NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in millions, except per share data)

1. Interim Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Regeneron," "Company," "we," "us," and "our") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair statement of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for such periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The December 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform with the current period's presentation.
Effective January 1, 2020, we changed the presentation of cost reimbursements from collaborators who are not deemed to be our customers from collaboration revenue to a reduction of the corresponding operating expense (i.e., either Research and development or Selling, general, and administrative) incurred by us. We also changed the presentation of amounts recognized in connection with up-front and development milestone payments received from collaboration revenue to other operating income. We made these changes in presentation because we believe the new presentation is preferable, as it better reflects the nature of the Company’s costs incurred and revenues earned pursuant to arrangements with collaborators and enhances the comparability of our financial statements with industry peers.
The change in presentation has been applied retrospectively. The tables below present the impact of the change on the Company’s previously-filed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company’s previously-filed balance sheet has been updated to reflect the addition of the caption Other liabilities for the presentation of up-front and development milestones paid by collaborators that are deferred. There was no impact on the Company’s previously-filed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations is highly uncertain and subject to change. We considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our estimates and assumptions and there was not a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and there may be changes to our estimates in future periods.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
We adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), as of January 1, 2020. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to measure and recognize expected credit losses for certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, as an allowance that reflects the entity's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized credit losses, the standard requires allowances to be recorded through net income instead of directly reducing the amortized cost of the investment under the previous other-than-temporary impairment model. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements or a significant impact on our internal controls.

3. Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements
We have entered into various collaborative arrangements to research, develop, manufacture, and commercialize product candidates and utilize our technology platforms. Although each of these arrangements is unique in nature, such arrangements involve a joint operating activity where both parties are active participants in the activities of the collaboration and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activities.
In arrangements where we do not deem our collaborator to be our customer, payments to and from our collaborator are presented in our statement of operations based on the nature of our business operations, the nature of the arrangement, including the contractual terms, and the nature of the payments, as summarized in the table and further described below.

In agreements involving multiple goods or services promised to be transferred to our collaborator, we must assess, at the inception of the contract, whether each promise represents a separate obligation (i.e., is "distinct"), or whether such promises should be combined as a single unit of account. When we have a combined unit of account which includes a license and providing research and development services to our collaborator, recognition of up-front payments and development milestones earned from our collaborator is deferred (as a liability) and recognized over the development period (i.e., over time). In arrangements where we satisfy our obligation(s) during the development phase over time, we recognize amounts initially deferred over time typically using an input method on the basis of our research and development costs incurred relative to the total expected cost which determines the extent of our progress toward completion. We review our estimates each period and make revisions to such estimates as necessary.
When we are entitled to reimbursement of all or a portion of the research and development expenses that we incur under a collaboration, we record those reimbursable amounts in the period in which such costs are incurred. In connection with the commercialization phase of our collaborative arrangements, we may be obligated to perform commercialization-related activities on behalf of the collaboration. If we are reimbursed for all or a portion of costs incurred for the commercialization-related activities, we record those reimbursable amounts in the period in which such costs are incurred.
Under certain of the Company's collaboration agreements, product sales and cost of sales may be recorded by the Company's collaborators as they are deemed to be the principal in the transaction. In arrangements where we:
are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply commercial product to our collaborator, we may be reimbursed for our manufacturing costs as commercial product is shipped to the collaborator; however, recognition of such cost reimbursements is deferred until the product is sold by our collaborator to third-party customers;
share in any profits or losses arising from the commercialization of such products, we record our share of the variable consideration, representing net product sales less cost of goods sold and shared commercialization and other expenses, in the period in which such underlying sales occur and costs are incurred by the collaborator; and
receive royalties and/or sales-based milestone payments from our collaborator, we recognize such amounts in the period earned.
Our collaborators provide us with estimates of product sales and our share of profits or losses, as applicable, for such quarter. These estimates are reconciled to actual results in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and collaboration revenue is adjusted accordingly, as necessary.

Antibody
The Company is party to a global, strategic collaboration with Sanofi to research, develop, and commercialize fully human monoclonal antibodies (the "Antibody Collaboration"). Under the companies' Antibody License and Collaboration Agreement (the "LCA"), following receipt of the first positive Phase 3 trial results for a co-developed drug candidate, subsequent Phase 3 trial-related costs for that drug candidate ("Shared Phase 3 Trial Costs") are generally shared 80% by Sanofi and 20% by Regeneron. All other agreed-upon worldwide development expenses incurred by both companies are funded by Sanofi.
Effective January 2018, the Company and Sanofi entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") in connection with, among other matters, the allocation of additional funds to certain activities relating to dupilumab and itepekimab (collectively, the "Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments"). Refer to the "Immuno-Oncology" section below for further details regarding the Letter Agreement and Note 10 for additional information regarding shares purchased by us from Sanofi during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Sanofi leads commercialization activities for products developed under the Antibody Collaboration, subject to the Company's right to co-commercialize such products. See discussion below related to the development and commercialization of Praluent

effective April 1, 2020. In addition to profit and loss sharing, the Company is entitled to receive sales milestone payments from Sanofi. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company earned, and recognized as revenue, the first $50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $1.0 billion on a rolling twelve-month basis. We are entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $200.0 million in additional sales milestone payments from Sanofi.

In April 2020, the Company and Sanofi entered into an amendment to the LCA in connection with, among other things, the removal of Praluent from the LCA such that (i) effective April 1, 2020, the LCA no longer governs the development, manufacture, or commercialization of Praluent and (ii) the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 is the last quarter for which Sanofi and the Company will share profits and losses for Praluent under the LCA. The parties also entered into a Praluent Cross License & Commercialization Agreement (the "Praluent Agreement") pursuant to which, effective April 1, 2020, the Company, at its sole cost, is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent in the United States, and Sanofi, at its sole cost, is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent outside of the United States. Under the Praluent Agreement, Sanofi will pay the Company a 5% royalty on Sanofi’s net product sales of Praluent outside the United States until March 31, 2032. The Company will not owe Sanofi royalties on the Company’s net product sales of Praluent in the United States. Although each party will be responsible for manufacturing Praluent for its respective territory, the parties have entered into definitive supply agreements under which, for a certain transitional period, the Company will continue to supply drug substance to Sanofi and Sanofi will continue to supply finished product to Regeneron.
With respect to any intellectual property or product liability litigation relating to Praluent, the parties have agreed that, effective April 1, 2020, Regeneron and Sanofi each will be solely responsible for any such litigation (including damages and other costs and expenses thereof) in the United States and outside the United States, respectively, arising out of Praluent sales or other activities on or after April 1, 2020 (subject to Sanofi's right to set off a portion of any third-party royalty payments resulting from certain patent litigation proceedings against up to 50% of any Praluent royalty payment owed to Regeneron). The parties will each bear 50% of any damages arising out of Praluent sales or other activities prior to April 1, 2020. See Note 12 for discussion of legal proceedings related to Praluent.
Immuno-Oncology
The Company is party to a collaboration with Sanofi to research, develop, and commercialize antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (the "IO Collaboration"). The IO Collaboration is governed by an Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement ("Amended IO Discovery Agreement"), and an Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement ("IO License and Collaboration Agreement").
Effective December 31, 2018, the Company and Sanofi entered into the Amended IO Discovery Agreement, which narrowed the scope of the existing discovery and development activities conducted by the Company ("IO Development Activities") under the 2015 IO Discovery Agreement to developing therapeutic bispecific antibodies targeting (i) BCMA and CD3 (the "BCMAxCD3 Program") and (ii) MUC16 and CD3 (the "MUC16xCD3 Program") through clinical proof-of-concept. If Sanofi exercises its option to license rights to a BCMAxCD3 Program antibody or MUC16xCD3 Program antibody thereunder, it will co-develop these drug candidates with the Company through product approval. Sanofi will fund development costs up front for a BCMAxCD3 Program antibody and we will reimburse half of the total development costs for such antibody from our share of future IO Collaboration profits to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose. In addition, we and Sanofi will share equally, on an ongoing basis, the development costs for a MUC16xCD3 Program antibody.
Under the terms of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, the parties are co-developing and co-commercializing Libtayo (cemiplimab), an antibody targeting the receptor known as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). The parties share equally, on an ongoing basis, agreed-upon development and commercialization expenses for Libtayo. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Libtayo development budget was increased and the Company has agreed to allow Sanofi to satisfy in whole or in part its funding obligations with respect to the Libtayo development and Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments incurred in

In July 2020, we entered into an agreement with entities acting at the direction of BARDA and the U.S. Department of Defense to manufacture and deliver filled and finished REGN-COV2 to the U.S. government. The agreement could result in payments to the Company of up to $450.2 million in the aggregate for bulk manufacturing of the drug substance, as well as fill/finish and storage activities. See Note 2 for REGN-COV2 net product sales recognized in connection with this agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
4. Net Income Per Share
The Company's basic net income per share amounts have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding. Net income per share is presented on a combined basis, inclusive of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding, as each class of stock has equivalent economic rights. Diluted net income per share includes the potential dilutive effect of other securities as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period, when the effect is dilutive.

8. Debt
Bridge Loan Facility
As described in Note 10, we purchased shares of our Common Stock from Sanofi, in connection with Sanofi's secondary offering of our Common Stock held by Sanofi, with a combination of cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and proceeds from loans under a $1.5 billion senior unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility (the "Bridge Facility") which was entered into in May 2020. The loans under the Bridge Facility bore interest at a variable interest rate based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate or the alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin that varied with our debt rating and total leverage ratio. The Bridge Facility was repaid in full during the third quarter of 2020 following the closing of the issuance and sale of the Company's senior notes (as described below).
Senior Notes
In August 2020, we issued and sold $1.250 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes") and $750 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2050 (the "2050 Notes" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the "Notes"). Net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses) were used in part to repay in full the Bridge Facility described above. The underwriting discounts and offering expenses are being amortized as additional interest expense over the period from issuance through maturity.
The 2030 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 1.750% per year and will mature on September 15, 2030. The 2050 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 2.800% per year and will mature on September 15, 2050. Interest on each series of Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year until their respective maturity dates. Interest expense related to the Notes for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $6.4 million.
The Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option at any time at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, and, until a specified period before maturity, a specified make-whole amount. The Notes contain a change-of-control provision that, under certain circumstances, may require the Company to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Notes also contain certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions, as well as customary events of default.

9. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 15.6% and 12.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 8.6% and 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was positively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily by stock-based compensation, and, to a lesser extent, income earned in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate and federal tax credits for research activities.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was positively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily by federal tax credits for research activities, the foreign-derived intangible income deduction, and income earned in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, partly offset by the taxation of certain global intangible low-taxed income and the non-deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee.
The Company believes it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2020 may decrease within the next twelve months, and, as a result, positively impact our effective tax rate, as a result of expected settlement of audits and statute of limitation lapses.
10. Stockholders' Equity
Share Repurchase Program
In November 2019, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our Common Stock. The share repurchase program permits the Company to effect repurchases through a variety of methods, including open-market transactions (including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, block trades, and other transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Repurchases may be made from time to time at management’s discretion, and the timing and amount of any such repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The program has no time limit and can be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases in the future.
The table below summarizes the shares of our Common Stock we repurchased during 2020 under the program and the cost of the shares received, which were recorded as Treasury Stock.

12. Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings in the course of the Company's business. Costs associated with the Company's involvement in legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. The outcome of any such proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. The Company recognizes accruals for loss contingencies associated with such proceedings when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had accruals for loss contingencies of $132.2 million and $100.0 million, respectively. If the Company were unable to prevail in any such proceedings, its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and future cash flows may be materially impacted.
Proceedings Relating to '287 Patent and '163 Patent
The Company is a party to patent infringement litigation initiated by the Company involving its European Patent No. 1,360,287 (the "'287 Patent") and its European Patent No. 2,264,163 (the "'163 Patent"). Each of these patents concerns genetically engineered mice capable of producing chimeric antibodies that are part human and part mouse. Chimeric antibody sequences can be used to produce high-affinity fully human monoclonal antibodies. In these proceedings, the Company claims infringement of several claims of the '287 Patent and the '163 Patent (as applicable), and seeks, among other types of relief, an injunction and an account of profits in connection with the defendants' infringing acts, which may include, among other things, the making, use, keeping, sale, or offer for sale of genetically engineered mice (or certain cells from which they are derived) that infringe one or more claims of the '287 Patent and the '163 Patent (as applicable).
On September 25, 2013, the Company commenced patent infringement litigation against Kymab Ltd in the English High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Patents Court, in London, asserting the '287 Patent and '163 Patent. Following a trial to adjudicate the claims of infringement and counterclaims of invalidity of the '287 Patent and the '163 Patent, the court issued a final judgment on February 1, 2016, finding that the asserted claims of the '287 and '163 Patents are novel, not obvious, and infringed by Kymab's genetically engineered mice. However, the court invalidated the '287 and '163 Patents on the ground of insufficiency. On appeal, the Court of Appeal (Civil Division of England and Wales) reversed the English High Court's decision and held that the '287 Patent and '163 Patent are both valid and infringed by Kymab and subsequently issued a final order, which enjoined Kymab from infringing the '287 Patent and '163 Patent (subject to certain exceptions) and required Kymab to destroy or deliver to a third party all products and antibodies and cells engineered to produce antibodies which infringe the '287 Patent and '163 Patent (subject to certain exceptions). On June 24, 2020, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom overturned the decision of the Court of Appeal on validity and held that the '287 and '163 Patents are each invalid on the ground of insufficiency.
On July 8 and July 13, 2016, notices of opposition against the '163 Patent were filed in the European Patent Office (the "EPO") by Merus N.V. and Kymab and Novo Nordisk A/S, respectively. The notices assert, as applicable, lack of novelty, lack of inventive step, and insufficiency. Following an oral hearing before the Opposition Division of the EPO on February 5–7, 2018, the Opposition Division upheld the '163 Patent without amendments. Kymab, Merus, and Novo Nordisk each filed a notice of appeal of the Opposition Division's decision on February 9, 2018, May 25, 2018, and June 26, 2018, respectively. On January 7, 2019, Merus withdrew its appeal of the '163 Patent in the EPO in connection with the previously reported global settlement.
Proceedings Relating to Praluent (alirocumab) Injection
As described in greater detail below, the Company is currently a party to patent infringement actions initiated by Amgen Inc. (and/or its affiliated entities) against the Company and/or Sanofi (and/or the Company's and Sanofi's respective affiliated entities) in a number of jurisdictions relating to Praluent. See Note 3 for a description of the Company's and Sanofi's arrangement regarding the costs resulting from or associated with such actions.

United States
In the United States, Amgen has asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,829,165 (the "'165 Patent") and 8,859,741 (the "'741 Patent"), and seeks a permanent injunction to prevent the Company and the Sanofi defendants from commercial manufacturing, using, offering to sell, or selling within the United States (as well as importing into the United States) (collectively, "Commercializing") Praluent. Amgen also seeks a judgment of patent infringement of the asserted patents, monetary damages (together with interest), costs and expenses of the lawsuits, and attorneys' fees. The first jury trial in this litigation (the "First Trial") was held in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the "District Court") from March 8 to March 16, 2016. During the course of the First Trial, the District Court ruled as a matter of law in favor of Amgen that the asserted patent claims were not obvious, and in favor of the Company and the Sanofi defendants that there was no willful infringement of the asserted patent claims by the Company or the Sanofi defendants. On March 16, 2016, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Amgen in the First Trial, finding that the asserted claims of the '165 and '741 Patents were not invalid based on either a lack of written description or a lack of enablement. On October 5, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Federal Circuit") reversed in part the District Court's decision and remanded for a new trial on the issues of written description and enablement. In addition, it affirmed the District Court's ruling that Amgen's patents were not obvious.
On January 3, 2019, the District Court held oral argument in the remanded proceedings on the Company and the Sanofi defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings regarding Amgen's willful infringement claim. On January 18, 2019, the District Court entered an order (i) denying the Company and the Sanofi defendants' motion for summary judgment on validity, (ii) denying Amgen's motion for partial summary judgment on estoppel, and (iii) granting the Company and the Sanofi defendants' cross-motion for summary judgment on estoppel. On February 8, 2019, the District Court granted the Company and the Sanofi defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings, thereby dismissing Amgen's claim of willful infringement. The second jury trial in this litigation (the "Second Trial") was held before the District Court in February 2019 to determine the validity of Amgen's asserted patent claims. On February 25, 2019, the jury returned a verdict in the Second Trial generally in favor of Amgen, finding that two claims of the '165 Patent and one claim of the '741 Patent were not invalid. The jury also found that two claims of the '165 Patent were invalid for lack of adequate written description while rejecting the lack of enablement challenges to those two claims. On August 28, 2019, the District Court ruled as a matter of law that Amgen's asserted patent claims are invalid based on lack of enablement. The District Court also conditionally denied the Company and the Sanofi defendants' motion for a new trial. On October 23, 2019, Amgen filed a notice of appeal of the District Court's decision with the Federal Circuit. An oral hearing before the Federal Circuit has been scheduled for December 9, 2020.
On March 18, 2019, Amgen filed a renewed motion for a permanent injunction to prohibit the Company and the Sanofi defendants from Commercializing Praluent in the United States (a "Permanent Injunction"), and an oral hearing on this motion was held in June 2019. Previously, the Federal Circuit stayed and then vacated a Permanent Injunction granted by the District Court in connection with the First Trial. On August 28, 2019, the District Court dismissed as moot Amgen's renewed motion for a Permanent Injunction.
Europe
United Kingdom. On July 25, 2016, Amgen filed a lawsuit against Regeneron, Sanofi-Aventis Groupe S.A., Sanofi-Synthelabo Limited, Aventis Pharma Limited, Sanofi Winthrop Industrie S.A., and Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH in the English High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Patents Court, in London, seeking a declaration of infringement of Amgen's European Patent No. 2,215,124 (the "'124 Patent"), which pertains to PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies, by Praluent. The lawsuit also seeks a permanent injunction, damages, an accounting of profits, and costs and interest. On February 8, 2017, the court temporarily stayed this litigation on terms mutually agreed by the parties. On October 22, 2020, the court lifted the stay upon application by the Company and the Sanofi defendants, and the case will proceed in due course.
Germany. On July 25, 2016, Amgen filed a lawsuit for infringement of the '124 Patent against Regeneron, Sanofi-Aventis Groupe S.A., Sanofi Winthrop Industrie S.A., and Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH in the Regional Court of Düsseldorf, Germany (the "Düsseldorf Regional Court"), seeking a permanent injunction, an accounting of marketing activities, a recall of Praluent and its removal from distribution channels, and damages. On November 14, 2017, the Düsseldorf Regional Court issued a decision staying the infringement proceedings until a decision of the Opposition Division of the EPO concerning the pending opposition filed by the Company, Sanofi, and several other opponents against the '124 Patent (as discussed below). Following Amgen's request to reopen the proceedings in light of the issuance of the Preliminary Opinion (as defined below), the Düsseldorf Regional Court held an oral hearing on September 11, 2018 and ruled on December 10, 2018 that the infringement proceedings would be reopened. On July 11, 2019, the Düsseldorf Regional Court found that Praluent infringes the '124 Patent and granted an injunction prohibiting the Company and Sanofi's manufacture, sale, and marketing of Praluent in Germany (the

"July 11 Decision"). Amgen subsequently enforced the injunction and, as a result, commercialization of Praluent in Germany has been discontinued. On July 12, 2019, the Company and Sanofi appealed the July 11 Decision to the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf (the "Higher Regional Court"). An oral hearing on the merits of the appeal to the Higher Regional Court (originally scheduled for April 2, 2020) has been rescheduled for November 5, 2020. On August 5, 2019 and October 31, 2019, the Higher Regional Court denied the Company and Sanofi's requests for a stay of preliminary enforcement of the July 11 Decision pending the appeal on the merits. On November 3, 2020, Amgen filed a motion withdrawing this lawsuit without prejudice.
France. On September 26, 2016, Amgen filed a lawsuit for infringement of the '124 Patent in the Tribunal de grande instance in Paris, France against Regeneron, Sanofi-Aventis Groupe S.A., Sanofi Winthrop Industrie S.A., and Sanofi Chimie (subsequently added as a defendant). Amgen is seeking the prohibition of allegedly infringing activities with a €10,000 penalty per drug unit of Praluent produced in violation of the court order sought by Amgen; an appointment of an expert for the assessment of damages; disclosure of technical (including supply-chain) and accounting information to the expert and the court; provisional damages of €10.0 million (which would be awarded on an interim basis pending final determination); reimbursement of costs; publication of the ruling in three newspapers; and provisional enforcement of the decision to be issued, which would ensure enforcement of the decision (including any provisional damages) pending appeal. Amgen is not seeking a preliminary injunction in this proceeding at this time. On April 10, 2017, the Company and the Sanofi parties filed briefs seeking invalidation of certain of the claims of the '124 Patent, and Amgen filed a response on July 28, 2017. Oral hearing on this infringement lawsuit (originally scheduled for February 12, 2019) has yet to be rescheduled.
The Netherlands. On December 17, 2019, Amgen initiated a lawsuit alleging infringement of the Dutch designation of the '124 Patent in the District Court of The Hague in the Netherlands, against Sanofi-Aventis Netherlands B.V. and Sanofi-Aventis Groupe S.A. The Company has not been named as a defendant in this action. Amgen alleges, among other things, patent infringement based on the production, importation, and commercialization of Praluent (alirocumab) in the Netherlands. Amgen's requests are made on an accelerated basis and include, among other things, a request for a permanent injunction, damages, an order for customer information, a recall order, a destruction order, and an order for costs. A trial has been scheduled for February 12, 2021.
Italy. On December 20, 2019, Amgen filed a lawsuit for infringement of the Italian designation of the '124 Patent in the Tribunale di Milano - Enterprise Chamber in Milan, Italy, against Sanofi-Aventis Groupe S.A., Sanofi Chimie, and Sanofi SpA. The Company has not been named as a defendant in this action. Amgen alleges that the production, importation, and commercialization of Praluent (alirocumab) in Italy infringes the '124 Patent. The writ of summons filed by Amgen seeks, among other things, a declaration of infringement, a permanent injunction, withdrawal of product from the market, and damages. On June 24, 2020, Amgen also filed a preliminary injunction motion against the Sanofi parties. On August 12, 2020, the court denied Amgen's preliminary injunction motion.
Spain. On December 20, 2019, Amgen also filed a lawsuit alleging infringement of the Spanish designation of the '124 Patent in the Juzgado de lo Mercantil No. 5 (Commercial Court) in Barcelona, Spain, against Sanofi-Aventis, S.A. The Company was not named as a defendant in this action. Amgen alleged, among other things, patent infringement based on the manufacture, offering for sale, introduction into the market, use, and importation or possession of Praluent (alirocumab) in Spain. Amgen sought, among other things, a permanent injunction, withdrawal of Praluent from the market, seizure and destruction of Praluent from the market and in storage, and damages in the form of lost profits and costs and expenses. On May 12, 2020, the court stayed this lawsuit until October 30, 2020 on terms mutually agreed by the parties. On October 30, 2020, the stay was automatically lifted. On November 2, 2020, Amgen filed a motion withdrawing this lawsuit.
EPO Proceedings. The '124 Patent is also subject to opposition proceedings in the EPO seeking to invalidate certain of its claims, which were initiated by Sanofi on February 24, 2016 and, separately, by the Company, Sanofi, and several other opponents on November 24, 2016. On December 13, 2017, the Opposition Division of the EPO issued a preliminary, non-binding opinion (the "Preliminary Opinion") regarding the validity of the '124 Patent, indicating that it currently considers the claims of a new request filed by Amgen in response to the opposition to satisfy the requirements for patentability. An oral hearing on the oppositions against the '124 Patent was held on November 28–30, 2018, at which the Opposition Division upheld the validity of the '124 Patent's claims in amended form. The Company and Sanofi filed notices of appeal to the Technical Board of Appeal (the "TBA") of the EPO on November 30, 2018. An oral hearing before the TBA was held on October 28–29, 2020, at which the TBA ruled that the '124 Patent claims directed to compositions of matter and medical use were invalid based on a lack of inventive step.

Other
Japan. On May 19, 2017, Amgen filed a lawsuit for infringement of Amgen's Japanese Patent Nos. 5,906,333 (the "'333 Patent") and 5,705,288 (the "'288 Patent") in the Tokyo District Court Civil Division (the "Tokyo District Court") against Sanofi K.K. Amgen's complaint alleges that manufacturing, selling or otherwise transferring, and offering to sell or otherwise transfer Praluent (alirocumab) in Japan (as well as importing Praluent (alirocumab) into Japan) infringe the '333 and '288 Patents. The complaint further seeks a permanent injunction, disposal of product, and court costs. The Company has not been named as a defendant in this litigation. On January 17, 2019, the Tokyo District Court upheld the validity of the '333 Patent and '288 Patent and ordered a permanent injunction against Sanofi K.K. to stop manufacturing, selling or otherwise transferring, and offering to sell or otherwise transfer Praluent (alirocumab) in Japan (as well as importing Praluent (alirocumab) into Japan) and to dispose of all product. However, the Tokyo District Court stayed the enforcement of such injunction pending appeal to the Intellectual Property High Court of Japan (the "IPHC"). On January 30, 2019, Sanofi K.K. appealed the Tokyo District Court's decision in the infringement proceedings to the IPHC. Following an oral hearing on October 30, 2019, the IPHC affirmed the Tokyo District Court's decision in the infringement proceedings. Sanofi K.K. appealed the IPHC's decision in the infringement proceedings to the Supreme Court of Japan on November 12, 2019. On April 24, 2020, the Supreme Court of Japan declined to hear the appeal filed by Sanofi K.K. in the infringement proceedings and the injunction issued by the Tokyo District Court became effective. Sanofi K.K. subsequently complied with the injunction and, as a result, the commercialization of Praluent in Japan has been discontinued. On March 31, 2020, Amgen filed a related lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court against Sanofi K.K. seeking damages incurred by Amgen as a result of the finding of infringement of the '333 Patent and the '288 Patent. The Company has not been named as a defendant in this damages action.
Proceedings Relating to Dupixent (dupilumab) Injection
United States
On March 20, 2017, the Company, Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, and Genzyme Corporation filed a lawsuit against Amgen and Immunex Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amgen, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company's and the other plaintiffs' Commercializing of Dupixent does not directly or indirectly infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,679,487 (the "'487 Patent") owned by Immunex Corporation relating to antibodies that bind the human interleukin-4 receptor. On May 1, 2017, the Company and the other plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of this action without prejudice.
On March 23, 2017, the Company, Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, and Genzyme Corporation initiated an inter partes review ("IPR") in the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") seeking a declaration of invalidity of the '487 Patent. On July 28 and 31, 2017, the same parties filed two additional IPR petitions in the USPTO seeking declarations of invalidity of the '487 Patent based on different grounds (the "Additional IPR Petitions"). On October 4, 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB") of the USPTO issued a decision on the first IPR petition and declined to institute an IPR proceeding to review the validity of the '487 Patent. On February 15, 2018, the PTAB issued two decisions instituting the Company's and Sanofi's Additional IPR Petitions on all claims of the '487 Patent for which review had been requested. Oral hearings on the Additional IPR Petitions before the PTAB were held on November 14, 2018. On February 14, 2019, the PTAB issued final written decisions on the Additional IPR Petitions, invalidating all 17 claims of the '487 Patent as obvious based on one of the Additional IPR Petitions while declining to hold the challenged claims of the '487 Patent invalid based on the other. In April 2019, the parties filed notices of appeal with the Federal Circuit appealing the PTAB's respective adverse final written decisions on the Additional IPR Petitions, and oral argument was held on August 5, 2020. On October 13, 2020, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB's decision on the Additional IPR Petition that invalidated all 17 claims of the '487 Patent as obvious.
On April 5, 2017, Immunex Corporation filed a lawsuit against the Company, Sanofi, Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, Genzyme Corporation, and Aventisub LLC in the United States District Court for the Central District of California seeking a judgment of patent infringement of the '487 Patent and a declaratory judgment of infringement of the '487 Patent, in each case by the Company's and the other defendants' Commercializing of Dupixent; monetary damages (together with interest); an order of willful infringement of the '487 Patent, which would allow the court in its discretion to award damages up to three times the amount assessed; costs and expenses of the lawsuit; and attorneys' fees. Immunex is not seeking an injunction in this proceeding at this time. On June 21, 2017, the court denied a motion to dismiss Immunex's complaint previously filed by the Company and the Sanofi parties. On June 28, 2017, the Company and the Sanofi parties filed an answer to Immunex's complaint and counterclaims against Immunex and Amgen (which was amended on October 31, 2017 to, among other things, add an inequitable conduct allegation), and Immunex and Amgen filed an answer to the counterclaims on July 28, 2017. A combined hearing on the construction of certain disputed claim terms of the '487 Patent and the Company and the Sanofi parties' motion

for summary judgment on the issue of indefiniteness of the '487 Patent claims was held on July 12, 2018. On August 24, 2018, the court issued an order denying this motion and construed the disputed claim terms as proposed by Amgen. On February 28, 2019, the court granted a joint stipulation by the parties to stay the litigation pending resolution of the appeals of the PTAB's final written decisions on the Additional IPR Petitions discussed above.
Europe
On September 30, 2016, Sanofi initiated a revocation proceeding in the United Kingdom to invalidate the U.K. counterpart of European Patent No. 2,292,665 (the "'665 Patent"), another patent owned by Immunex relating to antibodies that bind the human interleukin-4 receptor. At the joint request of the parties to the revocation proceeding, the U.K. Patents Court ordered on January 30, 2017 that the revocation action be stayed pending the final determination of the currently pending EPO opposition proceedings initiated by the Company and Sanofi in relation to the '665 Patent. The oral hearing before the EPO on the oppositions occurred on November 20, 2017, at which the claims of the '665 Patent were found invalid and the patent was revoked. A final written decision of revocation of the '665 Patent was issued by the EPO on January 4, 2018. Immunex filed a notice of appeal of the EPO's decision on January 31, 2018. On September 20, 2017 and September 21, 2017, respectively, the Company and Sanofi initiated opposition proceedings in the EPO against Immunex's European Patent No. 2,990,420 (the "'420 Patent"), a divisional patent of the '665 Patent (i.e., a patent that shares the same priority date, disclosure, and patent term of the parent '665 Patent but contains claims to a different invention). The oral hearing before the EPO on the oppositions occurred on February 14–15, 2019, at which the '420 Patent was revoked in its entirety. Immunex filed a notice of appeal of the EPO's decision on May 31, 2019. The original patent term of the Immunex patents is set to expire in 2021.
Proceedings Relating to EYLEA (aflibercept) Injection Pre-filled Syringe
On June 19, 2020, Novartis Pharma AG, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, and Novartis Technology LLC (collectively, "Novartis") filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (the "ITC") pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 requesting that the ITC institute an investigation relating to the importation into the United States and/or sale within the United States after importation of EYLEA pre-filled syringes ("PFS") and/or components thereof which allegedly infringe Novartis’s U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631 (the "'631 Patent"). Novartis also requested a permanent limited exclusion order forbidding entry into the United States of EYLEA PFS or components thereof; a permanent cease-and-desist order from the importation, sale, offer for sale, advertising, packaging, or solicitation of any sale by the Company of EYLEA PFS or components thereof; and a bond should the Company continue to import EYLEA PFS (if found to infringe) during, if applicable, any 60-day Presidential review period (i.e., the period when the President of the United States (or his designee) can disapprove any ITC decision to issue an exclusion order or cease-and-desist order). The ITC instituted the investigation on July 22, 2020.
On June 19, 2020, Novartis also filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York asserting claims of the '631 Patent and seeking preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent the Company from continuing to infringe the '631 Patent. Novartis also seeks a judgment of patent infringement of the '631 Patent, monetary damages (together with interest), treble damages, costs and expenses of the lawsuits, and attorneys' fees. On July 30, 2020, the court granted the Company's motion to stay these proceedings until a determination in the ITC proceedings discussed above, including any appeals therefrom, becomes final.
On July 16, 2020, the Company initiated two IPR petitions in the USPTO seeking a declaration of invalidity of the '631 Patent on two separate grounds.
On July 17, 2020, the Company filed an antitrust lawsuit against Novartis and Vetter Pharma International Gmbh ("Vetter") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking a declaration that the '631 Patent is unenforceable and a judgment that the defendants' conduct violates Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, as amended. The Company is also seeking injunctive relief and treble damages. On September 4, 2020, Novartis filed, and Vetter moved to join, a motion to dismiss the complaint, to transfer the lawsuit to the Northern District of New York, or to stay the suit; and on October 19, 2020, Novartis filed, and Vetter moved to join, a second motion to dismiss the complaint on different grounds.
Proceedings Relating to fasinumab
On May 21, 2020, the Company and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited ("Teva") filed a lawsuit against Rinat Neurosciences Corp. ("Rinat"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc., in the English High Court of Justice in London, seeking invalidation and revocation of Rinat's European Patent No. 2,270,048 (the "'048 Patent"), European Patent No.

1,871,416 (the "'416 Patent"), and European Patent No. 2,305,711 (the "'711 Patent"), each of which pertains to the use of NGF monoclonal antibodies to treat certain symptoms in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. On July 21, 2020, Rinat filed its defense and counterclaim seeking a declaration of infringement of the '048 Patent by fasinumab. The counterclaim also seeks a permanent injunction, damages, an accounting of profits, and costs and interest. A trial has been scheduled to commence in late November or early December 2021.
The '048 Patent is subject to opposition proceedings in the EPO, which were initiated by the Company on August 10, 2016 and two other opponents on August 11, 2016. On January 3, 2018, the Opposition Division of the EPO issued a preliminary, non-binding opinion regarding the validity of the '048 Patent, indicating that it considered the granted patent to be invalid. An oral hearing on the oppositions against the '048 Patent was held on November 29–30, 2018, at which the Opposition Division upheld the validity of the '048 Patent's claims in amended form. The Company filed a notice of appeal to the TBA of the EPO on March 7, 2019. On October 21, 2020, Teva filed a notice of intervention with the TBA to take part in the appeal proceedings as an intervener.
The '711 Patent is also subject to opposition proceedings in the EPO, which were initiated by the Company on May 1, 2018. On January 31, 2019, the Opposition Division of the EPO issued a preliminary, non-binding opinion regarding the validity of the '711 Patent, indicating that it considered the granted patent to be invalid. An oral hearing on the opposition against the '711 Patent was held on December 3, 2019, at which the Opposition Division upheld the validity of the '711 Patent's claims in amended form. The Company filed a notice of appeal to the TBA on December 20, 2019. An oral hearing before the TBA has been scheduled for July 29, 2021.
Proceedings Relating to REGN-COV2
On October 5, 2020, Allele Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Allele") filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,221,221 (the "'221 Patent"). Allele seeks a judgment of patent infringement of the '221 Patent, a judgment that such infringement was willful, and an award of monetary damages (together with interest), treble damages, costs and expenses of the lawsuit, and attorneys' fees.
Department of Justice Matters
In January 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts requesting documents relating to its support of 501(c)(3) organizations that provide financial assistance to patients; documents concerning its provision of financial assistance to patients with respect to products sold or developed by Regeneron (including EYLEA, Praluent, ARCALYST, and ZALTRAP®); and certain other related documents and communications. On June 24, 2020, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and asserting causes of action under the federal False Claims Act and state law. On August 24, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. An oral hearing on the motion to dismiss was held on October 7, 2020.
In September 2019, the Company and Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, each received a civil investigative demand ("CID") from the U.S. Department of Justice pursuant to the federal False Claims Act relating to remuneration paid to physicians in the form of consulting fees, advisory boards, speaker fees, and payment or reimbursement for travel and entertainment allegedly in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. The CIDs relate to EYLEA, Praluent, Dupixent, ZALTRAP, ARCALYST, and Kevzara and cover the period from January 2015 to the present. The Company is cooperating with this investigation.
Shareholder Demand
On or about September 30, 2020, the Company's board of directors received a demand letter from a purported shareholder of the Company. The demand alleges that Regeneron and its shareholders have been damaged by the conduct alleged in the civil complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts discussed under "Department of Justice Matters" above. The demand letter requests that the Company's board of directors investigate alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by its officers and directors and other alleged violations of law and corporate governance practices and procedures; bring legal action against the persons responsible for causing the alleged damages; and implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, compliance mechanisms, and corporate governance practices and procedures. The Company's board of directors, working with outside counsel, is evaluating this demand letter.

Programs in Clinical Development
All 24 of our product candidates in clinical development, including the five U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved products which we are investigating in additional indications, were discovered in our research laboratories and are summarized in the table below. We believe that our ability to develop product candidates is enhanced by the application of our VelociSuite® technology platforms. We continue to invest in the development of enabling technologies to assist in our efforts to identify, develop, manufacture, and commercialize new product candidates.
There are numerous uncertainties associated with drug development, including uncertainties related to safety and efficacy data from each phase of drug development (including any post-approval studies), uncertainties related to the enrollment and performance of clinical trials, changes in regulatory requirements, changes to drug pricing and reimbursement regulations and

requirements, and changes in the competitive landscape affecting a product candidate. The planning, execution, and results of our clinical programs are significant factors that can affect our operating and financial results.
We and our collaborators conduct clinical trials in multiple countries across the world. The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions adopted around the globe to reduce the spread of the disease have impacted and will continue to impact our clinical development programs. We continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on an individual trial basis and oversee trial management while also working to ensure patient safety and provide sufficient supply of product candidates for the studies. At this time, we expect fully enrolled clinical studies to remain generally on track. However, the ongoing pandemic continues to impact clinical trial execution in many regions across the world for us and our collaborators. The ultimate impact (including possible delays in recruiting and/or obtaining data) resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will depend, among other factors, on the extent of the pandemic in the areas with study sites and patient populations. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic may cause clinical disruptions beyond those we have described. In addition, there may be delays in the timing of regulatory review and other projected milestones discussed in the table below. 
Refer to Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for a description of these and other risks and uncertainties that may affect our clinical programs, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

General
Our ability to generate profits and to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next several years depends significantly on the continued success in commercializing EYLEA and Dupixent. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development activities, a portion of which we expect to be reimbursed by our collaborators. Also, our research and development activities outside our collaborations, the costs of which are not reimbursed, are expected to expand and require additional resources. We also expect to incur substantial costs related to the commercialization of our marketed products. Our financial results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and will depend on, among other factors, the net sales of our marketed products; the scope and progress of our research and development efforts; the timing of certain expenses; the continuation of our collaborations, in particular with Sanofi and Bayer, including our share of collaboration profits or losses from sales of commercialized products and the amount of reimbursement of our research and development expenses that we receive from collaborators; and the amount of income tax expense we incur, which is partly dependent on the profits or losses we earn in each of the countries in which we operate. We cannot predict whether or when new products or new indications for marketed products will receive regulatory approval or, if any such approval is received, whether we will be able to successfully commercialize such product(s) and whether or when they may become profitable.
Additional Information - Clinical Development Programs
REGN-COV2
We are using our end-to-end antibody technologies to discover and develop brand new therapeutic antibodies for COVID-19. The Company is advancing REGN-COV2, a novel investigational antibody "cocktail" treatment designed to prevent and treat infection from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The use of our two-antibody "cocktail" is intended to diminish the risk of viral escape by effectively binding to the virus's critical spike protein in two separate, non-overlapping locations. In April 2020, the Company moved its leading neutralizing antibodies into pre-clinical and clinical-scale cell production lines, and in June 2020, initiated its first clinical trial of REGN-COV2. Following a positive review from the IDMC of REGN-COV2 Phase 1 safety results in an initial cohort, the program advanced to late-stage clinical trials (see table above for further details). The REGN-COV2 clinical program consists of the following separate study populations: hospitalized COVID-19 patients, non-hospitalized symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 patients, uninfected people with close exposure to a COVID-19 patient (such as the patient's housemate), and healthy volunteers.
In October 2020, we submitted a request to the FDA for an EUA for REGN-COV2 in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 who are at high risk for poor outcomes.
In October 2020, we announced positive results from the ongoing Phase 2/3 seamless trial in non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19, showing that REGN-COV2 significantly reduced viral load and patient medical visits (hospitalizations, emergency room, urgent care visits, and/or physician office/telemedicine visits). The trial met the primary and key secondary endpoints. In September 2020, we had announced initial data from the trial showing that REGN-COV2 reduced viral load and time to alleviate symptoms.
In October 2020, the IDMC for the REGN-COV2 treatment trials for COVID-19 recommended that the current hospitalized patient trial be modified. Specifically, based on a potential safety signal and an unfavorable risk/benefit profile at this time, the IDMC recommended that further enrollment of patients requiring high-flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation be placed on hold pending collection and analysis of further data on patients already enrolled. The IDMC also recommended continuing enrollment of hospitalized patients requiring either no or low-flow oxygen as the risk/benefit remains acceptable in these cohorts. Finally, the IDMC recommended continuation of the outpatient trial (described further above) without modification.
In September 2020, we and the University of Oxford announced that the RECOVERY trial in the UK will evaluate REGN-COV2. The RECOVERY trial, which is a Phase 3 open-label trial in patients hospitalized with COVID-19, will compare the effects of adding REGN-COV2 to the usual standard-of-care versus standard-of-care on its own. The trial is being coordinated by researchers at the University of Oxford. The RECOVERY IDMC is aware of the IDMC recommendations made in connection with the REGN-COV2 treatment trials (described above), and will be discussing the impact, if any, on the RECOVERY trial.
Inmazeb
In October 2020, the FDA approved Inmazeb for the treatment of infection caused by Zaire ebolavirus in adult and pediatric patients, including newborns of mothers who have tested positive for the infection. In connection with this approval, we were also granted a material threat medical countermeasure priority review voucher by the FDA.

Fasinumab
In August 2020, we announced that two Phase 3 trials, FACT OA1 and FACT OA2, achieved the co-primary endpoints for fasinumab 1 mg monthly, demonstrating significant improvements in pain and physical function over placebo at week 16 and week 24, respectively. Fasinumab 1 mg monthly also showed nominally significant benefits in physical function in both trials and pain in one trial, when compared to the maximum FDA-approved prescription doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for osteoarthritis.
The FACT OA1 trial included an additional treatment arm, fasinumab 1 mg every two months, which showed numerical benefit over placebo, but did not reach statistical significance.
In initial safety analyses from the Phase 3 trials, there was an increase in arthropathies reported with fasinumab. In a sub-group of patients from one Phase 3 long-term safety trial, there was an increase in joint replacement with fasinumab 1 mg monthly treatment during the off-drug follow-up period, although this increase was not seen in the other trials to date.
In August 2020, we also announced that we discontinued actively treating patients with fasinumab, which at such time only involved dosing in an optional second-year extension phase of one trial. This followed a recommendation from the fasinumab program's IDMC that the program should be terminated, based on available evidence to date. We will continue to gather long-term safety data, which we expect to report in 2021, along with our decision on next steps for the program.
Garetosmab
In October 2020, we notified clinical investigators to pause dosing of garetosmab in the ongoing Phase 2 LUMINA-1 trial in patients with the ultra-rare genetic disorder FOP. The decision was based on reports of fatal serious adverse events in the trial during the open-label portion during which all patients received active treatment. These deaths are being further investigated to understand if they are related to garetosmab treatment. During the 28-week double-blind treatment period, there were no deaths in the trial.
We also shared this update with the trial's IDMC and relevant regulatory authorities, and will conduct a review of the trial data to date to better understand the benefit/risk profile of garetosmab in people with FOP. The Company announced top-line 28-week results from the LUMINA-1 trial earlier this year; this is the only active trial evaluating garetosmab.
Agreements Related to COVID-19
BARDA
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company announced an expansion of its Other Transaction Agreement ("OTA") with BARDA, pursuant to which HHS is obligated to fund 80% of certain of our costs incurred for certain research and development activities related to COVID-19 treatments. In July 2020, the Company also announced an agreement with entities acting at the direction of BARDA and the U.S. Department of Defense to manufacture and deliver filled and finished REGN-COV2 to the U.S. government. This agreement could result in payments to the Company of up to $450.2 million in the aggregate for bulk manufacturing of the drug substance, as well as fill/finish and storage activities. See "Results of Operations - Revenues" below for REGN-COV2 net product sales recognized in connection with this agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Roche
In August 2020, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Roche to develop, manufacture, and distribute REGN-COV2. We will continue to lead global development activities for REGN-COV2, and the parties will jointly fund the ongoing Phase 3 prevention and Phase 1 healthy volunteer safety studies, as well as any mutually agreed additional new global studies to evaluate further the potential of REGN-COV2 in treating or preventing COVID-19. Roche will be responsible for securing regulatory approvals outside the United States, following the initial EMA approval (if any), and conducting any additional studies specifically required for approval by regulators outside the United States.

Under the terms of the agreement, each party is obligated to dedicate a certain amount of manufacturing capacity to REGN-COV2 each year. We will distribute the product in the United States and Roche will distribute the product outside of the United States. The parties will share gross profits from worldwide sales based on a pre-specified formula, depending on the amount of manufactured product delivered by each party. Any profit sharing will commence after product manufactured by Roche receives regulatory approval and is supplied to the market.

Sanofi
In May 2020, a secondary offering of 13,014,646 shares of our Common Stock held by Sanofi was completed. We also purchased 9,806,805 shares directly from Sanofi for an aggregate purchase amount of $5 billion. Pursuant to the offering and purchase, Sanofi disposed of all of its shares of common stock in Regeneron, other than 400,000 shares that it retained as of the closing of these transactions (see further details below regarding Sanofi's use of these shares for the funding of certain development costs).
Antibody
As of September 30, 2020, we were collaborating with Sanofi on the global development and commercialization of Dupixent, Kevzara, and itepekimab (the "Antibody Collaboration"). See discussion below for updates related to the development and commercialization of Praluent effective April 1, 2020. Under the terms of the Antibody License and Collaboration Agreement (the "LCA"), following receipt of the first positive Phase 3 trial results for a co-developed drug candidate, subsequent Phase 3 trial-related costs for that drug candidate are generally shared 80% by Sanofi and 20% by us. All other agreed-upon development costs incurred by both companies are funded 100% by Sanofi. We are obligated to reimburse Sanofi for 50% of worldwide development expenses that were fully funded by Sanofi and 30% of shared Phase 3 trial-related costs based on our share of collaboration profits from commercialization of collaboration products. However, we are only required to apply 10% of our share of the profits from the Antibody Collaboration in any calendar quarter to reimburse Sanofi for these development costs.
In 2018, we and Sanofi entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") amending the LCA in connection with, among other matters, the allocation of additional funds to certain proposed activities relating to dupilumab and itepekimab (collectively, the "Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments"). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, we have agreed to allow Sanofi to satisfy in whole or in part its funding obligations with respect to the Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments for the quarterly periods commencing on January 1, 2018 and ending on September 30, 2020 by selling certain shares of our Common Stock directly or indirectly owned by Sanofi. Refer to the "Immuno-Oncology" section below for further details regarding the Letter Agreement and this funding arrangement.
Under our collaboration agreement, Sanofi records product sales for commercialized products, and Regeneron has the right to co-commercialize such products on a country-by-country basis. We have exercised our option to co-commercialize Dupixent in the United States and in certain countries outside the United States. We currently anticipate commencing co-commercialization of Dupixent in such countries outside the United States in 2021. We supply certain commercial bulk product to Sanofi. We and Sanofi equally share profits and losses from sales within the United States. We and Sanofi share profits outside the United States on a sliding scale based on sales starting at 65% (Sanofi)/35% (us) and ending at 55% (Sanofi)/45% (us), and share losses outside the United States at 55% (Sanofi)/45% (us). In addition to profit and loss sharing, we are entitled to receive sales milestone payments from Sanofi. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company earned, and recognized as revenue, the first $50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $1.0 billion on a rolling twelve-month basis. We are entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $200.0 million in additional milestone payments from Sanofi, including the second sales milestone in the amount of $50.0 million, when such sales outside the United States exceed $1.5 billion on a rolling twelve-month basis.
In April 2020, the Company and Sanofi entered into an amendment to the LCA in connection with, among other things, the removal of Praluent from the LCA such that (i) effective April 1, 2020, the LCA no longer governs the development, manufacture, or commercialization of Praluent and (ii) the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 was the last quarter for which Sanofi and the Company will share profits and losses for Praluent under the LCA. The parties also entered into a Praluent Cross License & Commercialization Agreement (the "Praluent Agreement") pursuant to which, effective April 1, 2020, the Company, at its sole cost, is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent in the United States, and Sanofi, at its sole cost, is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent outside of the United States. Under the Praluent Agreement, Sanofi will pay the Company a 5% royalty on Sanofi’s net product sales of Praluent outside the United States until March 31, 2032. The Company will not owe Sanofi royalties on the Company’s net product sales of Praluent in the United States. Although each party will be responsible for manufacturing Praluent for its respective territory, the parties have entered into definitive supply agreements under which, for a certain transitional period, the Company will continue to supply drug substance to Sanofi and Sanofi will continue to supply finished product to Regeneron. With respect to any intellectual property or product liability litigation relating to Praluent, the parties have agreed that, effective April 1, 2020, Regeneron and Sanofi each will be solely responsible for any such litigation (including damages and other costs and expenses thereof) in the United States and outside the United States, respectively, arising out of Praluent sales or other activities on or after April 1, 2020 (subject to Sanofi's right to set off a portion of any third-party royalty payments resulting from certain patent

litigation proceedings against up to 50% of any Praluent royalty payment owed to Regeneron). The parties will each bear 50% of any damages arising out of Praluent sales or other activities prior to April 1, 2020.
Immuno-Oncology
We are collaborating with Sanofi on the development and commercialization of antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (the "IO Collaboration"). The IO Collaboration is governed by an Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement (the "Amended IO Discovery Agreement"), and an Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement (the "IO License and Collaboration Agreement").
Effective December 31, 2018, the Company and Sanofi entered into the Amended IO Discovery Agreement, which narrowed the scope of the existing discovery and development activities conducted by the Company ("IO Development Activities") under the original 2015 Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement (the "2015 IO Discovery Agreement") to developing therapeutic bispecific antibodies targeting (i) BCMA and CD3 (the "BCMAxCD3 Program") and (ii) MUC16 and CD3 (the "MUC16xCD3 Program") through clinical proof-of-concept. The Amended IO Discovery Agreement provided for Sanofi's payment of $461.9 million to the Company as consideration for (x) the termination of the 2015 IO Discovery Agreement, (y) the prepayment for certain IO Development Activities regarding the BCMAxCD3 Program and the MUC16xCD3 Program, and (z) the reimbursement of costs incurred by the Company under the 2015 IO Discovery Agreement during the fourth quarter of 2018.
Under the terms of the Amended IO Discovery Agreement, the Company is required to conduct development activities with respect to (i) the BCMAxCD3 Program through the earlier of clinical proof-of-concept or the expenditure of $70.0 million (the "BCMAxCD3 Program Costs Cap") and (ii) the MUC16xCD3 Program through the earlier of clinical proof-of-concept or the expenditure of $50.0 million (the "MUC16xCD3 Program Costs Cap"); provided that under certain circumstances, Sanofi will have the option to increase the MUC16xCD3 Program Costs Cap to $70.0 million by making a payment to the Company in the amount of $20.0 million.
Pursuant to the Amended IO Discovery Agreement, we are primarily responsible for conducting the IO Development Activities (other than certain clinical trials that may be funded separately by Sanofi), including antibody development, preclinical activities, toxicology studies, manufacture of clinical supplies, filing of Investigational New Drug Applications ("INDs"), and clinical development through proof-of-concept. We are obligated to reimburse Sanofi for half of the development costs they funded that are attributable to clinical development of antibody product candidates under the Amended IO Discovery Agreement from our share of profits from commercialized IO Collaboration products.
With regard to the BCMAxCD3 Program and the MUC16xCD3 Program, when (i) clinical proof-of-concept is established, (ii) the applicable Program Costs Cap is reached, or (iii) in certain other limited circumstances, Sanofi will have the option to license rights to the product candidate and other antibodies targeting the same targets for, with regard to BCMAxCD3, immuno-oncology indications, and with regard to MUC16xCD3, all indications, pursuant to the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, as amended. If Sanofi does not exercise its option to license rights to a product candidate, we will retain the exclusive right to develop and commercialize such product candidate and Sanofi will receive a royalty on sales. Pursuant to the Amended IO Discovery Agreement, the parties agreed that (i) if Sanofi exercises its option with respect to a BCMAxCD3 Program antibody, Sanofi will lead the development and global commercialization of such BCMAxCD3 Program antibody; and (ii) if Sanofi exercises its option with respect to a MUC16xCD3 Program antibody, (x) we will lead the development of such MUC16xCD3 Program antibody and commercialization of such MUC16xCD3 Program antibody within the United States and (y) Sanofi will lead the commercialization of such MUC16xCD3 Program antibody outside of the United States.
If Sanofi exercises its option to license rights to a BCMAxCD3 Program antibody or MUC16xCD3 Program antibody thereunder, it will co-develop these drug candidates with us through product approval under the terms of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement. Sanofi will fund development costs up front for a BCMAxCD3 Program antibody and we will reimburse half of the total development costs for such antibody from our share of future IO Collaboration profits to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose. In addition, we and Sanofi will share equally, on an ongoing basis, the development costs for a MUC16xCD3 Program antibody. Each party will have the right to co-commercialize licensed products in countries where it is not the lead commercialization party. The parties will share equally in profits and losses in connection with the commercialization of collaboration products. We are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply clinical requirements of each drug candidate under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement until commercial supplies of that IO drug candidate are being manufactured.
Under the terms of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, the parties are also co-developing and co-commercializing Libtayo, an antibody targeting PD-1. We have principal control over the development of Libtayo, and the parties share equally, on an ongoing basis, development and commercialization expenses for Libtayo. Under the Letter Agreement, we have agreed to allow Sanofi to satisfy in whole or in part its funding obligation with respect to Libtayo development costs for the quarterly

periods commencing on October 1, 2017 and ending on September 30, 2020 by selling certain shares of our Common Stock directly or indirectly owned by Sanofi. As of September 30, 2020, 279,766 shares of our Common Stock remained eligible for sale by Sanofi in order to satisfy its funding obligations with respect to Libtayo development costs and/or, as noted above, Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments.
If Sanofi desires to sell shares of our Common Stock during the term of the Letter Agreement to satisfy a portion or all of its funding obligations for the Libtayo development and/or, as noted above, Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments, we may elect to purchase, in whole or in part, such shares from Sanofi. If we do not elect to purchase such shares, Sanofi may sell the applicable number of shares (subject to certain daily and quarterly limits) in one or more open-market transactions. Refer to the "Antibody" section above for a description of share transactions related to Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments.
With regard to Libtayo, we lead commercialization activities in the United States, while Sanofi leads commercialization activities outside of the United States and the parties equally share profits from worldwide sales. Sanofi has exercised its option to co-commercialize Libtayo in the United States. We will be entitled to a milestone payment of $375.0 million in the event that global sales of certain licensed products targeting PD-1 (including Libtayo), together with sales of any other products licensed under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement and sold for use in combination with any of such licensed products targeting PD-1, equal or exceed $2.0 billion in any consecutive twelve-month period.
Bayer
EYLEA outside the United States
Since 2006, we and Bayer have been parties to a license and collaboration agreement for the global development and commercialization outside the United States of EYLEA. Under the agreement, we and Bayer collaborate on, and share the costs of, the development of EYLEA. Bayer markets EYLEA outside the United States, where, for countries other than Japan, the companies share equally in profits and losses from sales of EYLEA. In Japan, we are entitled to receive a tiered percentage of between 33.5% and 40.0% of EYLEA net sales through 2021, and thereafter, the companies will share equally in profits and losses from the sales of EYLEA.
We are obligated to reimburse Bayer for 50% of the development costs that it has incurred under the agreement from our share of the collaboration profits (including payments to us based on sales in Japan). The reimbursement payment in any quarter will equal 5% of the then outstanding repayment obligation, but never more than our share of the collaboration profits in the quarter unless we elect to reimburse Bayer at a faster rate.
Within the United States, we retain exclusive commercialization rights to EYLEA and are entitled to all profits from such sales.
Teva
Fasinumab
In 2016, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Teva to develop and commercialize fasinumab globally, excluding certain Asian countries that are subject to our collaboration agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation ("MTPC"). In connection with the agreement, Teva made a $250.0 million non-refundable up-front payment. We lead global development activities, and the parties share equally, on an ongoing basis, development costs under a global development plan. As of September 30, 2020, we had earned an aggregate of $120.0 million of development milestones from Teva and we are entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $340.0 million in additional development milestones and up to an aggregate of $1.890 billion in contingent payments upon achievement of specified annual net sales amounts. We are responsible for the manufacture and supply of fasinumab globally.
Within the United States, we will lead commercialization activities, and the parties will share equally in any profits or losses in connection with commercialization of fasinumab. In the territory outside of the United States, Teva will lead commercialization activities and we will supply product to Teva at a tiered purchase price, which is calculated as a percentage of net sales of the product (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances).

Zai Lab
Odronextamab (REGN1979)
In April 2020, we entered into an agreement with Zai Lab Limited to develop and commercialize odronextamab in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau (the "Zai Territories"). In connection with the agreement, Zai made a $30.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to the Company. We will continue to lead global development activities for odronextamab, and Zai will be responsible for funding a portion of the global development costs for certain clinical trials.
We are responsible for the manufacture and supply of clinical and commercial product of odronextamab to Zai. If odronextamab is commercialized in the Zai Territories, we will supply the product to Zai at a tiered purchase price, which is calculated as a percentage of net sales of the product (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), and are eligible to receive up to $160.0 million in additional regulatory and sales milestone payments.
Intellia
In 2016, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. to advance CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology for in vivo therapeutic development. In May 2020, we expanded our existing collaboration with Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. to provide us with rights to develop products for additional in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-based therapeutic targets and for the companies to jointly develop potential products for the treatment of hemophilia A and B. In addition, we also received non-exclusive rights to independently develop and commercialize ex vivo gene edited products. In connection with the agreement, we made a $70.0 million up-front payment and purchased 925,218 shares of Intellia common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million. The up-front payment and the amount paid in excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased, or $15.0 million, were recorded to Research and development expense in the second quarter of 2020.
BARDA
In 2015, we and BARDA entered into an agreement pursuant to which HHS provides certain funding to develop, test, and manufacture a treatment for Ebola virus infection. In July 2020, HHS exercised its option under the existing agreement to provide up to $344.6 million of additional funding for the manufacture and supply of Inmazeb. We expect to deliver a pre-specified number of Inmazeb treatment doses over the course of approximately six years.

Net Product Sales
Net product sales of EYLEA in the United States increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, due to higher sales volume partly offset by an increase in sales-related deductions primarily due to higher rebates and discounts. Overall U.S. EYLEA demand was lower in April 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the same period of 2019. While we observed an increase in U.S. EYLEA demand during the subsequent months of the second and third quarters of 2020 relative to April 2020, we are unable to predict whether there will be additional adverse impact on net product sales if shelter-in-place, social distancing, and other similar measures are reintroduced or imposed in additional geographies.
Effective April 1, 2020, the Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent in the United States and records net product sales of Praluent in the United States. Refer to "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Sanofi - Antibody" section above for further details.

Antibody
Sanofi provides us with an estimate of our share of the profits or losses from commercialization of antibodies for the most recent fiscal quarter; these estimates are reconciled to actual results in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and our portion of the profits or losses is adjusted accordingly, as necessary. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the change in our share of profits in connection with commercialization of antibodies, compared to the same periods of 2019, was driven by higher Dupixent profits and, to a lesser extent, our new agreement with Sanofi under which, effective April 1, 2020, we are no longer sharing in losses with Sanofi in connection with the commercialization of Praluent (see further information below). The increase in reimbursements for manufacturing of commercial supplies is primarily driven by higher Dupixent sales, as revenue recognition for such cost reimbursements is deferred until the product is sold by Sanofi to third-party customers.

(1) Global net product sales of Dupixent and Kevzara are recorded by Sanofi. The quarter ended March 31, 2020 was the last quarter for which Sanofi and the Company shared profits and losses in connection with Sanofi's global net sales and the related commercialization of Praluent (see further details below); therefore, the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was the last quarter for which net product sales of Praluent were included in the table above.
As described above under "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Sanofi - Antibody", effective April 1, 2020, the Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent in the United States. Under the new agreement, Sanofi is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent outside of the United States, and will pay the Company a 5% royalty on Sanofi’s net product sales of Praluent outside the United States.
In the third quarter of 2020, the Company earned, and recognized as revenue, the first $50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $1.0 billion on a rolling twelve-month basis.

Other Revenue
Other revenue increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same periods of 2019, primarily due to:
recognition of revenue in connection with our agreements with BARDA related to funding of certain development activities for antibodies for the treatment of COVID-19 and Inmazeb for the treatment of Ebola; and
effective April 1, 2020, Sanofi's reimbursement for manufacturing commercial supplies of Praluent and royalties of 5% on Sanofi’s net product sales of Praluent outside the United States.

Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes our estimates of direct research and development expenses by clinical development program and other significant categories of research and development expenses. Direct research and development expenses are comprised primarily of costs paid to third parties for clinical and product development activities, including costs related to preclinical research activities, clinical trials, and the portion of research and development expenses incurred by our collaborators that we are obligated to reimburse. Indirect research and development expenses have not been allocated directly to each program, and primarily consist of costs to compensate personnel, overhead and infrastructure costs to maintain our facilities, and other costs related to activities that benefit multiple projects. Clinical manufacturing costs primarily consist of costs to manufacture bulk drug product for clinical development purposes as well as related external drug filling, packaging, and labeling costs. Clinical manufacturing costs also includes pre-launch commercial supplies which did not meet the criteria to be capitalized as inventory.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $85.0 million in aggregate up-front payments made in connection with our collaboration agreement with Intellia (see "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Intellia" above). Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included a $400.0 million up-front payment to Alnylam.
Research and development expenses included non-cash compensation expense of $55.9 million and $60.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $169.5 million and $178.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
There are numerous uncertainties associated with drug development, including uncertainties related to safety and efficacy data from each phase of drug development, uncertainties related to the enrollment and performance of clinical trials, changes in regulatory requirements, changes in the competitive landscape affecting a product candidate, and other risks and uncertainties described in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" (including those relating to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic). There is also variability in the duration and costs necessary to develop a pharmaceutical product, potential opportunities and/or uncertainties related to future indications to be studied, and the estimated cost and scope of the projects. The lengthy process of seeking FDA and other applicable approvals, and subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could materially adversely affect our business. We are unable to reasonably estimate if our product candidates in clinical development will generate material product revenues and net cash inflows.

Table of Contents
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher headcount-related costs, an increase in commercialization-related expenses for EYLEA and Libtayo, higher contributions to independent not-for-profit patient assistance organizations, additional accruals for loss contingencies associated with ongoing litigation, and, effective April 1, 2020, no longer receiving Praluent-related cost reimbursements from Sanofi for Regeneron-incurred expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also included non-cash compensation expense of $35.9 million and $40.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $114.4 million and $122.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily in connection with higher product sales including (i) our obligation to pay Sanofi its share of Libtayo U.S. gross profits and (ii) third-party royalties. These increases were partly offset by lower period costs for our Limerick commercial manufacturing facility.
Cost of Collaboration and Contract Manufacturing
Cost of collaboration and contract manufacturing increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to the recognition of manufacturing costs associated with higher sales of Dupixent and recognition of costs in connection with manufacturing ex-U.S. commercial supplies of Praluent for Sanofi under our new agreement (see "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Sanofi - Antibody" above for further details). In addition, Cost of collaboration and contract manufacturing increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due to process validation costs in connection with manufacturing Inmazeb under our BARDA agreement.
Other Operating (Income) Expense
Other operating (income) expense, net, includes recognition of a portion of amounts previously deferred in connection with up-front and development milestone payments, as applicable, received in connection with Sanofi IO, Teva, and MTPC collaborative arrangements.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense), net, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was negatively impacted by the recognition of unrealized losses on equity securities. In addition, interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, increased as a result of the 2020 bridge loan facility and issuance of senior notes (as described below). Other income (expense), net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily affected by the positive impact of the recognition of unrealized gains on equity securities.

As of September 30, 2020, Sanofi, trade, and other accounts receivables increased by $1.275 billion, compared to December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of extending payment terms to certain of our EYLEA customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Deferred taxes as of September 30, 2020 decreased by $117.9 million, compared to December 31, 2019, primarily due to non-cash compensation expense and unrealized gains (net) on equity securities as described above.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Sales of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included proceeds in connection with funding our stock repurchase from Sanofi (as described below). Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included costs associated with (i) the expansion of our manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, including construction of a fill/finish facility and related equipment, and (ii) laboratory expansion and renovations at our Tarrytown, New York facilities. We expect to incur capital expenditures of $570 million to $600 million for the full year of 2020 primarily in connection with these projects.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we paid an aggregate of $5.5 billion to purchase shares of our Common Stock, a portion of which was funded with the proceeds from a $1.5 billion senior unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility. See additional information under "Secondary Offering and Purchase of Regeneron Common Stock Held by Sanofi" below. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we issued and sold $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and used a portion of the net proceeds to repay in full the bridge loan facility. See additional information under "Issuance of Senior Notes" below.

Proceeds from issuances of Common Stock, in connection with exercises of employee stock options, were $2.5 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $163.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Share Repurchase Program
In November 2019, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our Common Stock. The share repurchase program permits the Company to effect repurchases through a variety of methods, including open-market transactions (including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, block trades, and other transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Repurchases may be made from time to time at management’s discretion, and the timing and amount of any such repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The program has no time limit and can be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases in the future. We plan to finance the share repurchase program with available cash.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased 898,991 shares of our Common Stock under the program and recorded the cost of the shares received, or $373.3 million, as Treasury Stock. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $372.7 million which remained available for share repurchases under the program.
Sanofi Funding of Certain Development Costs
As described above in "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Sanofi," effective January 7, 2018, we agreed to allow Sanofi to satisfy in whole or in part its funding obligations with respect to Libtayo development and/or Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments incurred in periods through September 30, 2020 by selling shares (of which 279,766 shares remained available to be sold as of September 30, 2020) of our Common Stock directly or indirectly owned by Sanofi. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Sanofi elected to sell, and we elected to purchase (by issuing a credit towards the amount owed by Sanofi), 77,677 shares of the Company's Common Stock to satisfy Sanofi's funding obligation related to Libtayo development costs. Consequently, we recorded $41.7 million related to the shares received as Treasury Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Sanofi elected to sell, and we elected to purchase (in cash), 171,471 shares of the Company's Common Stock in connection with Sanofi's funding obligation for Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments. Consequently, we recorded the cost of the shares received, or $93.3 million, as Treasury Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Secondary Offering and Purchase of Regeneron Common Stock Held by Sanofi
As described above in "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Sanofi," in May 2020, a secondary offering of 13,014,646 shares of our Common Stock (the "Secondary Offering") held by Sanofi was completed. In connection with the Secondary Offering, we also purchased 9,806,805 shares of our Common Stock directly from Sanofi for an aggregate purchase amount of $5 billion (the "Stock Purchase"). As a result of the Secondary Offering and the Stock Purchase, Sanofi disposed of all of its shares of our Common Stock, other than 400,000 shares that it retained as of the closing of the Secondary Offering and the Stock Purchase (which Sanofi has used, and may continue to use, for the funding of certain Libtayo development costs and/or Dupilumab/Itepekimab Eligible Investments as described above).
We funded the Stock Purchase with a combination of cash on hand, proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and proceeds from loans under a $1.5 billion senior unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility (the "Bridge Facility") which was entered into in May 2020. The loans under the Bridge Facility bore interest at a variable interest rate based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate or the alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin that varied with our debt rating and total leverage ratio. As described below, the Bridge Facility was repaid in August 2020 following the issuance and sale of the Company's senior unsecured notes.
Issuance of Senior Notes
In August 2020, we issued and sold $1.250 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes") and $750 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2050 (the "2050 Notes" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the "Notes"). Net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses) were used in part to repay in full the Bridge Facility described above, including accrued interest and related fees and expenses in connection therewith.
The 2030 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 1.750% per year and will mature on September 15, 2030. The 2050 Notes accrue interest at the rate of 2.800% per year and will mature on September 15, 2050. Interest on each series of Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2021, until their respective maturity dates.
51


Table of Contents
The Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option at any time at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, and, until a specified period before maturity, a specified make-whole amount. The Notes contain a change-of-control provision that, under certain circumstances, may require the Company to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Notes also contain certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions, as well as customary events of default.

Summary of Risk Factors
As noted above, we are subject to a number of risks that if realized could materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Some of the more significant risks and uncertainties we face include those summarized below. The summary below is not exhaustive and is qualified by reference to the full set of risk factors set forth in this "Risk Factors" section. Please carefully consider all of the information in this Form 10-Q, including the full set of risks set forth in this "Risk Factors" section, and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission before making an investment decision regarding Regeneron.
Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Our business may be further adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those impacting our manufacturing and supply chain operations, research and development efforts, commercial operations and sales force, administrative personnel, third-party service providers, and business partners and customers, as well as the demand for our marketed products.
We face risks related to the development, manufacturing, and potential commercialization of REGN-COV2.
Commercialization Risks
We are substantially dependent on the success of EYLEA and Dupixent.
Sales of our products are dependent on the availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party payors, including private payors and government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, which could change due to various factors such as the drug price control measures recently announced by the Trump administration.
The commercial success of our products is subject to significant competition from products or product candidates that may be superior to, or more cost effective than, our products or product candidates.
We and our collaborators on which we rely to commercialize some of our marketed products may be unable to continue to successfully commercialize or co-commercialize our products, both in the United States and abroad.
Regulatory and Development Risks
Drug development and obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for drug products is costly, time-consuming, and highly uncertain.
Serious complications or side effects in connection with the use or development of our products or product candidates could cause our regulatory approvals to be revoked or limited or lead to delay or discontinuation of development of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products.
We may be unable to formulate or manufacture our product candidates in a way that is suitable for clinical or commercial use, which would delay or prevent continued development of such candidates and/or receipt of regulatory approval or commercial sale.
Many of our products are intended to be used in combination with drug-delivery devices, which may result in additional regulatory, commercialization, and other risks.
Intellectual Property and Market Exclusivity Risks
We may not be able to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, and our patents or other means of defending our intellectual property may be insufficient to protect our proprietary rights.
Patents or proprietary rights of others may restrict our development, manufacturing, and/or commercialization efforts and subject us to patent litigation and other proceedings that could find us liable for damages.
Loss or limitation of patent rights, and regulatory pathways for biosimilar competition, could reduce the duration of market exclusivity for our products, including EYLEA.
Manufacturing and Supply Risks
We rely on limited internal and contracted manufacturing and supply chain capacity, which could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products and to advance our clinical pipeline. As we increase our production in anticipation of potential regulatory approval for our product candidates (such as REGN-COV2), our current manufacturing capacity will likely not be sufficient, and our dependence on our collaborators and/or contract manufacturers may increase, to produce adequate quantities of drug material for both commercial and clinical purposes.
Expanding our manufacturing capacity and establishing fill/finish capabilities will be costly and we may be unsuccessful in doing so in a timely manner, which could delay or prevent the launch and successful commercialization of our products approved for marketing and could jeopardize our clinical development programs.
53


Table of Contents
Our ability to manufacture products may be impaired if any of our or our collaborators’ manufacturing activities, or the activities of other third parties involved in our manufacture and supply chain, are found to infringe patents of others.
If sales of our marketed products do not meet the levels currently expected, or if the launch of any of our product candidates is delayed or unsuccessful, we may face costs related to excess inventory or unused capacity at our manufacturing facilities and at the facilities of third parties or our collaborators.
Third-party service or supply failures, failures at our manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, or failures at the facilities of any other party participating in the supply chain, would adversely affect our ability to supply our products.
Our or our collaborators’ failure to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates could result in incurring substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if regulatory approval is obtained, and a reduction in sales.
Other Regulatory and Litigation Risks
If the testing or use of our products harms people, or is perceived to harm them even when such harm is unrelated to our products, we could be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims.
Our business activities have been, and may in the future be, challenged under federal or state healthcare laws, which may subject us to civil or criminal proceedings, investigations, or penalties.
We face risks from the improper conduct of our employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators, including those relating to potential non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Our operations are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the use of hazardous materials.
Changes in laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business.
Tax liabilities and risks associated with our operations outside of the United States could adversely affect our business.
We face potential liability related to the personal information we collect from individuals, data brokers, or research institutions or obtain from clinical trials sponsored by us or our collaborators.
Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties
If our collaborations with Sanofi or Bayer are terminated or breached, our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize certain of our products and product candidates in the time expected, or at all, would be materially harmed.
Our collaborators and service providers may fail to perform adequately in their efforts to support the development, manufacture, and commercialization of our drug candidates and current and future products.
Other Risks Factors – Risks Related to Employees, Information Technology, Financial Results and Liquidity, and Our Common Stock
Our business is dependent on our key personnel and will be harmed if we cannot recruit and retain leaders in our research, development, manufacturing, and commercial organizations.
Significant disruptions of information technology systems or breaches of data security could adversely affect our business.
We may need additional funding in the future, which may not be available to us, and which may force us to delay, reduce, or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts.
Our indebtedness could adversely impact our business.
Our stock price is extremely volatile.
Our existing shareholders may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval and over our management.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Our business may be further adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, causing a disease referred to as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. It has since spread around the world, including the United States; and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. This pandemic has adversely affected or has the potential to adversely affect, among other things, the economic and financial markets and labor resources of the countries in which we operate; our manufacturing and supply chain operations, research and development efforts, commercial operations

and sales force, administrative personnel, third-party service providers, and business partners and customers; and the demand for our marketed products.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in travel and other restrictions to reduce the spread of the disease, including governmental orders across the globe, which, among other things, direct individuals to shelter at their places of residence, direct businesses and governmental agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations, prohibit certain non-essential gatherings, maintain social distancing, and order cessation of non-essential travel. As a result of these developments, we have implemented work-from-home policies for a significant part of our employees (except those deemed critical, including those working in our laboratories and manufacturing facilities). The effects of shelter-in-place and social distancing orders, government-imposed quarantines, and work-from-home policies may further negatively impact productivity, disrupt our business, and delay our clinical programs and development timelines beyond the delays we have already experienced and disclosed, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. Such restrictions and limitations may also further negatively impact our access to regulatory authorities (which are affected, among other things, by applicable travel restrictions and may be delayed in responding to inquiries, reviewing filings, and conducting inspections); our ability to perform regularly scheduled quality checks and maintenance; and our ability to obtain services from third-party specialty vendors and other providers or to access their expertise as fully and timely as needed. The COVID-19 pandemic may also result in the loss of some of our key personnel, either temporarily or permanently. In addition, our sales and marketing efforts have been negatively impacted and may be further negatively impacted by postponement or cancellation of face-to-face meetings and restrictions on access by non-essential personnel to hospitals or clinics to the extent such measures slow down adoption or further commercialization of our marketed products. The demand for our marketed products may also be adversely impacted by the restrictions and limitations adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly to the extent they affect the patients' ability or willingness to start or continue treatment with our marketed products. Any of the foregoing factors may result in lower net product sales of our marketed products. For example, net product sales of EYLEA in the United States decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due in part to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. See Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations" for a discussion of our net product sales. Demand for some or all of our marketed products may continue to be reduced while the shelter-in-place or social distancing orders are in effect and, as a result, some of our inventory may become obsolete and may need to be written off, impacting our operating results. These and similar, and perhaps more severe, disruptions in our operations may materially adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Quarantines, shelter-in-place, social distancing, and similar government orders (or the perception that such orders, shutdowns, or other restrictions on the conduct of business operations could occur) related to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases are impacting personnel at our research and manufacturing facilities, our suppliers, and other third parties on which we rely, and are also impacting the availability or cost of materials produced by or purchased from such parties, resulting in supply chain strains or disruptions that may become material. While some materials may be obtained from more than one supplier, port closures and other restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could materially disrupt our supply chain or limit our ability to obtain sufficient materials for the production, including fill/finish, of our products and development of our product candidates as well as our research efforts. If microbial, viral (including COVID-19), or other contaminations are discovered in our products, product candidates, the materials used for their production, or in our facilities, or in the facilities of our collaborators, third-party contract manufacturers, or other contractors or suppliers, the affected facilities may need to be closed or may otherwise be affected for an extended period of time, or the contamination may result in other delays or disruptions in our direct or indirect supply chain.
In addition, infections and deaths related to COVID-19 have disrupted and may continue to disrupt the United States' healthcare and healthcare regulatory systems. Such disruptions could divert healthcare resources away from, or materially delay, FDA review and potential approval of our product candidates and new indications for our marketed products. It is unknown how long these disruptions could continue. In addition, some of our clinical trials have been and may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This impact includes delays in site initiation and patient enrollment due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the COVID-19 pandemic and patients' inability to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services. Similarly, our ability to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-19, has been and may continue to be delayed or disrupted. For example, as noted above in Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview - Programs in Clinical Development," the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact clinical trial execution in many regions across the world for us and our collaborators. We will continue to evaluate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on an individual trial basis. The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may further negatively impact the progress of our clinical trials, including the readouts of trial results, the timing of regulatory review, and any anticipated program milestones. Further, while we continue to focus on developing a novel therapy to address the COVID-19 pandemic, our research programs and the development of our other product candidates may need to be further de-prioritized. Any elongation or de-prioritization of our research and development programs and clinical trials or delay in regulatory review resulting from such disruptions could materially affect the development and study of our product candidates, which would increase our operating expenses and may have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, it recently caused significant disruption of global financial markets and could cause more economic disruption in the future. This disruption, if sustained or recurrent, could make it more difficult for us to access capital if needed. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our Common Stock.
The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The ultimate impact of this pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, our clinical trials, healthcare systems, or the global economy as a whole. These effects could have a material impact on our operations.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, prospects, operating results, or financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this "Risk Factors" section.
We face risks related to the development, manufacturing, and potential commercialization of REGN-COV2.
In response to the recent global outbreak of COVID-19, we are pursuing the development and manufacturing of REGN-COV2, a novel investigational antibody "cocktail" treatment designed to prevent and treat infection from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While we recently announced positive results from the ongoing Phase 2/3 seamless trial in non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19, there are multiple ongoing clinical trials to evaluate the and efficacy of REGN-COV2 and there is no assurance of favorable results from any ongoing or future clinical trials or the timing of their completion. For example, in October 2020, the IDMC for the REGN-COV2 treatment trials recommended that further enrollment of hospitalized patients requiring high-flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation be placed on hold. It is possible that the FDA and other regulatory authorities may not approve REGN-COV2 for the treatment of COVID-19, or that any marketing approvals, if granted, may have significant limitations on its use. Further, other parties may be successful in developing a more effective treatment for COVID-19. As a result, we may never successfully commercialize REGN-COV2. The intense public interest, including speculation by the media, in the development of REGN-COV2 has caused significant volatility in our stock price, which we expect to continue as data and other information from the ongoing and any future clinical trials evaluating REGN-COV2 and third-party product candidates for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 as well as any regulatory actions become public.
We also face risks related to our significant investment in the development, supply, allocation, distribution, pricing, and potential commercialization of REGN-COV2. Given the severity and urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have committed significant capital and resources to fund and supply clinical trials and to accelerate and scale up the production of REGN-COV2, which involves a complex manufacturing process that is both resource- and time-sensitive. We expect our investment in the development and manufacture of REGN-COV2 to continue through 2021 and beyond, although the magnitude of our investment will be subject to clinical data results, the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors, including regulatory outcomes. If we are unable to obtain regulatory approvals, or if we make a strategic decision to discontinue development of REGN-COV2 or are otherwise not successful in the commercialization of REGN-COV2, we will be unable to recoup our significant expenses incurred to date and in the future related to the development and production of REGN-COV2.
In addition, our internal manufacturing capacity will likely not be sufficient to cover the demand for REGN-COV2 if we receive regulatory approval or are otherwise authorized to market this therapy. While we have entered into a collaboration agreement with Roche to develop, manufacture, and distribute REGN-COV2, we cannot be certain that the technology transfer process required to allow Roche to manufacture REGN-COV2 will be completed in the expected time frame or at all nor can we be certain that this collaboration will result in the anticipated increase in the current manufacturing and distribution capacity for REGN-COV2 or that any increased manufacturing and distribution capacity will be sufficient. We and Roche also face challenges related to the allocation of existing and future supply of REGN-COV2, particularly with respect to geographic distribution. As supplies of REGN-COV2 are expected to remain constrained, it is possible that the U.S. government may limit or restrict our ability to distribute and commercialize REGN-COV2 outside of the United States. In addition, as a result of the emergency situations in many countries, there is a heightened risk that REGN-COV2 may be subject to adverse governmental actions in certain countries. The U.S. government may exercise or assert certain rights with respect to our inventions, products, or product candidates. For example, under the Defense Production Act, the U.S. government may, among other things, require domestic industries to provide essential goods and services needed for the national defense, such as drug material or other supplies needed to treat COVID-19 patients, which could require us to allocate manufacturing capacity in a way that impacts our regular operations. In addition, our agreements with the U.S. government contain provisions granting the U.S. government certain rights relating to products, product candidates, and related inventions (as applicable) covered by those agreements. For example, in July 2020, we entered into an agreement to manufacture and deliver REGN-COV2 to the U.S. government. Among other rights, this agreement gives the U.S. government the right to require us to grant a non-exclusive license to applicable inventions to a third party if such action is deemed necessary to alleviate certain health or safety needs. This right may be triggered if we, for example, do not manufacture or supply sufficient product to address such needs. If the U.S. government exercises or asserts any such rights or imposes these or similar measures with respect to our products, product candidates, or related inventions (including REGN-COV2), it may adversely impact our business and results of operations. Foreign governments (including the government of Ireland, where we have manufacturing facilities) may have similar rights or attempt
56


Table of Contents
to assert any such rights. Further, we have observed and are likely to continue to face significant public attention and scrutiny over the complex decisions made regarding the REGN-COV2 development program, including any allocation, distribution, or pricing decisions with respect to REGN-COV2. If we are unable to successfully manage these risks, we could face significant reputational harm, which could negatively affect our stock price.
Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products
We are substantially dependent on the success of EYLEA and Dupixent.
EYLEA net sales represent a substantial portion of our revenues and this concentration of our net sales in a single product makes us substantially dependent on that product. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, EYLEA net sales in the United States represented 59% and 73% of our total revenues, respectively. If we were to experience difficulty with the commercialization of EYLEA in the United States or if Bayer were to experience any difficulty with the commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States (including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above), or if we and Bayer are unable to maintain current marketing approvals of EYLEA, we may experience a reduction in revenue and may not be able to sustain profitability, and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed.
In addition, we have been increasingly dependent on our share of profits from the commercialization of Dupixent under our Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi. If we or Sanofi were to experience any difficulty with the commercialization of Dupixent or if we or Sanofi are unable to maintain current marketing approvals of Dupixent, we may experience a reduction in revenue and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed.
If we or our collaborators are unable to continue to successfully commercialize our products, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition will be materially harmed.
We expect that the degree of commercial success of our marketed products will continue to depend on many factors, including the following (as applicable):
the continued impact of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that has caused the COVID-19 pandemic) on our business and the demand for our marketed products, as well as its continued impact on, among other things, our employees, collaborators, suppliers, and other third parties on which we rely, our ability to continue to manage our supply chain, and the global economy (as further discussed above under "Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic - Our business may be further adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic");

More detailed information about the risks related to the commercialization of our marketed products is provided in the risk factors below.
We and our collaborators are subject to significant ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight with respect to the products we or our collaborators commercialize. If we or our collaborators fail to maintain regulatory compliance for any of such products, the applicable marketing approval may be withdrawn, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We and our collaborators are subject to significant ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight with respect to the products we or they commercialize for the products' currently approved indications in the United States, EU, and other countries where such products are approved. If we or our collaborators fail to maintain regulatory compliance for such products' currently approved indications (including because the product does not meet the relevant endpoints of any required post-approval studies, or for any of the reasons discussed below under "Risks Related to Maintaining Approval of Our Marketed Products and the Development and Obtaining Approval of Our Product Candidates and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for drug products is costly, time-consuming, and highly uncertain"), the applicable marketing approval may be withdrawn, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Failure to comply may also subject us to sanctions, product recalls, or withdrawals of previously approved marketing applications. See also "Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply - Our or our collaborators' failure to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates could result in incurring substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if regulatory approval is obtained, and a reduction in sales" below.
Sales of our marketed products are dependent on the availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party payors, and changes to such reimbursement may materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Sales of our marketed products in the United States are dependent, in large part, on the availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party payors, including private payor healthcare and insurance programs, health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit management companies, and government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Sales of our marketed products in other countries are dependent, in large part, on similar reimbursement mechanisms and programs in those countries.
Our future revenues and profitability will be adversely affected in a material manner if such third-party payors do not adequately defray or reimburse the cost of our marketed products to patients. If these entities do not provide coverage and reimbursement with respect to our marketed products or provide an insufficient level of coverage and reimbursement, such products may be too costly for many patients to afford them, and physicians may not prescribe them. Many third-party payors cover only selected drugs, or may prefer selected drugs, making drugs that are not covered or preferred by such payors more expensive for patients. Third-party payors may also require prior authorization for reimbursement, or require failure on another type of treatment before covering a particular drug, particularly with respect to higher-priced drugs. As our currently marketed products and product candidates are biologics, bringing them to market may cost more than bringing traditional, small-molecule drugs to market due to the complexity associated with the research, development, production, supply, and regulatory review of such products. Given cost sensitivities in many health care systems (which will likely be exacerbated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic), our currently marketed products and product candidates are likely to be subject to continued pricing pressures, which may have an adverse impact on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
In addition, in order for private insurance and governmental payors (such as Medicare and Medicaid in the United States) to reimburse the cost of our marketed products, we must maintain, among other things, our FDA registration and our National
58


Table of Contents
Drug Code, formulary approval by pharmacy benefits managers, and recognition by insurance companies and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (the "CMS"). There is no certainty that we will be able to obtain or maintain the applicable requirements for reimbursement (including relevant formulary coverage, as discussed further below) of our current and future marketed products, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Government and other third-party payors (including pharmacy benefit management companies) are challenging the prices charged for healthcare products and increasingly limiting, and attempting to limit, both coverage and level of reimbursement for prescription drugs, such as by requiring outcomes-based or other pay-for-performance pricing arrangements. They are also imposing restrictions on eligible patient populations and the reimbursement process, including by means of required prior authorizations and utilization management criteria, such as step therapy (i.e., requiring the use of less costly medications before more costly medications are approved for coverage). Some states are also considering legislation that would control the prices and reimbursement of prescription drugs, and state Medicaid programs are increasingly requesting manufacturers to pay supplemental rebates and requiring prior authorization by the state program for use of any prescription drug for which supplemental rebates are not being paid. It is likely that federal and state legislatures and health agencies will continue to focus on additional health care reform measures in the future that will impose additional constraints on prices and reimbursements for our marketed products; this trend may be further accelerated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Further, there have been several recent U.S. Congressional inquiries and proposed federal and state legislation and policies designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, reduce the out-of-pocket cost of prescription drugs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs. At the federal level, some of the Trump administration's prior budget proposals contained drug price control measures that may be included in future legislation, including, for example, measures to permit Medicare Part D plans to negotiate the price of certain drugs under Medicare Part B (such as EYLEA); to allow some states to negotiate drug prices under Medicaid; and to eliminate cost sharing for generic drugs for low-income patients. Additionally, on May 11, 2018, President Trump laid out his administration's "Blueprint to Lower Drug Prices and Reduce Out-of-Pocket Costs" to reduce the cost of prescription drugs while preserving innovation and cures. The HHS has been soliciting feedback on some of these measures and may implement others impacting our business under its existing authority. CMS has also recently sought public comment on how best to leverage its authority provided under the Competitive Acquisition Program and introduce competition into Medicare Part B by allowing CMS to bring on vendors to negotiate payment amounts for Medicare Part B drugs. In addition, since January 1, 2019, CMS has allowed Medicare Advantage ("MA") plans to use step therapy for Part B drugs (such as EYLEA).  On October 25, 2018, President Trump announced that CMS was evaluating a program that proposes to set the Medicare payment amount for Part B single-source drugs and biologics to more closely align with international drug prices (also referred to as reference or international price index ("IPI") drug pricing) and pay physicians and hospitals participating in such program a set drug add-on payment for administered drugs. CMS also issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking that requested public comment on the proposed program, which is contemplated to initially cover fifty percent of Medicare Part B spending on separately payable Part B drugs (such as EYLEA), with the IPI-based price for each such drug to be phased in over a period of five years; notice of proposed rulemaking on this program is pending review by the Office of Management and Budget. In addition, in September 2020, President Trump signed an executive order entitled "Lowering Drug Prices by Putting America First" (the "MFN Executive Order"). The MFN Executive Order provides that it is "the policy of the United States that the Medicare program should not pay more for costly Part B or Part D prescription drugs or biological products than the most-favored-nation price" within the member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "MFN Price"); and directs the Secretary of the HHS to implement rulemaking to test a payment model pursuant to which Medicare would pay no more than the MFN Price for certain drugs covered by Medicare Parts B and D. While the scope, details, and implementation of these contemplated executive actions (including whether and how their mechanism may differ from that of the proposed IPI drug pricing program discussed above) are not clear, this continues to signal that the U.S. administration intends to pursue new measures to constrain drug costs and Medicare payments for drugs. Similarly, various members of the current U.S. Congress and 2020 presidential candidates have indicated that lowering drug prices continues to be a legislative and political priority, and some have introduced proposals aimed at drug pricing. At the state level, legislatures are becoming increasingly aggressive in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access, and price and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures. In some cases, these measures are designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. A reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement from U.S. government programs (including as a result of the proposals, initiatives, and developments described above) could have a material adverse effect on the sales of EYLEA or our other marketed products. Economic pressure on state budgets may also have a similar impact.
In addition, pharmacy benefit management companies often develop formularies to reduce their cost for medications. The breadth of the products covered by formularies varies considerably from one pharmacy benefit management company to another. Failure to be included in such formularies or to achieve favorable formulary status may negatively impact the utilization and market share of our marketed products. If our marketed products are not included within an adequate number of formularies, adequate reimbursement levels are not provided, the eligible insured patient population for our products is limited,
59

or a key payor refuses to provide reimbursement for our products in a particular jurisdiction altogether, this could have a material adverse effect on our and our collaborators' ability to commercialize the applicable product.
In certain foreign countries, pricing, coverage, and level of reimbursement of prescription drugs are subject to governmental control, and we and our collaborators may be unable to obtain coverage, pricing, and/or reimbursement on terms that are favorable to us or necessary for us or our collaborators to successfully commercialize our marketed products in those countries. In some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country, and may take into account the clinical effectiveness, cost, and service impact of existing, new, and emerging drugs and treatments. For example, the EU provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A member state may approve a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the company placing the medicinal product on the market. Our results of operations may suffer if we or our collaborators are unable to market our products in foreign countries or if coverage and reimbursement for our marketed products in foreign countries is limited or delayed.
The commercial success of our products and product candidates is subject to significant competition.
Marketed Products
There is substantial competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries from biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and chemical companies. Many of our competitors have substantially greater research, preclinical and clinical product development and manufacturing capabilities, as well as financial, marketing, and human resources, than we do. Our smaller competitors may also enhance their competitive position if they acquire or discover patentable inventions, form collaborative arrangements, or merge with larger pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. There is significant actual and potential future competition for each of our marketed products.
EYLEA faces significant competition in the marketplace. For example, EYLEA competes in one or more of its approved indications with other VEGF inhibitors, including Novartis and Genentech/Roche's Lucentis® (ranibizumab) and Novartis' Beovu® (brolucizumab). Ophthalmologists are also using off-label, third-party repackaged versions of Genentech/Roche's approved VEGF antagonist, bevacizumab, for the treatment of certain of EYLEA's indications, and we are aware of another company developing an ophthalmic formulation of such product. In DME and RVO, EYLEA also competes with intravitreal implants of corticosteroids. We are also aware of a number of companies working on the development of product candidates and extended delivery devices for the potential treatment of one or more of EYLEA's indications, including those that act by blocking VEGF and VEGF receptors (including therapies designed to extend the treatment interval) and/or other targets (such as Ang2). In addition, we are aware of several companies developing biosimilar versions of EYLEA and other approved anti-VEGF treatments. Other potentially competitive products in development include products for use in combination with EYLEA and/or other anti-VEGF treatments, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, gene therapies, and other eye-drop formulations, devices, and oral therapies. There also is a risk that third parties repackage ZALTRAP for off-label use and sale for the treatment of diseases of the eye, even though ZALTRAP has not been manufactured and formulated for use in intravitreal injections. We are aware of claims by third parties, including those based on published clinical data, alleging that ZALTRAP may be safely administered to the eye.
The market for Dupixent's current and potential future indications is also competitive. In atopic dermatitis, there are several topical ointments or agents either approved or in development. In addition, a number of companies are developing antibodies against IL-13, IL-13Ra1, OX40, IL-31R, and/or IL-1alpha. Several companies are also studying JAK inhibitors for atopic dermatitis. In asthma, competitors to Dupixent include antibodies against the IL-5 ligand or the IL-5 receptor or immunoglobulin E; and some of these antibodies, if approved in this indication, may also compete with Dupixent in CRSwNP. There are several other potentially competitive products in development that may compete with Dupixent in asthma, as well as potential future indications, including antibodies against thymic stromal lymphopoietin ("TSLP"), the IL-33 ligand, or the IL-33 receptor (ST2). Dupixent also faces competition from orally administered small molecule agents and inhaled products in asthma and potential future indications.
Libtayo also faces significant competition. There are several competitors that are marketing and/or developing antibodies against PD-1 and/or PDL-1, including Merck's Keytruda® (pembrolizumab), Bristol-Myers Squibb's Opdivo® (nivolumab), Roche's Tecentriq® (atezolizumab), and AstraZeneca's Imfinzi® (durvalumab).
There is also significant actual and potential future competition for other products marketed or otherwise commercialized by us and/or our collaborators under our collaboration agreements with them. For example, there are several companies that are marketing and/or developing antibodies or other molecules (such as small interfering RNA molecules, or siRNAs) against
60


Table of Contents
PCSK9 and IL-6 and/or IL-6R, which currently (or, for product candidates in development, may in the future if approved) compete with Praluent and Kevzara, respectively.
Product Candidates
Our other late-stage and earlier-stage clinical candidates in development are all fully human antibodies. Our VelocImmune® technology, other antibody generation technologies, and other late-stage and earlier-stage clinical candidates face competition from many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies using various technologies, including antibody generation technologies and other approaches such as RNA interference (RNAi) and chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) technologies. For example, we are aware of other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies actively engaged in the research and development of antibody-based products against targets that are also the targets of our early- and late-stage product candidates. We are also aware of other companies developing or marketing small molecules that may compete with our antibody-based product candidates in various indications, if such product candidates obtain regulatory approval in those indications. If any of these or other competitors announces a successful clinical study involving a product that may be competitive with one of our product candidates or the grant of marketing approval by a regulatory agency for a competitive product, such developments may have an adverse effect on our business or future prospects. In addition, the first product to reach the market in a therapeutic area is often at a significant competitive advantage relative to later entrants to the market. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we, or our collaborators, can develop our product candidates, complete the clinical trials and approval processes, and, if such product candidates are approved for marketing and sale, supply commercial quantities to the market is expected to continue to be an important competitive factor. Due to the uncertainties associated with developing biopharmaceutical products, we may not be the first to obtain marketing approval for a product against any particular target, which may have a material adverse effect on our business or future prospects.
We rely on our collaborations with Bayer and Sanofi for commercializing some of our marketed products.
While we have established our own sales and marketing organization for EYLEA in the United States for its currently approved indications, we have no sales, marketing, commercial, or distribution capabilities for EYLEA outside the United States. Under the terms of our license and collaboration agreement with Bayer (which is terminable by Bayer at any time upon six or twelve months' advance notice, depending on the circumstances giving rise to termination), we rely on Bayer (and, in Japan, Santen pursuant to a Co-Promotion and Distribution Agreement with Bayer's Japanese affiliate, as in effect from time to time) for sales, marketing, and distribution of EYLEA in countries outside the United States.
In addition, under the terms of our Antibody Collaboration and our IO Collaboration, we and Sanofi co-commercialize Dupixent and Libtayo in the United States. As a result, we rely in part on Sanofi's sales and marketing organization in the United States for these products. If we and Sanofi fail to coordinate our United States sales and marketing efforts effectively, sales of any of such products may be materially affected. Sanofi also maintains other important responsibilities relating to Dupixent in the United States. For example, Sanofi records product sales for Dupixent in the United States and leads negotiations with payors relating to this product. We also rely on Sanofi for sales, marketing, and distribution of Dupixent and Libtayo in countries outside the United States. Effective April 1, 2020, we and Sanofi amended the Antibody Collaboration to remove Praluent from the LCA such that, among other things, the LCA no longer governs the development, manufacture, or commercialization of Praluent. Effective as of the same date, we and Sanofi entered into the Praluent Cross License & Commercialization Agreement whereby we, at our sole cost, are solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent in the United States, and Sanofi, at its sole cost, is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of Praluent outside of the United States; and Sanofi pays us a 5% royalty on Sanofi's net product sales of Praluent outside the United States until March 31, 2032.
If we and our collaborators are unsuccessful in continuing to commercialize the marketed products subject to such collaborations, or if Bayer or Sanofi terminate their respective collaborations with us, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially impaired. We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities. Therefore, termination of the Bayer collaboration agreement, our Antibody Collaboration, or our IO Collaboration would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful commercialization of the applicable products, particularly outside the United States. For additional information regarding our collaborations with Bayer and Sanofi, see "Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties - If our collaboration with Bayer for EYLEA is terminated, or Bayer materially breaches its obligations thereunder, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and our ability to continue to develop EYLEA and commercialize EYLEA outside the United States in the time expected, or at all, would be materially harmed" below and "Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties - If our Antibody Collaboration or our IO Collaboration with Sanofi is terminated, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize certain of our products and product candidates in the time expected, or at all, would be materially harmed" below.

Sales of our marketed products recorded by us and our collaborators could be reduced by imports from countries where such products may be available at lower prices.
Our sales of products we commercialize in the United States and our collaborators' sales of products they commercialize under our collaboration agreements with them in the United States and other countries (which impact our share of any profits or losses from the commercialization of these products under the relevant collaboration agreements and, therefore, our results of operations) may be reduced if the applicable product is imported into those countries from lower priced markets, whether legally or illegally (a practice known as parallel trading or reimportation). Parallel traders (who may repackage or otherwise alter the original product or sell it through alternative channels such as mail order or the Internet) take advantage of the price differentials between markets arising from factors including sales costs, market conditions (such as intermediate trading stages), tax rates, or national regulation of prices. Under our arrangement with Bayer, pricing and reimbursement for EYLEA outside the United States is the responsibility of Bayer. Similarly, under our Antibody Collaboration and IO Collaboration with Sanofi, pricing and reimbursement for the products commercialized thereunder outside the United States are the responsibility of Sanofi. Prices for our marketed products in jurisdictions outside the United States are based on local market economics and competition and are likely to differ from country to country. In the United States, prices for pharmaceuticals are generally higher than in the bordering nations of Canada and Mexico and sales of our marketed products in the United States may be reduced if the applicable product marketed in those bordering nations is imported into the United States. In addition, there are proposals to legalize the import of pharmaceuticals from outside the United States into the United States. If such proposals were implemented, our future revenues derived from sales of our marketed products could be reduced. Parallel-trading practices also are of particular relevance to the EU, where they have been encouraged by the current regulatory framework. These types of imports may exert pressure on the pricing of our marketed products in a particular market or reduce sales recorded by us or our collaborators, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.
We may be unsuccessful in continuing the commercialization of our marketed products or in commercializing our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, if approved, which would materially and adversely affect our business, profitability, and future prospects.
Even if clinical trials demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of any of our product candidates for a specific disease and the necessary regulatory approvals are obtained, the commercial success of any of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products will depend upon, among other things, their acceptance by patients, the medical community, and third-party payors and on our and our collaborators' ability to successfully manufacture, market, and distribute those products in substantial commercial quantities or to establish and manage the required infrastructure to do so, including large-scale information technology systems and a large-scale distribution network. Establishing and maintaining sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities are expensive and time-consuming. Even if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications, if they are not successfully commercialized, we will not be able to recover the significant investment we have made in developing such products and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be severely harmed.
The commercial success of our products may also be adversely affected by guidelines or recommendations to healthcare providers, administrators, payors, and patient communities that result in decreased use of our products. Such guidelines or recommendations may be published not only by governmental agencies, but also professional societies, practice management groups, private foundations, and other interested parties.
Our product candidates are delivered either by intravenous infusion or by intravitreal or subcutaneous injections, which are generally less well received by patients than tablet or capsule delivery and this could adversely affect the commercial success of those products if they receive marketing approval.
We are dependent upon a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of or significant reduction in sales to these customers would adversely affect our results of operations.
We sell EYLEA, Libtayo, Praluent, and ARCALYST in the United States to several distributors and specialty pharmacies, as applicable. Under this distribution model, the distributors and specialty pharmacies generally take physical delivery of product and generally sell the product directly to healthcare providers or other pharmacies (as applicable). For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our gross product sales of such products to two customers accounted on a combined basis for 86% of our total gross product revenue. We expect this significant customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate and grow sales of these products will depend, in part, on the extent to which our distributors and specialty pharmacies are able to provide adequate distribution of these products to healthcare providers. Although we believe we can find additional distributors, if necessary, our revenue during any period of disruption could suffer and we might incur additional costs. In addition, these customers are responsible for a significant portion of our net trade accounts receivable balances. The loss of any large customer, a significant reduction in sales we make to them, any cancellation of orders they have made with us, or any failure to pay for the products we have shipped to them could adversely affect our results of operations.

If we are unable to establish commercial capabilities outside the United States for products we intend to commercialize or co-commercialize outside the United States, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and do not currently have an organization for the sales, marketing, and distribution of marketed products outside the United States. We will need to establish commercial capabilities outside the United States if we decide to co-commercialize a product outside the United States. For example, we recently exercised our option under the Antibody Collaboration to co-commercialize Dupixent in certain jurisdictions outside the United States. In addition, there may be other circumstances in which we need to establish commercial capabilities outside the United States, including because we decide to commercialize a particular product independently; we are unable to find an appropriate collaborator; or our existing collaborator decides not to opt in, decides to opt out, or breaches its obligations to us with respect to a particular product.
In order to commercialize or co-commercialize any products outside the United States, we must build our sales, marketing, distribution, managerial, and other non-technical capabilities in the relevant markets or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services, which would likely be expensive and time consuming and could delay product launch or the co-commercialization of a product in one or more markets outside the United States. We cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully develop commercial capabilities outside the United States within an acceptable time frame or at all. These and other difficulties relating to commercializing our products outside the United States may severely harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Risks Related to Maintaining Approval of Our Marketed Products and the Development and Obtaining Approval of Our Product Candidates and New Indications for Our Marketed Products
If we or our collaborators do not maintain regulatory approval for our marketed products, and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, we will not be able to market or sell them, which would materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We cannot sell or market products without regulatory approval. If we or our collaborators do not maintain regulatory approval for our marketed products, and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications of our marketed products (or are materially delayed in doing so), the value of our Company and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for drug products is costly, time-consuming, and highly uncertain.
In the United States, we (which, for purposes of this risk factor, includes our collaborators, unless otherwise stated or required by the context) must obtain and maintain approval from the FDA for each drug we intend to sell. Obtaining FDA approval is typically a lengthy and expensive process, and approval is highly uncertain. We cannot predict with certainty if or when we might submit for regulatory approval for any of our product candidates currently under development. Any approvals we may obtain may not cover all of the clinical indications for which we are seeking approval. Also, an approval might contain significant limitations in the form of narrow indications, warnings, precautions, or contra-indications with respect to conditions of use. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process (including with respect to setting specific conditions for submission) and may either refuse to accept an application for substantive review or may form the opinion after review of an application that the application is insufficient to allow approval of a product candidate. If the FDA does not accept our application for review or approve our application, it may require that we conduct additional clinical, preclinical, or manufacturing validation studies and submit the data before it will reconsider our application. Depending on the extent of these or any other studies that might be required, approval of any applications that we submit may be delayed significantly, or we may be required to expend more resources. It is also possible that any such additional studies, if performed and completed, may not be considered sufficient by the FDA to make our applications approvable. If any of these outcomes occur, we may be forced to delay or abandon our applications for approval.
In certain instances (such as when we use a biomarker-based test to identify and enroll specific patients in a clinical trial), regulatory approval of a companion diagnostic to our therapeutic product candidate may be required as a condition to regulatory approval of the therapeutic product candidate. We may need to rely on third parties to provide companion diagnostics for use with our product candidates. Such third parties may be unable or unwilling on terms acceptable to us to provide such companion diagnostics or to obtain timely regulatory approval of such companion diagnostics, which could negatively impact regulatory approval of our product candidates or may result in increased development costs or delays.
The FDA may also require us to conduct additional clinical trials after granting approval of a product. Its ability to do so has been enhanced by the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, pursuant to which the FDA has the explicit authority to require postmarketing studies (also referred to as post-approval or Phase 4 studies), labeling changes based on new
63


Table of Contents
safety information, and compliance with FDA-approved risk evaluation and mitigation strategies. Post-approval studies, whether conducted by us or by others and whether mandated by regulatory agencies or voluntary, and other data about our marketed products (or data about products similar to our marketed products that implicate an entire class of products or are perceived to do so) may result in changes in product labeling, restrictions on use, product withdrawal or recall, loss of approval, or lower sales of our products.
According to the FDA policies under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, the FDA system of review times for new drugs includes standard review and priority review. Standard review can be accomplished in a 10-month time frame from the time the application is filed by the FDA (filing date), which typically occurs approximately 60 days following submission of the application by the applicant. The FDA has stated the goal to act on 90% of standard new molecular entity ("NME") New Drug Application ("NDA") and original BLA submissions within 10 months of the filing date. A priority review designation is given to drugs that treat a serious condition and offer major advances in treatment, or provide a treatment where no adequate therapy exists, and may also be afforded to a human drug application based on a priority review voucher. The FDA has stated the goal to act on 90% of priority NME NDA and original BLA submissions within six months of the filing date. However, the FDA's review goals are subject to change and the duration of the FDA's review depends on a number of factors, including the number and types of other applications that are submitted to the FDA around the same time period or are pending. Even if any of our applications receives a priority review designation, we may not ultimately be able to obtain approval of our application within a time frame consistent with the FDA's stated review goals or at all, and such designation may not actually lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process.
The FDA enforces Good Clinical Practices ("GCPs") and other regulations through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, clinical research organizations ("CROs"), principal investigators, and trial sites. If we or any of the third parties conducting our clinical studies are determined to have failed to fully comply with GCPs, the study protocol or applicable regulations, the clinical data generated in those studies may be deemed unreliable. This could result in non-approval of our product candidates by the FDA, or we or the FDA may decide to conduct additional inspections or require additional clinical studies, which would delay our development programs, require us to incur additional costs, and could substantially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Before approving a new drug or biologic product, the FDA requires that the facilities at which the product will be manufactured or advanced through the supply chain be in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, requirements and regulations governing the manufacture, shipment, and storage of the product. These cGMP requirements and regulations are not prescriptive instructions on how to manufacture products, but rather a series of principles that must be observed during manufacturing; as a result, their implementation may not be clearly delineated and may present a challenging task. Manufacturing product candidates in compliance with these regulatory requirements is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. To be successful, our products must be manufactured in compliance with regulatory requirements, and at competitive costs. If we or any of our third-party manufacturers, product packagers, labelers, or other parties performing steps in the supply chain are unable to maintain regulatory compliance, the FDA can impose regulatory sanctions, including, among other things, refusal to approve a pending application for a new drug or biologic product, or revocation of a pre-existing approval. For additional information, see "Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply - Our or our collaborators' failure to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates could result in incurring substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if regulatory approval is obtained, and a reduction in sales." Our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed as a result of noncompliance with the requirements and regulations described in this paragraph.
In addition to the regular way drug approval process, the FDA has the authority to grant an EUA to allow unapproved medical products to be used in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when, based on the totality of scientific evidence, there is evidence of effectiveness of the medical product, and there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. If we are granted an EUA for any of our product candidates (such as REGN-COV2), we would be able to commercialize any such product candidate prior to FDA approval. However, there is no guarantee that the FDA will grant an EUA for any of our product candidates; in addition, the FDA may revoke an EUA where it is determined that the underlying health emergency no longer exists or warrants such authorization, and we cannot predict how long an EUA (if it is granted with respect to any of our product candidates) would remain in effect for any such product candidate. Such revocation could adversely impact our business in a variety of ways, including by having to absorb related manufacturing and overhead costs as well as potential inventory write-offs if regulatory approval is not obtained timely or at all.
In addition to the FDA and other regulatory agency regulations in the United States, we are subject to a variety of foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials, manufacturing, marketing and approval of drugs, and commercial sale and distribution of drugs in foreign countries. The foreign regulatory approval process is similarly a lengthy and expensive process, the result of which is highly uncertain, and foreign regulatory requirements include all of the risks associated with
64


Table of Contents
FDA approval as well as country specific regulations. We and our collaborators must maintain regulatory compliance for the products we or they commercialize in foreign jurisdictions. From time to time, we may hold a product's marketing approval in a jurisdiction outside the United States where we may have less experience and where our regulatory capabilities may be more limited. In addition, actions by a regulatory agency in a country or region with respect to a product candidate may have an impact on the approval process for that product candidate in another country or region. Foreign regulatory authorities often also have the authority to require post-approval studies, which involve various risks similar to those described above, and may ask for additional data in order to begin a clinical study. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product in the United States, we must obtain approval of the product by the comparable regulatory authorities in foreign countries before we can market that product or any other product in those countries.
Preclinical and clinical studies required for our product candidates and new indications of our marketed products are expensive and time-consuming, and their outcome is highly uncertain. If any such studies are delayed or yield unfavorable results, regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications of our marketed products may be delayed or become unobtainable.
As described above, we must conduct extensive testing of our product candidates and new indications of our marketed products before we can obtain regulatory approval to market and sell them. We need to conduct both preclinical animal testing and human clinical trials. Conducting such studies is a lengthy, time-consuming, and expensive process. These tests and trials may not achieve favorable results for many reasons, including, among others, failure of the product candidate to demonstrate safety or efficacy, the development of serious or life-threatening adverse events (or side effects) caused by or connected with exposure to the product candidate (or prior or concurrent exposure to other products or product candidates), difficulty in enrolling and maintaining subjects in a clinical trial, clinical trial design that may not make it possible to enroll a sufficient number of patients to achieve a statistically significant result or the desired level of statistical significance, lack of sufficient supplies of the product candidate or comparator drug, and the failure of clinical investigators, trial monitors, contractors, consultants, or trial subjects to comply with the trial plan, protocol, or applicable regulations related to the FDA's Good Laboratory Practice requirements ("GLPs") or GCPs. A clinical trial may also fail because it did not include and/or retain a sufficient number of patients to detect the endpoint being measured or reach statistical significance. A clinical trial may also fail because the dose(s) of the investigational drug included in the trial were either too low or too high to determine the optimal effect of the investigational drug in the disease setting.
We will need to reevaluate any drug candidate that does not test favorably and either conduct new studies, which are expensive and time consuming, or abandon that drug development program. If preclinical testing yields unfavorable results, product candidates may not advance to clinical trials. The failure of clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our clinical candidates for the desired indication(s) would preclude the successful development of those candidates for such indication(s), in which event our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
Furthermore, some of our products and product candidates (such as Libtayo and Dupixent) are studied in combination with agents and treatments developed by us or our collaborators. There may be additional risks and unforeseen safety issues resulting from such combined administration, any of which may materially adversely impact clinical development of these product candidates and our ability to obtain regulatory approval.
Successful development of our current and future product candidates is uncertain.
Only a small minority of all research and development programs ultimately result in commercially successful drugs. Clinical trials may not demonstrate statistically sufficient effectiveness and safety to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for these product candidates in these indications. Many companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including our Company, have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials, even after promising results have been obtained in earlier trials. In a number of instances, we have terminated the development of product candidates due to a lack of or only modest effectiveness, and clinical trials evaluating our product candidates failed to meet the relevant endpoints. For example, in August 2017, we reported that the Phase 3 study evaluating suptavumab, an antibody to RSV, did not meet its primary endpoint of preventing medically-attended RSV infections in infants; as a result, we have discontinued further clinical development of this antibody. Moreover, even if we obtain positive results from preclinical testing or clinical trials, we may not achieve the same success in future trials, or the FDA and analogous foreign regulatory authorities may deem the results insufficient for an approval.
Many of our clinical trials are conducted under the oversight of IDMCs. These independent oversight bodies are made up of external experts who review the progress of ongoing clinical trials, including available safety and efficacy data, and make recommendations concerning a trial's continuation, modification, or termination based on interim, unblinded data. Any of our ongoing clinical trials may be discontinued or amended in response to recommendations made by responsible IDMCs based on their review of such interim trial results. For example, in August 2020, we discontinued actively treating patients with fasinumab (which at such time only involved dosing in an optional second-year extension phase of one trial) following a recommendation from the responsible IDMC that the program be terminated based on available evidence to date. The
65


Table of Contents
recommended termination or material modification of any of our ongoing late-stage clinical trials by an IDMC could negatively impact the future development of our product candidate(s), and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
We are studying our antibody-based product candidates in a wide variety of indications in clinical trials. Many of these trials are exploratory studies designed to evaluate the safety profile of these compounds and to identify what diseases and uses, if any, are best suited for these product candidates. These product candidates may not demonstrate the requisite efficacy and/or safety profile to support continued development for some or all of the indications that are being, or are planned to be, studied, which would diminish our clinical "pipeline" and could negatively affect our future prospects and the value of our Company.
Serious complications or side effects in connection with the use of our products and in clinical trials for our product candidates and new indications for our marketed products could cause our regulatory approvals to be revoked or limited or lead to delay or discontinuation of development of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, which could severely harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
During the conduct of clinical trials, patients report changes in their health, including illnesses, injuries, and discomforts, to their study doctor. Often, it is not possible to determine whether or not the drug candidate being studied caused these conditions. Various illnesses, injuries, and discomforts have been reported from time-to-time during clinical trials of our product candidates and new indications for our marketed products. It is possible that as we test our drug candidates or new indications in larger, longer, and more extensive clinical programs, or as use of these drugs becomes more widespread if they receive regulatory approval, illnesses, injuries, and discomforts that were observed in earlier trials, as well as conditions that did not occur or went undetected in previous trials, will be reported by patients. Many times, side effects are only detectable after investigational drugs are tested in large-scale, Phase 3 clinical trials or, in some cases, after they are made available to patients after approval. If additional clinical experience indicates that any of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products has many side effects or causes serious or life-threatening side effects, the development of the product candidate may be delayed or fail, or, if the product candidate has received regulatory approval, such approval may be revoked, which would severely harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
With respect to EYLEA, there are many potential safety concerns associated with significant blockade of VEGF that may limit our ability to further successfully commercialize EYLEA. These serious and potentially life-threatening risks, based on clinical and preclinical experience of VEGF inhibitors, include bleeding, intestinal perforation, hypertension, proteinuria, congestive heart failure, heart attack, and stroke. Other VEGF blockers have reported side effects that became evident only after large-scale trials or after marketing approval when large numbers of patients were treated. There are risks inherent in the intravitreal administration of drugs like aflibercept (such as intraocular inflammation ("IOI"), sterile and culture positive endophthalmitis, corneal decomposition, retinal detachment, and retinal tear), which can cause injury to the eye and other complications. The side effects previously reported for EYLEA include conjunctival hemorrhage, macular degeneration, eye pain, retinal hemorrhage, and vitreous floaters. In addition, commercialization of EYLEA or our other products may be impacted by actions of third parties on which we rely, such as manufacturers of syringes or other devices used in the administration of our products. For example, in February 2018, we issued a letter to healthcare professionals providing updated guidance relating to reports of IOI following EYLEA injections. In this letter, we noted that while our review did not identify any association of IOI rates with the EYLEA drug itself, an association was seen with certain batches of the syringe that were included in specific lots of final packaged EYLEA kits. These and other complications or issues or side effects could harm further development and/or commercialization of EYLEA.
Dupixent and Libtayo are being studied in additional indications, as shown in the table under Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview - Programs in Clinical Development." There is no guarantee that marketing approval of Dupixent or Libtayo (as applicable) in any of these indications will be successfully obtained. The side effects previously reported for Dupixent include hypersensitivity reactions, conjunctivitis and keratitis, injection-site reactions, eye and eyelid inflammation, cold sores, oropharyngeal pain, and eosinophilia; and the side effects previously reported for Libtayo include certain immune-mediated adverse reactions, such as pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, endocrinopathies, nephritis, and dermatologic reactions, as well as infusion-related reactions, cellulitis, sepsis, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, fatigue, rash, and diarrhea. These and other complications or side effects could harm further development and/or commercialization of Dupixent and Libtayo (as applicable).
There also are risks inherent in subcutaneous injections (which are used for administering most of our antibody-based products and product candidates), such as injection-site reactions (including redness, itching, swelling, pain, and tenderness) and other side effects. These and other complications or side effects could harm further development and/or commercialization of our antibody-based products and product candidates utilizing this method of administration.

Our product candidates in development are recombinant proteins that could cause an immune response, resulting in the creation of harmful or neutralizing antibodies against the therapeutic protein.
In addition to the safety, efficacy, manufacturing, and regulatory hurdles faced by our product candidates, the administration of recombinant proteins frequently causes an immune response, resulting in the creation of antibodies against the therapeutic protein. The antibodies can have no effect or can totally neutralize the effectiveness of the protein, or require that higher doses be used to obtain a therapeutic effect. In some cases, the antibody can cross-react with the patient's own proteins, resulting in an "auto-immune" type disease. Whether antibodies will be created can often not be predicted from preclinical or clinical experiments, and their detection or appearance is often delayed, so neutralizing antibodies may be detected at a later date, in some cases even after pivotal clinical trials have been completed.
We may be unable to formulate or manufacture our product candidates in a way that is suitable for clinical or commercial use, which would delay or prevent continued development of such candidates and/or receipt of regulatory approval or commercial sale, which could materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
If we are unable to continue to develop suitable product formulations or manufacturing processes to support large-scale clinical testing of our product candidates, including our antibody-based product candidates, we may be unable to supply necessary materials for our clinical trials, which would delay or prevent the development of our product candidates. Similarly, if we are unable, directly or through our collaborators or third parties, to supply sufficient quantities of our products or develop formulations of our product candidates suitable for commercial use, we will be unable to obtain regulatory approval for those product candidates.
Many of our products are intended to be used and, if approved, our product candidates may be used in combination with drug-delivery devices, which may result in additional regulatory, commercialization, and other risks.
Many of our products are used and some of our products and product candidates may be used, if approved, in combination with a drug-delivery device, including a pre-filled syringe, patch pump, auto-injector, or other delivery system. For example, in the United States and the EU, EYLEA is approved in the 2mg pre-filled syringe. The success of our products and product candidates may depend to a significant extent on the performance of such devices, some of which may be novel or comprised of complex components. Given the increased complexity of the review process when approval of the product and device is sought under a single marketing application and the additional risks resulting from a product candidate's designation as a combination product discussed below, our product candidates used with such drug-delivery devices may be substantially delayed in receiving regulatory approval or may not be approved at all. The FDA review process and criteria for such applications are not well established, which could also lead to delays in the approval process. In addition, some of these drug-delivery devices may be provided by single-source, third-party providers or our collaborators. In any such case, we may be dependent on the sustained cooperation of those third-party providers or collaborators to supply and manufacture the devices; to conduct the studies and prepare related documentation required for approval or clearance by the applicable regulatory agencies; and to continue to meet the applicable regulatory and other requirements to maintain approval or clearance once it has been received. In addition, other parties may allege that our drug-delivery devices infringe patents or other intellectual property rights. For example, we are currently party to patent infringement and other proceedings relating to the EYLEA pre-filled syringe, as described in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Failure to successfully develop or supply the devices, delays in or failure of the studies conducted by us, our collaborators, or third-party providers, or failure of our Company, our collaborators, or the third-party providers to obtain or maintain regulatory approval or clearance of the devices could result in increased development costs, delays in or failure to obtain regulatory approval, and associated delays in a product or product candidate reaching the market. Loss of regulatory approval or clearance of a device that is used with our product may also result in the removal of our product from the market. Further, failure to successfully develop or supply and manufacture these devices, or to gain or maintain their approval, could adversely affect sales of the related products.
In the United States, each component of a combination product is subject to the requirements established by the FDA for that type of component, whether a drug, biologic, or device. The determination whether a product is a combination product or two separately regulated products is made by the FDA on a case-by-case basis. Although a single marketing application is generally sufficient for the approval, clearance, or licensure of a combination product, the FDA may determine that separate marketing applications are necessary. In addition, submitting separate marketing applications may be necessary to receive some benefit that accrues only from approval under a particular type of application. This could significantly increase the resources and time required to bring a particular combination product to market.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Market Exclusivity
If we cannot protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, or our patents or other means of defending our intellectual property are insufficient to protect our proprietary rights, our business and competitive position will be harmed.
Our business requires using sensitive and proprietary technology and other information that we protect as trade secrets. We seek to prevent improper disclosure of these trade secrets through confidentiality agreements and other means. If our trade secrets are improperly disclosed, by our current or former employees, our collaborators, or otherwise, it could help our competitors and adversely affect our business. We will be able to protect our proprietary rights only to the extent that our proprietary technologies and other information are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. The patent position of biotechnology companies, including our Company, involves complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, enforceability cannot be predicted with certainty. Our patents may be challenged, invalidated, held to be unenforceable, or circumvented. Patent applications filed outside the United States may be challenged by other parties, for example, by filing third-party observations that argue against patentability or an opposition. Such opposition proceedings are increasingly common in the EU and are costly to defend. For example, our European Patent No. 2,264,163 is the subject of opposition proceedings in the European Patent Office (the "EPO") (currently pending before its Boards of Appeal), as described in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. We have pending patent applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "USPTO"), the EPO, and the patent offices of other foreign jurisdictions, and it is likely that we will need to defend patents from challenges by others from time to time in the future. Certain of our U.S. patents may also be challenged by parties who file a request for post-grant review or inter partes review under the America Invents Act of 2011 or ex parte reexamination. For example, on February 11, 2020, anonymous parties filed two requests for ex parte reexamination of two of our patents - U.S. Patent Nos. 10,406,226 (the "'226 Patent") and 10,464,992 (the "'992 Patent"). The '226 Patent concerns methods for manufacturing VEGF antagonist fusion proteins, including aflibercept, and the '992 Patent concerns formulations and vials containing VEGF antagonist fusion proteins, including aflibercept. The USPTO has granted both requests to initiate reexamination proceedings. Post-grant proceedings are increasingly common in the United States and are costly to defend. Our patent rights may not provide us with a proprietary position or competitive advantages against competitors. Furthermore, even if the outcome is favorable to us, the enforcement of our intellectual property rights can be extremely expensive and time consuming.
We also currently hold issued trademark registrations and have trademark applications pending in the United States and other jurisdictions, any of which may be the subject of a governmental or third-party objection, which could prevent the maintenance or issuance of the trademark. As our products mature, our reliance on our trademarks to differentiate us from our competitors increases and as a result, if we are unable to prevent third parties from adopting, registering, or using trademarks that infringe, dilute or otherwise violate our trademark rights, our business could be adversely affected. 
We may be restricted in our development, manufacturing, and/or commercialization activities by patents or other proprietary rights of others, and could be subject to awards of damages if we are found to have infringed such patents or rights.
Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of others (including those relating to trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets). Other parties may allege that they own blocking patents to our products in clinical development or even to products that have received regulatory approval and are being or have been commercialized, either because they claim to hold proprietary rights to the composition of a product or the way it is manufactured or the way it is used. Moreover, other parties may allege that they have blocking patents to antibody-based products made using our VelocImmune technology, or any other of our technologies, either because of the way the antibodies are discovered or produced or because of a proprietary composition covering an antibody or the antibody's target.
We have been in the past, are currently, and may in the future be involved in patent litigation and other proceedings involving patents and other intellectual property. For example, we and/or Sanofi are currently party to patent infringement proceedings initiated by Amgen against us and/or Sanofi relating to Praluent and patent infringement proceedings relating to Dupixent, as described in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we are currently party to patent infringement and other proceedings relating to the EYLEA pre-filled syringe, as described in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We are aware of patents and pending patent applications owned by others that respectively claim antibodies to IL-4R and methods of treating conditions including atopic dermatitis and asthma with such antibodies; antibodies to IL-6R and methods of treating conditions including rheumatoid arthritis with such antibodies; antibodies to PCSK9 and methods of treating hypercholesterolemia with such antibodies; and antibodies to PD-1 and methods of treating cancer with such antibodies. In addition to Dupixent (dupilumab), Libtayo (cemiplimab), Praluent (alirocumab), and Kevzara (sarilumab), our late-stage antibody-based pipeline includes fasinumab, an antibody to NGF; evinacumab, an antibody to ANGPTL3; garetosmab, an antibody to Activin A; pozelimab, an antibody to C5; odronextamab, a bispecific antibody targeting CD20 and CD3; and

Table of Contents
REGN-COV2, a novel investigational antibody "cocktail" treatment designed to prevent and treat infection from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Although we do not believe that any of our products or our late-stage antibody-based product candidates infringe any valid claim in these patents or patent applications, these other parties could initiate lawsuits for patent infringement and assert that their patents are valid and cover our products or our late-stage antibody-based product candidates, similar to the patent infringement proceedings referred to above. Further, we are aware of a number of patent applications of others that, if granted with claims as currently drafted, may cover our current or planned activities. It could be determined that our products and/or actions in manufacturing or selling our products or product candidates infringe such patents.
Patent holders could assert claims against us for damages and seek to prevent us from manufacturing, selling, or developing our products or product candidates, and a court may find that we are infringing validly issued patents of others. In the event that the manufacture, use, or sale of any of our products or product candidates infringes on the patents or violates other proprietary rights of others, we may be prevented from pursuing product development, manufacturing, and commercialization of those drugs and may be required to pay costly damages. In addition, in the event that we assert our patent rights against other parties that we believe are infringing our patent rights, such parties may challenge the validity of our patents and we may become the target of litigation, which may result in an outcome that is unfavorable to us. Any of these adverse developments may materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. In any event, legal disputes are likely to be costly and time consuming to defend.
We seek to obtain licenses to patents when, in our judgment, such licenses are needed or advisable. For example, in August 2018, we and Sanofi entered into a license agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb, E. R. Squibb & Sons, and Ono Pharmaceutical to obtain a license under certain patents owned and/or exclusively licensed by one or more of these parties that includes the right to develop and sell Libtayo. If any licenses are required, we may not be able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The failure to obtain any such license could prevent us from developing or commercializing any one or more of our products or product candidates, which could severely harm our business.
Loss or limitation of patent rights, and regulatory pathways for biosimilar competition, could reduce the duration of market exclusivity for our products.
In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, the majority of an innovative product's commercial value is usually realized during the period in which it has market exclusivity. In the United States and some other countries, when market exclusivity expires and generic versions of a product are approved and marketed, there usually are very substantial and rapid declines in the product's sales.
If our late-stage product candidates or other clinical candidates are approved for marketing in the United States or elsewhere, market exclusivity for those products will generally be based upon patent rights and/or certain regulatory forms of exclusivity. As described above under "If we cannot protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, or our patents or other means of defending our intellectual property are insufficient to protect our proprietary rights, our business and competitive position will be harmed," the scope and enforceability of our patent rights may vary from country to country. The failure to obtain patent and other intellectual property rights, or limitations on the use, or the loss, of such rights could materially harm us. Absent patent protection or regulatory exclusivity for our products, it is possible, both in the United States and elsewhere, that generic, biosimilar, and/or interchangeable versions of those products may be approved and marketed, which would likely result in substantial and rapid reductions in revenues from sales of those products.
Under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the "PPACA"), there is an abbreviated path in the United States for regulatory approval of products that are demonstrated to be "biosimilar" or "interchangeable" with an FDA-approved biological product. The PPACA provides a regulatory mechanism that allows for FDA approval of biologic drugs that are similar to innovative drugs on the basis of less extensive data than is required by a full BLA. Under this regulation, an application for approval of a biosimilar may be filed four years after approval of the innovator product. However, qualified innovative biological products receive 12 years of regulatory exclusivity, meaning that the FDA may not approve a biosimilar version until 12 years after the innovative biological product was first approved by the FDA. However, the term of regulatory exclusivity may not remain at 12 years in the United States and could be shortened if, for example, the PPACA is amended.
A number of jurisdictions outside of the United States have also established abbreviated pathways for regulatory approval of biological products that are biosimilar to earlier versions of biological products. For example, the EU has had an established regulatory pathway for biosimilars since 2005.
The increased likelihood of biosimilar competition has increased the risk of loss of innovators' market exclusivity. It is also not possible to predict changes in United States regulatory law that might reduce biological product regulatory exclusivity. Due to this risk, and uncertainties regarding patent protection, it is not possible to predict the length of market exclusivity for any
69


Table of Contents
particular product we currently or may in the future commercialize with certainty based solely on the expiration of the relevant patent(s) or the current forms of regulatory exclusivity. We are aware of several companies developing biosimilar versions of EYLEA. In the United States, the regulatory exclusivity period for EYLEA (i.e., the period during which no biosimilar product can be approved by the FDA) expires on November 18, 2023, with the possibility of an additional six months of regulatory exclusivity (i.e., until May 18, 2024) if the FDA grants pediatric exclusivity based on our completion of certain studies evaluating EYLEA in pediatric patients with retinopathy of prematurity and submission of the data from these studies to the FDA no later than 15 months before the date on which regulatory exclusivity would otherwise expire. The loss of market exclusivity for a product (such as EYLEA) would likely materially and negatively affect revenues from product sales of that product and thus our financial results and condition.
Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply
We rely on limited internal and contracted manufacturing and supply chain capacity, which could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our marketed products and, if approved, our product candidates and to advance our clinical pipeline.
We have large-scale manufacturing operations in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland. Manufacturing facilities operated by us and by third-party contract manufacturers engaged by us would be inadequate to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredients of our current marketed products and our product candidates in sufficient clinical quantities if our clinical pipeline advances as planned. For example, our internal manufacturing capacity will likely not be sufficient to cover the demand for REGN-COV2, our novel investigational antibody "cocktail" treatment designed to prevent and treat infection from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, if we receive regulatory approval or are otherwise authorized to market this therapy. In addition to expanding our internal capacity, we intend to continue to rely on our collaborators, and may also rely on contract manufacturers, to produce commercial quantities of drug material needed for commercialization of our products. For example, as described in Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in August 2020, we announced a collaboration agreement with Roche to develop, manufacture, and distribute REGN-COV2. We cannot be certain that the technology transfer process required to allow Roche to manufacture REGN-COV2 will be completed in the expected time frame or at all nor can we be certain that this collaboration will result in the anticipated increase in the current manufacturing and distribution capacity for REGN-COV2 or that any increased manufacturing and distribution capacity will be sufficient. As we increase our production in anticipation of potential regulatory approval for our product candidates, our current manufacturing capacity will likely not be sufficient, and our dependence on our collaborators and/or contract manufacturers may increase, to produce adequate quantities of drug material for both commercial and clinical purposes. We rely entirely on other parties and our collaborators for filling and finishing services, including with respect to drug-delivery devices (such as a pre-filled syringe, patch pump, auto-injector, or other delivery system). Generally, in order for other parties to perform any step in the manufacturing and supply chain, we must transfer technology to the other party, which can be time consuming and may not be successfully accomplished without considerable cost and expense, or at all. We will have to depend on these other parties to perform effectively on a timely basis and to comply with regulatory requirements. If for any reason they are unable to do so, and as a result we are unable to directly or through other parties manufacture and supply sufficient commercial and clinical quantities of our products on acceptable terms, or if we should encounter delays or other difficulties with our collaborators, contract manufacturers, warehouses, shipping, testing laboratories, or other parties involved in our supply chain which adversely affect the timely manufacture and supply of our products or product candidates, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
Expanding our manufacturing capacity and establishing fill/finish capabilities will be costly and we may be unsuccessful in doing so in a timely manner, which could delay or prevent the launch and successful commercialization of our marketed products and product candidates or other indications for our marketed products if they are approved for marketing and could jeopardize our current and future clinical development programs.
In addition to our existing manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, we may lease, operate, purchase, or construct additional facilities to conduct expanded manufacturing or other related activities in the future. Expanding our manufacturing capacity to supply commercial quantities of the active pharmaceutical ingredients for our marketed products and our product candidates if they are approved for marketing, and to supply clinical drug material to support the continued growth of our clinical programs, will require substantial additional expenditures, time, and various regulatory approvals and permits. This also holds true for establishing fill/finish capabilities in the future, for which we have taken initial steps. Further, we will need to hire and train significant numbers of employees and managerial personnel to staff our expanding manufacturing and supply chain operations, as well as any future fill/finish activities. Start-up costs can be large, and scale-up entails significant risks related to process development and manufacturing yields. In addition, we may face difficulties or delays in developing or acquiring the necessary production equipment and technology to manufacture sufficient quantities of our product candidates at reasonable costs and in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. The FDA and analogous foreign regulatory authorities must determine that our existing and any expanded manufacturing facilities and
70


Table of Contents
any future fill/finish activities comply, or continue to comply, with cGMP requirements for both clinical and commercial production and license them, or continue to license them, accordingly, and such facilities must also comply with applicable environmental, safety, and other governmental permitting requirements. We may not successfully expand or establish sufficient manufacturing or any future fill/finish capabilities or manufacture our products economically or in compliance with cGMPs and other regulatory requirements, and we and our collaborators may not be able to build or procure additional capacity in the required timeframe to meet commercial demand for our product candidates if they receive regulatory approval, and to continue to meet the requirements of our clinical programs. This would interfere with our efforts to successfully commercialize our marketed products, and could also delay or require us to discontinue one or more of our clinical development programs. As a result, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition could be materially harmed.
Our ability to manufacture products may be impaired if any of our or our collaborators' manufacturing activities, or the activities of other third parties involved in our manufacture and supply chain, are found to infringe patents of others.
Our ability to continue to manufacture products in our Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland facilities and at additional facilities (if any) in the future (including our ability to conduct any fill/finish activities in the future), the ability of our collaborators to manufacture products at their facilities, and our ability to utilize other third parties to produce our products, to supply raw materials or other products, or to perform fill/finish services or other steps in our manufacture and supply chain, depends on our and their ability to operate without infringing the patents or other intellectual property rights of others. Other parties may allege that our or our collaborators' manufacturing activities, or the activities of other third parties involved in our manufacture and supply chain (which may be located in jurisdictions outside the United States), infringe patents or other intellectual property rights. For example, we are currently party to patent infringement and other proceedings relating to the EYLEA pre-filled syringe, as described in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A judicial or regulatory decision in favor of one or more parties making such allegations could directly or indirectly preclude the manufacture of our products to which those intellectual property rights apply on a temporary or permanent basis, which could materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
If sales of our marketed products do not meet the levels currently expected, or if the launch of any of our product candidates is delayed or unsuccessful, we may face costs related to excess inventory or unused capacity at our manufacturing facilities and at the facilities of third parties or our collaborators.
We use our manufacturing facilities primarily to produce bulk product for commercial supply of our marketed products and clinical and preclinical candidates for ourselves and our collaborations. We also plan to use such facilities to produce bulk product for commercial supply of new indications of our marketed products and new product candidates if they are approved for marketing. If our clinical candidates are discontinued or their clinical development is delayed, if the launch of new indications for our marketed products or new product candidates is delayed or does not occur, or if such products are launched and the launch is unsuccessful or the product is subsequently recalled or marketing approval is rescinded, we may have to absorb one hundred percent of related overhead costs and inefficiencies, as well as similar costs of third-party contract manufacturers performing services for us. In addition, if we or our collaborators experience excess inventory, it may be necessary to write down or write off such excess inventory or incur an impairment charge with respect to the facility where such product is manufactured, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Third-party service or supply failures, or other failures, business interruptions, or other disasters affecting our manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, the manufacturing facilities of our collaborators, or the facilities of any other party participating in the supply chain, would adversely affect our ability to supply our products.
Bulk drug materials are currently manufactured at our manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, as well as at our collaborators' facilities. We and our collaborators would be unable to manufacture these materials if the relevant facility were to cease production due to regulatory requirements or actions, business interruptions, labor shortages or disputes, contaminations, fire, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, or other problems.
Many of our products and product candidates are very difficult to manufacture. As our products and product candidates are biologics, they require processing steps that are more difficult than those required for most chemical pharmaceuticals. Accordingly, multiple steps are needed to control the manufacturing processes. Problems with these manufacturing processes, even minor deviations from the normal process or from the materials used in the manufacturing process (which may not be detectable by us or our collaborators in a timely manner), could lead to product defects or manufacturing failures, resulting in lot failures, product recalls, product liability claims, and insufficient inventory. Also, the complexity of our manufacturing process may make it difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to transfer our technology to our collaborators or contract manufacturers.

Also, certain raw materials or other products necessary for the manufacture and formulation of our marketed products and product candidates, some of which are difficult to source, are provided by single-source unaffiliated third-party suppliers. In addition, we rely on certain third parties or our collaborators to perform filling, finishing, distribution, laboratory testing, and other services related to the manufacture of our marketed products and product candidates, and to supply various raw materials and other products. We would be unable to obtain these raw materials, other products, or services for an indeterminate period of time if any of these third parties were to cease or interrupt production or otherwise fail to supply these materials, products, or services to us for any reason, including due to regulatory requirements or actions (including recalls), adverse financial developments at or affecting the supplier, failure by the supplier to comply with cGMPs, contaminations, business interruptions, or labor shortages or disputes (in each case, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic). In any such circumstances, we may not be able to engage a backup or alternative supplier or service provider in a timely manner or at all. This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our or our collaborators' ability to manufacture or supply marketed products and product candidates, which could materially and adversely affect our business and future prospects.
Certain of the raw materials required in the manufacture and testing of our products and product candidates may be derived from biological sources, including mammalian tissues, bovine serum, and human serum albumin. There are certain regulatory restrictions on using these biological source materials. If we or our collaborators are required to substitute for these sources to comply with such regulatory requirements, our clinical development or commercial activities may be delayed or interrupted.
Our or our collaborators' failure to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates could result in incurring substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if regulatory approval is obtained, and a reduction in sales.
We and our collaborators and other third-party providers are required to maintain compliance with cGMPs, and are subject to inspections by the FDA or comparable agencies in other jurisdictions to confirm such compliance. Changes of suppliers or modifications of methods of manufacturing may require amending our application(s) to the FDA or such comparable foreign agencies and acceptance of the change by the FDA or such comparable foreign agencies prior to release of product(s). Because we produce multiple products and product candidates at our facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, there are increased risks associated with cGMP compliance. Our inability, or the inability of our collaborators and third-party fill/finish or other service providers, to demonstrate ongoing cGMP compliance could require us to engage in lengthy and expensive remediation efforts, withdraw or recall product, halt or interrupt clinical trials, and/or interrupt commercial supply of any marketed products, and could also delay or prevent our obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products. Any delay, interruption, or other issue that arises in the manufacture, fill/finish, packaging, or storage of any drug product or product candidate as a result of a failure of our facilities or the facilities or operations of our collaborators or other third parties to pass any regulatory agency inspection or maintain cGMP compliance could significantly impair our ability to develop, obtain approval for, and successfully commercialize our products, which would substantially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Any finding of non-compliance could also increase our costs, cause us to delay the development of our product candidates, result in delay in our obtaining, or our not obtaining, regulatory approval of product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, and cause us to lose revenue from any marketed products, which could be seriously detrimental to our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Other Regulatory and Litigation Risks
If the testing or use of our products harms people, or is perceived to harm them even when such harm is unrelated to our products, we could be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims.
The testing, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of drugs for use in people expose us to product liability risk. Any informed consent or waivers obtained from people who enroll in our clinical trials may not protect us from liability or the cost of litigation. We may also be subject to claims by patients who use our approved products, or our product candidates if those product candidates receive regulatory approval and become commercially available, that they have been injured by a side effect associated with the drug. Even in a circumstance in which we do not believe that an adverse event is related to our products or product candidates, the related investigation may be time consuming or inconclusive and may have a negative impact on our reputation or business. We may face product liability claims and be found responsible even if injury arises from the acts or omissions of third parties who provide fill/finish or other services. To the extent we maintain product liability insurance in relevant periods, such insurance may not cover all potential liabilities or may not completely cover any liability arising from any such litigation. Moreover, in the future we may not have access to liability insurance or be able to maintain our insurance on acceptable terms.

Our business activities have been, and may in the future be, challenged under federal or state healthcare laws, which may subject us to civil or criminal proceedings, investigations, or penalties.
The FDA regulates the marketing and promotion of our products, which must comply with the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applicable FDA implementing standards. The FDA's review of promotional activities includes healthcare provider-directed and direct-to-consumer advertising as well as sales representatives' communications. The FDA may take enforcement action for promoting unapproved uses of a product or other violations of its advertising laws and regulations.
In addition to FDA and related regulatory requirements, we are subject to health care "fraud and abuse" laws, such as the federal False Claims Act, the anti-kickback provisions of the federal Social Security Act, and other state and federal laws and regulations. Federal and state anti-kickback laws prohibit, among other things, payments or other remuneration to induce or reward someone to purchase, prescribe, endorse, or recommend a product that is reimbursed under federal or state healthcare programs. If we provide payments or other remuneration to a healthcare professional to induce the prescribing of our products, we could face liability under state and federal anti-kickback laws. Recently, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 increased the criminal and civil penalties that can be imposed for violating certain federal health care laws, including the federal anti-kickback statute.
Federal false claims laws prohibit any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim for payment to the federal government, or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement to get a false claim paid. Pharmaceutical companies have been prosecuted under these laws for a variety of alleged promotional and marketing activities, such as allegedly providing free product to customers with the expectation that the customers would bill federal programs for the product; reporting to pricing services inflated average wholesale prices that were then used by federal programs to set reimbursement rates; engaging in promotion for uses that the FDA has not approved, known as off-label uses, that caused claims to be submitted to Medicaid for non-covered off-label uses; and submitting inflated best price information to the Medicaid Rebate program. The majority of states also have statutes or regulations similar to the federal anti-kickback law and false claims laws, which apply to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the payor. Sanctions under these federal and state laws may include civil monetary penalties, exclusion of a manufacturer's products from reimbursement under government programs, criminal fines, and imprisonment. Even if it is determined that we have not violated these laws, government investigations into these issues typically require the expenditure of significant resources and generate negative publicity, which would harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the safe harbors, it is possible that some of our business activities could be challenged under one or more of such laws. As described further in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, we are party to a civil complaint filed in June 2020 by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts concerning our support of 501(c)(3) organizations that provide financial assistance to patients; and we are cooperating with a pending government investigation concerning certain other business activities. Any adverse decision, finding, allegation, or exercise of enforcement or regulatory discretion in any such proceedings or investigations could harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
As part of the PPACA, the federal government requires that pharmaceutical manufacturers record any "transfers of value" made to U.S. prescribers and certain other healthcare providers and teaching hospitals. Information provided by companies is aggregated and posted annually on an "Open Payments" website, which is managed by CMS, the agency responsible for implementing these disclosure requirements. We continue to dedicate significant resources to comply with these requirements and need to be prepared to comply with additional reporting obligations outside of the United States that may apply in the future. The PPACA also includes various provisions designed to strengthen fraud-and-abuse enforcement, such as increased funding for enforcement efforts and the lowering of the intent requirement of the federal anti-kickback statute and criminal health care fraud statute such that a person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, several states have legislation requiring pharmaceutical companies to establish marketing compliance programs, file periodic reports with the state, or make periodic public disclosures on sales, marketing, pricing, clinical trials, and other activities. Many of these requirements and standards are new or uncertain, and the penalties for failure to comply with these requirements may be unclear. If we are found not to be in full compliance with these laws, we could face enforcement actions, fines, and other penalties, and could receive adverse publicity, which would harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Additionally, access to such data by fraud-and-abuse investigators and industry critics may draw scrutiny to our collaborations with reported entities.

Risks from the improper conduct of employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators could adversely affect our reputation and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We cannot ensure that our compliance controls, policies, and procedures will in every instance protect us from acts committed by our employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators that would violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including, without limitation, healthcare, employment, foreign corrupt practices, trade restrictions and sanctions, environmental, competition, and privacy laws and regulations. Such improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations, and monetary and injunctive penalties, and could adversely impact our ability to conduct business, operating results, and reputation.
In particular, our business activities outside of the United States are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and similar anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which we operate, including the U.K. Bribery Act. The FCPA generally prohibits offering, promising, giving, or authorizing others to give anything of value, either directly or indirectly, to a non-U.S. government official in order to influence official action, or otherwise obtain or retain business. The FCPA also requires public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the corporation and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Our business is heavily regulated and therefore involves significant interaction with public officials, including officials of non-U.S. governments. Additionally, in many other countries, the health care providers who prescribe pharmaceuticals are employed by their government, and the purchasers of pharmaceuticals are government entities; therefore, our dealings with these prescribers and purchasers are subject to regulation under the FCPA. Recently the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and Department of Justice have increased their FCPA enforcement activities with respect to pharmaceutical companies. There is no certainty that all of our employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators, or those of our affiliates, will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, particularly given the high level of complexity of these laws. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, requirements to obtain export licenses, cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries, implementation of compliance programs, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our ability to expand internationally, our ability to attract and retain employees, and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Our operations are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the use of hazardous materials. Compliance with these laws and regulations is costly, and we may incur substantial liability arising from our activities involving the use of hazardous materials.
As a fully integrated biotechnology company with significant research and development and manufacturing operations, we are subject to extensive environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the use of hazardous materials. Our research and development and manufacturing activities involve the controlled use of chemicals, infectious agents (such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi), radioactive compounds, and other hazardous materials. The cost of compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations is substantial. If an accident involving these materials or an environmental discharge were to occur, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, or face regulatory actions, which could exceed our resources or insurance coverage.
Our business is subject to increasingly complex corporate governance, public disclosure, and accounting requirements and regulations that could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We are subject to changing rules and regulations of various federal and state governmental authorities as well as the stock exchange on which our Common Stock is listed. These entities, including the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, have issued a significant number of new and increasingly complex requirements and regulations over the course of the last several years and continue to develop additional requirements and regulations in response to laws enacted by Congress, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation-related provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that expressly authorized or required the SEC to adopt additional rules in these areas, a number of which have yet to be fully implemented. Our efforts to comply with these requirements and regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, an increase in expenses and a diversion of management's time from other business activities.
Changes in laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business.
All aspects of our business, including research and development, manufacturing, marketing, pricing, sales, intellectual property rights, and the framework for dispute resolution and asserting our rights against others, are subject to extensive legislation and regulation. Changes in applicable federal and state laws and agency regulations could have a materially negative impact on our business. These include:
74


Table of Contents
changes in the FDA and foreign regulatory processes for new therapeutics that may delay or prevent the approval of any of our current or future product candidates;
new laws, regulations, or judicial decisions related to healthcare availability or the payment for healthcare products and services, including prescription drugs, that would make it more difficult for us to market and sell products once they are approved by the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies;
changes in FDA and foreign regulations that may require additional safety monitoring prior to or after the introduction of new products to market, which could materially increase our costs of doing business; and
changes in FDA and foreign cGMPs that may make it more difficult and costly for us to maintain regulatory compliance and/or manufacture our marketed product and product candidates in accordance with cGMPs.
As described above, the PPACA and potential regulations thereunder easing the entry of competing follow-on biologics into the marketplace, other new legislation or implementation of existing statutory provisions on importation of lower-cost competing drugs from other jurisdictions, and legislation on comparative effectiveness research are examples of previously enacted and possible future changes in laws that could adversely affect our business.
The U.S. government could carry out significant changes in legislation, regulation, and government policy (including with respect to the possible repeal of all or portions of the PPACA, government reimbursement changes and drug price control measures, and changes in the existing treaty and trade relationships with other countries), as evidenced by statements and actions of President Trump and certain members of Congress (including those discussed above under "Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - Sales of our marketed products are dependent on the availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party payors, and changes to such reimbursement may materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition"). While it is not possible to predict whether and when any such changes will occur, changes in the laws, regulations, and policies governing the development and approval of our product candidates and the commercialization, importation, and reimbursement of our products could adversely affect our business. In addition, our development and commercialization activities could be harmed or delayed by a shutdown of the U.S. government, including the FDA. For example, a prolonged shutdown may significantly delay the FDA's ability to timely review and process any submissions we have filed or may file or cause other regulatory delays, which could materially and adversely affect our business.
Risks associated with our operations outside of the United States could adversely affect our business.
We have operations and conduct business outside the United States and we plan to expand these activities. Consequently, we are, and will continue to be, subject to risks related to operating in foreign countries, which include:
unfamiliar foreign laws or regulatory requirements or unexpected changes to those laws or requirements;
other laws and regulatory requirements to which our business activities abroad are subject, such as the FCPA and the U.K. Bribery Act (discussed in greater detail above under "Risks from the improper conduct of employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators could adversely affect our reputation and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition");
changes in the political or economic condition of a specific country or region;
fluctuations in the value of foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar;
tariffs, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, trade embargoes, and sanctions (including those administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury), and other trade barriers;
difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified personnel; and
cultural differences in the conduct of business.
For example, effective January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom commenced an exit from the EU, commonly referred to as "Brexit." During a transition period (set to expire on December 31, 2020), the British government will continue to negotiate the terms of the United Kingdom's future relationship with the EU. The outcome of these negotiations is uncertain, and we do not know to what extent Brexit will ultimately impact the business and regulatory environment in the United Kingdom, the rest of the EU, or other countries. We have large-scale manufacturing operations in Limerick, Ireland and have also established an office in the vicinity of London. Changes impacting our ability to conduct business in the United Kingdom or other EU countries, or changes to the regulatory regime applicable to our operations in those countries (such as with respect to the approval of our product candidates), may materially and adversely impact our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.

We may incur additional tax liabilities related to our operations.
We are subject to income tax in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide tax liabilities, and our effective tax rate is derived from a combination of the applicable statutory rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We record liabilities that involve significant management judgment for uncertain tax positions. The Internal Revenue Service or other domestic or foreign taxing authorities may disagree with our interpretation of tax law as applied to the operations of Regeneron and its subsidiaries or with the positions we may take with respect to particular tax issues on our tax returns. Consequently, our reported effective tax rate and our after-tax cash flows may be materially and adversely affected by tax assessments or judgments in excess of accrued amounts we have estimated in preparing our financial statements. Further, our effective tax rate may also be adversely affected by numerous other factors, including changes in the mix of our profitability from country to country, changes in tax laws and regulations, and tax effects of the accounting for stock-based compensation (which depend in part on the price of our stock and, therefore, are beyond our control). Recommendations by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the European Union Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive require companies to disclose more information to tax authorities on operations around the world, which may lead to greater audit scrutiny. Even though we regularly assess the information provided to tax authorities in determining the appropriateness of our tax reserves, such tax authorities could take a position that is contrary to our expectations, and the result could adversely affect our provision for income tax and our current rate.
We face potential liability related to the personal information we collect from individuals, data brokers, or research institutions or obtain from clinical trials sponsored by us or our collaborators.
Most U.S. health care providers, including research institutions from which we or our collaborators obtain patient health information, are subject to privacy and security regulations promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act. For example, as part of our human genetics initiative, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Regeneron Genetics Center LLC, has entered into collaborations with research institutions, including the Geisinger Health System, which are subject to such regulations. Regeneron is not currently classified as a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA and thus is not subject to its requirements or penalties. However, we could be prosecuted under HIPAA's criminal provisions either directly or under aiding-and-abetting or conspiracy principles. Consequently, depending on the facts and circumstances, we could face substantial criminal penalties if we knowingly receive individually identifiable health information from a HIPAA-covered health care provider or research institution that has not satisfied HIPAA's requirements for disclosure of individually identifiable health information. There are instances where we collect and maintain sensitive personally identifiable information, which may include health information outside of the scope of HIPAA. This information may be received throughout the clinical trial process, in the course of our research collaborations, directly from individuals who enroll in our patient assistance programs, and from our own employees in a pandemic response process (such as in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic). In the case of a breach of personal information we may be subject to state breach notification laws requiring notification of affected individuals and state regulators.
Our patient assistance programs and product marketing activities as part of which we collect California resident personal data are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the "CCPA"). The CCPA is a consumer protection law that provides California residents with personal data privacy rights and became effective on January 1, 2020. The CCPA requires us, among other things, to update our notices and develop new processes internally and with our partners. There are fines, penalties, and a private right of action resulting from non-compliance with the CCPA. Several other U.S. states have introduced similar consumer protection laws that may go into effect in the near future.
Our clinical trial programs and research collaborations outside the U.S. (such as our consortium with a group of companies to fund the generation of genetic exome sequence data from the UK Biobank health resource) implicate international data protection laws, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"). The GDPR has created a range of new compliance obligations, including increased transparency requirements and new data subject rights. Violations of the GDPR carry significant financial penalties for noncompliance (including possible fines of up to 4% of global annual turnover for the preceding financial year or €20 million (whichever is higher)). In addition to the GDPR, certain EU Member States have issued or will be issuing their own implementation legislation. While we continue to monitor these developments, there remains some uncertainty surrounding the legal and regulatory environment for these evolving privacy and data protection laws. Complying with varying jurisdictional requirements could increase the costs and complexity of compliance, including the risk of substantial financial penalties for insufficient notice and consent, failure to respond to data subject rights requests, lack of a legal basis for the transfer of personal information out of the EU, or improper processing of personal data under the GDPR. Failure by our collaborators to comply with the strict rules on the transfer of personal data outside of the EU into the U.S. may result in the imposition of criminal and administrative sanctions on such collaborators, which could adversely affect our business and could create liability for us.
76


Table of Contents
Furthermore, health privacy laws, data breach notification laws, consumer protection laws, data localization laws, and genetic testing laws may apply directly to our operations and/or those of our collaborators and may impose restrictions on our collection, use, and dissemination of individuals' health and other personal information. Moreover, individuals about whom we or our collaborators obtain health or other personal information, as well as the providers and third parties who share this information with us, may have statutory or contractual limits that impact our ability to use and disclose the information. We are likely to be required to expend significant capital and other resources to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable privacy and data security laws both inside and outside the United States. Claims that we have violated individuals' privacy rights or breached our contractual obligations, even if we are not found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm our business.
If we or any collaborators fail to comply with applicable federal, state, local, or foreign regulatory requirements, we could be subject to a range of regulatory actions that could affect our or any collaborators' ability to commercialize our products and could harm, prevent, or substantially increase the cost of marketing and sales of any affected products that we are able to commercialize. Any threatened or actual government enforcement action could also generate adverse publicity and require that we devote substantial resources that could otherwise be used in other aspects of our business.
Increasing use of social media could give rise to liability, breaches of data security, or reputational damage.
We and our employees are increasingly utilizing social media tools as a means of communication both internally and externally. Despite our efforts to monitor evolving social media communication guidelines and comply with applicable rules, there is a risk that the use of social media by us or our employees to communicate about our products or business may cause us to be found in violation of applicable requirements. In addition, our employees may knowingly or inadvertently make use of social media in ways that may not comply with our social media policy or other legal or contractual requirements, which may give rise to liability, lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, or result in public exposure of personal information of our employees, clinical trial patients, customers, and others. Furthermore, negative posts or comments about us or our products in social media could seriously damage our reputation, brand image, and goodwill. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.
Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties
If our Antibody Collaboration or our IO Collaboration with Sanofi is terminated, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize certain of our products and product candidates in the time expected, or at all, would be materially harmed.
We rely on funding and support from Sanofi to develop, manufacture, and commercialize certain of our products and product candidates. With respect to the products that we are co-developing with Sanofi under our Antibody Collaboration (currently consisting of Dupixent, Kevzara, and itepekimab), Sanofi funds a significant portion of development expenses incurred in connection with the development of these products. In addition, we rely on Sanofi to lead much of the clinical development efforts, assist with or lead efforts to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, and lead the commercialization efforts for these products and product candidates.
We are developing MUC16xCD3 Program antibodies (such as REGN4018) and BCMAxCD3 Program antibodies (such as REGN5458 and REGN5459) under the amended and restated IO Discovery and Development Agreement with Sanofi and Sanofi has the right to elect to co-develop these antibodies under our IO Collaboration. If Sanofi does not elect to co-develop MUC16xCD3 Program antibodies or BCMAxCD3 Program antibodies under our IO Collaboration, or opts out of their development under our IO Collaboration, we will be required to fund and conduct on our own all such efforts to support those product candidates, unless we enter into arrangements with other parties.
If Sanofi elects to co-develop BCMAxCD3 Program antibodies and/or MUC16xCD3 Program antibodies under our IO Collaboration, Sanofi will initially fund the development expenses incurred in connection with the development of BCMAxCD3 Program antibodies, for which Sanofi will be the principal controlling party, and half of the development expenses incurred in connection with the clinical development of MUC16xCD3 Program antibodies, for which we will be the principal controlling party. Under our IO Collaboration, Sanofi also funds half of the development expenses incurred in connection with the clinical development of Libtayo, subject to an agreed-upon development budget. In addition, if Sanofi elects to co-develop BCMAxCD3 Program antibodies, Sanofi will lead much of the clinical development efforts and assist with obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval. We also rely on Sanofi to lead commercialization efforts outside the United States for Libtayo. Following regulatory approval, we will rely on Sanofi to lead (i) the commercialization efforts in the United States for BCMAxCD3 Program antibodies and (ii) the commercialization efforts outside the United States for MUC16xCD3 Program antibodies and BCMAxCD3 Program antibodies.

If Sanofi terminates the Antibody Collaboration or the IO Collaboration or fails to comply with its payment obligations under any of our collaborations, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed. We would be required to either expend substantially more resources than we have anticipated to support our research and development efforts, which could require us to seek additional funding that might not be available on favorable terms or at all, or materially cut back on such activities. If Sanofi does not perform its obligations with respect to the product candidates that it elects to co-develop, our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize these product candidates will be significantly adversely affected. We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities for products commercialized under our Antibody Collaboration or our IO Collaboration (see also "Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - If we are unable to establish commercial capabilities outside the United States for products we intend to commercialize or co-commercialize outside the United States, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected" above). Termination of the Antibody Collaboration or the IO Collaboration would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful development and commercialization of the products subject to such collaborations, particularly outside the United States.
If our collaboration with Bayer for EYLEA is terminated, or Bayer materially breaches its obligations thereunder, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and our ability to continue to commercialize EYLEA outside the United States would be materially harmed.
We rely heavily on Bayer with respect to the commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States. Bayer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval outside the United States, as well as providing all sales, marketing, and commercial support for the product outside the United States. In particular, Bayer has responsibility for selling EYLEA outside the United States using its sales force and, in Japan, in cooperation with Santen pursuant to a Co-Promotion and Distribution Agreement, as in effect from time to time, with Bayer's Japanese affiliate. If Bayer and, in Japan, Santen do not perform their obligations in a timely manner, or at all, our ability to commercialize EYLEA outside the United States will be significantly adversely affected. Bayer has the right to terminate its collaboration agreement with us at any time upon six or twelve months' advance notice, depending on the circumstances giving rise to termination. If Bayer were to terminate its collaboration agreement with us, we may not have the resources or skills to replace those of our collaborator, which could require us to seek another collaboration that might not be available on favorable terms or at all, and could cause significant issues for the commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States and result in substantial additional costs and/or lower revenues to us. We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities (see also "Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - If we are unable to establish commercial capabilities outside the United States for products we intend to commercialize or co-commercialize outside the United States, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected" above). Termination of the Bayer collaboration agreement would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States.
Our collaborators and service providers may fail to perform adequately in their efforts to support the development, manufacture, and commercialization of our drug candidates and current and future products.
We depend upon third-party collaborators, including Sanofi and Bayer, and service providers such as CROs, outside testing laboratories, clinical investigator sites, third-party manufacturers, fill/finish providers, and product packagers and labelers, to assist us in the manufacture and preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates. We also depend, or will depend, on some of these third parties in connection with the commercialization of our marketed products and our product candidates and new indications for our marketed products if they are approved for marketing. If any of our existing collaborators or service providers breaches or terminates its agreement with us or does not perform its development or manufacturing services under an agreement in a timely manner (including as a result of its inability to perform due to financial or other relevant constraints) or in compliance with applicable GMPs, GLPs, or GCP standards, we could experience additional costs, delays, and difficulties in the manufacture or development of, or in obtaining approval by regulatory authorities for, or successfully commercializing our product candidates.
We and our collaborators rely on third-party service providers to support the distribution of our marketed products and for many other related activities in connection with the commercialization of these marketed products. Despite our or our collaborators' arrangements with them, these third parties may not perform adequately. If these service providers do not perform their services adequately, sales of our marketed products will suffer.

Risk Related to Employees
We are dependent on our key personnel and if we cannot recruit and retain leaders in our research, development, manufacturing, and commercial organizations, our business will be harmed.
We are highly dependent on certain of our executive officers, other key members of our senior management team, and our Chairman. If we are not able to retain (or for any other reason lose the services of) any of these persons, our business may suffer. In particular, we depend on the services of P. Roy Vagelos, M.D., the Chairman of our board of directors; Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer; and George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., our President and Chief Scientific Officer. We are also highly dependent on the expertise and services of other senior management members leading our research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization efforts. There is intense competition in the biotechnology industry for qualified scientists and managerial personnel in the research, development, manufacture, and commercialization of drugs. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary to continue to advance our business and achieve our strategic objectives.
Information Technology Risks
Significant disruptions of information technology systems or breaches of data security could adversely affect our business.
Our business is increasingly dependent on critical, complex, and interdependent information technology systems, including Internet-based systems, to support business processes as well as internal and external communications. These systems are also critical to enable remote working arrangements, which have been growing in importance due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic and our implementation of work-from-home policies for a significant part of our employees. The size and complexity of our computer systems make us potentially vulnerable to IT system breakdowns, internal and external malicious intrusion, and computer viruses and ransomware, which may impact product production and key business processes. We also have outsourced significant elements of our information technology infrastructure and operations to third parties, which may allow them to access our confidential information and may also make our systems vulnerable to service interruptions or to security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by such third parties or others.
In addition, our systems are potentially vulnerable to data security breaches - whether by employees or others - which may expose sensitive data to unauthorized persons. Data security breaches could lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, result in demands for ransom or other forms of blackmail, or lead to the public exposure of personal information (including sensitive personal information) of our employees, clinical trial patients, customers, and others. Such attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives (including industrial espionage or extortion) and expertise, including by organized criminal groups, "hacktivists," nation states, and others. As a company with an increasingly global presence, our systems are subject to frequent attacks. Due to the nature of some of these attacks, there is a risk that an attack may remain undetected for a period of time. While we continue to make investments to improve the protection of data and information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches.
Such disruptions and breaches of security could result in legal proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, disruptions to our operations, and damage to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Financial Results, Liquidity, and Need for Additional Financing
If we cannot sustain profitability, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed.
If we cannot sustain profitability, we may be unable to continue our operations. In the absence of substantial revenue from the sale of products on an ongoing basis, including our net product sales of EYLEA and funding we receive under our collaboration agreements (including our share of profits in connection with commercialization of EYLEA and Dupixent under our collaboration agreements with Bayer and Sanofi, respectively), or from other sources, the amount, timing, nature, or source of which cannot be predicted, we may incur substantial losses again as we conduct our research and development activities, commercialize our approved products, and prepare for possible commercialization of our other product candidates and new indications of our marketed products.
79


Table of Contents
We may need additional funding in the future, which may not be available to us, and which may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts.
We expend substantial resources for research and development, including costs associated with clinical testing of our product candidates and new indications of our marketed products, the commercialization of products, and capital expenditures. We believe our existing capital resources and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility, together with funds generated by our current and anticipated EYLEA net product sales and funding we are entitled to receive under our collaboration agreements (including our share of profits in connection with commercialization of EYLEA and Dupixent under our collaboration agreements with Bayer and Sanofi, respectively), will enable us to meet our anticipated operating needs for the foreseeable future. However, one or more of our collaboration agreements may terminate, our revenues may fall short of our projections or be delayed, or our expenses may increase, any of which could result in our capital being consumed significantly faster than anticipated. Our expenses may increase for many reasons, including expenses in connection with the commercialization of our marketed products and the potential commercial launches of our product candidates and new indications for our marketed products, manufacturing scale-up, expenses related to clinical trials testing of antibody-based product candidates we are developing on our own (without a collaborator), and expenses for which we are responsible in accordance with the terms of our collaboration agreements.
We cannot be certain that our existing capital resources and our current and anticipated revenues will be sufficient to meet our operating needs. We may require additional financing in the future and we may not be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms or at all. For example, there is no guarantee that we will have the ability to pay the principal amount due on the Notes at maturity or redeem, repurchase, or refinance the Notes prior to maturity on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, in March 2017, we completed a $720.0 million lease financing for our existing corporate headquarters and other rentable area consisting of approximately 150 acres of predominately office buildings and laboratory space located in Tarrytown, New York, which will become due and payable in full on the five-year anniversary of the closing date unless extended with the consent of all the participants and subject to certain other conditions. Our ability to refinance or to obtain additional financing could be adversely affected if there is a significant decline in the demand for our products or other significantly unfavorable changes in economic conditions. Volatility in the financial markets could increase borrowing costs or affect our ability to raise capital. If additional financing is necessary and we obtain it through the sale of equity securities, such sales will likely be dilutive to our shareholders. Debt financing arrangements may require us to pledge certain assets or enter into covenants that would restrict our business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness and may be at interest rates and contain other terms that are not favorable to our shareholders. Should we require and be unable to raise sufficient funds (i) to complete the development of our product candidates, (ii) to successfully commercialize our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products if they obtain regulatory approval, and (iii) to continue our manufacturing and marketing of our marketed products, we may face delay, reduction, or elimination of our research and development or preclinical or clinical programs and our commercialization activities, which would significantly limit our potential to generate revenue.
Our indebtedness could adversely impact our business.
We have certain indebtedness and contingent liabilities, including milestone and royalty payment obligations. As of September 30, 2020, we had an aggregate of $2.695 billion of outstanding indebtedness under the Notes and the lease financing facility. We may also incur additional debt in the future. Any such indebtedness could:
limit our ability to access capital markets and incur additional debt in the future;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for other purposes, including business development efforts, research and development, and mergers and acquisitions; and
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate, thereby placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Our revenue from outside of the United States will increase as our products, whether marketed or otherwise commercialized by us or our collaborators, gain marketing approval in such jurisdictions. Our primary foreign currency exposure relates to movements in the Japanese yen, euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. If the U.S. dollar weakens against a specific foreign currency, our revenues will increase, having a positive impact on net income, but our overall expenses will increase, having a negative impact. Conversely, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against a specific foreign currency, our revenues will decrease, having a negative impact on net income, but our overall expenses will decrease, having a positive impact. Therefore, significant changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our operating results and the financial condition of our Company.

Our investments are subject to risks and other external factors that may result in losses or affect the liquidity of these investments.
As of September 30, 2020, we had $1.573 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $4.328 billion in marketable securities (including $777.6 million in equity securities). Our investments consist primarily of debt securities, including investment-grade corporate bonds. These fixed-income investments are subject to external factors that may adversely affect their market value or liquidity, such as interest rate, liquidity, market, and issuer credit risks, including actual or anticipated changes in credit ratings. The equity securities we hold may experience significant volatility and may decline in value or become worthless if the issuer experiences an adverse development. Furthermore, our equity investments could be subject to dilution (and decline in value) as a result of the issuance of additional equity interests by the applicable issuer. If any of our investments suffer market price declines, such declines may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
The elimination of LIBOR could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
In July 2017, the United Kingdom regulator that regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021. No consensus exists as to what rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR or whether LIBOR rates will cease to be published or supported before or after 2021. A transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the applicable interest rate may adversely affect our outstanding variable-rate indebtedness and interest rate swaps, as well as floating-rate debt securities we hold. For example, if a published U.S. dollar LIBOR rate is unavailable after 2021, the rent payments for the leased facilities in Tarrytown, New York and interest for borrowings (if any) with an interest rate based on the LIBOR rate under our revolving credit facility, all of which are indexed to LIBOR, will be determined using various alternative methods, any of which may result in interest obligations which are more than, or do not otherwise correlate over time with, the payments that would have been made on such debt if U.S. dollar LIBOR was available in its current form.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our stock price is extremely volatile.
There has been significant volatility in our stock price and generally in the market prices of biotechnology companies' securities. Various factors and events may have a significant impact on the market price of our Common Stock. These factors include, by way of example:
net product sales of our marketed products (as recorded by us or our collaborators), in particular EYLEA, Dupixent, and Libtayo, as well as our overall operating results;
if any of our product candidates or our new indications for our marketed products receive regulatory approval, net product sales of, and profits from, these product candidates and new indications;
market acceptance of, and the market share for, our marketed products, especially EYLEA, Dupixent, and Libtayo;
whether our net product sales and net profits underperform, meet, or exceed the expectations of investors or analysts;
announcement of actions by the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities or their respective advisory committees regarding our, or our collaborators', or our competitors', currently pending or future application(s) for regulatory approval of product candidate(s) or new indications for marketed products;
announcement of submission of an application for regulatory approval of one or more of our, or our competitors', product candidates or new indications for marketed products;
progress, delays, or results in clinical trials of our or our competitors' product candidates or new indications for marketed products;
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
announcement of technological innovations or product candidates by us or competitors;
claims by others that our products or technologies infringe their patents;
challenges by others to our patents in the EPO and in the USPTO;
public concern as to the safety or effectiveness of any of our marketed products or product candidates or new indications for our marketed products;
pricing or reimbursement actions, decisions, or recommendations by government authorities, insurers, or other organizations (such as health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit management companies) affecting the coverage, reimbursement, or use of any of our marketed products or competitors' products;
our ability to raise additional capital as needed on favorable terms;
developments in our relationships with collaborators or key customers;
developments in the biotechnology industry or in government regulation of healthcare, including those relating to compounding (i.e., a practice in which a pharmacist, a physician, or, in the case of an outsourcing facility, a person under the supervision of a pharmacist, combines, mixes, or alters ingredients of a drug to create a medication tailored to the needs of an individual patient);
large sales of our Common Stock by our executive officers or other employees, directors, or significant shareholders (or the expectation of any such sales);
changes in tax rates, laws, or interpretation of tax laws;
arrivals and departures of key personnel;
general market conditions;
our ability to repurchase our Common Stock under any share repurchase program on favorable terms or at all;
trading activity that results from the rebalancing of stock indices in which our Common Stock is included, or the inclusion or exclusion of our Common Stock from such indices;
other factors identified in these "Risk Factors"; and
the perception by the investment community or our shareholders of any of the foregoing factors.

The trading price of our Common Stock has been, and could continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations in response to these and other factors, including the sale or attempted sale of a large amount of our Common Stock in the market. As discussed in greater detail under "Future sales of our Common Stock by our significant shareholders or us may depress our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new share offerings" below, a large percentage of our Common Stock is owned by a small number of our principal shareholders. As a result, the public float of our Common Stock (i.e., the portion of our Common Stock held by public investors, as opposed to the Common Stock held by our directors, officers, and principal shareholders) may be lower than the public float of other large public companies with broader public ownership. Therefore, the trading price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. These factors may exacerbate the volatility in the trading price of our Common Stock and may negatively impact your ability to liquidate your investment in Regeneron at the time you wish at a price you consider satisfactory. Broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and
82


Table of Contents
resources, and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation, which may harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Future sales of our Common Stock by our significant shareholders or us may depress our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new share offerings.
A small number of our shareholders beneficially own a substantial amount of our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2020, our five largest shareholders plus Dr. Schleifer, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 39.0% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming, in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, the conversion of his Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by him which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2020. If our significant shareholders or we sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or there is a perception that such sales may occur, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of Common Stock by our significant shareholders also might make it more difficult for us to raise funds by selling equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
There can be no assurance that we will continue to repurchase shares of our Common Stock or that we will repurchase shares at favorable prices.
Our board of directors previously authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our Common Stock (of which $372.7 million remained available as of September 30, 2020). Any share repurchases will depend upon, among other factors, our cash balances and potential future capital requirements, our results of operations and financial condition, the price of our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and other factors that we may deem relevant. We can provide no assurance that we will continue to repurchase shares of our Common Stock at favorable prices, if at all.
Our existing shareholders may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval and over our management.
Holders of Class A Stock, who are generally the shareholders who purchased their stock from us before our initial public offering, are entitled to ten votes per share, while holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. As of September 30, 2020, holders of Class A Stock held 15.0% of the combined voting power of all shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock then outstanding. These shareholders, if acting together, would be in a position to significantly influence the election of our directors and the vote on certain corporate transactions that require majority or supermajority approval of the combined classes, including mergers and other business combinations. This may result in our taking corporate actions that other shareholders may not consider to be in their best interest and may affect the price of our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2020:
our current executive officers and directors beneficially owned 8.5% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming conversion of their Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by such persons which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2020, and 19.8% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock, assuming the exercise of all options held by such persons which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2020; and
our five largest shareholders plus Dr. Schleifer, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 39.0% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming, in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, the conversion of his Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by him which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2020. In addition, these five shareholders plus our Chief Executive Officer held approximately 46.2% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock, assuming the exercise of all options held by our Chief Executive Officer which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2020.
The anti-takeover effects of provisions of our charter, by-laws, and of New York corporate law, as well as the contractual provisions in our investor and collaboration agreements and certain provisions of our compensation plans and agreements, could deter, delay, or prevent an acquisition or other "change of control" of us and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.
Our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws, and the New York Business Corporation Law contain various provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company or our management that shareholders may consider favorable or beneficial. Some of these provisions could discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock. These provisions include:
83


Table of Contents
authorization to issue "blank check" preferred stock, which is preferred stock that can be created and issued by the board of directors without prior shareholder approval, with rights senior to those of our Common Stock and Class A Stock;
a staggered board of directors, so that it would take three successive annual shareholder meetings to replace all of our directors;
a requirement that removal of directors may only be effected for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for directors, as well as a requirement that any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors;
a provision whereby any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, only if, prior to such action, all of our shareholders consent, the effect of which is to require that shareholder action may only be taken at a duly convened meeting;
a requirement that any shareholder seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of shareholders must provide timely notice of this intention in writing and meet various other requirements; and
under the New York Business Corporation Law, in addition to certain restrictions which may apply to "business combinations" involving our Company and an "interested shareholder," a plan of merger or consolidation of our Company must be approved by two-thirds of the votes of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. See the risk factor above captioned "Our existing shareholders may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval and over our management."
Pursuant to the January 2014 amended and restated investor agreement between us and Sanofi, as amended, Sanofi is bound by certain "standstill" provisions, which contractually prohibit Sanofi from seeking to directly or indirectly exert control of our Company or acquiring more than 30% of our Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together). This prohibition will remain in place until the earliest of (i) the later of the fifth anniversaries of the expiration or earlier termination of our License and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi relating to our Antibody Collaboration or our ZALTRAP collaboration agreement with Sanofi, each as amended; (ii) our announcement recommending acceptance by our shareholders of a tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would constitute a change of control involving us; (iii) the public announcement of any definitive agreement providing for a change of control involving us; (iv) the date of any issuance of shares of Common Stock by us that would result in another party having more than 10% of the voting power of our outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together) unless such party enters into a standstill agreement containing certain terms substantially similar to the standstill obligations of Sanofi; or (v) other specified events, such as a liquidation or dissolution of our Company.
Similarly, pursuant to our 2016 ANG2 license and collaboration agreement with Bayer (which was terminated on November 1, 2018 by agreement of the parties but whose "standstill" provisions continue to be in effect as described below), Bayer is bound by certain "standstill" provisions, which contractually prohibit Bayer from seeking to influence the control of our Company or acquiring more than 20% of our outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together). This prohibition will remain in place until the earliest of (i) November 1, 2023; (ii) the public announcement of a tender offer, exchange offer, or other proposal that would constitute a change of control of our Company; (iii) the acquisition by a third party or a group of third parties (other than by Dr. Schleifer or his affiliates) of more than 20% of the voting power of our outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together); (iv) the issuance of shares of capital stock to another party (other than to an underwriter in a public offering) that would result in such party's having more than 7% of the voting power of our outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together) unless such third party enters into a standstill agreement containing terms substantially similar to the standstill obligations of Bayer; or (v) other specified events, such as a liquidation or dissolution of our Company. A similar "standstill" prohibition applies to Bayer pursuant to our 2014 PDGFR-beta license and collaboration agreement with Bayer (which agreement was terminated on July 31, 2017 by agreement of the parties but whose "standstill" provisions continue to be in effect until July 31, 2022 unless they expire earlier upon the occurrence of certain specified events).
Further, pursuant to the 2016 collaboration agreement between us and Teva, Teva and its affiliates are bound by certain "standstill" provisions, which contractually prohibit them from seeking to directly or indirectly exert control of our Company or acquiring more than 5% of our Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together). This prohibition will remain in place until the earliest of (i) the fifth anniversary of the expiration or earlier termination of the agreement; (ii) our announcement recommending acceptance by our shareholders of a tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would constitute a change of control involving us; (iii) the public announcement of any definitive agreement providing for a change of control involving us; (iv) the acquisition by a third party or a group of third parties of more than 30% of the voting power of our outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together); (v) the date of any issuance of shares of capital stock by us that would result in another party having more than 10% of the voting power of our outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together) unless such party enters into a standstill agreement containing certain terms substantially similar to the standstill obligations of Teva; or (vi) other specified events, such as a liquidation or dissolution of our Company.
In addition, our Change in Control Severance Plan and the employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, each as amended and restated, provide for severance benefits in the event of termination as a result of a change in control of our
84


Table of Contents
Company. Also, equity awards issued under our long-term incentive plans may become fully vested in connection with a "change in control" of our Company, as defined in the plans. These contractual provisions may also have the effect of deterring, delaying, or preventing an acquisition or other change in control.

Page 10 of 51    

proprietary information in the white paper it shall be identified and marked in accordance with the terms for protection of information under Article VIII. Confidential Information.


Section 1.03 Scope

The Government in conjunction with the MCDC member entities shall perform a coordinated research and development program designed to support the DoD’s medical, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic requirements as related to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel. The mission of JPM-MCS is to provide the
U.S. military forces and the nation safe, effective, and innovative medical solutions to counter Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) threats. Under the OTA and associated Project Agreements, the Government along with the Consortium member entities, shall perform coordinated planning and research and development prototype efforts in support of the JPM-MCS mission through the development of products in three (3) major Medical Countermeasure Systems (MCS) objective areas:

Detection: Systems and devices to identify CBRN agents and assist in making medical decisions
Prevention: Prophylaxis, pretreatment, and post-exposure prophylaxis
Treatment: Therapeutics (post-exposure, post-symptomatic)

The Government will determine which endeavors to pursue and projects to fund. At any time throughout the term of the OTA, the Government may address the needs for the desired MCS objective areas or other related Government needs as they arise. The MCDC and the Government agree that other organizations and agencies within the U.S. Government may participate in the collaborative activities through a Memorandum of Agreement or other such arrangement. It is anticipated that these other organizations may include JPEO-CBD and DTRA.

Request for Prototype Proposal (RPP) Process:

Once the Government identifies a need under one of the MCS objective areas above, the Government will issue a Request for Prototype Proposal (RPP). The RPP will include a Request for White Papers (RWP) and/or a Request for Prototype Proposal (RPP) to the Consortium Management Firm (CMF). Due dates will be indicated for each. The CMF shall in turn issue a similar request to MCDC’s member entities, for which the Government will review and evaluate all responses. The Government will be solely responsible for evaluation of the white papers and/or proposal submissions, as applicable. If the RPP includes a RWP, only members submitting white papers will be permitted to submit full proposal submissions. Based on the evaluation of the white papers, the Government will make a recommendation on whether the member should or should not submit a full proposal submission. Any member submitting a white paper, regardless of the Government’s recommendation, may submit a proposal.

MCDC member white papers and proposals shall be submitted to the CMF in accordance with the RPP instructions which will include evaluation criteria and a Statement of Work (SOW) template on the due date indicated in the RPP. The CMF will review white paper and proposal submissions for completeness and format compliance. The CMF shall in turn prepare and transmit MCDC’s member’s white papers and proposals to the Government for evaluation. The Government will be responsible for technical evaluation and selection of the projects from the proposals submitted. The CMF will assess the reasonableness and completeness of the cost estimates and then provide a formal assessment to the Government. The Government Agreement Officer will review this assessment and make the final determination regarding whether the negotiated project cost is fair and reasonable. All Project Agreements will be subject to discussions/negotiations and proposal updates, as appropriate, prior to execution.

Once all steps are complete, the Government will issue a Technical Direction Letter (TDL) to the CMF for the authorization and execution of the selected project to be performed by the selected MCDC’s member entity(ies). Once the CMF receives notification of selection of a project for funding via TDL, the CMF will enter into a Project Agreement with the MCDC member.

A modification will be included with the TDL, which will include the funding for the negotiated and agreed-upon project. After receipt of the TDL and review and execution of the funding modification, the CMF shall enter into a Project Agreement (PA) with MCDC member whose project was selected. MCDC CMF shall administer the
    



Page 11 of 51    

Government-funded Project Agreements. The Government's designated Agreements Officer Representative (AOR) for the specific project will supervise the technical work performed by MCDC’s member entity in execution of the
PA. The Government reserves the right to revise the terms and conditions of these projects in accordance with Article III, Section 3.04.

Placement in the Electronic “Basket File”:

Qualifying proposals, not eligible for current funding, may be entered into an electronic basket and subject to award for up to thirty-six (36) months. The RPP will contain the available ratings and their definitions to be assigned to proposals as a result of the technical evaluation as well as which specific ratings will qualify a proposal for inclusion in the Basket. The Government reserves the right to determine which, if any, proposals are to be selected according to the published criteria.

Once in the Basket, a proposal may be identified for award by the Government based on Government need and availability of funding. The Government reserves the right to 1.) request that the MCDC member who submitted the identified proposal, scale or otherwise adjust the original proposal, and to 2.) fund all or part of the identified proposal. The MCDC member will have an opportunity to update their proposal, as applicable, if selected from the basket. The Government will review any updated information provided by the MCDC member and/or CMF. Upon the Government’s decision to fund such a proposal from the Basket, the CMF will receive notification of the award decision through a TDL whereupon the CMF will enter into a Project Agreement with the indicated MCDC member as required.

A selected proposal will reside in the Basket for thirty-six (36) months from the date the corresponding RPP is closed unless funded or the submitting MCDC member requests in writing beforehand to have it removed.

SBIR Phase III Project Requests

It will be incumbent upon the MCDC member, on their own with some general support and guidance from the CMF, to find a Government Technical POC with both (1) available funding and (2) an interest in furthering technology developed under a current or prior SBIR project. Upon doing so, the Government Technical POC will coordinate the feasibility of placing the award under the OTA with the Government AO and OTA Program Manager and the following areas will be considered when making a determination for appropriateness of award under the OTA:
How the proposed effort derives from, extends, or logically concludes efforts performed under prior SBIR funding agreements;
How the proposed effort fits within the definition of a prototype effort related to medical, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic technologies to enhance mission effectiveness of military personnel in accordance with the statutory requirement;
How the proposed effort fits within the overall scope of work and the goals and objectives of the OTA.

Should the Government AO and the OTA Program Manager determine it is appropriate to award the SBIR Phase III under the OTA, the Government AO will send a proposal request to the MCDC member through the CMF, as is standard for any Government request under the OTA. The CMF will provide a cost analysis summary to the Government Agreements Officer (AO) for consideration in the Government’s award determination. The Government will evaluate the proposal, conduct any necessary negotiations through the CMF, and make an award determination. If the Government makes the determination to award to the MCDC member, the Government AO will issue a TDL letter to the CMF, resulting in the issuance of a Project Agreement between the CMF and MCDC member.

SBIR Phase III awards under this Agreement shall include the Data Rights provisions and Data Rights granted to the MCDC member contained within Article XI of this Agreement. All administrative, reporting, and other aspects of awards made for SBIR Phase III efforts under this Agreement will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the OTA. MCDC Members must have been awarded and performed under a previous SBIR Phase I and/or Phase II contract in order to qualify for SBIR Phase III award under this Agreement.

Section 1.04 Goals/Objectives

The following goals/objectives will be pursued through the execution of the OTA:

Accelerate the development of mission critical technologies in the areas of concern from applied research into advanced development.
Deliver therapeutic MCM prototypes targeting viral, bacterial, and biological toxin targets of interest to the DOD. MCM prototypes are drug products that have completed all or part of the activities required to support FDA licensure. This may include meeting warfighter requirements of protection against an aerosolized route of exposure.
Deliver enabling technologies that will support the development and regulatory review of MCM prototypes. The enabling technologies can include animal models of viral, bacterial or biological toxin disease and pathogenesis (multiple routes of exposure), assays, diagnostic technologies or other platform technologies applicable to development and regulatory review of MCM.
Develop prototype candidates for the prophylaxis, treatment and diagnosis of Chemical threats. This will include diagnosis of, and prophylaxis and treatment for, exposure to traditional and emerging chemical nerve agent threats, as well as other emerging chemical threat agents other than nerve agents.
Develop prototype candidates for the prophylaxis, treatment and diagnosis of Radiological and Nuclear threats. This will include prototype candidates for diagnosis of, and prophylaxis and treatment for Acute Radiation Syndrome.
Develop soldier-carried autoinjector delivery devices for single drug administration. Develop soldier- carried autoinjector delivery devices for administration of two or more drugs.
Develop vaccine-manufacturing platforms that offer early stage manufacturing flexibility and diversity using a deep knowledge of protein(s) expression in a biological system that is reproducible and scalable, and preferably with direct FDA experience. The goal is to manufacture and test identified protective molecule(s) and target molecule(s) (along with associated reagents and standards) in multiple scalable, flexible manufacturing platforms encompassing a diverse array of manufacturing systems (e.g., insect, mammalian, live viral, plant, E.coli, yeast, etc.) for use in appropriate animal model(s) and in Phase 1 trials.
Pharmaceutical development will address the FDA Animal Rule, as appropriate.
Utilize adjuvants and excipients supporting the ability to develop up to 300,000 equivalent doses within 60 days at clinical quality.
Support a family of systems diagnostic approach that increases the speed, accuracy, and confidence of agent identification and disease diagnosis. Diagnostic areas include those for organisms that circulate freely and at relatively high numbers at or near the onset of symptoms, organisms that circulate in low numbers early in infection but then integrate with host cells, organisms that have significant genomic diversity from strain to strain, and non-BW agents such as toxins/chemical agents/radiological agents that do not replicate and require low quantities to cause illness.
Support the Defense Biological Products Assurance Office (formally the Critical Reagents Program), the principal DoD resource of high quality, validated, and standardized biological reference materials, reagents, and assays, as necessary.
DoD Advanced Development and Manufacturing Capabilities: To facilitate lessons learned and to ensure DoD MCM product development schedules are not impacted, the consortium will consider Advanced Development and Manufacturing (ADM) capability contractors for biologics manufacturing activities for monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and recombinant proteins may utilize the DoD funded facility.
Pursue collaborative research with non-traditional technology providers in a manner that enables effective transition of technologies to Government prototyping programs during any phase of life cycle support (affordability, manufacturability, sustainment, etc.).

Section 1.05    Reports

The MCDC member organizations conducting projects in accordance with this Agreement shall maintain records of the activities performed and funding expended under the projects and the results of any studies analyses, tests, and other investigations conducted. Based on the progress of the funded projects and other
    



Page 13 of 51    

information known to the AO or authorized designee, the MCS Program Office shall review the relevant projects throughout the period to determine if any changes to planning or budget are required. If such a change is expected which will cause a need to modify the OTA, the Technical Direction Letter or an individual Project Agreement may be modified to incorporate such changes. The AO is the only authorized representative of the Government who may make modifications to the OTA. PAHs shall submit the following reports to the CMF who will review and provide one cumulative report detailing status of all funded projects to the MCS Program Office.

Page 15 of 51    

(4) Assign to the Government, as directed by the AO, all right, title, and interest of the PAH under the orders terminated, in which case the Government shall have the right to settle or to pay any termination settlement proposal arising out of those terminations.

(5) With approval or ratification to the extent required by the AO, the CMF may settle all outstanding liabilities and termination settlement proposals arising from the termination of orders; the approval or ratification will be final for purposes of this clause.

(6) Provide CMF, and/or obtain from the subawardees under the terminated portion of the Agreement a transfer of title to the following where applicable and deliver to the Government --

(i) The fabricated or unfabricated parts, work in process, completed work, supplies, and other material produced or acquired for the work terminated; and

(ii) The completed or partially completed plans, drawings, information, and other property that, if the order had been completed, would have been required to be furnished to the Government.

(7) Complete performance of any work not terminated, if applicable.

(8) Take any action that may be necessary, or that the AO may direct through the CMF, for the protection and preservation of the property related to this project that is in the possession of the PAH(s) or any subawardee and in which the Government has or may acquire an interest.

(9) Use commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as directed or authorized by the CMF, any property of the types referred to under Article II. Section 2.03 Termination Provisions, (6)(i) and (ii); provided, however, that the PAH:

(i) is not required to extend credit to any purchaser and

(ii) may arrange for the subawardee who was performing the terminated work to acquire the property under the conditions prescribed by, and at prices approved by, the CMF.

(iii) will in no event be required to continue with such efforts for more than three (3) months after notice by the CMF to sell or disposition such property.

(10) The PAH has no obligation to continue to cost share on the terminated project or terminated portion of the project.

The requirement for at least 1/3 cost share of the total project cost by the PAH is assessed prior to award. In the event that during the course of the performance of the Project Agreement any of the parties to the Project Agreement believe the cost sharing funds available will be insufficient, the PAH shall notify the CMF within twenty-five (25) days of the event that gave rise to the insufficient cost sharing funds. CMF will notify the Government within five
(5) days of receiving such notice from the PAH. The Government will determine whether it is in its best interest to either renegotiate the scope and/or terms of the Project Agreement to meet the cost share requirement or terminate the Project Agreement in whole or in part.

Section 2.04 Termination Cost

The CMF will negotiate with the Government and PAH in good faith equitable reimbursement for work performed toward accomplishment of the task or tasks of individual projects. The Government will allow full credit for the Government share of the obligations properly incurred by a PAH prior to termination. Costs incurred by a PAH during a suspension or after termination of a project are not allowable unless the CMF expressly authorizes them in either the notices of suspension, termination, or subsequently. Other PAH’s costs incurred during a suspension or after termination which are necessary and not reasonably avoidable are allowable if:

(a)The costs result from obligations which were properly incurred by the PAH before the effective date of the suspension or termination, are not in anticipation of it, and in the case of a termination, are non-cancellable; and

(b)The costs would be allowable if the project was not suspended or the award expired normally at the end of the funding period in which the termination takes effect.

Section 2.05 Close-out Procedure.

If the Government funds an individual Project Agreement and then subsequently terminates the agreement or the requirements of the agreement are met, the following closeout procedures apply:

(a)Definitions.

(i) “Closeout” – the process by which the Government and CMF determine that all applicable administrative actions and all required work have been completed by the PAH.

(ii) “Date of Completion” – the date on which all work is completed or the date on an amendment thereto on which the period of performance ends.

(iii) “Disallowed costs” – those charges that the Government or its representative determines to be unallowable, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement.

(b)Upon request, the Government shall make prompt payments to the PAH through the CMF for allowable reimbursable costs under the MCS Project Agreement being closed out.

(c)The PAH shall immediately refund any balance of unobligated (unencumbered) cash that the CMF has paid and that is not authorized to be retained by the PAH for use in the performance of the Project Agreement.

(d)The CMF shall obtain from the PAH within 90 calendar days after the date of completion of an MCS Project Agreement all financial, performance, and other reports required as a condition of the MCS Project Agreement. The CMF may grant extensions when requested by the PAH.

(e)When authorized, the CMF shall make a settlement for any upward or downward adjustments to the Government’s share of costs after these reports are received based on final, actual expenditures in accordance with the Termination Costs provision of the Agreement.

(f)Quick close-out procedures similar to FAR 42.708 shall be followed.

(g)The PAH shall account for any property received from the Government.

Section 2.06 Stop Work

As directed by the AO, the CMF may, at any time, by written order to the PAH, require the PAH to stop all, or any part, of the work called for under this Agreement or any Project Agreement for a period of 90 days after the written order is delivered to the PAH, and for any further period to which the parties may agree. The order shall be
    



Page 17 of 51    

specifically identified as a stop-work order issued under this section. Upon receipt of the order, the PAH shall immediately comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work stoppage. Within a period of 90 days after a stop-work is delivered to the PAH, or within any extension of that period to which the parties shall have agreed, the CMF shall either:
(a) Cancel the stop-work order; or
(b) Terminate the work covered by the Project Agreement as provided in Article II, Term and Termination.

If a stop work order issued under this clause is canceled, the PAH shall resume work. The CMF shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule or Project Agreement estimated cost/price, or both, and the Government’s share of the Project Agreement shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if—

(1)The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the PAH’s cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of the Project Agreement; and

(2)The PAH asserts its right to the adjustment within 30 days after the end of the period of work stoppage; provided, that, if the Government decides the facts justify the action, the Government through the MCDC CMF may receive and act upon a proposal submitted at any time before final payment under the Project Agreement.

If a stop work order is not canceled and the work covered by the Project Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article II, the MCDC CMF shall work with the PAH to negotiate an equitable reimbursement in accordance with Article II. Section 2.03, Termination Provisions.


Article III. MANAGEMENT OF THE PROJECT

Section 3.01 The Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC)

The MCDC, as defined in the OTA, was formed to work with the Government and provide input in developing technologies to support the Department of Defense’s (DoD) medical, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic requirements as related to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel ultimately resulting in fully executed research and development prototype projects selected by the Government. Every Member in this MCDC is independent of the other, and there is no affiliation between the MCDC members within the definition of 13 C.F.R. 121.103 of the Federal Small Business Regulations and no such affiliation is intended either by the formation or implementation of the MCDC.

As appointed by the MCDC Executive Committee, the CMF has the authority to execute the Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) on behalf of the MCDC and has the responsibility for day to day overall administration of this Agreement, subject to the supervision of the MCDC Executive Committee.

Project Agreements will be issued as either a fixed price milestone payment method or a cost reimbursement milestone payment method as described below.

(a)Fixed Price Milestone Payment Method: Payments shall be made in accordance with the Payable Milestone Schedule of each Project Agreement, provided the designated AOR has verified compliance with the Statement of Work and accomplishment of the stated effort. The Payable Milestone Schedule may be revised as appropriate and deemed necessary by issuance of a bilateral modification to the Project Agreement. Quarterly reviews by the AOR and the CMF will assess the need for revisions to the Payable Milestone Schedule. An acceptable invoice for adjustable fixed price milestone payments is one that (on the invoice or on the Payable Milestone Report):

(i)contains the date of invoice and the Base Agreement number and Project Agreement number;

(ii)identifies any associated technical milestones and the progress toward completion of each milestone; and

(iii)lists the milestone cost negotiated and contained in each Project Agreement

(b)Cost Reimbursable Milestone Payment Method (with not to exceed ceiling): Payment is contingent upon satisfactory progress toward completion of milestones as delineated in Project Agreement. Payment shall be made based on actual costs incurred in completing milestones up to the maximum amount allowable under the applicable Project Agreement, provided the designated AOR has verified compliance with the Statement of Work and accomplishment of the stated effort. Per (ii) below, either a Status Report identifying any associated technical tasks and the progress toward completion of each milestone, a Deliverable Report, or a Milestone Report is required concurrent with the invoice. An acceptable invoice for reimbursable payment is one that (on the invoice or on the attached Status, Deliverable, or Milestone Report in accordance with each Project Task Assignment):

Authorized Signature __________________________

(c)Cost Plus Fixed Fee Milestone Payment Method (with not to exceed ceiling): Payment is contingent
    



Page 21 of 51    

upon satisfactory progress toward completion of milestones as delineated in Project Agreement. Payment shall be made based on actual costs incurred in completing milestones up to the maximum amount allowable under the applicable Project Agreement, provided the designated AOR has verified compliance with the Statement of Work and accomplishment of the stated effort. The PAH will normally fund any costs incurred above this maximum amount. Either a Status Report identifying any associated technical tasks and the progress toward completion of each milestone, a Deliverable Report, or a Milestone Report is required concurrent with the invoice. An acceptable invoice for reimbursable payment is one that (on the invoice or on the attached Status, Deliverable, or Milestone Report in accordance with each Project Agreement):

(i) contains the date of invoice and the Base t Agreement number and Project Agreement number;

(ii) identifies any associated technical milestones and the progress toward completion of each milestone;

Authorized Signature __________________________

(d) Cost Reimbursable, Cost Sharing Milestone Payment Method (with not to exceed ceiling): Payment is contingent upon satisfactory progress toward completion of milestones as delineated in Project Agreement and acceptable cost share. Payment shall be made based on actual costs incurred in completing milestones up to the maximum amount allowable under the applicable Project Agreement, provided the designated AOR has verified compliance with the Statement of Work and accomplishment of the stated effort. Per (ii) below, either a Status Report identifying any associated technical tasks and the progress toward completion of each milestone, a Deliverable Report, or a Milestone Report is required concurrent with the invoice. An acceptable invoice for reimbursable payment is one that (on the invoice or on the attached Status, Deliverable, or Milestone Report in accordance with each Project Agreement):

(i) contains the date of invoice and the Base Agreement number and Project Agreement number;

(ii) identifies any associated technical milestones and the progress toward completion of each milestone;

(iii) includes a report of the cost share expended towards the accomplishment of the SOW tasks and/or milestones. This cost share report may be attached to the invoice if contractor practices make inclusion of such information on the invoice itself impractical. If the cost share report is separate from the invoice, it must be signed by an authorized representative. This cost share report must contain a breakout of the cost share by cost element similar to the level of detail required on the invoice and any in-kind contributions. The preferred method of reporting cost share is to provide an invoice for actual cost incurred with a value for the cost shared amount and the value to be reimbursed by the Government through the CMF;

(iv) includes a description of supplies and services, labor costs, subcontractor costs, material costs, travel costs, other direct costs, and extended totals;

Actual project costs incurred and cost share performance, if applicable, of each project shall be reported and reviewed each quarter.

Section 5.04 c. Payment Terms

Payment terms are NET 30 days after CMF’s receipt of an acceptable invoice. An acceptable invoice is one that meets the conditions described in Article V Section 5.04a. Payment Method Types.

Section 5.05 Advance Payments:

On a per project basis, advance payments may be approved by the AO. If the AO has approved advance payments, there will be a requirement to establish a separate interest bearing account. The PAH sets up and maintains funds in a separate interest bearing account unless one of the following applies:

(1)The PAH receives less than $120,000 in Federal awards per year;

(2)The best reasonably available interest bearing account would not expect to earn interest in excess of
$250 per year on such cash advances;

(3)The depository would require an average or minimum balance so high that it would not be feasible within the expected cash resources for the project; or

(4)The advance payments are made one time to reduce financing costs for large up-front expenditures and the fund will not remain in the PAH’s account for any significant period of time.

Where a separate interest bearing account is set up, any interest earned should be remitted annually to the CMF. CMF shall forward the funds to the Government as directed by the AO. Interest payments shall be made payable to the U.S. Treasury.

Section 5.06 Limitation of Funds:

Except as set forth in Article VII, the Government's financial liability will not exceed the amount obligated for projects and available for payment.

Such audit, examination or access shall be performed during business hours on business days upon prior written notice and shall be subject to the security requirements of the audited party. Any audit required during the course of the program may be conducted by the Government using Government auditors or, at the request of the PAH, by the requesting PAH's external CPA accounting firm at the expense of the requesting PAH.
AGREEMENT

Article VI.    NONTRADITIONAL DEFENSE/COST SHARING

In accordance with provisions of 10 USC 2371b, Section 815 of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, P.L. 114-92, which provides the Department of Defense (DoD) authority to enter into transactions other than contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements, the Department of Defense (DoD) has the authority to make awards that are directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel and the supporting platforms, systems, components, or materials proposed to be acquired or developed by the Department of Defense, or the improvement of platforms, systems, components, or materials in use by the armed forces. Section 815 revised the definition for the term ‘nontraditional defense contractor’ as defined in Article I. Section 1.01, Definitions.

Each MCDC Member Organization must meet the definition of a Nontraditional Defense Contractor or have at least one Nontraditional Defense Contractor participating to a significant extent in the performance of an awarded Project Agreement. Examples of what might be considered a significant extent or significant contribution include, but may not be limited to supplying new key technologies or products, accomplishing a significant amount of the effort, or in some other way causing a material reduction in the cost or schedule or increase in the performance.

If significant Nontraditional Defense Contractor participation cannot be fulfilled, the Member Organization must provide at least one third cost share of the value of the Project Agreement awarded to the Member Organization. Proposals that fail to comply with this requirement will not be awarded under the OTA.

Cost Sharing is not required under this Other Transaction Agreement for projects that contain significant nontraditional defense contractor participation. Where both Parties agree, cost sharing may be considered on a per project basis under terms and conditions to be agreed to by the Parties and in accordance with the “Other Transactions” (OT) Guide For Prototype Projects dated January 2001. For traditional Government contractors without a significant nontraditional defense contractor teaming partner, a one third cost share of the project costs is required as described in the “Other Transaction” (OT) Guide For Prototype Projects dated January 2001. For traditional Government contractors with significant nontraditional defense contractor participation, cost sharing is not required for Projects under this OTA.

Throughout the period of performance of any Project Agreement, the Government AO and AOR will actively monitor Nontraditional Defense Contractor participation and/or cost sharing to ensure compliance with this provision in accordance with implementation guidance from HQDA and/or OSD. The PAH will be given the opportunity to become compliant with the guidance should they be found non-compliant. Failure to comply may result in termination.

Alternatively, the parties may agree to explore and establish an Alternate Disputes Resolution procedure to resolve this dispute.

Section 7.03 Limitation of Liability and Damages

In no event shall the liability of the MCDC PAH or any other entity performing research activities under a Project Agreement exceed the funding such entity has received for their performance of the specific Project Agreement under which the dispute arises.

No Party shall be liable to any other Party for consequential, punitive, special and incidental damages or other indirect damages, whether arising in contract (including warranty), tort (whether or not arising from the negligence of a Party) or otherwise, except to the extent such damages are caused by a Party's willful misconduct; Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for contribution toward third-party injury, damage, or loss are not limited, waived, released, or disclaimed.

Article X.    PATENT RIGHTS

Section 10.01 Definitions

“Invention” means any invention or discovery which is or may be patentable or otherwise protectable under Title 35 of the United States Code.

“Made” when used in relation to any invention means the conception or first actual reduction to practice of such invention.

“Practical application” means to manufacture, in the case of a composition of product; to practice, in the case of a process or method, or to operate, in the case of a machine or system; and in each case, under such conditions as to establish that the invention is capable of being utilized and that its benefits are, to the extent permitted by law or Government regulations, available to the public on reasonable terms.

“Subject Invention” means any invention of the MCDC’s PAH or its subcontractors of any tier conceived or first actually reduced to practice in the performance of work on a Project Agreement under this Agreement.

"Background Invention" means any invention, or improvement to any invention, other than a Subject Invention, made by a PAH (or their subcontractors of any tier) that was conceived, designed, developed, produced, and/or actually reduced to practice prior to performance of the Agreement or outside the scope of work performed under this Agreement.

Section 10.02 Allocation of Principal Rights

The PAH, or its subcontractor to the extent such is proper assignee of the invention, shall retain the entire right, title, and interest throughout the world to each Subject Invention consistent with the provisions of this Article, Executive Order 12591 and 35 U.S.C § 202. In the event that a PAH consists of more than one entity or person, those entities or persons may allocate such right, title interest between themselves or others as they may agree in writing. With respect to any Subject Invention in which the PAH retains title, the Government shall have a non-exclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced on behalf of the United States the Subject Invention throughout the world. The PAH may elect to provide full or partial rights that it has retained to other parties. The Government shall have the right to use any products or processes used for test and evaluation (including materials for testing or assays) in any other project pursued on behalf of the U.S. Government.

Section 10.03 Invention Disclosure, Election of Title, and Filing of Patent Application

(1)The PAH shall disclose each Subject Invention to the CMF within [* * *] after the inventor
discloses it in writing to his company personnel responsible for patent matters. The disclosure to the CMF shall be in the form of a written report and shall identify the Agreement under which the invention was made and the identity of the inventor(s). It shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear understanding to the extent known at the time of the disclosure, of the nature, purpose, operation, and the physical, chemical, biological or electrical characteristics of the invention. The disclosure shall also identify any publication, sale, or public use of the invention and whether a manuscript describing the invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication at the time of disclosure.

    



Page 29 of 51    

(2) If the PAH determines that it does not intend to retain title to any such invention, the PAH shall notify the CMF, in writing, within [* * *] of disclosure. However, in any case where publication, sale or public use has initiated the one (1) year statutory period wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States, the period for such notice may be shortened by the ACC-NJ through CMF to a date that is no more than [* * *] prior to the end of the project.

(3) The PAH shall file its initial patent application on a Subject Invention to which it elects to retain title within [* * *] after election of title or, if earlier, prior to the end of the statutory period wherein valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States after a publication, or sale, or public use. The MCDC PAH may elect to file patent applications in additional countries (including the European Patent Office and the Patent Cooperation Treaty) within either [* * *] of the corresponding initial patent application or [* * *] from the date permission is granted by the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks to file foreign patent applications, where such filing has been prohibited by a Secrecy Order.

(4) After considering the position of the CMF on behalf of the PAH, a request for extension of the time for disclosure election, and filing under this Article IX, paragraph C, may be approved by ACC-NJ, which ACC-NJ approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 10.04    Conditions When the Government May Obtain Title

Upon written request to the CMF, the PAH shall convey to the Government title to any Subject Invention under any of the following conditions:

(1)If the PAH fails to disclose or elects not to retain title to the Subject Invention within the times specified in Section 10.03 of this Article X, Patent Rights; provided, that the Government may only request title within [* * *] after learning of the failure of the PAH to disclose or elect within the specified times.

(2)In those countries in which the PAH fails to file patent applications within the times specified in Section 10.03 of this Article X, Patent Rights; provided, that if the PAH has filed a patent application in a country after times specified in Section 10.03 of this Article X, Patent Rights, but prior to its receipt of the written request by the Government through the CMF, the PAH shall continue to retain title in that country; or

(3)In any country in which the PAH decides not to continue the prosecution of any application for, to pay the maintenance fees on, or defend in reexamination or opposition proceedings on, a patent on a Subject Invention.

Section 10.05    Minimum Rights to the MCDC PAH and Protection of the MCDC PAH’s Right to File

The Parties agree that:

(1)The PAH shall retain a non-exclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world in each Subject Invention to which the Government obtains title, except if the PAH fails to disclose the invention within the times specified in Section 10.03 of this Article X, Patent Rights. PAH's license extends to the domestic (including Canada) subsidiaries and affiliates, if any, of the PAH within the corporate structure of which the PAH is a party and includes the right to grant licenses of the same scope to the extent that PAH was legally obligated to do so at the time the Project Agreement was funded. The license is transferable only with the approval of the Government, except when transferred to the successor of that part of the business to which the invention pertains. Government approval for license transfer shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(2)The PAH domestic license may be revoked or modified by the Government to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious practical application of the Subject Invention pursuant to an application for an exclusive license submitted consistent with appropriate provisions at 37 CFR Part 404. This license shall not be revoked in that field of use or the geographical areas in which the PAH has achieved practical application and continues to make the benefits of the invention reasonably accessible to the public. The license in any foreign country may be revoked or modified at the discretion of the Government to the extent
    



Page 30 of 51    

the PAH, its licensees, or the subsidiaries or affiliates have failed to achieve practical application in that foreign country.

(3) Before revocation or modification of the license, the Government shall furnish the CMF, and the CMF shall forward to the PAH, a written notice of the Government's intention to revoke or modify the license, and the PAH shall be allowed [* * *] (or such other time as may be authorized for good cause shown) after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or modified.

Section 10.06    Action to Protect the Government’s Interest

(1) The PAH shall execute or have executed and promptly deliver to CMF all instruments necessary to (i) establish or confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those Subject Inventions to which the PAH elects to retain title, and (ii) convey title to the Government when requested under Section 10.04 of this Article X, Patent Rights, and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection throughout the world in that Subject Invention.

(2) The PAH agrees to require, by written agreement, that its employees working on Project Agreements, other than clerical and non-technical employees, agree to disclose promptly in writing, to personnel identified as responsible for the administration of patent matters and in a format acceptable to the CMF, each Subject Invention made under this Agreement in order that the CMF on behalf of the PAH can comply with disclosure provisions of Section 10.03 of the Article X, Patent Rights, and to execute all papers necessary to file the patent applications on the Subject Invention and to establish the Government’s rights in the Subject Invention. The PAH acknowledges and shall instruct its employees, through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs, on the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to permit the filing of patent applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars.

(3) The PAH shall notify the CMF of any decision not to continue the prosecution of a patent application, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceedings on a patent, in any country, not less than [* * *] before the expiration of the response period required by the relevant patent office.

(4) The PAH shall include, within the specification of any United States patent application and any patent issuing thereon covering a Subject Invention, the following statement: “This invention was made with U.S. Government support under Agreement No. W15QKN-16-9-1002 awarded by the ACC-NJ to the MCDC. The Government has certain rights in the invention.”

Section 10.07    Lower Tier Agreements

The PAH shall include the Article X, Patent Rights, suitably modified to identify the parties, in all lower tier agreements, regardless of tier, for experimental, development, or research work.

Section 10.08    Reporting on Utilization of Subject Inventions

The PAH shall submit, on request during the term of the Project Agreement, periodic reports no more frequently than annually on the utilization of a Subject Invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that are being made by the PAH or its licensees or assignees. Such reports shall include information regarding the status of development date of first commercial sale or use, gross royalties received by the PAH, and such other data and information as the agency may reasonably specify. The PAH also agrees to provide additional reports as may be requested by the Government, through CMF, in connection with any march-in proceedings undertaken by the Government in accordance with Section 10.10 of this Article X, Patent Rights. Consistent with 35 U.S.C. § 205, the Government agrees it shall not disclose such information to persons outside the Government without permission of the MCDC on behalf of the PAHs.

    



Page 31 of 51    

Section 10.09 Preference for American Industry

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Article X, Patent Rights, the PAH is not to grant to any person the exclusive right to use or sell any Subject Invention in the United States or Canada unless such person agrees that any product embodying the Subject Invention or produced through the use of the Subject Invention shall be manufactured substantially in the United States or Canada. However, in individual cases, the requirements for such an agreement may be waived by the Government upon a showing by the PAH that reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States or that, under the circumstances, domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible.

Section 10.10 March-in Rights

The PAH agrees that, with respect to any Subject Invention in which its PAH has retained title, the Government, through CMF, has the right to require the PAH to obtain and grant a non-exclusive license to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if the PAH refuses such a request, the Government has the right to grant such a licensee itself if the Government determines that:

(1)Such action is necessary because the PAH or assignee has not taken effective steps, consistent with the intent of this Agreement, to achieve practical application of the Subject Invention;

(2)Such action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs which are not reasonably satisfied by the PAH, assignee, or their licensees;

(3)Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the PAH, assignee, or licensees; or

(4)Such action is necessary because the Agreement required by Section 10.09 of this Article X, Patent Rights, has not been obtained or waived or because a licensee who has the exclusive right to use or sell any Subject Invention in the United States is in the breach of such Agreement.

Section 10.11 Opportunity to Cure

Certain provisions of this Article X, Patent Rights, provide that the Government may gain title or license to a Subject Invention by reason of the PAH’s action, or failure to act, within the times required by this Article X, Patent Rights. Prior to claiming such rights (including any rights under Article X, Section 10.10 March-In Rights), the Government will give written notice to MCDC, through its CMF, and CMF will convey such written notice to PAH, of the Government's intent, and afford the PAH a reasonable time to cure such action or failure to act. The length of the cure period will depend on the circumstances, but in no event will be more than 60 days. PAH may also use the cure period to show good cause why the claiming of such title or right would be inconsistent with the intent of this Agreement in light of the appropriate timing for introduction of the technology in question, the relative funding and participation of the parties in the development, and other factors.

Section 10.12 Background Information

In no event shall the provisions set forth in this Article X apply to any Background Inventions or Patents. The PAHs or their subcontractors shall retain the entire right, title, and interest throughout the world to each such Inventions and Patents that each party has brought through MCDC to the project issued under this Agreement and the Government shall not have any rights under this Agreement. Projects to be funded under this Agreement will list Background Inventions and Patents anticipated to be used on the project; such listing may be amended by the parties as appropriate to reflect changes in such plans.

Large-Scale Manufacturing of Antibodies Directed to SARS-CoV-2

RPP #: RPP-20-08
Project Identifier: MCDC OTA 2008-005, W15QKN-16-9-1002
Consortium Member: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Title of Proposal: Large-Scale Manufacturing of Antibodies Directed to SARS-CoV-2

1.0    INTRODUCTION, SCOPE, AND OBJECTIVES

A. Preamble

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (referred to herein as “Regeneron”, “Offeror”, “Contractor” or “Recipient”) has demonstrated experience with rapid scale-up of biopharmaceutical programs.  Our excellent history of receiving development scale processes from Research and Development (R&D) laboratories, and then expanding to clinical or commercial Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) scale production, is well documented. [* * *] We have consistently demonstrated our ability to expedite the delivery of high quality, safe and efficacious products (Ebola therapeutic) in partnership with the Government (anti-MERS, anti-Ebola).
Fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are molecules with high potency, predictable Pharmacokinetics (PK), and limited off-target toxicity, and thus provide attractive types of therapeutics for emerging diseases. Importantly, we have repeatedly demonstrated that candidate mAb-based drugs to prevent and/or treat emerging infections, can be rapidly obtained from Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® mice. Further, our ability to concurrently generate isogenic cell lines that are optimized for rapid antibody scale up and manufacturing using our proprietary Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) platform technologies, have facilitated both testing of our mAbs in preclinical models and subsequent development of these mAbs into drugs suitable for human testing. In the process of completing many of these activities we have collaborated with other entities (including BARDA, Research Institutes, Government Laboratories and Universities). Our manufacturing has been designed to be paired with our proprietary VelocImmune® R&D technology, that is a proven process to rapidly take a research concept from the bench, into large scale production, with the ability to delivery medicines to patients.

The Government has advised Regeneron that it is appropriate for the project described in this Project Agreement to be performed through the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC), under the authority of the MCDC Other Transaction Agreement No. W15QKN-16-9-1002.  Regeneron is amenable to performing the project pursuant to such authority, based on the advice of the Government, and due to the unprecedented circumstances of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and, accordingly, the parties have entered into this Project Agreement. 

[* * *]





B. Overall Objectives and Scope

This project is defined by discrete work segments for the continuous manufacture of drug substance, formulated drug substance and filled, packaged and labeled drug product, in accordance with a mutually agreed schedule.

Pursuant to this project, Regeneron will manufacture and sell drug product to the applicable United States (U.S.) Federal Government agency, for distribution in the U.S. All manufacturing described herein will be compliant with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) current Good Manufacturing Oractices (cGMP), as 21 CFR 210 and 211.

1.1    Introduction

The objective is to conduct the manufacturing production activities described in this proposal for prototypes consisting of novel, proprietary mAb therapeutics and prophylactics, to reduce pathology of COVID-19 disease and/or prevent development of disease when administered prophylactically.

1.2    Scope

These manufacturing production activities will include manufacturing at-scale, filling and finishing, and storage and shipping of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific monoclonal antibodies (referred to herein as the “prototype”, the “prototype product”, the “product” or “drug product”) for treatment and/or prophylaxis against COVID-19.

1.3    Definition of the Prototype Project

Consistent with USG objectives, Regeneron will employ its proprietary manufacturing technology and processes, in a manner compliant with applicable laws and regulations, including 21 CFR 210 and 211 and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, to manufacture the prototype product. This effort constitutes a prototype project because it will be used to evaluate the technical feasibility of manufacturing the prototype product during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, this is a prototype project because Regeneron will demonstrate, and prove-out the at-scale, multi-lot proprietary manufacturing activities of Regeneron in order to assess the feasibility of these activities to support the necessary quantity of the prototype product to treat the U.S. population. Successful completion of the prototype project will demonstrate Regeneron’s capability to (i) rapidly manufacture product, which can be further scaled-up to meet mutually agreed to surge requirements with little advance notification and (ii) facilitate the Government’s ability to stockpile and distribute large quantities of the drug product to respond when needed, including for use in clinical studies, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), or pursuant to other clearance from the U.S. FDA. For clarity, any manufacturing and supply of drug product in excess of the
[* * *]




specific quantities set forth in Section 4.0 of this Statement of Work, shall be subject to a separate mutual agreement between Regeneron and the Government.

The scope of effort supported by this agreement is further clarified in Section 1.4. It is important to note that nonclinical and clinical studies for the prototype are being conducted by Regeneron outside of this agreement. The results of those studies may be used to develop use case scenarios and, in turn, inform the USG’s deployment strategy as it relates to product manufactured under this agreement; however, such results (including the degree to which the data are “positive” or “negative”) shall not be a factor in this prototype project.

1.4    Objective

Conduct its proprietary manufacturing production activities described in this proposal for prototypes consisting of novel, proprietary mAb therapeutics and prophylactics, to reduce pathology of COVID-19 disease and/or prevent development of disease when administered prophylactically.
The prototypes will include one or more of the following, as mutually agreed between Offeror and the Government:
the mAbs known as REGN10987 and REGN10933, as a cocktail;
Other mAbs (as monotherapies or a cocktail) as agreed to by bilateral modification between Offeror and the Government.
The deliverables will be the products listed above (i.e., REGN10987 and REGN10933), in the form of bulk formulated drug substance and/or filled and finished product in vials, as mutually agreed between Offeror and the Government, packaged and labeled drug product, results, reports and records associated with generation of data demonstrating quality and control.
The products will be delivered in the form and quantity to be agreed between Offeror and the Government. It is expected that the prototypes will be stored by Offeror until such time as (a) they can be used for pre-clinical or clinical development purposes under an Investigational New Drug application (IND), or (b) upon the FDA’s grant of an EUA under Section 564 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), or full marketing approval under a full Biologics License Application (BLA) under Section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA).

1.5    Follow-on Activity

In accordance with 10.U.S.C. 2371b(f), and upon successful demonstration of the prototype, or at the accomplishment of particularly favorable or unexpected results achieved outside of this Agreement that would justify transitioning to production (e.g., EUA or BLA), additional at-scale manufacturing of [* * *], supported by a mutually agreed upon follow-on production contract or Other Transaction Agreement, may be awarded to Regeneron, without further competition, to partially or completely meet the USG objective of supplying a safe and effective COVID-19 therapeutic or prophylactic treatment courses to ensure nationwide
[* * *]




access. For clarity, any manufacturing and supply of drug product in excess of the specific quantities set forth in Section 4.0 of this Statement of Work shall be subject to a mutually-agreed upon separate agreement between Regeneron and the Government. For further clarity, neither party shall be obligated to negotiate or enter into such a separate agreement for follow-on production.

During the performance of the prototype project, the Government and contractor may negotiate the scope and price of follow-on production.

7.2     PATENT RIGHTS

a.Allocation of Principal Rights
The parties agree that the Bayh-Dole statute does not apply to this Project Agreement. Ownership of inventions Made in the performance of this Project Agreement shall follow inventorship, and inventorship shall be determined in accordance with United States patent laws. With respect to any Subject Invention Made (in whole or in part) by or on behalf of Regeneron, unless Regeneron shall have notified the Government (in accordance with Subparagraph b. below) that Regeneron does not intend to properly disclose and elect title to a Subject Invention, Regeneron shall retain the entire right, title, and interest throughout the world to such Subject Invention, and the Government shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced on behalf of the United States the Subject Invention throughout the world. This license does not include the right to use or allow others to use the Subject Invention for commercial purposes. If Regeneron does not properly disclose and elect title to any such Subject Invention (in
[* * *]




accordance with Subparagraph b. below), then the Government may exercise its rights to seek ownership of such Subject Invention, pursuant to clause 7.2.c. below.

b.Invention Disclosure, Election of Title, and Filing of Patent Application
i.Regeneron shall disclose in writing each Subject Invention to the OTTR within 12 months after the inventor discloses it in writing to Regeneron personnel responsible for patent matters. The disclosure shall identify the inventor(s) and this Project Agreement under which the Subject Invention was made. It shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear understanding of the Subject Invention. The disclosure shall also identify any publication, on sale (i.e., sale or offer for sale), or public use of the Subject Invention, or whether a manuscript describing the Subject Invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication. In addition, after disclosure to the Government funding agency (HHS/BARDA), Regeneron shall promptly notify the OTTR of the acceptance of any manuscript describing the Subject Invention for publication and any on sale or public use.
ii.Regeneron shall elect in writing whether or not to retain ownership of any Subject Invention by notifying the OTTR within 2 years of disclosure to the Government funding agency. However, in any case where publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, the period for election of title may be shortened by the agency to a date that is no more than 60 calendar days prior to the end of the statutory period.
iii.Regeneron shall file either a provisional or a non-provisional patent application for an elected Subject Invention within 1 year after election of title. However, in any case where a publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, Regeneron shall file the application prior to the end of that statutory period. If Regeneron files an initial provisional application, it shall file a non-provisional application within 10 months of the filing of the initial provisional application. Regeneron shall include a Government Support Clause (GSC) within the specification of any United States patent applications and any patent issuing thereon covering a subject invention.
iv.Regeneron may request extensions of time for disclosure, election, or filing under subparagraphs (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of this clause. An extension of time for each deadline, may be granted at the discretion of the Government funding agency.
v.If Regeneron determines that it does not intend to elect to retain title to any such Subject Invention, Regeneron shall notify the Government, in writing, within two (2) years of disclosure to the Government. However, in any case where publication, sale, or public use has initiated the one (1)-year statutory
[* * *]




period wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States, the period for such notice may be shortened by the Government to a date that is no more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the end of the statutory period.

c.Conditions When the Government May Obtain Title
Upon the Government’s written request, Regeneron shall convey title to any Subject Invention to the Government funding agency if Regeneron fails to disclose the Subject Invention or elects not to retain title to the Subject Invention within the times specified in Subparagraph b of Section 7.2. The Government may request title after learning of the failure of Regeneron to disclose or elect within the specified times for an unlimited time. The Government funding agency may request title upon Regeneron’s omission to timely file patent applications in any country. The Government funding agency may request title in any country in which Regeneron decides to discontinue prosecution.

d.Rights to Regeneron and Protection of Regeneron’s Right to File
Regeneron shall retain a fully paid up, sub-licensable, nonexclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world in each Subject Invention to which the Government obtains title. Regeneron license extends to Regeneron’s subsidiaries and other affiliates (outside this Agreement), if any, within the corporate structure of which Regeneron is a party and includes the right to grant licenses of the same scope to the extent that Regeneron was legally obligated or permitted to do so at the time the Project Agreement was executed. The license is otherwise transferable only with the approval of the Government, except when transferred to an Affiliate or successor of that part of Regeneron’s business to which the Subject Invention pertains.  The Government approval for license transfer shall be provided on a timely basis (and in no event later than 90 calendar days following Regeneron’s request) and shall not be unreasonably withheld.
i.The Regeneron license may be revoked or modified by the Government to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious Practical Application of the Subject Invention pursuant to an application for an exclusive or nonexclusive license submitted consistent with appropriate provisions at 37 CFR Part 404. Regeneron’s license shall not be revoked in that field of use or the geographical areas in which Regeneron has achieved Practical Application of the Subject Invention and continues to make the benefits of the Subject Invention accessible to the public.
ii.Before revocation or modification of Regeneron’s license, the Government shall furnish Regeneron with a written notice of its intention to revoke or modify the license, which notice shall include a detailed explanation of the reasons for such revocation or modification, and Regeneron shall be allowed thirty (30) calendar days (or such other time as may be authorized for good cause shown) after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or modified.

[* * *]




e.Action to Protect the Government’s Interest
Regeneron agrees to execute or to have executed and promptly deliver to the Government all instruments necessary to (i) establish or confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those Subject Inventions to which Regeneron elects to retain title, and (ii) convey title to the Government when requested under Subparagraph c of this Section 7.2 and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection throughout the world in that Subject Invention.
i.Regeneron agrees to require, by written agreement, its employees, other than clerical and non-technical employees, to disclose promptly in writing to personnel identified as responsible for the administration of patent matters and in a format suggested by Regeneron, each Subject Invention made under this Agreement so Regeneron can comply with the disclosure provisions of this Section 7.2. Regeneron shall use reasonable efforts to instruct employees, through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs, on the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to permit the filing of patent applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars.
ii.Regeneron shall notify the Government of any decisions not to continue the prosecution of a patent application for a Subject Invention, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceedings on a patent of a Subject Invention, in any country, not less than thirty (30) calendar days before the expiration of the response period required by the relevant patent office.

Regeneron shall include, within the specification of any United States patent application and any patent issuing thereon covering a Subject Invention, the following statement: “This invention was made with Government support under Agreement MCDC2020-504, awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Government has certain rights in the invention.”

f.Lower Tier Agreements
Regeneron shall ensure that its Affiliate agreements and Sub-Recipient Agreements regardless of tier, for experimental, developmental, or research work entered into after the Effective Date and submitted for reimbursement under this Agreement, contain invention reporting and assignment requirements sufficient to permit Regeneron to comply with this Section 7.2.

g.Reporting on Utilization of Subject Inventions
i.Regeneron agrees to submit, during the term of this Project Agreement, an annual report on the utilization of a Subject Invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that is being made by Regeneron or its licensees or assignees. Such reports shall include information regarding the status of development, date of first commercial sale or use, and such other data and information as the agency may reasonably specify. Regeneron also agrees to
[* * *]




provide additional reports as may be requested by the Government in connection with any march-in proceedings undertaken by the Government in accordance with Subparagraph h of this Section 7.2. Consistent with 35 U.S.C. § 202(c)(5), the Government agrees it shall not disclose such information to persons outside the Government without permission of Regeneron.
ii.All required reports shall be submitted to the e-room, OTAS, OTAO, and OTTR.

h.Compulsory Licensing Rights
Regeneron agrees that, with respect to any Subject Invention in which it has retained title, the Government has the right to require Regeneron, an assignee, or exclusive licensee of a Subject Invention to grant a non-exclusive license to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if Regeneron, assignee, or exclusive licensee refuses such a request, the Government has the right to grant such a license within the Field itself only if the Government determines that:

i.Action is necessary to alleviate the following health or safety needs that may affect the United States and Regeneron (itself or through its assignee, subcontractor or licensee) is unwilling or unable to manufacture or supply the Subject Invention to address such needs:
a.Declaration for Public Health Emergency by the Secretary of HHS;
b.Determination that there is a significant potential for a public Health emergency that has a significant potential to affect a national or health security of U.S. citizens as determined by the Secretary of HHS; or
c.Declaration by WHO Director General of a public health emergency of international concern.

4.1Manufacturing Responsibility
4.1.1Shared Responsibility during the Agreement Term
Each Party shall use diligent efforts to promptly complete those activities assigned to it pursuant to the Transfer Plan (as defined in the Technology Transfer Agreement) pursuant to the Technology Transfer Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 7 of the Technology Transfer Agreement, the Parties agree (a) they shall not terminate the Technology Transfer Agreement separate from this Agreement and (b) if either Party breaches the Technology Transfer Agreement, such breach shall be deemed to be a breach by such Party under this Agreement. Upon the Manufacturing Collaboration Timepoint, Roche shall, at its own cost, (i) dedicate and
- 30 -


utilize the equivalent of at least 100,000 liters of annualized bioreactor capacity on a full-time campaign basis [* * *] for the manufacture of Drug Substance at the Roche Manufacturing Facilities or at CMOs (subject to Section 2.3) (“Minimum Committed Roche Capacity”), unless the JMC decides a Minimum Committed Capacity Reduction pursuant to Section 8.2.3(g) and (ii) reserve sufficient capacity to fill, finish, pack and label, at its discretion, at Roche facilities or CMOs (subject to Section 2.3) the Drug Substance it manufactures.
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Product supplied by Roche to Regeneron under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement shall be Finished Product. Prior to beginning to manufacture Drug Substance at a Roche Manufacturing Facility other than the Roche Manufacturing Facility in Vacaville, California, Roche will notify the JMC for review and discussion of the Roche Manufacturing Facility pursuant to Section 8.2.3(i); provided that the JMC shall not have an approval right over use of such Roche Manufacturing Facility and Roche may determine to use such Roche Manufacturing Facility in its discretion.
Upon the Manufacturing Collaboration Timepoint, Regeneron shall at its own cost, dedicate and utilize the equivalent of at least 40,000 liters of annualized bioreactor capacity on a full-time campaign basis [* * *] for the manufacture of Drug Substance at Regeneron’s facilities or at CMOs (subject to Section 2.6) (“Minimum Committed Regeneron Capacity”), unless the JMC decides a Minimum Committed Capacity Reduction pursuant to Section 8.2.3(g). Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Products supplied by Regeneron to Roche Basel under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement shall be Drug Substance.
If the JMC decides to reduce the Minimum Committed Roche Capacity and Minimum Committed Regeneron Capacity because the demand in the Territory drops below 140,000 liters of bioreactor capacity on an annualized basis for commercial manufacture of the Drug Substance for the Lead Product, then, unless the JSC decides by mutual consent on a different proportion, the Minimum Committed Roche Capacity shall be reduced at the same proportion as the Minimum Committed Regeneron Capacity.
4.1.2Excess Capacity
In addition to its responsibilities set forth in Section 4.1.1 each Party shall have the right to make available bioreactor capacity for Drug Substance at its own facilities consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in excess of, respectively, the Minimum Committed Roche Capacity and the Minimum Committed Regeneron Capacity.
Roche Basel shall consider in good faith any request by Regeneron to convert Drug Substance which Regeneron manufactures to Drug Product or Finished Product. For the avoidance of doubt, if Roche Basel determines that it does not or will not have sufficient excess capacity to accommodate Regeneron’s request, that shall be a sufficient good faith reason for denying such request. [* * *].
4.1.3Specifications
Regeneron shall be solely responsible for establishing the specifications for each Drug Substance and Drug Product. Prior to Regeneron finalizing any specifications, Regeneron will provide Roche with the proposed specifications and provide Roche with a reasonable opportunity to provide comments thereto, which Regeneron will consider in good faith. Each

For clarity, prior to the first approval of the first MAA for a Product in the EU, Roche and its Affiliates may conduct pre-clinical or non-clinical research and development activities (including technology transfer activities and preclinical evaluation of Third Party assets) on any Competing Product.
9.2Regeneron Right of First Negotiation to Chugai Asset
As of the Effective Date, Chugai has [* * *] (the “Chugai Asset”). Roche may enter into an agreement with Chugai for an option for an exclusive right and license under any Patent Rights and know-how owned or controlled by Chugai to develop, register, use, sell, market and import the Chugai Asset in [* * *] (such countries of the world, the “Chugai Asset Territory”; and such option, the “Roche Chugai Option”). Prior to Roche’s exercise of the Roche Chugai Option, Roche shall have the right to [* * *] (the “Permitted Chugai Activities”). Regeneron acknowledges and agrees that is it not a breach of Section 9.1 by Roche for Chugai to [* * *] conduct the Permitted Chugai Activities. Roche shall have the right to [* * *] Roche shall not [* * *] without the agreement of the Parties through the JOC (“Other Chugai Asset Activities”) (disputes with respect to which, for clarity, shall be subject to Section 8.1.6.3(c)).
Roche hereby grants Regeneron an exclusive option to obtain the right and sublicense under any Patent Rights and know-how owned or controlled by Chugai that Roche obtains through the exercise of the Roche Chugai Option to [* * *] and a financial interest in the commercialization of the Chugai Asset in the entire Territory, in each case, in accordance with this Section 9.2 (the “Chugai Asset Option”).
Roche shall provide Regeneron periodic updates regarding the development and characteristics of the Chugai Asset at each JOC meeting.
Without Regeneron’s consent in its discretion, Roche will not enter into any agreement with a Third Party (including, for clarity, Chugai) that would conflict with the rights that Regeneron would have with respect to the Chugai Asset if Regeneron exercises the Chugai Asset Option.
9.2.1Chugai Asset Data Package
If Roche desires to exercise the Roche Chugai Option, then after [* * *] Roche shall provide, or cause Chugai to provide, Regeneron a complete data package with respect to the Chugai Asset, including all data, reports, documentation and other information relating to the Chugai Asset, necessary or reasonably useful for the Parties to determine whether the Chugai Asset has satisfied the Chugai Asset Criteria, including the results of such Clinical Study and any other clinical or non-clinical data, all information regarding the manufacturing process (including yields), route or frequency of administration, and the proprietary position of the Chugai Asset (the “Chugai Asset Data Package”).
Within [* * *] after Regeneron receives the Chugai Asset Data Package, the Parties shall discuss in good faith and endeavor to mutually agree (a) whether or not the Chugai Asset Data Package satisfies the Chugai Asset Data Package Criteria and (b) if the Chugai Asset Data Package satisfies the Chugai Asset Data Package Criteria, then whether or not the Chugai Asset satisfies the Chugai Asset Criteria. If the Parties cannot agree within [* * *] following Regeneron’s receipt
- 48 -


of the Chugai Asset Data Package (x) whether or not the Chugai Asset Data Package satisfies the Chugai Asset Data Package Criteria, or (y) whether or not the Chugai Asset satisfies the Chugai Asset Criteria, then, in either case ((x) or (y)), such dispute shall be determined in accordance with Section 21.2, and if still not resolved, then decided by an Expert Committee pursuant to Section 21.4.
If both Parties agree, or the Executive Officers or Expert Committee, as applicable, determines that the Chugai Asset Data Package does not satisfy the Chugai Asset Data Package Criteria or that the Chugai Asset has not satisfied the Chugai Asset Criteria, then, in either case, Roche shall not exercise the Roche Chugai Option and the Chugai Asset shall remain a Competing Product for purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations set forth in Section 9.1 shall continue to apply to Roche with respect to the Chugai Asset.
Thereafter, if Roche receives any additional data or information with respect to the Chugai Asset and desires to exercise the Roche Chugai Option, Roche shall deliver to Regeneron an updated Chugai Asset Data Package, and the process set forth in this Section 9.2.1 shall apply to determine whether the updated Chugai Asset Data Package satisfies the Chugai Asset Data Package Criteria, and whether the Chugai Asset satisfies the Chugai Asset Criteria.
9.2.2Chugai Asset Agreement
If both Parties agree, or the Executive Officers or Expert Committee determines that the Chugai Asset satisfies the Chugai Asset Criteria (such agreement or determination, “Chugai Asset Positive Determination”), then Regeneron shall have the right, within [* * *] following the date on which the Chugai Asset Positive Determination is made (the “Exercise Period”), to exercise the Chugai Asset Option by providing written notice to Roche (“Exercise Notice”).
Roche shall not exercise the Roche Chugai Option until the Chugai Asset Positive Determination has been made, and either (a) Regeneron exercises the Chugai Asset Option by providing the Exercise Notice, or (b) Regeneron notifies Roche in writing that Regeneron will not exercise the Chugai Asset Option or fails to provide the Exercise Notice during the Exercise Period.
If Regeneron exercises the Chugai Asset Option by providing the Exercise Notice within the Exercise Period, then Regeneron and Roche shall, and Roche shall cause Chugai to, promptly negotiate and execute a separate license agreement (the “Chugai Asset Agreement”) or an amendment to this Agreement (the “Chugai Asset Amendment”) that is consistent with the terms and conditions set forth on Appendix 9.2 and on other terms mutually acceptable to Regeneron, Roche and Chugai, which the Parties anticipate will be substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement except as set forth on Appendix 9.2.
If (A) Regeneron notifies Roche in writing that Regeneron will not exercise the Chugai Asset Option or (B) Regeneron fails to provide the Exercise Notice during the Exercise Period, then the Chugai Asset Option shall expire. If thereafter Roche exercises the Roche Chugai Option or otherwise obtains any right to develop or commercialize the Chugai Asset, then (X) Roche shall promptly notify Regeneron of such exercise or receipt of such other right, and (Y) Regeneron shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [* * *] prior written notice to Roche, which right must be exercised within [* * *] after notice from Roche of the first commercial sale of the
- 49 -


Chugai Asset, and such termination by Regeneron shall be deemed to be a termination by Roche pursuant to Section 19.2.5 for purposes of post-termination effect and obligations.
Additionally, if the Chugai Asset receives Regulatory Approval in Japan, and the Parties have not entered into the Chugai Asset Agreement or Chugai Asset Amendment, as applicable, then upon Regeneron’s request, Roche shall immediately terminate Chugai’s sublicense with respect to the Products in Japan.
During the Agreement Term, neither Party shall have the right to develop or commercialize the Chugai Asset until the Chugai Asset Agreement or Chugai Asset Amendment is executed by the Parties and Chugai, except that (i) Roche shall have the right to conduct the Permitted Chugai Activities and Other Chugai Asset Activities approved by the JOC; (ii) if (A) Regeneron notifies Roche in writing that Regeneron will not exercise the Chugai Asset Option or (B) Regeneron fails to provide the Exercise Notice during the Exercise Period, then Roche shall thereafter have the right to develop and commercialize the Chugai Asset, and (iii) if Regeneron exercises the Chugai Asset Option by providing the Exercise Notice within the Exercise Period, then, for clarity, the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 9.2 shall remain in effect while the Parties and Chugai are negotiating the Chugai Asset Agreement or Chugai Asset Amendment, [* * *].
10.Payment
10.1Reimbursement [* * *] for Development Activities
With respect to each Co-Funded Study, the Party not performing such Co-Funded Study shall reimburse the Party performing such Co-Funded Study for [* * *] incurred by or on behalf of such performing Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with performing such Co-Funded Study (including, for clarity, such [* * *] incurred by or on behalf of Regeneron or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Additional Regeneron Studies prior to the Effective Date) to the extent such [* * *] are not funded by a Third Party. For clarity, each Party shall bear its internal costs with respect to performing any Co-Funded Study.
With respect to Co-Funded Device Development Activities, the Party not performing such Co-Funded Device Development Activities shall reimburse the Party performing such Co-Funded Device Development Activities for [* * *] incurred by or on behalf of such performing Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with performing such Device Development Activities to the extent such [* * *] are not funded by a Third Party. [* * *]
With respect to each Unilateral Study, if the Party not performing such Unilateral Study uses any data or results from such Unilateral Study to obtain, maintain or expand any Regulatory Approval or any pricing or reimbursement for, otherwise includes such data or results in the label for, or uses such data and results to commercialize, a Product in its Respective Territory, then such non-performing Party shall reimburse the Party that performed such Unilateral Study for [* * *] incurred by or on behalf of such performing Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Unilateral Study to the extent such [* * *] are not funded by a Third Party. For clarity, the submission of data and results from a Unilateral Study to a Regulatory Authority only for safety reporting purposes in connection with periodic safety reporting or as a courtesy copy shall not result in a reimbursement obligation under this paragraph. The Party not performing the applicable Unilateral Study shall promptly notify the performing Party of any use of the data or
- 50 -


results of such Unilateral Study that would result in a reimbursement obligation under this paragraph.
With respect to Unilateral Device Development Activities, if the Party not performing such Unilateral Device Development Activities wishes to use the delivery device or other results of such Unilateral Device Development Activities for a Product in its Respective Territory, then such non-performing Party shall reimburse the Party that performed such Unilateral Device Development Activities for [* * *] incurred by or on behalf of such performing Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with such Unilateral Device Development Activities to the extent such [* * *] are not funded by a Third Party, and the performing Party shall provide the results of the Unilateral Device Development Activities to the non-performing Party and such other information and assistance as is required for the non-performing Party to manufacture and use the delivery device resulting from such Unilateral Device Development Activities.
10.2Global Gross Profit Sharing
Beginning with the Calendar Quarter in which the Collaboration Timepoint occurs, with respect to each Presentation of Product, Roche Basel shall be entitled to the product of (i) [* * *] of the Global Gross Profit for such Presentation in such Calendar Quarter, multiplied by the Roche Production Contribution for such Presentation in such Calendar Quarter (“Roche Global Gross Profit”) and (ii) Regeneron will be entitled to the remainder of the Global Gross Profit; provided, that for the Calendar Quarter in which the Collaboration Timepoint occurs, for purposes of this Section 10.2 the amount of the Global Gross Profit for such Calendar Quarter shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of days in such Calendar Quarter from and after the Collaboration Timepoint and the total number of days in such Calendar Quarter.
Example:
[* * *]
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
    (a) if prior to the [* * *], Roche Basel has received all Regulatory Approvals necessary to manufacture Finished Product for commercial use in the EU but not the Regeneron Territory, Roche Basel may sell Product in the Roche Territory and, in the case of such sales, may retain [* * *] of the Global Gross Profit for the Roche Territory prior to the [* * *] (and shall provide [* * *] of such Global Gross Profits to Regeneron), [* * *]. For clarity, Roche Basel shall not be entitled to share any of the Global Gross Profit in the Regeneron Territory until Roche Basel has received all Regulatory Approvals necessary to manufacture Finished Product for commercial use in the Regeneron Territory; or
    (b) if prior to the [* * *], Roche Basel has received all Regulatory Approvals necessary to manufacture Finished Product for commercial use in the Regeneron Territory, but not the EU, [* * *], then (i) Roche shall transfer such Product to Regeneron for sale in the Regeneron Territory by Regeneron in accordance with the allocation provided in Section 5.1 following the [* * *], and Roche may, upon mutual agreement of the Parties, transfer additional Product to Regeneron for sale in the Regeneron Territory by Regeneron; and (ii) the Parties shall share the Global Gross Profits for the Regeneron Territory as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 10.2; or
- 51 -


(c) if prior to the [* * *], Roche Basel has received all Regulatory Approvals necessary to manufacture Finished Product for commercial use (X) in the EU and the Regeneron Territory, or (Y) in the Regeneron Territory but not the EU, and in either case ((X) or (Y)), [* * *], then Roche shall transfer such Product to Regeneron for sale in the Regeneron Territory by Regeneron in accordance with the allocation provided in Section 5.1 following the [* * *], and in the case of clause (Y), Roche may, upon mutual agreement of the Parties, transfer additional Product to Regeneron for sale in the Regeneron Territory by Regeneron; provided that, in either case ((X) or (Y)), [* * *], (A) Regeneron may retain [* * *] of the Global Gross Profit for the sales of Products supplied by Roche in the Regeneron Territory [* * *] and (B) [* * *].

10.3Disclosure of Payments
Each Party acknowledges that the other Party may be obligated to disclose this financial arrangement, including all fees, payments and transfers of value, as required under Applicable Law; provided, however, that any such disclosure shall be subject to the provisions of Section 18.2.
11.Accounting and Reporting
11.1Mechanics and Timing of Payments
For Global Gross Profit payments, on a Presentation-by-Presentation basis, commencing with the first Calendar Quarter after the Collaboration Timepoint or any Interim Collaboration Timepoint in which a Party incurs Net Sales (a) within [* * *] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, such Party shall share with the other Party a good faith estimate of (i) such Party’s Net Sales of such Presentation, (ii) the units of such Presentation sold by or on behalf of such Party, its Affiliates and Sublicensees in such Calendar Quarter, (iii) the units of such Presentation sold by or on behalf of such Party, its Affiliates and Sublicensees in such Calendar Quarter for which the Drug Substance was manufactured by the Roche Group (which may be determined in accordance with Appendix 1.106, if applicable), (iv) [* * *], and (v) the units of such Presentation distributed as [* * *], in each case, by or on behalf of such Party, its Affiliates and Sublicensees in such Calendar Quarter; and (b) as soon as practicable after the end of each such Calendar Quarter, but in any event no later than [* * *] after the end of each such Calendar Quarter, such Party shall share with the other Party the actual Net Sales in accordance with the foregoing subclause (i) and units dispersed in accordance with the foregoing subclauses (ii) - (v) of such Presentation, together with a calculation of such Party’s Gross Profit for such Presentation for such Calendar Quarter (each report described in this clause (b), a “Gross Profit Interim Report”). Each Party shall have [* * *] after the delivery of the other Party’s Gross Profit Interim Report to review and ask questions. Within [* * *] following the end of such Calendar Quarter, each Party shall update its Gross Profit Interim Report to reflect the final amounts and the Parties shall coordinate to aggregate the final reports to calculate the total Global Gross Profit and Roche Global Gross Profit (“Global Gross Profit Final Report”). The Party that owes
- 52 -


payment to the other Party pursuant to the Global Gross Profit Final Report shall pay such amount within [* * *] after receipt of an invoice from the Party that is due payment.
For Co-Funded Study reimbursement and Co-Funded Device Development Activities reimbursement, respectively, the Parties shall share a good faith estimate of the applicable costs incurred, within [* * *] after the end of each Calendar Quarter in which such costs are incurred. As soon as practicable after the end of each such Calendar Quarter, but in any event no later than [* * *] after the end of each such Calendar Quarter, each Party shall share with the other Party [* * *] incurred by such Party (each, a “Reconciliation Interim Report”), together with reasonable supporting documentation for such [* * *]. Each Party shall have [* * *] after the delivery of the other Party’s Reconciliation Interim Report to review and ask questions. Within [* * *] following the end of such Calendar Quarter, each Party shall update its Reconciliation Interim Report to reflect the final amounts and the Parties shall coordinate to aggregate the reports to calculate the total amount to be reimbursed under this Agreement (“Reconciliation Final Report”). The Party that owes payment to the other Party pursuant to the Reconciliation Final Report shall pay such amount within [* * *] after receipt of an invoice from the Party that is due payment.
With respect to each Unilateral Study for which reimbursement becomes due, within [* * *] after the Party that performed such Unilateral Study becomes aware that such reimbursement is due, such performing Party shall share with the other Party the [* * *] incurred by such conducting Party for such Unilateral Study (a “Unilateral Study Costs Report”), together with reasonable supporting documentation for such [* * *]. The non-performing Party shall have [* * *] after the delivery of the Unilateral Study Costs Report to review and ask questions. If the non-performing Party raises any questions to be addressed, the performing Party shall update its Unilateral Study Costs Report to reflect the final amounts within [* * *] after the delivery of the initial Unilateral Study Costs Report. The non-performing Party shall pay the performing Party the applicable amount within [* * *] after receipt of an invoice from the performing Party.
Any payments of Standard Costs for Product supplied by one Party to the other Party or for manufacturing services performed by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement shall be paid in accordance with Section 11.5.
Any payment required to be made to Regeneron by Roche pursuant to this Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 shall be made by Roche Basel.
11.2Late Payment
Any payment under this Agreement that is not paid on or before the date such payment is due shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at a rate equal to [* * *] points above the average one-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), as reported by Reuters from time to time, calculated on the number of days such payment is overdue, unless such payment amount is reasonably disputed in good faith, in which case the amount payable after such dispute is resolved shall start to earn interest hereunder on the date such dispute is resolved.
- 53 -


11.3Method of Payment
All amounts payable by one Party hereunder shall be paid by the other Party in Dollars (the “Payment Currency”) by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to account(s) designated by the other Party.
11.4Currency Conversion
In those cases where the amount due in Dollars is calculated based upon one or more currencies other than Dollars, the Party converting such amounts to Dollars shall use their respective then-current internal foreign currency translation method actually used on a consistent basis in preparing its audited financial statements. As of the Effective Date, the internal foreign currency translation method (a) for Roche, is to convert currencies other than Dollars or Swiss Francs to Swiss Francs and then to Dollars at the year-to-date average rate as reported by Reuters (or any successor thereto), and (b) for Regeneron, is to convert currencies other than Dollars to Dollars using the average of the daily spot rates (the Mid Price Close) found on Bloomberg (or any successor thereto). Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party if there is any change to its then-current internal foreign currency translation method.
11.5Reimbursement
For all amounts for which a Party (the “Owing Party”) is obligated to reimburse or pay the other Party (the “Owed Party”) pursuant to this Agreement or the Technology Transfer Agreement, for which no specific provision is provided hereunder or thereunder regarding how such payment shall be made, or any payments under Section 4.2(c), the Owed Party shall send to the Owing Party an invoice for such amount within [* * *] after the Owed Party’s determination that such amount is payable by the Owing Party, which invoice shall include a reference to the section of this Agreement under which the Owed Party is requesting reimbursement or payment and be accompanied by reasonable documentation of the incurrence or accrual of the costs to be reimbursed. Payment with respect to each such invoice shall be due within [* * *] after receipt by the Owing Party thereof and shall be made in accordance with Section 11.3 and Section 11.4.
11.6Payment Disputes
With respect to any payment obligations under this Agreement, if the Owing Party in good faith disputes any portion of any such payment, it shall pay the undisputed portion and shall provide the Owed Party with written notice of the disputed portion and its reasons therefor, and the Owing Party shall not be obligated to pay such disputed portion unless and until such dispute is resolved in favor of the Owed Party. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to resolve any such disputes promptly.
12.Taxes
12.1Certain Taxes
Regeneron shall pay all sales, turnover, income, revenue, value added, and other taxes levied on account of any payments accruing or made to Regeneron under this Agreement.
- 54 -


Roche shall pay all sales, turnover, income, revenue, value added, and other taxes levied on account of any payments accruing or made to Roche under this Agreement.
12.2Withholding Taxes
If provision is made in law or regulation of any country for withholding or deduction of taxes of any type, levies or other charges with respect to any amounts payable under this Agreement to Regeneron or Roche, then Roche or Regeneron (as applicable) shall be entitled to withhold or deduct the amount of such taxes, levies, or other charges from such amount payable and shall promptly pay such tax, levy or charge for and on behalf of Regeneron or Roche (as applicable) to the proper governmental authority, and shall promptly furnish Regeneron or Roche (as applicable) with receipt of payment. Roche or Regeneron (as applicable) shall be entitled to deduct any such tax, levy or charge actually paid from payment due Regeneron or Roche (as applicable) or be promptly reimbursed by Regeneron or Roche (as applicable) if no further payments are due to Regeneron or Roche (as applicable). Each Party agrees to reasonably assist the other Party in claiming exemption from such deductions or withholdings under double taxation or similar agreement or treaty from time to time in force and in minimizing the amount required to be so withheld or deducted. Any amounts deducted and withheld from any payment to a Party pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall be treated as having been paid to such Party.
12.3FDII Documentation
To the extent applicable and reasonably requested by Regeneron, Roche shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Regeneron with any documentation or other certifications required pursuant to Section 250(b) of the Code, and any regulations or other guidance promulgated thereunder necessary for any payments made to Regeneron pursuant to this Agreement to qualify as “foreign-derived deduction eligible income” within the meaning of Section 250(b)(4) of the Code. Regeneron shall reimburse Roche for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Roche in connection with providing such documentation or other certification to Regeneron. The Parties intend that Regeneron shall be entitled to any deduction under Section 250(b) of the Code for which Regeneron is eligible with respect to the remainder of the Global Gross Profit under Section 10.2, and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.
13.Auditing
13.1Right to Audit
Each Party shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees, if any, to keep, full, true and accurate books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating all payments payable under this Agreement (e.g. the Parties’ calculation of Standard Costs). Such books of accounts shall be kept at such Party’s, Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s, as applicable, principal place of business. At the expense of the auditing Party, the auditing Party shall have the right, in accordance with the remainder of this Section 13.1, Section 13.2 and Section 13.3, to engage an internationally recognized independent public accountant reasonably acceptable to the audited Party to perform, on behalf of the auditing Party, an audit of such books and records of the audited Party and its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees that are deemed necessary by the independent public accountant to report on the correctness of any financial report or payments made under this Agreement for the period or
- 55 -


periods requested by the auditing Party. The Parties shall cause such accountant to enter into a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement with the audited Party obligating such accountant to retain all such financial information in confidence pursuant to terms no less stringent than those set forth in Article 18.
Upon timely request and at least [* * *] prior written notice from the auditing Party, such audit shall be conducted for those countries the auditing Party has specifically requested, during regular business hours in such a manner as to not unnecessarily interfere with the audited Party’s normal business activities. Such audit shall be limited to books and records with respect to the [* * *] Calendar Years prior to audit notification, and if the auditing Party requests an audit for a country for a given Calendar Year, no additional audits may be conducted for such country for such Calendar Year unless a material discrepancy is found in such audit. If auditing Party does not request an audit for a given Calendar Year on or before the [* * *] anniversary of the end of such Calendar Year, then the auditing Party shall no longer have the right to conduct an audit for such Calendar Year under this Section 13.1.
Such audit for a country shall not be performed more frequently than once per Calendar Year nor more frequently than once with respect to records covering any specific country for any specific period of time unless a material discrepancy is found in such audit.
All books of accounts herein referred and any information contained therein shall be (a) used by the auditing Party only for the purpose of verifying payments and reports hereunder and (b) treated as the audited Party’s Confidential Information subject to the obligations of this Agreement.
13.2Audit Reports
The auditors shall only state factual findings in the audit reports and shall not interpret this Agreement. The auditors shall share all draft audit findings with the audited Party before sharing such findings with the auditing Party and before the final audit report is issued and shall remove any information reasonably identified by the audited Party as being confidential or competitively sensitive or proprietary information. The final audit report shall be shared with the audited Party at the same time it is shared with the auditing Party. The auditors shall not reveal to the auditing Party the details of its review, except for the findings of such review and such information as is required to be disclosed under this Agreement. The results of any such audit shall be final and binding upon the Parties, unless disputed by a Party within [* * *] of delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation to pay any amount based on a disputed audit shall not be deemed to have been triggered until such dispute is resolved hereunder; provided that all amounts that are not in dispute shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
13.3Over-or Underpayment
If the audit reveals an overpayment, the overpaid Party shall reimburse the other Party for the amount of the overpayment within [* * *] (and, if such overpayment was made due to an error in an invoice or report provided by such overpaid Party, with interest thereon as provided in Section 11.2). If the audit reveals an underpayment, the underpaying Party shall reimburse the other Party for the amount of the underpayment within [* * *] (and, if such additional amounts are owed due to an error in an invoice or report provided by such underpaying Party, with interest
- 56 -


thereon as provided in Section 11.2). The audited Party shall reimburse the auditing Party for the audit costs if the cumulative discrepancy of amounts reported or paid during the applicable audited period exceeds [* * *].
14.Intellectual Property
14.1Ownership of Intellectual Property
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the ownership of any Patent Rights, know-how or other intellectual property, in each case, developed prior to the Effective Date or independent of this Agreement, including, for clarity, Roche Independent IP. Regeneron shall own all Regeneron Inventions and all Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights that Cover the Regeneron Inventions. Roche shall own all Roche Inventions and all Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights that Cover the Roche Inventions. Regeneron and Roche shall jointly own all Joint Inventions and Joint Patent Rights. Regeneron and Roche each shall require, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to require (a) all of its (or its Affiliates’) employees and consultants to assign all inventions related to Compounds or Products made by them to Roche or Regeneron (or such Affiliate), as the case may be and (b) all other persons or entities who perform any activities for or on behalf of such Party to assign (or, if such Party is unable to cause such person or entity to agree to such assignment obligation despite such Party’s using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate such assignment obligation, provide an exclusive license under) their rights in any such Inventions or Patent Rights to such Party.
Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party in writing, the discovery, development or creation of any Invention made solely or jointly by or on behalf of such Party, any of its Affiliates, or, if applicable, Sublicensees in connection with the performance of obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall promptly disclose to the other and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to disclose any Know-How made solely or jointly by or on behalf of such Party or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees in connection with the performance of obligations under this Agreement that constitutes an improvement to the process of manufacturing the Compounds or Products.
The determination of inventorship for Inventions shall be in accordance with US inventorship laws as if such Inventions were made in the US.
Subject to the licenses granted under this Agreement and Roche’s obligation under Article 9, Regeneron and Roche will each have an equal undivided share in the Joint Patent Rights, without obligation to account to the other for exploitation thereof, or to seek consent of the other Party for the grant of any license thereunder.
Except as specifically set forth herein, this Agreement shall not be construed as (i) giving either of the Parties any license, right, title, interest in or ownership to the Confidential Information of the other Party; (ii) granting any license or right under any intellectual property rights; or (iii) representing any commitment by either Party to enter into any additional agreement, by implication or otherwise.
With respect to Know-How (other than Inventions) generated pursuant to this Agreement, (a) Regeneron shall own such Know-How (i) generated by or on behalf of Regeneron or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees solely or jointly with a Third Party or (ii) generated by or on behalf of
- 57 -


the Roche Group solely or jointly with Regeneron or any of its Affiliates or a Third Party that is specifically related to any Product (including the composition of, formulations containing, any methods of using, or the manufacture of, a Product) ((i) and (ii) together, “Arising Regeneron Know-How”), (b) Roche shall own such Know-How generated by or on behalf of the Roche Group solely or jointly with a Third Party, excluding any Arising Regeneron Know-How, and (c) the Parties shall jointly own any Joint Know-How. For clarity, Arising Regeneron Know-How shall not include any Roche Independent IP or any Know-How of general applicability to antibody products and not specific to the Product. For example, Know-How that can be applied to purification of antibodies generally but not specific to manufacturing of a Compound or Product shall not be considered Arising Regeneron Know-How.
Each Party shall, and does hereby, assign, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees, as applicable, to so assign, to the other Party, without additional compensation, such right, title and interest in and to any Inventions, Know-How, Patent Rights or other intellectual property rights as is necessary to fully effect, as applicable, the sole or joint ownership provided for in this Section 14.1. Pursuant to Section 21.18, each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such applications, approvals, assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, and shall provide any additional consents, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request for a Party to perfect or exercise its rights provided for in this Section 14.1.
Roche here grants Regeneron a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license under any Arising Roche Manufacturing IP for any and all purposes. “Arising Roche Manufacturing IP” shall mean any Inventions, Know-How, Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights arising under this Agreement generated by or on behalf of the Roche Group solely or jointly with Regeneron or any of its Affiliates or a Third Party that is related to Regeneron’s manufacturing process for a Product and that does not constitute Arising Regeneron Invention, Arising Regeneron Know-How or a Patent Right that Covers any Arising Regeneron Invention or Arising Regeneron Know-How (which Patent Rights, for clarity, shall be owned by Regeneron). For clarity, Roche shall own any Arising Roche Manufacturing IP.
14.2Inventions Made by Employees, Subcontractors and Services Providers
In accordance with any Applicable Law regarding employee’s inventions, each Party agrees to claim the ownership or exclusive and unlimited use of any Invention conceived, reduced to practice, developed, made or created in the performance of, or as a result of, any activities under or in connection with this Agreement by employees of such Party or its applicable Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party, or its Affiliates (as applicable) is responsible for fulfilling the obligations towards its or their respective employees under any Applicable Law providing for compensation to employees for inventions.
Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, obtain an assignment from subcontractors or service providers to such Party or its applicable Affiliates or Sublicensees of all Inventions related to a Product made by such individuals during the course of and as a result of their performance under this Agreement.
- 58 -


14.3Trademarks and Labeling

Roche shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Regeneron, Regeneron’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“Regeneron Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, expenses, cost of defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, witness fees, damages, taxes, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) (collectively, “Losses”) in connection with any and all suits, investigations, claims or demands of Third Parties (collectively, “Claims”) arising from or occurring as a result of (a) the breach of this Agreement or the Supply Agreement by Roche or any of its Affiliates, if applicable, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Roche Indemnitee or a Sublicensee of Roche in performing its or their obligations under this Agreement, (c) any regulatory activities conducted by Regeneron or its Affiliates to assist Roche to obtain Regulatory Approval for a Product (other than the First Approval Activities) in the Roche Territory pursuant to Section 6.1.2, or (d) any employee of Roche or its Affiliates who is involved in the development or commercialization of the Compounds or the Products being Debarred, except, in the case of (a) and (b), to the extent Regeneron has an obligation to indemnify Roche for Losses pursuant to Section 16.2, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other Party to the extent of their respective liability for such Losses.
16.2Indemnification by Regeneron
Regeneron shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Roche, Roche’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“Roche Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses in connection with any and all Claims arising from or occurring as a result of (a) the breach of this Agreement or the Supply Agreement by Regeneron or any of its Affiliates, if applicable, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Regeneron Indemnitee or a Sublicensee of Regeneron in performing its or their obligations under this Agreement, or (c) any employee of Regeneron or its Affiliates who is involved in the development or commercialization of the Compounds or the Products being Debarred, except, in each case ((a) and (b)), to the extent Roche has an obligation to indemnify Regeneron for Losses pursuant to Section 16.1, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for such Losses.
- 72 -


16.3No Fault Claims
With respect to any Claim arising out of or related to the research, development, seeking and obtaining Regulatory Approval for, making, using, importing or exporting of the Compounds or Products under this Agreement that is not subject to indemnification under Section 16.1 or Section 16.2 and is not subject to Section 14.13 (each, a “No Fault Claim”), (a) the provisions of Section 16.4 shall not apply with respect to the defense of such No Fault Claim and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to establish a mutually agreeable strategy with respect to defending such No Fault Claim, including whether to settle any such No Fault Claim and (b) [* * *]. For clarity, neither Party shall settle any No Fault Claim without the other Party’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
16.4Indemnification Procedure
All indemnification claims in respect of a Regeneron Indemnitee or a Roche Indemnitee shall be made solely by Regeneron or Roche, as applicable (each of Regeneron or Roche in such capacity, the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party (“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Claim, and any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 16.1 or Section 16.2 (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”).
With respect to each Claim, the obligations of the Indemnifying Party shall be governed by and contingent upon the following:
(a)At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Claim by notifying the Indemnified Party in writing within [* * *] after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party or its Indemnitees, in respect of such Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s or its Indemnitees’ claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint the lead counsel in the defense of such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnitees in connection with the Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, except as provided in subsection (b) below, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party or any of its Indemnitees in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of such Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the Indemnifying Party. If it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party or its Indemnitees from and against the Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the Claim.
(b)The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of a Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense unless (i) the employment thereof, and the assumption by the Indemnifying Party of such cost and expense, have been specifically requested in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party
- 73 -


has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 16.4(a) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense) or (iii) the interests of the applicable Indemnitees and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both entities under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control its defense).
(c)With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Claim and that shall not result in the applicable Indemnitee becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affecting the business of the applicable Indemnitee in any manner and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Losses in connection with any Claim, if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Claim in accordance with Section 16.3, the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss; provided it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party controls the defense of a Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(d)Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party and Indemnitees of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Claim and making Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
(e)Except as provided above, the Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim shall be reimbursed on a Calendar Quarter basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party or its Indemnitees.
17.Liability
EXCEPT FOR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF A PARTY UNDER ARTICLE 16, BREACHES OF CONFIDENTIALITY IN ARTICLE 18, BREACHES OF ARTICLE 9, GRANT BY EITHER PARTY OF A LICENSE IN BREACH OF THE Exclusive license granted BY IT under Section 2.1(IV) or Section 2.4(IV), GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, AND ANY OTHER LIABILITY TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM THE
- 74 -


OTHER PARTY ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF REVENUE, OR LOST OPPORTUNITY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER REGARDLESS OF ANY PRIOR NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.
18.Obligation Not to Disclose Confidential Information
18.1Non-Use and Non-Disclosure
During the Agreement Term and for [* * *] thereafter, a Receiving Party shall (a) treat Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as strictly confidential and with similar care as it would treat its own information of a similar nature, and (b) not use such Confidential Information other than for fulfilling its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement; provided that with respect to any Confidential Information that is specifically identified as a trade secret, or that the other Party has reason to know is a trade secret under Applicable Law, such obligations shall survive until such Confidential Information is no longer a trade secret under Applicable Law.
The Receiving Party covenants that neither it nor any of its respective Affiliates shall disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party (or its Affiliates) to any Third Party except (i) to its employees, agents, consultants or any other person under its authorization; provided that such employees, agents, consultants or persons are subject in writing to substantially the same confidentiality obligations as the Parties, (ii) as approved by both Parties hereunder, (iii) Third Parties to the extent reasonably necessary to market the Product in the Territory; provided that such Third Parties are subject in writing to substantially the same confidentiality obligations as the Parties under this Agreement, (iv) to permitted potential and actual Sublicensees or subcontractors; provided that such permitted potential and actual Sublicensees or subcontractors are subject in writing to substantially the same confidentiality obligations as the Parties under this Agreement, or (v) as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement; provided that the exceptions in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) shall not apply with respect to Proprietary Manufacturing Information.
18.2Permitted Disclosure
Notwithstanding the obligation of confidentiality, non-use and non-disclosure set forth in Section 18.1 but subject to Section 18.3, the Parties recognize the need for certain exceptions to this obligation, and each Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that such disclosure is:
(a)made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other supra-national, federal, national, regional, state, provincial or local governmental or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction or, if in the reasonable opinion of the Receiving Party’s legal counsel, such disclosure is otherwise required by Applicable Law, including by reason of filing with securities regulators; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall first have given notice to the Disclosing Party and given the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order or to obtain a protective order or confidential treatment; provided, further, that the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such order or as required by Applicable Law shall be limited to that information that is legally required to be disclosed in response to such order or by such Applicable Law;
- 75 -


(b)made by or on behalf of the Receiving Party to the Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information to the extent practicable and consistent with Applicable Law;
(c)made to a US government agency or contractor in connection with performance of a US government agreement or sub-agreement (provided that appropriate markings to protect Confidential Information pursuant to US government regulations are applied to Confidential Information to the extent applicable); provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information to the extent practicable and consistent with Applicable Law; or
(d)with respect to Joint Know-How, made by either Party or its Affiliates as may be necessary or useful in connection with the exploitation of any product that is not a Competing Product in the Territory.
18.3Proprietary Manufacturing Information
Without limitation of any of the foregoing, Roche shall adopt and implement reasonable firewall procedures to prevent the disclosure of and use of Proprietary Manufacturing Information beyond the persons who are required to receive such information in order to manufacture the Products or to prepare, submit, obtain or maintain Regulatory Approvals for the Products in the Field in the Roche Territory in accordance with this Agreement (and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less stringent than those provided in this Agreement), including by establishing reasonable physical and electronic safeguards, segregating all Proprietary Manufacturing Information from its own information or materials or that of others (including Affiliates) in order to prevent commingling; not copying or otherwise duplicating any embodiments of the Proprietary Manufacturing Information, except as necessary to manufacture the Products or to prepare, submit, obtain or maintain Regulatory Approvals for the Products in the Field in the Roche Territory in accordance with this Agreement (provided that any such copies or duplications of such Proprietary Manufacturing Information shall be marked “confidential,” “proprietary”, or the like); and notifying Regeneron immediately, and cooperating with Regeneron as Regeneron may reasonably request, upon any discovery of any loss or compromise of Proprietary Manufacturing Information.
[* * *]
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, if Roche or any of its Affiliates receives a request for any Proprietary Manufacturing Information from any governmental authority under any freedom of information law, including the United States Freedom of Information Act or the State Council Regulations on Open Government Information, then Roche shall (i) notify Regeneron of such request within [* * *], (ii) permit Regeneron or any of its Affiliates to oppose such request or to seek other limitations on such request, in each case, to the extent consistent with the Applicable Law and (iii) provide Regeneron with reasonable assistance in opposing such request or seeking such limitations. Roche shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, disclose any Proprietary Manufacturing Information to any governmental authority in response to a request under any freedom of information law without Regeneron’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
- 76 -


provided that Regeneron acknowledges and agrees that it would be unreasonable for it to not consent to any disclosure if such lack of disclosure would cause Roche or any of its Affiliates to violate Applicable Law.
Any Regeneron Confidential Information (as the term is defined in the Technology Transfer Agreement) that constitutes Proprietary Manufacturing Information shall be governed by the applicable terms under this Agreement.
18.4Press Releases; Use of Name
The Parties shall mutually agree on the content of any press releases, and shall coordinate on the initial press release promptly after the Effective Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the issuing Party’s counsel, required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the issuing Party (or any parent entity thereof) are listed, neither Party shall issue any other public announcement or press release or make any other public disclosure regarding this Agreement, its terms or its subject matter without the other Party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Regeneron shall be responsible for, and shall have the final decision-making authority on any press releases for any Ongoing Regeneron Studies.
The restrictions imposed by this Section 18.4 shall not prohibit either Party from making any disclosure if, in the opinion of the counsel of the Party making such disclosure, such disclosure is required by Applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the first Party, provided, that such Party shall submit the proposed disclosure to the other Party in advance (and in no event less than [* * *] prior to the anticipated date of disclosure) so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon, and shall consider the other Party’s comments in good faith.
Except as expressly provided herein or required by Applicable Law, neither Party shall use the name, logo or trademark of the other Party or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their Sublicensees (or any abbreviation or adaptation thereof) in any publication, press release, marketing and promotional material or other form of publicity without the prior written approval of such other Party.
18.5Publications
During the Agreement Term, the following restrictions shall apply with respect to disclosure by any Party of Confidential Information relating to the Compounds or Products in any publication or presentation:
(a)With respect to publications or presentations relating to Co-Funded Studies where Roche is involved in operationalizing the Co-Funded Study and for other joint publications or presentations, the Parties will work together in good faith to co-author such publication or presentation, and will mutually agree in good faith on all aspects of such publication or presentation, including without limitation the content of the publication or presentation and the timing and manner of its publication or presentation. If the Parties cannot reach agreement, then the Party that sponsors, or is primarily responsible for operationalizing, the Co-Funded Study will make the final determination on all aspects of such publication or presentation except with respect to disclosure of an invention, solely or jointly conceived or
- 77 -


reduced to practice by the other Party, or the Confidential Information of the other Party (other than the results of the Co-Funded Study).
(b)With respect to publications or presentations relating to Co-Funded Studies where Roche is not involved in operationalizing the Co-Funded Study (including, for clarity, the Additional Regeneron Studies), Regeneron shall provide Roche with a copy of such proposed publication or presentation at least [* * *] (or at least [* * *] in the case of oral presentations) prior to submission for publication so as to provide Roche with an opportunity to recommend any changes it reasonably believes are necessary to continue to maintain the Confidential Information disclosed by Roche to Regeneron in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The incorporation of such recommended changes shall not be unreasonably refused; and if Roche notifies (“Roche Publishing Notice”) Regeneron in writing, within [* * *] after receipt of the copy of the proposed publication or presentation (or at least [* * *] in the case of oral presentations), that such publication or presentation in its reasonable judgment (i) contains an invention, solely or jointly conceived or reduced to practice by Roche, for which Roche reasonably desires to obtain patent protection, in which case Regeneron shall delay such publication for a mutually agreeable period of time not to exceed [* * *] from the date of the Roche Publishing Notice; or (ii) contains Confidential Information of Roche (other than the results of any Co-Funded Study), in which case, Regeneron shall, upon Roche’s request, remove from the publication such information.
(c)With respect to publications or presentations related to Unilateral Studies or other unilateral publications or presentations by a Party relating to the Compounds or Products, subject to Section 18.5(d), the Party proposing such publication or presentation (“Publishing Party”) shall provide the other Party with a copy of such proposed publication or presentation at least [* * *] (or at least [* * *] in the case of oral presentations) prior to submission for publication so as to provide such other Party with an opportunity to recommend any changes it reasonably believes are necessary to continue to maintain the Confidential Information disclosed by the other Party to the Publishing Party in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The incorporation of such recommended changes shall not be unreasonably refused; and if such other Party notifies ("Publishing Notice") the Publishing Party in writing, within [* * *] after receipt of the copy of the proposed publication or presentation (or at least [* * *] in the case of oral presentations), that such publication or presentation in its reasonable judgment; (i) contains an invention, solely or jointly conceived or reduced to practice by the other Party, for which the other Party reasonably desires to obtain patent protection, in which case the Publishing Party shall delay such publication for a mutually agreeable period of time not to exceed [* * *] from the date of the Publishing Notice; or (ii) contains Confidential Information of such other Party (other than the results of any Clinical Study conducted under this Agreement, if applicable), in which case, the Publishing Party shall, upon the other Party’s request, remove from the publication such information. In the case of publications or presentations by Roche relating to a Roche Unilateral Study, Roche agrees to include authors from Regeneron in such publication or presentation.
(d)The obligations under Section 18.5(c) shall not apply to any publications or presentations by Regeneron or any of its Affiliates related to activities conducted with respect to the Compounds or Products prior to the Effective Date, and Regeneron shall provide Roche an advance copy of any such publications or presentations.

19.Term and Termination
19.1Commencement and Term
This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and continue for the Agreement Term (which, for clarity, includes any extension agreed by the Parties).
19.2Termination
19.2.1Termination for Breach
A Party (“Non-Breaching Party”) shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety in the event the other Party (“Breaching Party”) is in breach of any of its material obligations under this Agreement. The Non-Breaching Party shall provide written notice to the Breaching Party, which notice shall identify in reasonable detail the facts underlying or constituting the alleged breach. The Breaching Party shall have a period of [* * *] after such written notice is provided (“Peremptory Notice Period”) to cure such breach. If the Breaching Party has a bona fide dispute as to whether such breach occurred or has been cured, it will so notify the Non-Breaching Party, and the expiration of the Peremptory Notice Period shall be tolled until such bona fide dispute is resolved pursuant to Section 21.2. Upon a determination of breach or failure to cure, the Breaching Party may have the remainder of the Peremptory Notice Period to cure such breach. If such breach is not cured within the Peremptory Notice Period, then absent withdrawal of the Non-Breaching Party’s request for termination, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety effective as of the expiration of the Peremptory Notice Period. A Party’s failure to meet the Minimum Committed Regeneron Capacity or the Minimum Committed Roche Capacity, as the case may be, shall be considered a breach of a material obligation by such Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Regeneron’s rights with respect to Roche’s breach of its diligence obligations set forth in Section 6.2 or Section 7.3 shall be subject to Section 19.2.2(a) and Section 19.2.2(b).
19.2.2Termination for Roche Diligence Breach or Failure to Commercialize
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
(a)Roche’s breach of its regulatory diligence obligation set forth in Section 6.2 or its commercialization diligence obligations set forth in Section 7.3 with respect to a Roche Major Country will not give Regeneron the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety and will give Regeneron the right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such Roche Major Country.
(b)Roche’s breach of its regulatory diligence obligation set forth in Section 6.2 or its commercialization diligence obligations set forth in Section 7.3 with respect to the ROW, taken as a whole, will not give Regeneron the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety and will give Regeneron the right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to the ROW.
(c)If, after [* * *] following the First Commercial Sale of the Lead Product in any country in the EU or the United Kingdom, Roche is not commercializing any Product in a country in the Roche Territory, and upon Regeneron’s written inquiry to the Roche Chair of the JOC, confirms in writing that it has no plans to commercialize any Product in such country, or
- 79 -


does not provide Regeneron within [* * *] after receiving such inquiry from Regeneron with a reasonable written plan to commercialize a Product in such country during the Agreement Term, and Regeneron in good faith plans to commercialize the Product in such country, then Regeneron shall have the right to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to such country immediately upon written notice to Roche.
The notice requirement and opportunity to dispute and cure a breach as set forth in the second through fifth sentences of Section 19.2.1 above shall apply to any termination pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 19.2.2, provided that Regeneron’s right to terminate will be limited as set forth in this Section.
19.2.3Insolvency
A Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, if the other Party incurs an Insolvency Event; provided, however, in the case of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, such right to terminate shall only become effective if the Party that incurs the Insolvency Event consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or such proceeding is not dismissed within [* * *] after the filing thereof.
19.2.4Termination by Roche for Technical Failure
If (i) both of the first two Ongoing Regeneron Studies listed in Appendix 1.73 are placed on clinical hold by the FDA or EMA that continues for thirty (30) days, unless Regeneron is undertaking reasonable actions to have either such clinical hold removed, in which case if such hold continues for ninety (90) days, (ii) the Lead Product has not received an Emergency Use Authorization prior to May 31, 2021, (iii) Regeneron has not filed for full Regulatory Approval of the Lead Product in the US prior to May 31, 2021, or (iv) Regeneron terminates further development of the Lead Product, then Roche shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, provided in each case, such notice of termination is delivered by Roche within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the condition giving rise to the right of termination.
19.2.5Termination by Roche due to [* * *] Third Party Product
If a Third Party Antibody product targeting SARS-CoV-2 in form of a single Antibody or a cocktail of at least two Antibodies is [* * *] the safety and efficacy profile of such Third Party Antibody product confers a substantial public health benefit over the Lead Product [* * *] (an “Alternative Third Party Product”), then Roche shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon (a) sixty (60) days prior written notice at any time if such notice is given prior the First Commercial Sale of the Lead Product in the Territory; or (b) six (6) months prior written notice at any time if such notice is given after First Commercial Sale of the Lead Product in the Territory; provided, that, with respect to the Chugai Asset as the Alternative Product, Roche shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 19.2.5 unless Regeneron has notified Roche in writing that Regeneron will not exercise the Chugai Asset Option or Regeneron does not provide the Exercise Notice during the Exercise Period.
If the Parties cannot agree on whether the safety and efficacy profile of an Alternative Third Party Product confers a substantial public health benefit over the Lead Product in either treatment or prophylactic use, such matter shall be determined in accordance with Section 21.2, and if still not resolved, then decided by an Expert Committee pursuant to Section 21.4, and
- 80 -


Roche shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 19.2.5 unless and until such Expert Committee determines that the safety and efficacy profile of such Alternative Third Party Product confers a substantial public health benefit over the Lead Product in either treatment or prophylactic use.
19.3Consequences of Expiration or Termination
19.3.1Transfer of Products
Upon the expiration or earlier termination for any reason of this Agreement, the rights and licenses granted by each Party to the other under this Agreement shall terminate in their entirety, on the effective date of expiration or termination, as applicable, subject to Regeneron’s rights in Section 19.3.1(c).
Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, if Regeneron desires to continue development or commercialization of Product(s), Regeneron shall give a Continuation Election Notice to Roche within [* * *] of Regeneron’s notice of termination (in the event of termination by Regeneron) or receipt of Roche’s notice of termination (in the event of termination by Roche). If Roche receives such a timely Continuation Election Notice, and to the extent requested by Regeneron and consistent with ensuring a smooth and orderly transition to Regeneron or its designee, Roche shall perform the following activities (the “Roche Transfer Activities”):
(a)Roche shall assign and transfer to Regeneron or its designee all regulatory filings and approvals, regulatory communications, all final pre-clinical and Clinical Study reports and Clinical Study protocols, Product Trademarks and all data, including clinical data, in Roche’s possession or control related to all Product(s).

(b)Roche shall assign to Regeneron or its designee agreements between Roche or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and any Third Party on the other hand (including such agreements with CROs, CMOs or distributors) to the extent relating to the Product(s), provided that, with respect to any such Third Party agreement entered into by Roche or any of its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date, to the extent that the assignment by Roche requires any notice to or consent of the relevant Third Party counterparty to such agreement, or requires the separation of such agreement into an agreement that is retained by Roche or any of its Affiliates and an agreement that is assignable to (or entered into by) Regeneron, as applicable, (i) Roche shall use reasonable efforts to give such notice, or (ii) the Parties will reasonably cooperate to (A) obtain such consent or (B) at the request and with the reasonable assistance of Roche, negotiate such separation, in each case ((i) and (ii)), as soon as practicable, provided that neither Roche nor any of its Affiliates shall agree to any material undertakings in connection therewith, and until such assignment is executed, the Parties will reasonably cooperate to provide Regeneron the benefits under such agreement to the extent applicable to the rights to be assigned to Regeneron, provided further that Regeneron will be responsible for all payments under such agreement to the extent applicable to the benefits provided to Regeneron with respect to the Product(s), and any payments required by such Third Party as pursuant to any such agreement to secure such consent.
- 81 -


(c)Roche shall grant and hereby grants (effective as of expiration or termination of this Agreement) to Regeneron a non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicenseable (through multiple tiers) license under the Roche Independent IP, Roche Patent Rights, Roche Know-How, and Roche’s interest in the Joint Patent Rights and Joint Know-How, to the extent necessary or reasonably useful to allow Regeneron, its Affiliates or licensees to develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, offer to sell, sell, promote, export and import the applicable Product(s) in the Territory, provided that, if Roche identifies in writing to Regeneron that any Roche Independent IP, Roche Patent Rights or Roche Know-How granted to Regeneron under this Section 19.3.1(c) is under a Third Party agreement between Roche or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and any Third Party on the other hand, and if such Third Party agreement is not assigned to Regeneron pursuant to Section 19.3.1(b), then Regeneron shall be responsible for the payment obligations under such Third Party agreement to the extent related to any Product(s) sold on or after the expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided, that the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the financials terms for any such license under the Roche Independent IP, taking into account the value of such Roche Independent IP. If the Parties are unable to agree on such financial terms, such dispute shall be submitted for resolution by a Third Party expert jointly selected by the Parties.

21.3Equitable Relief
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the restrictions on the Parties under Article 9 and Article 18 are special, unique and of extraordinary character, that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement absent the restrictions set forth in Article 9 and Article 18, and that if any Party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 or Article 18, such refusal or failure may result in irreparable injury to the other Party, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain or estimate and the remedies at law for which would not be reasonable or adequate compensation.

- 86 -


21.4Expert Committee
If, after escalation to the Executive Officers in accordance with Section 21.2, the Parties are unable to agree on whether (a) the safety and efficacy profile of an Alternative Third Party Product confers a substantial public health benefit over the Lead Product in either treatment or prophylactic use settings, (b) whether or not the Chugai Asset Data Package satisfies the Chugai Asset Data Package Criteria, (c) if the Chugai Asset Data Package satisfies the Chugai Asset Data Package Criteria, then whether or not the Chugai Asset satisfies the Chugai Asset Criteria, (d) whether or not an Additional Compound Data Package satisfies the Additional Compound Data Package Criteria, or (e) whether or not an Additional Compound or a Back-Up Compound, as applicable, satisfies the Additional Compound Criteria (each of (a) - (e), an “Expert Matter”), then any such Expert Matter shall be decided by the following procedure. Roche will select one (1) individual who would qualify as an Expert, Regeneron will select (1) individual who would qualify as an Expert, and those two (2) individuals shall select one (1) individual who would qualify as an Expert and who shall be chairperson of a committee of the three Experts (the “Expert Committee”), each Expert with a single deciding vote. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to form the Expert Committee within [* * *] after expiration of the Executive Officers’ negotiation period. The Expert Committee will promptly (but no more than [* * *] after the appointment of the third (3rd) Expert) hold a meeting to review the issue under review and will provide the Parties with at least [* * *] notice of such meeting. At such meeting, the Expert Committee will consider memoranda submitted by each Party at least [* * *] before the meeting, as well as reasonable presentations that each Party may present at the meeting.

21.5Assignment
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Party shall have the right to assign this Agreement or any part hereof or any of the rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Party except (a) in whole or in part to an Affiliate of the assigning Party, or (b) in whole to any Third Party who acquires all or substantially all of the business of the assigning Party by merger, sale of assets or otherwise; provided that the assigning Party shall remain primarily liable hereunder with respect to any assignment under this clause (b) with respect to obligations and liabilities relating to the period prior to such assignment, and in each case ((a) and (b)), so long as such Affiliate or Third Party agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Roche Basel shall not assign its rights under this Agreement or any part thereof to any US Person without the prior written consent of Regeneron. Any attempted assignment in violation hereof shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

21.6Affiliates
Each Party may perform its obligations under this Agreement through one or more of its Affiliates. Each Party absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the other Party the prompt and timely performance of the responsibilities, liabilities, covenants, warranties, agreements and undertakings of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Party shall cause or permit any of its Affiliates to commit any act (including any act or omission) which such Party is prohibited hereunder from committing directly.
21.7Independent Contractor
No employee or representative of either Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s prior written approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties’ legal relationship under this Agreement shall be that of independent contractors, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, agency or fiduciary relationship between the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the Parties, any of their Affiliates, or any third party to treat the relationship between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement as a partnership, joint venture or other business entity under US federal, state, local, or non-US tax law, and the Parties shall not take any position, on a tax return or otherwise, inconsistent therewith. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its obligations hereunder without charge or expense to the other Party except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.
21.8Unenforceable Provisions and Severability
If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable at law or in equity, then such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, and the Parties shall consult and use all reasonable efforts to agree upon, and hereby agree and consent to, replacement legal, valid and enforceable provisions that will achieve as far as possible the intentions of the Parties (including the economic benefits and rights contemplated herein) while avoiding any unjust enrichment of either Party. However, the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, provided that the material interests of the Parties are not affected, i.e. the Parties would presumably have concluded this Agreement without the unenforceable provisions.
21.9Force Majeure
Except for payment obligations, each Party shall be excused from any failure or delay in performance required hereunder (and any liability or responsibility for such failure or delay) to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from any catastrophes or other major events beyond its reasonable control, including, embargoes, acts of terrorism, civil commotions, acts of God, disease, pandemics, lockouts or other labor disturbances, war, riot, and insurrection; laws, proclamations, edicts, ordinances, or regulations; strikes, lockouts, or other serious labor disputes; and floods, fires, explosions, or other natural disasters. When such events have abated, such Party’s obligations hereunder will resume. The affected Party will notify the other Party of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical and
- 88 -


will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of such force majeure circumstances.
21.10Waiver
The failure by either Party to require strict performance or observance of any obligation, term, provision or condition under this Agreement will neither constitute a waiver thereof nor affect in any way the right of the respective Party to require such performance or observance. The waiver by either Party of a breach of any obligation, term, provision or condition hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof or of any other obligation, term, provision or condition. No delay or omission by a Party in exercising or availing itself of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude the later exercise of any such right, power or privilege by such Party. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing with specific reference to the relevant provision(s) of this Agreement and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party granting the waiver.
