DUBLIN, April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Alkermes plc (Nasdaq: ALKS) today announced that on April 19, 2023 it received a second interim award (the “Second Interim Award”) from the arbitral tribunal (the “Tribunal”) in its arbitration proceedings in respect of two license agreements with Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. (“Janssen”), a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. Pursuant to the Second Interim Award: - Back royalties related to fiscal year 2022 of approximately $194 million (inclusive of interest) are due to Alkermes from Janssen under the two agreements. - A separate Know-How Royalty (as defined in the applicable license agreement) term applies for each of INVEGA SUSTENNA®, INVEGA TRINZA® and INVEGA HAFYERA®, as follows:
- Royalties for CABENUVA® in the U.S. are owed until Dec. 31, 2036. The Tribunal directed the parties to confer and advise within 21 days concerning the rate of interest and proposed further proceedings, including whether any issues remain for resolution by the Tribunal prior to the Tribunal’s issuance of a final award. The Second Interim Award follows the Interim Award issued by the Tribunal on Dec. 21, 2022, in which the Tribunal found that, while Janssen may terminate the license agreements, it may not continue to sell Products (as defined in the license agreements) developed during the term of the license agreements without paying royalties pursuant to the terms of the respective agreements. In accordance with the license agreements, the arbitration is being conducted pursuant to the Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR) Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators.
