(“Vyne”) for an upfront payment of $20.0 million and an additional $5.0 million payment on the one (1)-year anniversary of the closing (the “Vyne Product Acquisition”). This expanded the Company’s product portfolio to nine marketed branded dermatology products. The Company also acquired certain associated inventory.

The Vyne Product Acquisition also provides for contingent net sales milestone payments, on a product by product basis. In the first calendar year in which annual sales reach each of $100 million, $200 million, $300 million, $400 million and $500 million, a one-time payment of $10 million, $20 million, $30 million, $40 million and $50 million, respectively, will be paid in that year only, per product, totaling up to $450 million. In addition, the Company will pay Vyne 10% of any upfront payment received by the Company from a licensee or sublicensee of the products in any territory outside of the United States, subject to exceptions for certain jurisdictions as detailed in the Vyne Product Acquisition purchase agreement.
