Antares Pharma, Inc. announced that it has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell the worldwide rights, including certain fixed assets, for the ZOMAJET™ needle-free auto injector device to Ferring Pharmaceuticals (“Ferring”) for up to $14.5 million. The purchase price will be paid in four instalments consisting of a $2.0 million upfront payment, a second instalment of $2.75 million payable upon satisfaction of certain conditions, a third instalment of $4.75 million payable upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the remaining payment of $5.0 million upon the completion of the transaction.

To date, Antares has been the worldwide supplier of ZOMAJET™ devices to its partners Ferring and JCR Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. and will continue to manufacture and supply the devices until the completion date pursuant to existing supply arrangements. During the completion period, Antares will continue to receive payment for ZOMAJET™ devices manufactured and supplied to its partners and a royalty on net product sales in accordance with the existing license and supply agreements. The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and expected to be completed by the end of 2018.

“Today’s announcement represents another milestone in executing on our long-term strategic plan. We are very pleased that Ferring has purchased the ZOMAJET business in order to consolidate the ZOMACTON franchise,” said Robert F. Apple, President and Chief Executive Officer of Antares. “The sale of a non-core legacy asset which represented approximately $5.5 million annual revenue in the past three years, will allow Antares to better focus its resources on several key strategic objectives which we believe may increase shareholder value. The transaction with Ferring generates additional non-dilutive cash which Antares intends to use to invest in our pipeline in addition to supporting the potential launch of our next proprietary product, XYOSTED. The XYOSTED New Drug Application is currently under active review at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and we are working
closely with the FDA toward a potential approval in October.”
