XOMA Acquires Cashflow-Generating Asset for its Royalty and Milestone Portfolio

EMERYVILLE, Calif., March 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XOMA Corporation (NASDAQ: XOMA), announced today it has acquired the commercial payment and a portion of the milestone rights to IXINITY® [coagulation factor IX (recombinant)], which is marketed by Medexus Pharmaceuticals for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes and postoperative management in people with Hemophilia B, from Aptevo Therapeutics. 

“Adding a new commercial payment stream will benefit XOMA’s shareholders as we build our base of consistent incoming cash flows to help accelerate our royalty aggregation strategy,” stated Brad Sitko, Chief Investment Officer at XOMA.  “IXINITY has an established niche in the Hemophilia B treatment paradigm, with near-term potential opportunities for growth, including label and geographic expansion.”

Under the terms of the agreement, XOMA has acquired the full commercial payment stream and a portion of Aptevo’s milestone rights related to IXINITY for $9.6 million.  In the second quarter of 2023, XOMA will begin receiving a mid-single digit percentage payment stream on all IXINITY sales from January 1, 2023, into the first quarter of 2035 and also will be entitled to milestone payments.

Forward-Looking Statements/Explanatory Notes
Certain statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the timing and amount of potential commercial payments to XOMA and other developments related to IXINITY®, and the potential of XOMA’s portfolio of partnered programs and licensed technologies generating substantial milestone and royalty proceeds over time.  In some cases, you can identify such forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “seek,” “project,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could” or “should,” the negative of these terms or similar expressions.  These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of XOMA’s performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements.  These statements are based on assumptions that may not prove accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to certain risks inherent in the biotechnology industry, including those related to the fact that our product candidates subject to out-license agreements are still being developed, and our licensees may require substantial funds to continue development which may not be available; we do not know whether there will be, or will continue to be, a viable market for the products in which we have an ownership or royalty interest; if the therapeutic product candidates to which we have a royalty interest do not receive regulatory approval, our third-party licensees will not be able to market them; and the impact to the global economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Other potential risks to XOMA meeting these expectations are described in more detail in XOMA's most recent filing on Form 10-K and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Consider such risks carefully when considering XOMA's prospects.  Any forward-looking statement in this press release represents XOMA's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date.  XOMA disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law.

EXPLANATORY NOTE: Any references to “portfolio” in this press release refer strictly to milestone and/or royalty rights associated with a basket of drug products in development.  Any references to “assets” in this press release refer strictly to milestone and/or royalty rights associated with individual drug products in development.
