations of confidentiality to Third Parties, Lonza will permit Omeros to conduct one quality assurance audit of those portions of the Facilities and Quality Systems where Services are being conducted upon reasonable advance notice and at reasonable times during regular business hours, provided, however, that Omeros may conduct additional “for cause” audits following issuance of Form FDA-483s, GMP inspection reports or similar reports delivered by Regulatory Authorities to Lonza pertaining to the Processing of Product, performance of other Services for Omeros, or the occurrence of other events which are likely to adversely affect the Processing of Product or other Services for Omeros as frequently as requested by Omeros, at reasonable times and for reasonable duration, until Lonza has corrected such deficiencies and as set out further in a separate Quality Agreement. Additionally, Lonza will permit Omeros to conduct a  mock pre-approval inspection audit, not to exceed three (3) days in duration or as otherwise reasonably required, in support of Regulatory Applications or cGMP Qualified Person audit to support Qualified Person batch certification.

11.2       Each Party shall notify the other Party promptly of any inspection or inquiry by any Regulatory Authority concerning the Lonza Facilities to the extent pertaining to processing of cell banks, drug substance or drug product, any SOW or Processing of Product and as set out further in a separate Quality Agreement.  Each Party shall cooperate with Regulatory Authorities in connection with any such inspection or inquiry and shall cooperate with the other Party in providing the information needed for any

[***] CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT BOTH (A) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (B) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED

PICTURE 1

response.  Each Party acknowledges that it may not direct the manner in which the other Party fulfils its obligations to permit inspection by a Regulatory Authority.

11.3       Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, Lonza shall maintain materially complete and accurate batch, laboratory and other technical records related to Product for the minimum period required by Applicable Laws, in accordance with Lonza’s standard operating procedures and as set out further in the Master Batch Record and the Quality Agreement.

11.4       Lonza and Omeros shall allocate responsibility for complying with cGMP (if applicable) between themselves as set forth in the Quality Agreement. Each Party shall provide the other with all reasonable assistance and take all actions reasonably requested by the other to enable the requesting Party to comply with any Applicable Laws relating to the performance by a Party of its obligations hereunder.
