Braeburn License
 
We are party to a license agreement with Braeburn (as amended to date, the “Agreement”) pursuant to which we have granted Braeburn the exclusive commercialization rights to Probuphine in the United States and its territories and Canada. Under the Agreement, we received a non-refundable license fee of $15.75 million in December 2012 and a $15.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of the Probuphine NDA in 2016. We receive royalties on net sales of Probuphine ranging in percentage from the mid-teens to the low twenties. Upon receipt of approval, our obligation was fulfilled and we recognized the full amount of the milestone payment. The Agreement also provides for sales and regulatory milestones. In addition, we are entitled to receive a low single digit royalty on sales by Braeburn of other competing continuous delivery treatments for opioid dependence as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement provides for us to be reimbursed by Braeburn for any developments services and activities undertaken at Braeburn’s request. Under ASC 606, there was no change in the amount or timing of revenue recognized under this agreement.
 
We are currently in negotiations with Braeburn regarding the possible return to us of U.S. commercialization rights to Probuphine.
