TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NASDAQ: TXMD) has successfully completed the previously announced transaction with Mayne Pharma Group Limited, an ASX-listed specialty pharmaceutical company. Through this agreement, TherapeuticsMD has granted Mayne Pharma exclusive license to commercialize TXMD’s products in the United States, as well as sold certain assets to facilitate the commercialization of the products. This is an exciting opportunity for both companies to expand their reach and meet the needs of women’s healthcare.
TXMD received a generous compensation package for the license grant and sale of certain assets, including an upfront cash payment of $140.0 million plus an additional $13.1 million for the acquisition of working capital and prepaid royalties. TXMD is also eligible for up to $30.0 million in milestone payments, and royalties of 7.5%-8.0% over a 20-year period, with minimum annual royalties of $3.0 million for 12 years (inflation-adjusted). The $1.0 million in prepaid royalties at closing will reduce the first four quarterly royalty payments.
The Company utilized a portion of the proceeds to repay all its outstanding debt under the Financing Agreement with Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. Furthermore, the Company redeemed all its 29,000 outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,333 per share, and to sweeten the deal, paid approximately $3.0 million to Rubric Capital Management LP affiliates as a make-whole payment.
We are delighted to have completed our transaction with Mayne Pharma, which enabled us to pay off our debt, redeem our preferred stocks, and provide our common shareholders with a long-term stream of royalty revenue. With Mayne Pharma’s extensive experience and commercial acumen, we have no doubt that they will take excellent care of our products. The Honorable Tommy Thompson, Executive Chairman of TherapeuticsMD, further commented that this transaction provides our shareholders with value that will last for decades.
Upon the successful completion of the transaction, the Company’s board of directors said goodbye to Mr. Paul M. Bisaro, Ms. Karen L. Ling, Mr. Jules A. Musing and Mr. Angus C. Russell.
