PART I
Item 1. Business
Company Overview
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company, with a
strategy of acquiring, developing, and commercializing novel and targeted oncology therapies. We have an in-house clinical development organization with
regulatory and data management capabilities, in addition to commercial infrastructure and a field based sales force for our marketed product,
ROLVEDON™ (eflapegrastim).
We have one commercial asset and one drug candidate in late-stage development:
•
ROLVEDON™ is a novel long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (“G-CSF”) for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.
On April 11, 2022, we announced that we had received notice that the resubmission of our Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for
ROLVEDON had been accepted for filing and received a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) date of September 9, 2022. On September 9,
2022, we received
2

Table of Contents
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) marketing approval for ROLVEDON and began commercialization activities in the fourth
quarter of 2022; and
•
Poziotinib is a novel irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor (“TKI”) under investigation for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) tumors with
various mutations. On December 6, 2021, we announced we submitted our New Drug Application (“NDA”) for poziotinib to the FDA for use in
patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. The NDA submission was based
on the positive results of Cohort 2 from the ZENITH20 clinical trial, which assessed the safety and efficacy of poziotinib. The product candidate
received fast track designation from the FDA and there is currently no treatment specifically approved by the FDA for this indication. On
February 11, 2022, we announced that we received notice from the FDA that the NDA had been accepted for filing and received a PDUFA action
date of November 24, 2022. On September 22, 2022, we met with the FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (“ODAC”). The ODAC voted
9 (no) - 4 (yes) that the current benefits of poziotinib did not outweigh its risks for the treatment of patients with NSCLC with HER2 exon 20
insertion mutations. On November 25, 2022, we announced that we had received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA regarding
our NDA. The CRL stated that the FDA determined that it could not approve the NDA in its present form and provided recommendations needed
for resubmission, including generating additional data from a randomized controlled study prior to approval. We are continuing to evaluate these
recommendations but we have de-prioritized further poziotinib development activities.
Cancer Background and Market Size
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, which can result in death. The development of
cancer is multi-factorial and includes both external factors (tobacco, infectious organisms, chemicals, and radiation) and internal factors (inherited
mutations, hormones, immune conditions, and mutations that occur from exposure to environmental factors or errors in making DNA (deoxyribonucleic
acid) during normal cell division). These causal factors may act together or in sequence to initiate or promote the development of cancer. Ten or more years
often pass between exposure to these factors and the development of detectable cancer. Cancer is treated through surgery, radiation, chemotherapy,
hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and/or targeted drug therapy.
According to the American Cancer Society’s publication Cancer Facts & Figures 2022, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. (only
behind heart disease). In the U.S., approximately 1.9 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2022 and approximately 609,360 persons
were expected to die from the disease. Anyone can develop cancer. Since the risk of being diagnosed with cancer increases with age, most cases occur in
adults who are middle aged or older. About 80% of all cancers are diagnosed in people 55 years of age or older. In the U.S., approximately 40 out of 100
men and 39 out of 100 women will develop cancer during their lifetime. These probabilities are estimated based on the overall experience of the general
population. Individuals within the population may have higher or lower risk because of differences in exposures (e.g., smoking), and/or genetic
susceptibility. In addition, currently available treatments are variably effective for different cancers and individual patients. Together these patients’ risks
and the treatment limitations suggest a significant current and long-term demand for improved and novel cancer treatments.
Product Portfolio
Our product portfolio consists of one commercial product and product candidates for the treatment of cancer patients. Serious adverse effects
(“SAEs”) in patients from our product and product candidates could result in a clinical hold or the withdrawal of regulatory approval and have a negative
impact on future sales. See our specific SAE risk factor within Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business --Reports of adverse events or safety
concerns involving our commercial product or in-development products or similar agents, could delay or prevent us from obtaining or maintaining
regulatory approval or negatively impact sales.
Commercial Product
ROLVEDON
ROLVEDON (eflapegrastim) is a novel long-acting G-CSF that employs a proprietary LAPSCOVERY™ technology designed to enhance the
duration of therapeutic effects and reduce the frequency of administration. ROLVEDON is FDA-approved for the treatment of adult patients with
chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. We have a co-development and commercialization agreement with Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (“Hanmi”) for
ROLVEDON worldwide rights, except in Korea, China, and Japan, which we entered into in January 2012. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (“CMS”) has issued a permanent, product-specific J-code for ROLVEDON (J1449), which becomes effective on April 1, 2023. The
3

Table of Contents
unique J-code, as well as ROLVEDON’S inclusion in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® Supportive Care Guidelines, are important elements
in establishing brand awareness and building customer confidence in our novel product.
Chemotherapy can cause myelosuppression that can lead to neutropenia, a condition where the number of neutrophils or white blood cells are too low,
which can lead to infection, hospitalization, and even death. G-CSF stimulates the production of white blood cells by the bone marrow. A recombinant
form of G-CSF is used in appropriate cancer patients to accelerate recovery from neutropenia after chemotherapy, allowing higher-intensity treatment
regimens to be given at full-dosage and on schedule.
We submitted our BLA for ROLVEDON to the FDA on October 24, 2019. Our BLA was supported by data from two similarly designed Phase 3
clinical trials, ADVANCE and RECOVER, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of ROLVEDON in 643 early-stage breast cancer patients for the
treatment of neutropenia due to myelosuppressive chemotherapy. Both studies met the pre-specified endpoint of non-inferiority relative to pegfilgrastim in
duration of severe neutropenia and met all of the secondary endpoints. In addition, the safety profile was similar to pegfilgrastim. On April 11, 2022, we
announced that we had received notice that our BLA had been accepted for filing and received a PDUFA action date of September 9, 2022. On September
9, 2022, we received the FDA marketing approval for ROLVEDON and began commercialization activities in the fourth quarter of 2022. In February 2023,
the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a permanent J-code, J1449 for ROLVEDON, effective April 1, 2023.
A company sponsored clinical trial that has been initiated to evaluate the administration of eflapegrastim on the same day as chemotherapy is
currently ongoing. This Phase 1 clinical trial is a randomized, open label, actively controlled study to evaluate the same-day dosing of eflapegrastim on
duration of neutropenia when administered at varying intervals following docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC) chemotherapy in patients with early-stage
breast cancer. The study was completed with the enrollment of 16 patients dosed with eflapegrastim 30 minutes after chemotherapy on the same day in
Cycle 1. The study added an Expansion Phase with a plan to dose approximately 45 patients with eflapegrastim 30 minutes after the chemotherapy on the
same day in all 4 cycles. The overall safety profile to date for the 30-minute arm was similar to what has been seen previously in large, randomized studies
with G-CSF given 24 hours after chemotherapy. The safety will be monitored continuously throughout the Expansion Phase of the study. An evaluation of
safety and efficacy will be conducted once the data from 6 patients in the Expansion Phase is complete to determine the trend.
As part of the post-market requirement, Spectrum is expected to conduct a pediatric study in Rolvedon that includes the development of an
appropriate formulation to dose certain pediatric patients of 1 month to 17 years of age based on weight-based dosing. The study as well as the
development of a pediatric formulation is in progress.
In Development Pipeline
Poziotinib
Poziotinib is a novel, pan-HER inhibitor that is designed to irreversibly block signaling through the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (“EGFR”)
family of TKIs, including HER1 (erbB1; EGFR), HER2 (erbB2), HER4 (erbB4), and HER receptor mutations. This, in turn, leads to the inhibition of the
proliferation of tumor cells that over-express these receptors. Mutations of over-expression/amplification of EGFR family receptors have been associated
with a number of different cancers, including NSCLC, breast cancer, and gastric cancer. In March 2015, we entered into a co-development and
commercialization agreement with Hanmi for poziotinib worldwide rights, except in Korea and China.
Our clinical development program for poziotinib has been focused on previously treated locally or advanced metastatic NSCLC, first-line treatment
of NSCLC and treatment of other solid tumors with HER2 mutations. NSCLC tumors with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations are rare and have generally
not been responsive to other TKIs. Patients with these mutations have a poor prognosis, and available treatment options are limited. Poziotinib, due to its
unique chemical structure and characteristics, is believed to inhibit cell growth of tumors with HER2 exon-20 insertion mutations.
In October 2017, we announced the start of a pivotal Phase 2 global clinical trial with active sites in the U.S., Canada and Europe (“ZENITH20”).
The ZENITH20 trial consisted of seven cohorts of NSCLC patients. Cohorts 1, 2, 3 and 4 had completed enrollment while Cohorts 5, 6, and 7 ceased
enrolling patients upon the receipt of the CRL (discussed below). Cohorts 1 (EGFR) and 2 (HER2) included previously treated NSCLC patients with exon
20 mutations. Cohort 3 (EGFR) and 4 (HER2) included first-line NSCLC patients with exon 20 mutations. Cohorts 1- 4 were each independently powered
for a pre-specified statistical hypothesis and the primary endpoint was objective response rate (“ORR”). Cohort 5 included previously treated or treatment-
naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations and evaluated different dosing regimens. Cohort 6 included NSCLC patients with
classical EGFR mutations who progressed while on treatment with first-line
4

Table of Contents
osimertinib and developed an additional EGFR mutation. Cohort 7 included NSCLC patients with a variety of less common mutations in EGFR or HER2
exons 18-21 or the extracellular or transmembrane domains.
On December 26, 2019, we announced that the pre-specified primary endpoint was not met in Cohort 1 of the ZENITH20 trial evaluating poziotinib
in previously treated NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Cohort 1 enrolled a total of 115 patients who received 16 mg/day of
poziotinib. The intent-to-treat analysis showed that 17 patients had a response (by RECIST) and 62 patients had stable disease for a 68.7% disease control
rate (“DCR”). The confirmed ORR was 14.8% (95% Confidence Interval (“CI”) 8.9%-22.6%). The median duration of response was 7.4 months and the
progression free survival was 4.2 months. The safety profile was in-line with other second-generation EGFR TKIs.
On July 27, 2020, we announced that we met the pre-specified primary endpoint for Cohort 2 in the ZENITH20 trial evaluating previously treated
NSCLC patients with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. Cohort 2 enrolled a total of 90 patients who received an oral, once daily dose of 16 mg of
poziotinib. All the patients had failed at least one line of prior systemic therapy with 60 patients (67%) having failed two or more prior therapies, including
chemotherapy and immunotherapy. All responses were read independently and confirmed by a central imaging laboratory using RECIST criteria. The
intent-to-treat analysis demonstrated a confirmed ORR of 27.8% (95% CI of 18.9%-38.2%). Based on the pre-specified statistical hypothesis for the
primary endpoint, the observed lower bound of 18.9% exceeded the pre-specified lower bound of 17% in this heavily pre-treated population. The safety
profile was in-line with the type of adverse events seen with other second-generation EGFR TKIs. These results were presented at the European Society for
Medical Oncology (“ESMO”) Virtual Congress 2020 Science Weekend held in September 2020.
In December 2020, we reported that the pre-specified primary endpoint in Cohort 3 evaluating poziotinib in first-line NSCLC patients with EGFR
exon 20 insertion mutations was not met. Cohort 3 of the ZENITH20 clinical trial enrolled a total of 79 patients who received an oral once daily dose of 16
mg of poziotinib. The median time of follow up of all patients was 9.2 months. The intent-to-treat analysis showed that 22 patients had a partial response
(by RECIST) and 68 patients had stable disease for an 86.1% DCR. 91% of patients experienced tumor reduction with a median reduction of 25.5%. The
confirmed ORR was 27.8% (95% CI 18.4-39.1%). Based on the pre-specified statistical hypothesis for the primary endpoint, the observed lower bound of
18.4% did not meet the pre-specified lower bound of >20%. The median duration of response was 6.5 months and the median progression free survival was
7.2 months. The safety profile was similar with the type of adverse events observed with other second-generation EGFR TKIs. Grade 3 treatment related
rash was 33% and diarrhea was 23%. 94% of patients had drug interruptions with 6 patients (8%) permanently discontinuing due to adverse events.
In March 2021, we announced that the FDA granted fast track designation for poziotinib based on data from Cohort 2 of ZENITH20, which evaluated
previously treated patients with NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. On December 6, 2021, we announced the submission of our NDA seeking
accelerated approval for poziotinib to the FDA for use in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with HER2 exon 20
insertion mutations. The NDA submission was based on the positive results of Cohort 2 from the ZENITH20 clinical trial, which assessed the safety and
efficacy of poziotinib in previously treated patients with NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. On February 11, 2022, we announced that the
NDA had been accepted and an action date of November 24, 2022 had been set.
In March 2022, we presented the results of Cohort 4 at the ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies (“TAT”) meeting. Cohort 4 of the ZENITH20
clinical trial enrolled a total of 70 patients, 48 of whom received an oral once daily dose of 16 mg of poziotinib and 22 of who received an oral twice daily
dose of 8 mg of poziotinib. The intent-to-treat analysis demonstrated a confirmed ORR of 41% (95% CI of 30%-54%). Based on the pre-specified
statistical hypothesis for the primary endpoint, the observed lower bound of 30% exceeded the pre-specified lower bound of 20%. The median duration of
response was 5.7 months and median progression free survival was 5.6 months. The most common treatment related Grade ≥ 3 adverse events were rash
(30%), stomatitis (19%), diarrhea (14%), and paronychia (7%). In addition, the incidence of Grade ≥ 3 pneumonitis was low at 3%. The safety profile was
consistent with the TKI class.
On September 22, 2022, we met with the FDA’s ODAC. On the question of whether the current benefits of poziotinib outweigh its risks for the
treatment of patients with NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations, the ODAC voted 9 (no) – 4 (yes) that the current benefits of poziotinib did not
outweigh its risks. On November 25, 2022, we announced that we had received a CRL from the FDA regarding our NDA for poziotinib. The CRL stated
that the FDA determined that it could not approve the NDA in its present form and provided recommendations needed for resubmission, including
generating additional data from a randomized controlled study prior to approval. We are continuing to evaluate those recommendations but we have de-
prioritized further poziotinib development activities.
Manufacturing
5

Table of Contents
We currently do not have internal manufacturing capabilities. Our product is and our product candidates are manufactured by third parties that
specialize in these services. We expect to continue to contract with third-parties for our manufacturing and packaging requirements, including API and
finished-dosage products. We believe that our current agreements with these third-party manufacturers provide sufficient capacity to support our clinical
requirements and the anticipated commercial demand for ROLVEDON. We attempt to prevent supply disruption through our executed supply agreements,
appropriate forecasting, and maintaining base stock levels.
Sales and Marketing Strategy
We presently market ROLVEDON through group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”), wholesalers, specialty distributors or directly to clinics and
hospitals in the U.S. All of our revenue is derived from sales within the U.S. The primary decision makers for our products are oncologists, hematologists
and account administrators. As of December 31, 2022, our U.S. sales force (sales management, sales representatives, and sales administrative support)
numbered 39 employees.
Competition
The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapidly-evolving technology and intense competition, which we expect to persist. Many companies
are engaged in research and development of compounds that are similar to ours – both commercialized and in development, which fosters continuous
innovation. In the event that one or more of our competitor’s programs are successful, the market for our product and product candidates could be reduced
or eliminated. Any product for which we obtain FDA approval must also compete for market acceptance and market share.
Our successful marketing of branded products, upon FDA approval, depends primarily on the ability to communicate the effectiveness, safety, and
value of the products to healthcare professionals in private practice, group practices, hospitals, academic institutions, and managed care organizations.
Competition for branded drugs is less driven by price and is more focused on innovation in treatment of disease, advanced drug delivery, and specific
clinical benefits over competitive drug therapies. Unless our products are shown to be differentiated (e.g., have a better safety profile, efficacy, and/or cost-
effectiveness) compared to other alternatives, they may not gain acceptance by medical professionals and may therefore never be commercially successful.
Companies that have products on the market or in research and development that target the same indications as our in-development products or new
compounds sought include, among others: Amgen, Inc., Coherus BioSciences, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sandoz, Pfizer, AstraZeneca plc, Takeda
Pharmaceutical Company Ltd, Rain Therapeutics Inc., Janssen Research & Development, Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Cullinan Oncology, LLC,
Daiichi-Sankyo Co., Ltd., Genentech, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc., Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., and Novartis International AG.
Each of the aforementioned companies may be more advanced in the development of competing product candidates. Many of these competitors are
large and well-capitalized companies focusing on a wide range of cancer types and have substantially greater resources and expertise than we do. As a
consequence, they are able to spend more on product development, marketing, sales and other product initiatives than we can. Some of our competitors
have:
•
significantly greater name recognition;
•
broader or deeper relations with healthcare professionals, customers and third-party payors;
•
more established distribution networks;
•
greater experience in conducting research and development, manufacturing, clinical trials, marketing and obtaining regulatory clearance or
approval for products; and
•
greater financial and human resources for product development, sales and marketing and patent prosecution.
We believe that the current competitive landscape for each of our key commercialized and in-development products, is as follows:
(a)
ROLVEDON is a novel long-acting G-CSF that employs a proprietary technology that is designed to prolong the duration of biologics,
reducing the frequency of administration. There is currently one other novel long-acting G-CSF and five biosimilar G-CSFs marketed in
the United States including, Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), marketed by Amgen, Inc., UDENYCA™ (pegfilgrastim-cbqv), a biosimilar
marketed by Coherus BioSciences, Fulphila® (pegfilgrastim-jmdb), a biosimilar marketed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Ziextenzo®
(pegfilgrastim-bmez), a biosimilar marketed by Sandoz, NYVEPRIA™ (pegfilgrastim-apgf), a biosimilar

marketed by Pfizer, Inc. and Stimufend® (pegfilgrastim-fpgk), a biosimilar marketed by Fresenius Kabi. One additional biosimilar G-CSF,
Fylnetra® (pegfilgrastim-pbbk) manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals has been approved but is not on the market as of today . In
addition, there are several novel products in development that may compete with ROLVEDON if they are approved, including G1
Therapeutics’ trilaciclib, BeyondSpring’s plinabulin, and Evive Biotech’s benegrastim.
(b)
Poziotinib is a novel investigational, oral, quinazoline-based pan-HER inhibitor that is designed to irreversibly block signaling through
the EGFR family of tyrosine-kinase receptors, including human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER1/ErbB1/EGFR), HER2 (ErbB2),
and HER4 (ErbB4), as well as HER receptor mutations. Poziotinib’s development program has been primarily focused on advanced
NSCLC patients harboring exon 20 insertion mutations in HER2(ErbB2). At present there are no FDA approved therapies for metastatic
NSCLC patients with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations.
There are a number of other targeted therapies focused on these subtypes of NSCLC that are in early clinical investigation by our potential
competitors, including: TAGRISSO (Osimertinib) - AstraZeneca, Tarlox (tarloxotinib) - Rain Therapeutics Inc., DS-8201a - Daiichi
Sankyo, CLN081 - Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Cullinan Oncology, LLC, and Pyrotinib - Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co.,
Ltd.
New drug development is the process whereby product candidates are tested for the purpose of filing an NDA or a BLA in the U.S. (or similar filing
in other countries). Obtaining marketing approval from the FDA or similar regulatory authorities outside of the U.S. is an inherently uncertain, lengthy, and
expensive process that requires several phases of clinical trials to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the appropriate regulatory authorities that the product is
both safe and effective for its respective indications. Our development focus is primarily based on acquiring and developing late-stage development drug
candidates as compared to new drug discovery, which is particularly uncertain and lengthy.
Our product and late-stage product candidate are summarized below:
ROLVEDON™ (eflapegrastim-xnst)
Poziotinib
An investigational orally administered, irreversible TKI for the treatment of solid tumors.

Our research and development expenses for drug development are comprised of our personnel expenses, contracted services with third parties,
license fees and milestone payments to third parties, clinical trial costs, laboratory supplies, drug products, and certain allocations of corporate costs. The
below table summarizes our research and development expenses by project in 2022 and 2021:

Patents and Proprietary Rights
Overview
We in-license from third parties certain patents and related intellectual property rights related to our proprietary product and product candidates.
Under most of these license arrangements, we are generally responsible for all development, patent filing, prosecution, and maintenance costs, sales,
marketing and liability insurance costs related to our product and product candidates.
In addition, these licenses and agreements may require us to make royalty and other payments and to reasonably utilize the underlying technology of
applicable patents. If we fail to comply with these and other terms in these licenses and agreements, we could lose the underlying rights to one or more of
our potential products, which would adversely affect our product development and harm our business. For more information regarding these arrangements
see Note 8(b), “Financial Commitments & Contingencies and Key License Agreements,” to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
The protection, preservation, and infringement-free commercial utilization of these patents and related intellectual property rights are very important
to the successful execution of our strategy. However, the issuance of a patent is neither conclusive as to its validity nor as to the enforceable scope of the
claims of the patent. Accordingly, our patents and the patents we have licensed may not prevent other companies from developing similar or functionally
equivalent products or from successfully challenging the validity of our patents. If our patent applications are not allowed or, even if allowed and issued as
patents, if such patents or the patents we have in-licensed are circumvented or not upheld in a court of law or in administrative proceedings, including
oppositions, re-examinations or inter parties review, our ability to competitively utilize our patented products and technologies may be significantly
reduced. Also, such patents may or may not provide competitive advantages for their respective products or they may be challenged or circumvented by
competitors, in which case our ability to commercially sell these products may be diminished.
From time-to-time, we may need to obtain licenses to patents and other proprietary rights held by third parties to develop, manufacture and market
our products. If we are unable to timely obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to commercially exploit such products may be
inhibited or prevented.
Patents and Licenses Summary
We believe that our patents and licenses are critical to operating our business, as summarized below.
ROLVEDON: Composition of matter patents covering ROLVEDON, both foreign and domestic, are due to expire in 2036. We also have a
ROLVEDON formulation patent granted in the U.S., Europe, Japan and other countries. The formulation patent will not expire in the U.S. until 2031.
Additionally, a patent term extension has been filed and pending regulatory approval. ROLVEDON is also covered by additional patents and pending
applications claiming various aspects of the technology and formulation that do or would provide protection until 2039.

Poziotinib: A composition of matter patent covering poziotinib is due to expire in 2028. Poziotinib is also covered by additional patents and patent
applications covering its formulations and synthetic processes which will expire between 2032 and 2034. We have licensed patent applications covering the
use of poziotinib that if granted, would expire in 2037.
Patent Protection and Value Maximization
We are constantly evaluating our patent portfolio and are currently assessing and filing patent applications for our product and product candidates and
considering new patent applications in order to maximize the life cycle of each of our assets.
While the U.S. and the European Union (EU) are currently the largest potential markets for most of our assets, we also have patents issued and patent
applications pending outside of the U.S. and the EU. Limitations on patent protection in these countries, and the differences in what constitutes patentable
subject matter in countries outside the U.S., may limit the protection we have on patents issued or licensed to us outside of the U.S. In addition, laws of
foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as would laws in the U.S.
To minimize our costs and expenses and to maintain effective protection, we usually focus our patent and licensing activities within the U.S., the EU,
Canada, and Japan. In determining whether or not to seek a patent or to license any patent in a certain foreign country, we weigh the relevant costs and
benefits, and consider, among other things, the market potential and profitability, the scope of patent protection afforded by the law of the jurisdiction and
its enforceability, and the nature of terms with any potential licensees. Failure to obtain adequate patent protection for our proprietary drugs and technology
would impair our ability to be commercially competitive in these markets.
In conducting our business, we rely upon trade secrets, know-how, and licensing arrangements. We use customary practices for the protection of our
confidential and proprietary information such as confidentiality agreements and trade secret protection measures. It is possible that these agreements will be
breached or will not be enforceable in every instance, and that we will not have adequate remedies for any such breach. It is also possible that our trade
secrets or know-how will otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. The protection of know-how is particularly important
because it is often necessary or useful information that allows us to practice the claims in the patents related to our proprietary product and product
candidates.
In addition to the specific intellectual property subjects discussed above, we have a trademark registration in the U.S. for Spectrum Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.®. We also have trademarks for the Spectrum Pharmaceuticals’ logos. Any other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Governmental Regulation
The development, production and marketing of our proprietary drug product candidates and biological products are subject to extensive regulation by
numerous governmental authorities in the U.S. and other countries. In the U.S., the FDA regulates drugs under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FDCA) and related regulations and regulates biological products under the FDCA and the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) and related regulations.
Drugs and biologics are also subject to other federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations. The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in state
and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries govern, among other things, the development, approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness,
labeling, packaging, storage, record keeping, distribution, reporting, promotion, advertising and import and export of drugs and biologics. Product
development and approval within this regulatory framework, including for products already at a clinical stage of development, can take many years and
require the expenditure of substantial resources, and to obtain FDA approval, a product must satisfy quality, safety, and efficacy requirements. In addition,
each drug-manufacturing establishment must be registered with the FDA. Domestic manufacturing establishments must comply with the FDA’s current
Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), regulations and are subject to inspections by the FDA. To supply drug ingredients or products for use in the U.S.,
foreign manufacturing establishments must also comply with cGMP and are subject to inspections by the FDA or by other regulatory authorities in certain
countries under reciprocal agreements with the FDA. Government regulation may delay or prevent marketing of product candidates for a considerable
period of time and impose substantial costs upon our activities. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. regulatory requirements at any time during the
product development process or after approval may subject an applicant to administrative or judicial sanctions. FDA sanctions include refusal to approve
pending applications, withdrawal of an approval or suspension or revocation of a license, clinical hold, warning or untitled letters, voluntary or mandatory
product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, mandated corrective advertising or
communications with doctors, debarment, restitution, disgorgement of profits, or civil or criminal penalties. In addition, government regulation may delay
or prevent marketing of product candidates for a considerable period of time and impose costly procedures upon our activities.
General Information about the Drug Development and Approval Process and Post-Marketing Requirements
9

Table of Contents
The U.S. system of new drug and biologics development and approval is a rigorous process. Only a small percentage of compounds that enter the
pre-clinical testing stage are ever approved for commercialization. Our strategy focuses on in-licensing clinical stage product candidates that are already in
or about to enter human clinical trials. A late-stage focus helps us to effectively manage the high cost of drug development by focusing on compounds that
have already passed the many hurdles in the pre-clinical and early clinical process.
The process required by the FDA before drugs and biologics may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:
•
completion of nonclinical laboratory and animal tests according to good laboratory practices (GLP) and other applicable requirements for the
humane use of laboratory animals;
•
submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;
•
approval of the protocol and related documentation by an independent institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee at each clinical trial
site before each trial may be initiated;
•
performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials according to the FDA’s regulations commonly referred to as Good Clinical
Practices (GCP) and any additional requirements for the protection of human research subjects and their health information;
•
for a drug, submission of an NDA that includes substantive evidence of the product’s safety and efficacy and, for a biologic, submission to the
FDA of a BLA for marketing approval that includes substantive evidence of safety, purity, and potency;
•
satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of manufacturing facilities where the product is produced to assess compliance with
cGMP to assure that the facilities, methods and controls are adequate;
•
potential FDA audit of certain nonclinical study sites and clinical trial sites that generated the data in support of an NDA or BLA;
•
review of the product candidate by an FDA advisory committee, where appropriate; and
•
FDA review of the NDA or BLA and the approval or licensure thereof, which must occur before a drug or biologic, respectively, can be marketed
or sold.
Pre-clinical Testing: Before testing any drug or biologic candidate in humans, laboratory and animal studies are conducted to assess the biological
activity and safety of a drug or biologic candidate against the targeted disease. The conduct of the pre-clinical tests must comply with federal regulations
and requirements including GLP. Additional pre-clinical testing may be required or requested by a regulatory authority even after clinical trials have begun.
Investigational New Drug Application: After certain pre-clinical studies are completed, an IND application is submitted to the FDA to request the
ability to begin human testing of the drug or biologic. As a part of its IND application, the trial sponsor must submit the results of the pre-clinical studies,
together with manufacturing information, analytical data, any available clinical data or literature and a proposed clinical protocol. An IND becomes
effective thirty days after the FDA receives the application (unless the FDA notifies the sponsor of a clinical hold), or upon prior notification by the FDA.
If the FDA notifies the sponsor of a clinical hold, the sponsor of the IND application must resolve any outstanding concerns with the FDA before the
clinical trial may begin. The FDA also may impose a clinical hold on ongoing clinical trials due to safety concerns or non-compliance. If a clinical hold is
imposed, a trial may not recommence without FDA authorization and then only under terms authorized by the FDA. A clinical hold may either be a full
clinical hold or a partial clinical hold that would limit a trial, for example, to certain doses or for a certain length of time or to a certain number of subjects.
Further, an independent IRB for each site proposing to conduct the clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences
at that site. An IRB is charged with protecting the welfare and rights of study subjects and considers such items as whether the risks to individuals
participating in the clinical trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the form and content of the
informed consent that must be signed by each clinical trial subject or his or her legal representative and must monitor the clinical trial until completed.
Clinical Trials: Clinical trials involve the administration of a product candidate to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of qualified
investigators. Clinical trials are conducted under protocols detailing, among other things, the objectives of the clinical trial, dosing procedures, subject
selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitor subject safety, including rules that assure a clinical trial will be stopped if certain
adverse events occur. Each protocol and any amendments to the protocol must be submitted to the FDA and to the IRB. Information about certain clinical
trials must be
10

Table of Contents
submitted with specific timeframes to clinical trial registries, such as clinicaltrials.gov. Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases that
may overlap or be combined:
•
Phase 1 Clinical Trials: These trials typically involve small numbers of healthy volunteers or patients and usually define a drug candidate’s safety
profile, including the safe dosage range and may also provide early evidence of effectiveness.
•
Phase 2 Clinical Trials: These trials are conducted in a limited number of patients with the targeted disease to preliminarily assess the drug
candidate’s effectiveness. These studies are designed primarily to determine the appropriate dose levels, dose schedules and route(s) of
administration, as well as to determine if there are any side effects to expand the safety profile following Phase 1. These clinical trials, and Phase 3
trials discussed below, are designed to evaluate the product’s overall benefit-risk profile. Multiple Phase 2 clinical trials may be conducted by the
sponsor to obtain information prior to beginning larger and more expensive Phase 3 clinical trials.
•
Phase 3 Clinical Trials: These trials usually involve a larger number of patients with the targeted disease to determine the product candidate’s
efficacy and to observe and report any adverse reactions that may result from longer-term use on a large, more widespread, patient population.
During Phase 3 clinical trials, typically the product is compared to either a placebo or a standard treatment for the target disease. Phase 3 trials
often are designed to serve as the primary basis for developing physician labeling and for providing the substantial evidence of safety and
effectiveness for an NDA or BLA.
During all phases of clinical development, regulatory agencies require extensive monitoring and auditing of all clinical activities, clinical data, and
clinical trial investigators. Annual progress reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted to the FDA. Within 15 calendar days, a
sponsor must submit written IND safety report to the FDA and the study investigators for serious and unexpected adverse events; findings from other
studies, tests in laboratory animals or in vitro testing that suggest a significant risk for human subjects; or any clinically important increase in the rate of a
serious suspected adverse reaction over that listed in the protocol or investigator brochure. The sponsor also must notify the FDA of any unexpected fatal or
life-threatening suspected adverse reaction within seven calendar days after the sponsor’s initial receipt of the information.
Regulatory authorities, a data safety monitoring board or the sponsor may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding
that the participants are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Similarly, an IRB can suspend or terminate approval of a clinical trial at its institution
if the trial is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB’s requirements or if the product candidate has been associated with unexpected serious harm
to patients, and the trial may not recommence without the IRB’s authorization.
New Drug Application or Biologics License Application: To obtain approval to market a drug in the U.S., an NDA must be submitted to the FDA that
provides data demonstrating the drug is safe and effective. Similarly, for a biological product in the U.S., a BLA must be submitted to the FDA that
provides data establishing to the FDA’s satisfaction the safety, purity and potency of the product for the proposed indication. Both an NDA and BLA
include all data available from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, detailed information relating to the product’s manufacture and composition, and
proposed labeling. Under PDUFA, each NDA and BLA must be accompanied by a user fee. The FDA adjusts the PDUFA user fees on an annual basis.
PDUFA also imposes an annual prescription drug product program fee for drugs and biologics. Fee waivers or reductions are available in certain
circumstances.
Expedited Development and Review Programs: The FDA has established procedures for accelerating the development and approval of drugs for
serious or life-threatening diseases for which the sponsor can demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. These programs include fast track
designation, breakthrough therapy designation, priority review, and accelerated approval. The FDA may grant “fast track” status to product candidates that
are intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions and demonstrate the potential to address an unmet medical need for the condition.
Fast track is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of such product candidates by providing, among other things, more
frequent meetings with the FDA to discuss the product candidate’s development plan and rolling review, which allows submission of individually
completed sections of an BLA or NDA for FDA review before the entire submission is completed. The sponsor of a product candidate may request the
FDA to designate the product as a fast track product at any time during clinical development. Fast track status does not ensure that a product will be
developed more quickly or receive FDA approval. In addition, the fast track designation may be withdrawn by the FDA if the FDA believes that the
designation is no
11

Table of Contents
longer supported by data emerging in the clinical trial process, or if the designated drug development program is no longer being pursued.
A product candidate intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition may also be eligible for breakthrough therapy designation if
preliminary clinical evidence indicates that it may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant
endpoints. The benefits of breakthrough therapy designation include the same benefits as fast track designation, plus intensive guidance from the FDA to
ensure an efficient drug development program.
The FDA may give a priority review designation to a product candidate if it has the potential to provide safe and effective therapy where no
satisfactory alternative therapy exists or to provide a significant improvement in the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of a disease compared to marketed
products. Priority review is intended to reduce the time it takes for the FDA to review an NDA or BLA, with the goal to take action on the application
within six months from when the application is filed, compared to ten months for a standard review. The FDA will attempt to direct additional resources to
the evaluation of an application for a biological product or drug designated for priority review in an effort to facilitate the review.
Additionally, a product may be eligible for accelerated approval. Drugs or biologics studied for their safety and effectiveness in treating serious or
life-threatening illnesses and that provide meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing treatments may receive accelerated approval, which means that they
may be approved on the basis of adequate and well-controlled clinical trials establishing that the product has an effect on a surrogate endpoint that is
reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit, or on the basis of an effect on a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than irreversible morbidity or
mortality, that is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit, taking into account the severity, rarity
or prevalence of the condition and the availability or lack of alternative treatments. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require that a sponsor of a
biological product or drug receiving accelerated approval perform adequate and well-controlled post-marketing clinical trials with due diligence to confirm
clinical benefit. Under the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022 (“FDORA”), the FDA is now permitted to require, as appropriate, that such
confirmatory trials be underway prior to approval or within a specific time period after the date accelerated approval is granted. In addition, the FDA
currently requires, unless otherwise informed by the agency, pre-approval of promotional materials for products being considered for accelerated approval.
Under FDORA, the FDA has increased authority for expedited procedures to withdraw approval of a drug or indication approved under accelerated
approval if, for example, the confirmatory trial fails to verify the predicted clinical benefit of the product.
Fast track designation, breakthrough therapy designation, priority review and accelerated approval do not change the standards for approval but may
expedite the development or approval process. Moreover, even if a product candidate qualifies for one or more of these programs, the FDA may later
decide that the product candidate no longer meets the conditions for designation or decide that the time period for FDA review or approval will not be
shortened.
Pediatric Studies
Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA), as amended, an NDA or BLA or supplement must contain data to assess the safety and
effectiveness of the drug or biologic for the claimed indications in all relevant pediatric subpopulations and to support dosing and administration for each
pediatric subpopulation for which the product is safe and effective. The intent of PREA is to compel sponsors whose products have pediatric applicability
to study those products in pediatric populations. The FDCA requires manufacturers of drugs and biologics that include a new active ingredient, new
indication, new dosage form, new dosing regimen or new route of administration to submit a pediatric study plan to the FDA as part of the IND application.
The plan must be submitted not later than 60 days after the end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA; or if there is no such meeting, before the initiation of any
Phase 3 trials or a combined Phase 2 and Phase 3 trial; or if no such trial will be conducted, no later than 210 days before submitting a marketing
application or supplement. The FDA may grant deferrals for submission of data or full or partial waivers. Generally, PREA does not apply to any drug or
biologic for an indication for which orphan designation has been granted.
NDA/BLA Approval: The FDA approves drugs and biologics, respectively, based on the data and information in the NDA or BLA application
demonstrating the product is safe and effective for its proposed use(s) and that the product’s benefits outweigh its risks. The FDA has 60 days from its
receipt of an NDA or BLA to determine whether the application will be accepted for filing based on the agency’s threshold determination that the
application is sufficiently complete to permit substantive review. The FDA may refuse to file any NDA or BLA that it deems incomplete or not properly
reviewable at the time of submission and may request additional information. In this event, the NDA or BLA must be resubmitted with the additional
information. The resubmitted application also is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After the NDA or BLA submission is accepted for
filing, the FDA reviews the application to determine, among other things, whether the
12

Table of Contents
proposed product is safe and effective for its intended use(s) and whether the product is being manufactured in accordance with cGMP to assure and
preserve the product’s identity, safety, strength, quality, potency, and purity. The FDA may refer applications for novel products or products that present
difficult questions of safety or efficacy to an advisory committee, typically comprised of clinicians and other experts, for evaluation and a recommendation
as to whether the application should be approved and, if so, under what conditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendations of an advisory
committee, but it considers such recommendations carefully when making decisions.
After the FDA completes its initial review of an NDA or BLA, it will communicate to the sponsor that the product will either be approved, or it will
issue a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) to communicate that the application will not be approved in its current form. The CRL usually describes all of
the specific deficiencies in the NDA or BLA identified by the FDA. The deficiencies identified may be minor (e.g., requiring labeling changes) or major
(e.g., requiring additional clinical trials). The CRL also may include recommended actions that the applicant might take to place the application in a
condition for approval. If a CRL is issued, the applicant may either resubmit the NDA or BLA to address all of the deficiencies identified in the letter, or
withdraw the application, or request a hearing.
One of the performance goals of the FDA under PDUFA is to review 90% of standard BLAs and NDAs in 10 months and 90% of priority BLAs and
NDAs in six months after the 60-day filing date. The FDA does not always meet its PDUFA goal dates and its review goals are subject to change from time
to time. The review process and the PDUFA goal date may be extended by three months if the FDA requests or the BLA or NDA applicant otherwise
provides additional information or clarification regarding information already provided in the submission within the last three months before the PDUFA
goal date. The FDA will also review the NDA or BLA applicant’s manufacturing process and controls to ensure they are adequate to preserve the drug’s
identity, strength, quality, and purity. Finally, the FDA will review and approve the product’s proposed labeling. Even if a product candidate receives
regulatory approval, the approval may be limited to specific disease states, patient populations and dosages, or the indications for use may otherwise be
limited. Further, the FDA may require that certain contraindications, warnings, or precautions be included in the product labeling.
Postmarketing studies: As a condition of approval, the FDA may require sponsors to conduct additional studies or clinical trials after approval has
been granted. These postmarketing requirements (PMRs) may be required for a number of reasons including postmarketing studies or clinical trials to
demonstrate clinical benefit for drugs approved under accelerated approval, or deferred pediatric studies, where studies are required under the Pediatric
Research Equity Act (PREA):
•
The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, or FDAAA, significantly added to the FDA’s authority to require post-approval
studies. Under FDAAA, the FDA may require sponsors to conduct further clinical trials to assess a known serious risk, assess signals of serious
risk, or identify an unexpected serious risk. If required to conduct a post-approval study, periodic status reports must be submitted to the FDA.
Failure to conduct such post-approval studies in a timely manner may result in administrative action being taken by FDA, including civil fines.
In addition, a sponsor may voluntarily conduct Phase 4 studies to gain more information about the product, including to explore additional patient
populations, compare the product to a competitor, or to further study the risks, benefits and optimal use of a product.
Postmarketing Regulation
Following approval of a new drug or biological product, the manufacturer and the approved product are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA,
including, among other things, monitoring and record‑keeping activities, reporting of adverse experiences, and complying with promotion and advertising
requirements. Prescription drug and biologic promotional materials must be submitted to the FDA in conjunction with their first use. Further, if there are
any modifications to the drug or biologic, including changes in indications, labeling or manufacturing processes or facilities, the applicant may be required
to submit and obtain FDA approval of a new BLA or BLA supplement, which may require the development of additional data or preclinical studies and
clinical trials.
Adverse events that are reported after marketing approval can result in additional limitations being placed on a product’s use and, potentially,
withdrawal of the product from the market. The FDA has authority to mandate labeling changes to products at any point in a product’s life cycle based on
new safety information derived from clinical trials, post-approval studies, peer-reviewed medical literature, or post-market risk identification systems data.
The FDAAA also gave the FDA authority to require the implementation of a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), for a product when
necessary to assure that the product’s benefits outweigh its risks. The FDA may require the submission of a REMS before a product is approved, or after
approval based on “new safety information,” including new analysis of existing safety information. A REMS may include a medication guide, patient
package insert, a plan for communication with healthcare providers, or other elements
13

Table of Contents
to assure safe use (ETASU) as the FDA deems are necessary to assure safe use of the product, which could include imposing certain restrictions on
distribution or use of a product. A REMS must include a timetable for submission of assessments of the strategy at specified time intervals. Failure to
comply with a REMS, including the submission of a required assessment, may result in substantial civil or criminal penalties.
Additionally, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) provides for an electronic system to identify and trace certain prescription drugs
distributed in the U.S. The law’s requirements include the quarantine and prompt investigation of a suspect product to determine if it is illegitimate and
notifying trading partners and the FDA of any illegitimate product. Drug manufacturers and other parties involved in the supply chain for prescription
products must comply with product tracking and tracing requirements, including placing a unique product identifier on prescription drug packages.
FDA Enforcement
FDA regulations require that approved products be manufactured in specific approved facilities and in accordance with cGMP regulations which
require, among other things, quality control and quality assurance, the maintenance of records and documentation, and the obligation to investigate and
correct any deviations from cGMP. Manufacturers and other entities involved in the manufacture and distribution of approved drugs or biologics, and those
supplying products, ingredients, and components of them, are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are
subject to periodic announced and unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with cGMP requirements and other
regulatory requirements. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to
maintain cGMP compliance. The discovery of violative conditions, including failure to conform to cGMP regulations, could result in enforcement action.
The FDA strictly regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of drugs and biological products. Drugs and biological products may
be promoted only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA does not regulate behavior of
physicians in their choice of treatments and physicians may legally prescribe available products for uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and
that differ from those approved by the FDA. However, the FDA does restrict an applicant’s communications regarding off-label use of their products. A
company that is found to have improperly marketed or promoted an off-label use may be subject to significant liability, including criminal and civil
penalties under the FDCA and False Claims Act, exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs, and mandatory compliance programs.
Failure to comply with the FDA and other governmental regulations can result in fines, unanticipated compliance expenditures, recall or seizure of
products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDA’s review of NDAs or BLAs, enforcement actions, injunctions
and criminal prosecution. Under certain circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals.
Under its Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery and Illegal Gratuities Policy, the FDA can significantly delay the approval of a
marketing application, or seek to withdraw an approved application where it identifies fraud or discrepancies in regulatory submissions. Such actions by the
FDA may significantly delay or suspend substantive scientific review of a pending application during validity assessment or remove approved products
from the market until the assessment is complete and questions regarding reliability of the data are resolved.
Healthcare Reform
The containment of healthcare costs has become a priority of federal and state governments, and the prices of drugs have been a focus in this effort.
Changes in government legislation or regulation and changes in private third-party payors’ policies toward reimbursement for our products, if successfully
developed and approved, may reduce reimbursement of our products’ costs to physicians, pharmacies, patients, and distributors. The U.S. government,
state legislatures and foreign governments have shown significant interest in implementing cost-containment programs, including price controls, payment
of rebates, restrictions on reimbursement and requirements for substitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost-containment measures,
and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could limit our net revenue and results for products, if any, we
commercialize in the future.
The pricing and reimbursement environment for our products may change in the future and become more challenging due to state and federal
healthcare reform measures. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or ARRA, for example, allocated new federal funding to compare the
effectiveness of different treatments for the same condition. The plan for the research was published in 2012 by the Department of Health and Human
Services, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the National Institutes for Health, and periodic reports on the status of the research and
related expenditures are
14

Table of Contents
made to Congress. Although ARRA does not mandate the use of the results of comparative effectiveness studies for reimbursement purposes, it is not clear
what effect, if any, the research will have on the sales of any products for which we receive marketing approval or on the reimbursement policies of public
and private payors. It is possible that comparative effectiveness research demonstrating benefits in a competitor’s product could adversely affect the sales of
any product for which we receive marketing approval. For example, if third-party payors find our products not to be cost-effective compared to other
available therapies, they may not cover our products after approval as a benefit under their plans or, if they do, the level of payment may not be sufficient to
allow us to sell our products on a profitable basis.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) is a sweeping measure intended to expand healthcare coverage within the U.S.,
primarily through the imposition of health insurance mandates on employers and individuals, the provision of subsidies to eligible individuals enrolled in
plans offered on the health insurance exchanges, and the expansion of the Medicaid program. This law has substantially changed the way healthcare is
financed by both governmental and private insurers and has significantly impacted the pharmaceutical industry. These changes have impacted previously
existing government healthcare programs and have resulted in the development of new programs, including Medicare payment for performance initiatives
and improvements to the Medicare physician quality reporting system and feedback program.
One of the goals of the PPACA was to expand coverage for the uninsured while at the same time containing overall healthcare costs. With regard to
pharmaceutical products, among other things, the PPACA increased minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program
and extended manufacturers’ Medicaid rebate liability to drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations.
Some states have elected not to expand their Medicaid programs by raising the income limit to 133% of the federal poverty level, as is permitted
under the PPACA. For each state that does not choose to expand its Medicaid program, there may be fewer insured patients overall, which could impact
sales of our products that are approved and that we successfully commercialize, and our business and financial condition. Where Medicaid patients receive
insurance coverage under any of the new options made available through the PPACA, the possibility exists that manufacturers may be required to pay
Medicaid rebates on drugs used under these circumstances, a decision that could impact manufacturer revenues.
Certain provisions of the ACA have been subject to judicial challenges as well as efforts to modify them or to alter their interpretation or
implementation. For example, Congress eliminated, starting January 1, 2019, the tax penalty for not complying with the PPACA’s individual mandate to
carry health insurance. Further, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, among other things, amended the Medicare statute to reduce the coverage gap in most
Medicare drugs plans, commonly known as the “donut hole,” by raising the required manufacturer point-of-sale discount from 50% to 70% off the
negotiated price effective as of January 1, 2019. Provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) will serve to eliminate this coverage gap by
reducing Medicare beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket maximum from $7,050 to $2,000, starting January 1, 2025. Additional legislative changes, regulatory
changes, and judicial challenges related to the PPACA remain possible, but the nature and extent of such potential changes or challenges are uncertain at
this time. It is unclear how the PPACA and its implementation, as well as efforts to modify or invalidate the PPACA, or portions thereof, or its
implementation, will affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is possible that the PPACA, in its current form or as it may be
amended in the future, and other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future could have a material adverse effect on our industry
generally and on our ability to maintain or increase sales of our product or product candidates for which we receive regulatory approval or to successfully
commercialize our product and product candidates.
Other legislative changes relating to reimbursement have been adopted in the U.S. since the ACA was enacted. For example, on August 2, 2011, the
Budget Control Act of 2011 and subsequent legislation, among other things, resulted in aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of, on
average, 2% per fiscal year through 2031 (with the exception of a temporary suspension from May 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022, due to the COVID-19
pandemic). As long as these cuts remain in effect, they could adversely impact payment for any products we may commercialize in the future. We expect
that additional federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments
will pay for healthcare products and services, and in turn could significantly reduce the projected value of certain development projects and reduce our
profitability.
Additional legislative changes, regulatory changes, or guidance could be adopted, which may impact the marketing approvals and reimbursement for
our product candidates. For example, there has been increasing legislative, regulatory, and enforcement interest in the United States with respect to drug
pricing practices. There have been several Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation and regulatory initiatives designed
to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, evaluate the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient assistance and
support programs, potentially permit government negotiation of Medicare pricing with manufacturers relative to certain international prices paid, and
reform government healthcare program reimbursement methodologies for drug products. If healthcare policies
15

Table of Contents
or reforms intended to curb healthcare costs are adopted or if we experience negative publicity with respect to pricing of our products or the pricing of
pharmaceutical drugs generally, the prices that we charge for any approved products may be limited, our commercial opportunity may be limited and/or our
revenues from sales of our products may be negatively impacted.
The IRA includes several provisions that may impact our business to varying degrees, including imposing a new manufacturer financial liability on
certain drugs and biologics dispensed Medicare Part D, starting in 2025. The IRA also allows the U.S. government to negotiate Medicare Part B and Part D
price caps for certain high-cost drugs and biologics without generic or biosimilar competition, with the first set of drugs being selected for negotiation in
2023. The IRA also requires manufacturers to pay rebates to Medicare for certain drug prices that increase faster than inflation under Medicare Part B and
Medicare Part D.
It is possible that the PPACA, as currently enacted or may be amended in the future, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted
in the future, may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, more rigorous coverage criteria and new payment
methodologies and in additional downward pressure on coverage and payment and the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction in
reimbursement from Medicare or other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of
cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our
products. We cannot be sure whether additional legislative changes will be enacted in the United States or outside of the United States, or whether
regulatory changes, guidance or interpretations will be changed, or what the impact of such changes on the marketing approvals of our product candidates,
if any, may be.
Foreign Regulation
Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign
countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country/region to
country/region, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials,
product licensing, pricing and reimbursement also may vary, sometimes significantly, from country/region to country/region.
Under the EU regulatory systems, we may submit marketing authorization applications either under a centralized procedure or decentralized
procedure or the mutual recognition procedure. The centralized procedure is mandatory for medicines produced by a biotechnological process. The
procedure is also mandatory for new active substances which are indicated for treatment of several diseases or conditions, including cancer and orphan
conditions. Companies may apply for centralized assessment if the product contains a new active substance or the product constitutes significant
therapeutic, scientific or technical innovation or the granting of authorization under the centralized procedure is in the interests of the EU patients. A
centralized marketing authorization is valid in all EU member states. This marketing authorization is issued in the form of a European Commission
decision which is legally binding in its entirety to which it is addressed.
Directive 2004/27/EC introduced two parallel procedures to the centralized procedure to allow a product to be progressively authorized in each of the
member states of the EU. They are the decentralized procedure and the mutual recognition procedure. The mutual recognition procedure applies where the
product has already been authorized in a member state of the EU that will act as reference member state. The national marketing authorization granted by
the reference member state forms the basis for mutual recognition in the member states chosen by the applicant. In the decentralized procedure, the product
in question is not authorized in any one the EU member states. In such a situation, the applicant company will request a member state to act as the reference
member state to lead the scientific assessment for the benefit/risk balance for agreement by the concerned member states. In both cases, the concerned
member states have up to 90 days to accept or raise reasoned objections to the assessment made by the reference member state.
In addition, pricing and reimbursement is subject to negotiation and regulation in most countries outside the U.S. Increasingly, adoption of a new
product for use in national health services is subject to health technology assessment under the national rules and regulations to establish the clinical
effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a new treatment. In some countries, in order to contain health care expenditures, reference price is introduced in
order for the national healthcare providers to achieve a price comparable to the reference price in the same therapeutic category. We may therefore face the
risk that the resulting prices would be insufficient to generate an acceptable return to us.
Third Party Reimbursement and Pricing Controls
16

Table of Contents
All sales in the U.S. of ROLVEDON and any future commercialized products depend in part upon the availability of reimbursement from third-party
payers. Third-party payers include government health programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. ROLVEDON is
reimbursed or purchased under several government programs, including Medicaid, Medicare Parts B and D, the 340B/Public Health Service program, and
the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Significant uncertainties exist as to the coverage and reimbursement status of our current products as well as any products for which we may obtain
regulatory approval. In the U.S., sales of ROLVEDON, as well as any products for which we may receive regulatory approval for commercial sale will
depend in part on the availability of coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers. Third-party payers include government authorities, managed care
providers, private health insurers and other organizations. No uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement for drug products exists. Accordingly,
decisions regarding the extent of coverage and amount of reimbursement to be provided for any of our products will be made on a payor-by-payor basis. As
a result, the coverage determination process is often a time-consuming and costly process that will require us to provide scientific and clinical support for
the use of our products to each payor separately, with no assurance that coverage and adequate reimbursement will be obtained. The process for
determining whether a payer will provide coverage for a drug product may be separate from the process for setting the reimbursement rate that the payer
will pay for the drug product. Third-party payers may limit coverage to specific drug products on an approved list, or formulary, which might not include
all of the FDA-approved drugs for a particular indication. Moreover, a payer’s decision to provide coverage for a drug product does not imply that an
adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Adequate third-party reimbursement may not be available to enable us to maintain price levels sufficient to
realize an appropriate return on our investment in product development.
Third-party payers are increasingly challenging the price and examining the medical necessity and cost-effectiveness of medical products and
services, in addition to their safety and efficacy. In order to obtain coverage and reimbursement for our current products and any product that might be
approved for sale, we may need to conduct expensive pharmacoeconomic studies in order to demonstrate the medical necessity and cost-effectiveness of
any products, in addition to the costs required to obtain regulatory approvals. Our current product and product candidates may not be considered medically
necessary or cost-effective. If third-party payers do not consider a product to be cost-effective compared to other available therapies, they may not cover the
product after approval as a benefit under their plans or, if they do, the level of payment may not be sufficient to allow a company to sell its products at a
profit.
The U.S. government and state legislatures have shown significant interest in implementing cost containment programs to limit the growth of
government-paid healthcare costs, including price controls, limitations on coverage, increased rebates, restrictions on reimbursement and requirements for
substitution of generic products for branded prescription drugs. For example, the PPACA contains provisions that may reduce the profitability of drug
products, including, for example, increased rebates for drugs reimbursed by Medicaid programs, extension of Medicaid rebates to Medicaid managed care
plans, mandatory discounts for certain Medicare Part D beneficiaries and annual fees based on pharmaceutical companies’ share of sales to federal
healthcare programs. These and any additional healthcare reform measures could further constrain our business or limit the amounts that federal and state
governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in additional pricing pressures. Adoption of government controls and
measures, and tightening of restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could limit payments for pharmaceuticals.
The marketability of our current products and any products for which we receive regulatory approval for commercial sale may suffer if the
government and third-party payers fail to provide adequate coverage and reimbursement. In addition, the emphasis on cost containment measures in the
U.S. has increased and we expect will continue to increase the pressure on pharmaceutical pricing. Coverage policies and third-party reimbursement rates
may change at any time. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained for one or more products for which we receive regulatory
approval, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future.
Government Price Reporting
Manufacturers participate in, and have certain price reporting obligations under, the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, state Medicaid supplemental
rebate program(s), and other governmental pricing programs. Starting January 1, 2022, manufacturers are required to report the average sales price for
certain drugs under the Medicare program regardless of whether the manufacturer participates in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. Previously, this
reporting obligation extended only to manufacturers participating in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. Under this Program, manufacturers are required to
pay a rebate to each state Medicaid program for covered outpatient drugs that are dispensed to Medicaid beneficiaries and paid for by a state Medicaid
program as a condition of having federal funds being made available for their drugs under Medicaid and Part B of the Medicare program.
17

Table of Contents
Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that is administered by the states for low-income and disabled beneficiaries. Medicaid rebates are based
on pricing data reported by manufacturers on a monthly and quarterly basis to the CMS, the federal agency that administers the Medicaid and Medicare
programs. These data include the average manufacturer price and, in the case of innovator products, the best price for each drug, which, in general,
represents the lowest price available from the manufacturer to any entity in the U.S. in any pricing structure, calculated to include all sales and associated
rebates, discounts, and other price concessions. The amount of the rebate is adjusted upward if the average manufacturer price increases more than inflation
(measured by reference to the Consumer Price Index - Urban). Currently, the rebate is capped at 100 percent of the average manufacturer price, but,
effective January 1, 2024, this cap on the rebate will be removed, and our rebate liability could increase accordingly.
If a manufacturer becomes aware that its reporting for a prior quarter was incorrect, or has changed as a result of recalculating the pricing data, the
manufacturer is obligated to resubmit the corrected data for up to three years after those data originally were due, which revisions could affect rebate
liability for prior quarters. The PPACA made significant changes to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, and CMS issued a final regulation in 2016 to
implement the changes to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program under the PPACA. On December 21, 2020, CMS issued a final rule that modified Medicaid
Drug Rebate Program regulations to permit reporting multiple best price figures with regard to value‑based purchasing arrangements (beginning in 2022);
provided definitions for “line extension,” “new formulation,” and related terms with the practical effect of expanding the scope of drugs considered to be
line extensions (beginning in 2022); and revised best price and average manufacturer price exclusions of manufacturer-sponsored patient benefit programs,
particularly regarding potential inapplicability of such exclusions in the context of pharmacy benefit manager “accumulator” programs (beginning in 2023).
Medicare is a federal program that is administered by the federal government that covers individuals age 65 and over or that are disabled as well as
those with certain health conditions. Medicare Part B generally covers drugs that must be administered by physicians or other health care practitioners,
among others. Medicare Part B generally pays for such drugs under a payment methodology based on the average sales price of the drugs. Manufacturers
are required to report average sales price information to CMS on a quarterly basis. The manufacturer-submitted information is used by CMS to calculate
Medicare payment rates. Congress could enact additional changes that affect our overall rebate liability and the information manufacturers report to the
government as part of price reporting calculations. For example, the IRA, passed and signed into law in 2022, mandates that drug and biologics
manufacturers pay rebates under the Medicare Part B and Part D programs to the extent that drug prices rise faster than the rate of inflation, as measured
against a statutory benchmark period.
Civil monetary penalties can be applied if a manufacturer is (1) found to have knowingly submitted any false pricing or other information to the
government, (2) found to have made a misrepresentation in the reporting of our average sales price, or (3) fails to submit the required data on a timely
basis. Such conduct also could be grounds for CMS to terminate a Medicaid Drug Rebate Program agreement, in which case federal payments may not be
available under Medicaid or Medicare Part B for the manufacturer’s covered outpatient drugs.
Federal law requires that any company that participates in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program also participate in the Public Health Service’s 340B
drug pricing program (the “340B program”) in order for federal funds to be available for the manufacturer’s drugs under Medicaid and Medicare Part B.
The 340B program, which is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration, or HRSA, requires participating manufacturers to agree to
charge statutorily defined covered entities no more than the 340B “ceiling price” for the manufacturer’s covered outpatient drugs. Covered entities include
hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of financially needy patients, community health clinics, and other entities that receive certain types of grants
under the Public Health Service Act. The ACA expanded the list of covered entities to include certain free-standing cancer hospitals, critical access
hospitals, rural referral centers, and sole community hospitals, but exempts “orphan drugs” from the ceiling price requirements for these covered entities.
The 340B ceiling price is calculated using a statutory formula, which is based on the average manufacturer price and Medicaid rebate amount for the
covered outpatient drug as calculated under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. In general, products subject to Medicaid price reporting and rebate
liability are also subject to the 340B ceiling price calculation and discount requirement.
In 2019, HRSA issued a final regulation regarding the calculation of the 340B ceiling price and the imposition of civil monetary penalties on
manufacturers that knowingly and intentionally overcharge covered entities. It is currently unclear how HRSA will apply its enforcement authority under
this regulation. Any charge by HRSA that a manufacturer has violated the requirements of the regulation could result in civil monetary penalties. Moreover,
under a final regulation, effective January 2021, HRSA established an administrative dispute resolution (“ADR”) process for claims by covered entities that
a manufacturer has engaged in overcharging, and by manufacturers that a covered entity violated the prohibitions against diversion or duplicate discounts.
Such claims are to be resolved through an ADR panel of government officials rendering a decision that can be appealed to a federal court. An ADR
proceeding could subject a manufacturer to onerous procedural requirements and could result in additional liability. HRSA also implemented a price
reporting system under which
18

Table of Contents
manufacturers are required to report 340B ceiling prices on a quarterly basis to HRSA, which then publishes those prices to 340B covered entities. In
addition, legislation could be passed, that would further expand the 340B program to additional covered entities, or participating manufacturers could be
required to agree to provide 340B discounted pricing on drugs used in an inpatient setting.
In order to be eligible to have their products paid for with federal funds under the Medicaid and Medicare Part B program s and purchased by certain
federal agencies (VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Coast Guard, and Public Health Service (PHS)) and grantees, manufacturers must participate in the
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) pricing program. Prices for innovator drugs purchased by the VA, DoD, Coast
Guard, and PHS are subject to a cap (known as the “Federal Ceiling Price”) equal to 76% of the annual non-federal average manufacturer price (non-
FAMP) minus, if applicable, an additional discount. The additional discount applies if non-FAMP increases more than inflation (measured by reference to
the Consumer Price Index – Urban (CPIU)). In addition, in the second and subsequent year, the price also is capped at prior year FSS contract plus CPIU.
Manufacturers must also participate in the Tricare Retail Pharmacy Program, under which they pay quarterly rebates to DoD for prescriptions of innovator
drugs dispensed to Tricare beneficiaries through Tricare Retail network pharmacies. The governing statute provides for civil monetary penalties for failure
to provide information timely or for knowing submission of false information to the government.
Medicare Part D generally provides coverage to enrolled Medicare patients for self-administered drugs (i.e., drugs that are not administered by a
physician). Medicare Part D is administered by private prescription drug plans approved by the U.S. government and, subject to detailed program rules and
government oversight, each drug plan establishes its own Medicare Part D formulary for prescription drug coverage and pricing, which the drug plan may
modify from time to time. The prescription drug plans negotiate pricing with manufacturers and pharmacies, and may condition formulary placement on
the availability of manufacturer rebates. In addition, manufacturers are required to provide to CMS a 70% discount on brand name prescription drugs
utilized by Medicare Part D beneficiaries when those beneficiaries are in the coverage gap phase of the Part D benefit design. In addition to reducing
Medicare Part D beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket annual maximum from $7,050 to $2,000, starting in 2025, the IRA (passed in 2022) will allow require
manufacturers to offer a 10% or 20% discount on many brand-name drugs and biologics to Medicare Part D beneficiaries, depending on whether they have
met their out-of-pocket maximum. Civil monetary penalties can be applied if a manufacturer fails to provide these discounts. Congress also enacted in the
IRA a Medicare Part D inflation rebate, under which manufacturers would owe additional rebates if the average manufacturer price of a drug were to
increase faster than the pace of inflation.
The IRA also included provisions that would subject certain high-spend single-source drugs and biologics (i.e. without generic or biosimilar
competition) to a price negotiation process under Part B and Part D. There are some exceptions for orphan drugs, low Medicare spend drugs, and plasma-
derived products. Single-source biologics without biosimilar competition could be selected for participation in the drug price negotiation program at the
earliest 11 years after approval. It is unknown what effect the drug price negotiation provisions or inflation rebate provisions of the IRA could have on our
products. We further expect continued scrutiny on government price reporting from Congress, agencies, and other bodies. Group health plans, health
insurance issuers, health maintenance organizations, other healthcare payors, and pharmacy benefit managers in the United States are adopting more
aggressive utilization management techniques and are increasingly requiring significant discounts and rebates from manufacturers as a condition to
including products on formulary with favorable coverage and cost-sharing. These payors may not cover or adequately reimburse for use of our products or
may do so at levels that disadvantage them relative to competitive products.
Outside the United States, within the EU, our products are paid for by a variety of payors, with governments being the primary source of payment.
Government health authorities in the EU determine or influence reimbursement of products, and set prices or otherwise regulate pricing. Negotiating prices
with governmental authorities can delay commercialization of our products. Governments may use a variety of cost-containment measures to control the
cost of products, including price cuts, mandatory rebates, value-based pricing, and reference pricing (i.e., referencing prices in other countries or prices of
competitive products and using those reference prices to set a price). Budgetary pressures in many EU countries are continuing to cause governments to
consider or implement various cost-containment measures, such as price freezes, increased price cuts and rebates, and expanded generic substitution and
patient cost-sharing. Recently, several states also have enacted or are considering legislation intended to make drug prices more transparent and deter
significant price increases that impose reporting requirements on biopharmaceutical companies. These laws may affect our future sales, marketing, and
other promotional activities by imposing administrative and compliance burdens. Such laws also typically impose significant civil monetary penalties for
each instance of reporting noncompliance that can quickly aggregate into the millions of dollars.
Healthcare Fraud and Abuse Laws
19

Table of Contents
We are also subject to numerous fraud and abuse laws and regulations globally. In the U.S., there are a variety of federal and state laws restricting
certain marketing practices in the pharmaceutical industry pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws and false claims laws. Our
sales, marketing, patient support and medical activities may be subject to scrutiny under these laws. The U.S. federal healthcare program Anti-Kickback
Statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving anything of value to induce (or in return for) the
referral of business, including the purchase, recommendation or prescription of a particular drug reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other federally
financed healthcare programs. The statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements between pharmaceutical companies on one hand and patients,
prescribers, purchasers and formulary managers on the other. Although there are a number of statutory exemptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting
certain common manufacturer business arrangements and activities from prosecution and administrative sanction, the exemptions and safe harbors are
drawn narrowly and are subject to regulatory revision or changes in interpretation by the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, and the Office of Inspector
General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or OIG. Recent regulations that eliminate the discount safe harbor protection for
manufacturer rebates paid directly, or indirectly through a pharmacy benefit manager (“PBM”) to Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plans, have been
delayed by the IRA until January 1, 2032. Practices or arrangements that involve remuneration may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an
exemption or safe harbor. Violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute may be established without providing specific intent to violate the statute, and
may be punishable by civil, criminal, and administrative fines and penalties, damages, imprisonment, and/or exclusion from participation in federal
healthcare programs.
The federal civil False Claims Act prohibits, among other things, any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or
fraudulent claim for payment of federal funds, or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement to get a false claim paid, or knowingly and
improperly avoiding, decreasing or concealing an obligation to pay money to the federal government. A claim resulting from a violation of the federal
Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim. The False Claims Act also permits a private individual acting as a “whistleblower” to bring
actions on behalf of themselves and the federal government alleging violations of the statute and to share in any monetary recovery. Violations of the False
Claims Act may result in significant financial penalties (including mandatory penalties on a per claim or statement basis), treble damages and exclusion
from participation in federal health care programs.
Pharmaceutical companies are subject to other federal false claim and statements laws, some of which extend to non-government health benefit
programs. For example, the healthcare fraud provisions under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing
regulations, or HIPAA, impose criminal liability for, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud
any health care benefit program, including private third party payors, or falsifying or covering up a material fact or making any materially false or
fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services. Violations of HIPAA fraud provisions may
result in criminal, civil and administrative penalties, fines and damages, including exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs.
The majority of states have adopted analogous laws and regulations, including state anti-kickback and false claims laws, that may apply to our
business practices, including but not limited to, research, distribution, sales and marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services
reimbursed by any third-party payer, including private insurers. Other states have adopted laws that, among other things, require pharmaceutical companies
to comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the U.S. federal
government, or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources, and state laws and regulations
that require drug manufacturers to file reports relating to pricing and marketing information, which requires tracking gifts and other remuneration and items
of value provided to healthcare professionals and entities. In addition, some states have laws requiring pharmaceutical sales representatives to be registered
or licensed, and still others impose limits on co-pay assistance that pharmaceutical companies can offer to patients.
The Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to track and disclose to the federal government certain payments and
transfers of value provided to U.S.-licensed physicians, certain non-physician licensed healthcare practitioners, and teaching hospitals as well as ownership
interests held by physicians and their families, and reporting to the federal government and public disclosure by the federal government of this data.

Risks Related to Our Business
•
We have a history of net losses. We expect to continue to incur net losses and may not achieve profitability for some time, if at all.
•
ROLVEDON may cause adverse events or other safety concerns or have other properties that could limit the scope of market acceptance.
•
Even with regulatory approval for ROLVEDON, we will still face extensive regulatory requirements and ROLVEDON may face future regulatory
difficulties.
•
If we are unable to continue to successfully develop poziotinib or any of our future pipeline product candidates, our business, prospects, operating
results, and financial condition will be materially harmed.
•
Although we generate revenue from commercial sales, there is no guarantee of future commercial sales, and any future commercial sales may not
be sufficient to sustain our business operations.
•
The COVID-19 pandemic and any similar future outbreaks could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our business and our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.
•
The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are intensely competitive. We are aware of several competitors attempting to develop and market
products competitive to our commercial product and in-development product candidates, which may reduce or eliminate our commercial
opportunities in the future.
•
We are highly dependent upon Hanmi, as the sole supplier for ROLVEDON drug substance.
•
Our supply of APIs, and drug products is and will remain dependent upon the production capabilities of contract manufacturing organizations
(“CMOs”) and other third-parties for related supplies and logistical services.
•
Reports of adverse events or safety concerns involving our commercial product or in-development products or similar agents, could delay or
prevent us from obtaining or maintaining regulatory approval or negatively impact sales.
•
A significant portion of our revenue has historically been derived from a limited number of distributors - and is expected to persist for our
commercial and in-development drugs upon potential FDA approval.
•
We are a small company relative to our principal competitors, and our limited financial resources may limit our ability to develop and market our
product and product candidates.
•
If actual future payments for allowances for discounts, returns, rebates and chargebacks exceed the estimates we made at the time of the sale of
our products, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows may be materially and negatively impacted.
•
Our business strategy requires that we engage in transactions that increase our capital requirements, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent
liabilities, and possibly dilute our stockholders.
•
We may rely on CROs and other third parties to conduct clinical trials and, in such cases, we are unable to directly control the timing, conduct and
expense of our clinical trials.
•
Competition for patients in conducting clinical trials may prevent or delay product development and strain our limited financial resources.
22

Table of Contents
•
The potential size of the market for our product and product candidates is uncertain.
Risks Related to Our Industry
•
The future sale of our product candidates will be (and has historically been) subject to regulatory approvals and requirements. If we are unable to
obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, or if we fail to comply with governmental regulations, we will be limited in our ability to
commercialize or sell our product and product candidates domestically or abroad and/or will be subject to penalties.
•
Failure to obtain regulatory approval outside the U.S. will prevent us from marketing our product candidates abroad.
•
Even if we receive regulatory approval to market our product candidates, the market may not be receptive to our product candidates upon their
commercial introduction, which would negatively impact our ability to achieve profitability.
•
Legislative or regulatory reform of the healthcare system and pharmaceutical industry related to pricing, coverage or reimbursement may hurt our
ability to sell our products profitably or at all.
•
Governmental pricing regulations could adversely affect our negotiated pricing, or limit product coverage and reimbursements which may
adversely impact our operating results and our business.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
•
Future issuances of our common stock or other dilutive instruments, may materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock and cause
dilution to our existing stockholders.
•
The market price and trading volume of our common stock fluctuate significantly and could result in substantial losses for individual investors.
•
We have not been in compliance with the requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market for continued listing and if NASDAQ does not concur that
we have adequately remedied our noncompliance, our common stock may be delisted from trading on NASDAQ, which could have a material
adverse effect on us and our shareholders.
Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property
•
If we are unable to adequately protect our technology or enforce our patent rights, our business could suffer, and intellectual property rights don’t
necessarily address all potential threats.
•
If we fail to comply with our obligations in the agreements under which we license intellectual property rights from third parties or otherwise
experience disruptions to our business relationships with our licensors, we could lose intellectual property rights that are important to our business.
•
An inability to protect our patents or trade secrets will have an adverse effect on our business, and patent terms may be inadequate to protect us
from competitors.
•
Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and
our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.
•
We may be involved in additional lawsuits to defend or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful.
General Risk Factors
•
We are subject to the risks of securities and related litigation, which may expose us to substantial liabilities and could seriously harm our business.
•
Global, market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and share price.
For a more complete discussion of the material risks facing our business, see below.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of net losses. We expect to continue to incur net losses and may not achieve profitability for some time, if at all.
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had net losses of $75.4 million and $158.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we
had an accumulated deficit of $1.1 billion.
We have incurred these losses principally from costs incurred in our research and development programs and from our selling, general and
administrative expenses. If we choose to re-prioritize poziotinib development activities, that will cause us to continue to spend substantial amounts on
research and development. Additionally, we expect to spend substantial amounts on the commercialization of ROLVEDON. Accordingly, we expect to
continue to incur net losses in the foreseeable future and may not achieve profitability for some time, if at all. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may
not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market value of our
common stock will likely continue to decline.

Our business is significantly dependent on the successful commercialization of ROLVEDON in the United States and its approval and
commercialization in other countries.
ROLVEDON received FDA approval in September 2022 to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in adult patients
with nonmyeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs. With our de-prioritization of poziotinib in November 2022, we are
significantly dependent on the successful commercialization of ROLVEDON in the United States and its approval and commercialization in other
countries. This may make an investment in our company riskier than similar companies that have multiple products in their portfolio and/or multiple
product candidates in active development and that therefore may be able to better sustain a failure of a single product. The success of our business,
including our ability to finance our company and generate any revenue in the future, will, at this point, depend entirely on the commercialization of
ROLVEDON in the United States. Any failure to successfully commercialize ROLVEDON in the United States or obtain regulatory approval of and
commercialize ROLVEDON outside the United States would have a material and adverse impact on our business. If the markets or patient subsets that we
are targeting are not as significant as we estimate, we may not generate significant revenues from sales of ROLVEDON.
The commercial success of ROLVEDON will depend on a number of factors, including the following:
•
our ability to raise any additional required capital to support the commercialization on acceptable terms, or at all;
•
our ability to consistently manufacture ROLVEDON on a timely basis;
•
the prevalence, duration and severity of potential side effects or other safety issues that patients may experience with ROLVEDON;
•
achieving and maintaining, and, where applicable, ensuring that our third-party contractors achieve and maintain, compliance with our contractual
obligations and with all regulatory requirements applicable to ROLVEDON;
•
the differentiation of ROLVEDON from other available approved or investigational drugs and treatments for patients with chemotherapy-induced
neutropenia, and the willingness of physicians, operators of hospitals and clinics and patients to adopt and utilize ROLVEDON;
•
the timely receipt of necessary marketing approvals from foreign regulatory authorities;
•
our ability to successfully develop a commercial strategy and commercialize ROLVEDON internationally, if approved for marketing, sale and
distribution in such countries and territories, whether alone or in collaboration with others;
•
the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement from managed care plans, private insurers, government payors (such as Medicare and
Medicaid and similar foreign authorities) and other third-party payors for ROLVEDON;
•
patients’ ability and willingness to pay out-of-pocket for ROLVEDON in the absence of coverage and/or adequate reimbursement from third-party
payors;
•
patient demand for ROLVEDON;
•
our ability to establish and enforce intellectual property rights in and to ROLVEDON; and
•
our ability to avoid third-party patent interference, intellectual property challenges or intellectual property infringement claims.
These factors, many of which are beyond our control, could cause us to experience significant delays or an inability to obtain regulatory approvals or
commercialize ROLVEDON. While we have obtained regulatory approval of ROLVEDON in the United States, we may never be able to successfully
commercialize ROLVEDON in the United States or receive regulatory approval of ROLVEDON outside the United States. Accordingly, we cannot provide
assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue through the sale of ROLVEDON to continue our business or achieve profitability.
ROLVEDON may cause adverse events or other safety concerns or have other properties that could limit the scope of market acceptance, limit the
commercial profile of its approved label, or result in significant negative consequences following regulatory approval.
Adverse events caused by ROLVEDON could cause us, IRBs, clinical study sites or regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay or halt clinical studies
and could result in a more restrictive label or the delay, denial or withdrawal of regulatory approval by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory
authorities. Clinical studies conducted with ROLVEDON have generated some adverse events. Additional adverse events could be generated during future
clinical trials or clinical use. Our commercialization of ROLVEDON could be adversely impacted by adverse events, serious adverse events (“SAEs”) or
other safety concerns.
24

Table of Contents
Even though ROLVEDON has already received regulatory approval in the United States, if it is shown to cause serious or unexpected side effects
after receiving market approval, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result, including:
•
regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of ROLVEDON or impose restrictions on its distribution;
•
regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as warnings or contraindications;
•
we may be required to change the way ROLVEDON is administered or conduct additional clinical studies;
•
we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients; and/or
•
our reputation may suffer.
Any of these events could prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of ROLVEDON, limit the commercial profile of its approved
label, and could substantially increase the costs of commercializing ROLVEDON, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Even with regulatory approval for ROLVEDON, we will still face extensive regulatory requirements and ROLVEDON may face future regulatory
difficulties.
Even with regulatory approval of ROLVEDON in the United States or if approved in other countries, the FDA and comparable regulatory authorities
in other countries may still impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of ROLVEDON or impose ongoing requirements for
potentially costly post-approval studies or post-marketing surveillance. ROLVEDON is subject to ongoing FDA requirements governing the labeling,
packaging, storage, distribution, safety surveillance, advertising, promotion, record-keeping and reporting of safety and other post-marketing information.
The holder of an approved BLA is obligated to monitor and report adverse events and any failure of a product to meet the specifications in the BLA. The
holder of an approved BLA must also submit new or supplemental applications and obtain FDA approval for certain changes to the approved product,
product labeling or manufacturing process. Advertising and promotional materials must comply with FDA rules and are subject to FDA review, in addition
to other potentially applicable federal and state laws.
The applicable regulations in countries outside the United States grant similar powers to the competent authorities and impose similar obligations on
companies. In addition, manufacturers and their facilities are subject to payment of substantial user fees and continual review and periodic inspections by
the FDA and other regulatory authorities, including equivalent regulatory authorities in other countries, for compliance with cGMP regulations and
adherence to commitments made in the BLA or the application for marketing authorization. For certain commercial prescription products, manufacturers
and other parties involved in the supply chain must also meet chain of distribution requirements and build electronic, interoperable systems for product
tracking and tracing and for notifying the FDA of counterfeit, diverted, stolen and intentionally adulterated products or other products that are otherwise
unfit for distribution in the U.S. The FDA and other regulatory authorities may also impose requirements for costly post-marketing studies or clinical trials
and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of a product. For example, for ROLVEDON, we have post-marketing requirements to conduct certain
pediatric assessments, including the development of an appropriate formulation for pediatric patients 1 month to less than 17 years of age. If we or a
regulatory authority discover previously unknown problems with ROLVEDON, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems
with a facility where the product is manufactured, a regulatory authority may impose restrictions relative to ROLVEDON or the manufacturing facility,
including requiring recall or withdrawal of the product from the market, suspension of manufacturing, or other FDA action or other action by the equivalent
regulatory authorities in other countries. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements following approval of ROLVEDON, a regulatory
authority may:
•     issue a warning letter, untitled letter or Form 483 asserting that we are in violation of the law;
•    seek an injunction or impose civil or criminal penalties or monetary fines;
•    suspend, modify or withdraw regulatory approval;
•     suspend any ongoing clinical trials;
•     impose restrictions on the manufacturing, labeling, marketing, or distribution or use of our product;
•     refuse to approve pending supplements to our approved BLA for ROLVEDON;
•     seize our product;
•     recall our product;
•     restrict coverage by third-party payors or exclude our product from federal health care programs;
•     refuse to permit the import or export of our product; and/or
25

Table of Contents
•     refuse to allow us to enter into supply contracts, including government contracts.
If any of the above were to occur, our ability to successfully commercialize ROLVEDON and achieve profitability could be negatively impacted,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur significant liability if governmental authorities allege or determine that we are engaging in commercial activities or promoting
ROLVEDON in a way that violates applicable regulations.
Physicians have the discretion to prescribe drug products for uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those approved
by the FDA or other applicable regulatory agencies. Off-label uses are common across medical specialties. Although the FDA and other regulatory
agencies do not regulate a physician’s choice of treatments, the FDA and other regulatory agencies regulate a manufacturer’s communications regarding
off-label use and prohibit off-label promotion, as well as the dissemination of false or misleading labeling or promotional materials. Manufacturers may not
promote drugs for off-label uses. Accordingly, we may not promote ROLVEDON in the U.S. for any indications other than its FDA-approved indication.
The FDA and other regulatory and enforcement authorities enforce laws and regulations prohibiting promotion of off-label uses and the promotion of
products for which marketing approval has not been obtained. A company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses, including promoting
unapproved dosing regimens, may be subject to significant liability, which may include civil and administrative remedies as well as criminal sanctions.
Notwithstanding regulations related to product promotion, the FDA and other regulatory authorities allow companies to engage in truthful, non-
misleading, and non-promotional scientific exchange concerning their products. We currently, and intend to increasingly, engage in medical education
activities and communicate with healthcare providers in compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory guidance.
Even with FDA approval for ROLVEDON in the United States, we may never obtain approval for or commercialize ROLVEDON outside of the
United States, which would limit our ability to realize its full market potential.
In order to market ROLVEDON outside of the United States, we must establish and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of
other countries regarding quality, safety and efficacy. Clinical trials conducted in one country may not be accepted by regulatory authorities in other
countries, and regulatory approval in one country does not mean that regulatory approval will be obtained in any other country. Approval processes vary
among countries and can involve additional product testing and validation and additional administrative review periods. Seeking foreign regulatory
approval could result in difficulties and costs for us and require additional non- clinical studies or clinical trials, which could be costly and time-consuming.
Regulatory requirements can vary widely from country to country and could delay or prevent the introduction of ROLVEDON in those countries. While
our management has experience in obtaining foreign regulatory approvals, we, as a company, do not have experience in obtaining regulatory approval in
international markets. If we fail to comply with regulatory requirements in international markets or to obtain and maintain required approvals, or if
regulatory approval in international markets is delayed, our target market will be reduced, and our ability to realize the full market potential of
ROLVEDON will be adversely affected.
For example, in the European Union, similar to the United States’ regulatory framework for medicinal products, both marketing authorization holders
and manufacturers of medicinal products are subject to comprehensive regulatory oversight by the EMA and the competent authorities of the individual
European Union Member States both before and after the grant of manufacturing and marketing authorizations. This includes oversight of compliance with
European Union GMP standards, which govern quality control of the manufacturing process and require the documentation of policies and procedures. We
and our third-party manufacturers are required to ensure that all of our processes, methods, and equipment are compliant with GMP standards. Failure by
us or by any of our third-party partners, including suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors to comply with European Union laws and the related national
laws of individual European Union Member States governing the conduct of clinical trials, manufacturing authorizations, marketing authorizations of
medicinal products, both before and after the grant of such authorizations, may result in administrative, civil, or criminal penalties. These penalties could
include delays in or refusal to authorize the conduct of clinical trials or to grant marketing authorization, product withdrawals and recalls, product seizures,
suspension, or variation of the marketing authorization, total or partial suspension of production, distribution, manufacturing, or clinical trials, operating
restrictions, injunctions, suspension of licenses, fines, and criminal penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to identify a strategic partner with appropriate sales and marketing capabilities to sell ROLVEDON in markets outside of the
United States, if approved, and enter into a strategic partnership on commercially acceptable terms with such partner, we may be unable to generate
sufficient revenue from ROLVEDON to achieve profitability.
26

Table of Contents
To date, we have not entered into any strategic partnerships for the commercialization of ROLVEDON in the United States; however, we may enter
into a strategic partnership to commercialize ROLVEDON outside of the United States, if approved. We face significant competition in seeking appropriate
strategic partners, and these strategic partnerships can be intricate and time-consuming to negotiate and document. We may not be able to negotiate
strategic partnerships on acceptable terms, or at all. We are unable to predict when, if ever, we will enter into any strategic partnerships because of the
numerous risks and uncertainties associated with establishing strategic partnerships. In addition, our future collaboration partners, if any, may not dedicate
sufficient resources to the commercialization of ROLVEDON outside of the United States or may otherwise fail in their commercialization efforts due to
factors beyond our control. If we are unable to establish effective collaborations to enable the sale of ROLVEDON outside of the United States, if
approved, or if our potential future collaboration partners do not successfully commercialize ROLVEDON in such countries, our ability to generate
revenues from ROLVEDON will be adversely affected.
If we obtain approval to commercialize ROLVEDON outside of the United States, a variety of risks associated with international operations could
materially adversely affect our business.
We may enter into agreements with third parties to seek approval for and market ROLVEDON outside the United States. We expect that we will be
subject to additional risks related to entering into international business relationships, including:
•
different regulatory requirements for drug approvals in foreign countries;
•
reduced protection for intellectual property rights;
•
unexpected changes in tariffs, trade barriers and regulatory requirements;
•
economic weakness, including inflation, or political instability in particular foreign economies and markets;
•
compliance with tax, employment, immigration and labor laws for employees living or traveling abroad;
•
foreign taxes, including withholding of payroll taxes;
•
foreign currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced revenues, and other obligations incident to doing
business in another country;
•
workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States;
•
production shortages resulting from any events affecting raw material supply or manufacturing capabilities abroad;
•
lower pricing of products in our market segment or in general; and
•
business interruptions resulting from geopolitical actions, including war and terrorism, or natural disasters including earthquakes, typhoons, floods
and fires.
The realization of any of these risks would negatively affect our ability to attain or sustain profitability.
If we are unable to continue to successfully develop poziotinib or any of our future pipeline product candidates, our business, prospects, operating
results, and financial condition will be materially harmed.
The announcement of any negative or unexpected data, any delay in our anticipated timelines for filing for regulatory approval, or a significant
advancement of a competitor, may cause our stock price to decline significantly and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and
prospects. In addition, clinical trial results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals. There
is no assurance that data from our clinical trials will support filings for regulatory approval of any of our pipeline product candidates, or even if approved,
that our product candidates will become commercially successful for all approved indications. In addition, we may experience significant setbacks in our
advanced clinical trials, even after promising results in earlier trials, including unexpected adverse events. Any deficiencies in our clinical trial operations
or other unexpected adverse events impacting such trials could cause increased costs, program delays or both, which may harm our business.
If any of our pipeline product candidates fail at any stage of development, or we otherwise determine to discontinue development of our product
candidates, we will not have the anticipated revenues from that product, and we may not receive any return of our investment on it. Consequently, our stock
price could decline significantly and there could be an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
27

Table of Contents
For example, we announced the submission of an NDA for poziotinib for use in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic non-
small cell lung cancer with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations in December 2021. In February of 2022, we announced that the FDA accepted the NDA,
provided a PDUFA action date of November 24, 2022, and reiterated the importance of having the confirmatory trial substantially enrolled at the time of
approval and requested additional information around dosing. On September 22, 2022, we met with the FDA’s ODAC. The ODAC committee voted 9 (no)
– 4 (yes) that the current benefits of poziotinib did not outweigh its risks. On November 25, 2022, we announced that we had received a Complete
Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA regarding our NDA, indicating that the NDA could not be approved in its present form and that based on the CRL,
we would have to generate additional data including a randomized controlled study prior to approval. We also announced that we are de-prioritizing
poziotinib program activities. If we are unable to obtain approval for the poziotinib NDA, or any of our other future pipeline products, our business,
prospects, operating results, and financial condition will be materially harmed.
Clinical trials may fail to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, which could prevent or significantly delay obtaining
regulatory approval.
Prior to receiving approval to commercialize any of our product candidates, we must demonstrate with substantial evidence from well-controlled
clinical trials, and to the satisfaction of the FDA, and other regulatory authorities in the U.S. and other countries, that our product candidates are both safe
and effective. For each product candidate, we will need to demonstrate its efficacy and monitor its safety throughout the process. If such development is
unsuccessful, our business and reputation would be harmed and our stock price would be adversely affected.
Each clinical trial requires investment of substantial financial and personnel resources. The commencement and completion of a clinical trial may be
delayed by various factors, including scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions, difficulties in identifying and enrolling
patients who meet trial eligibility criteria, failure of patients to complete the clinical trial, delays in accumulating the required number of clinical events for
data analysis, delay or failure to obtain the required approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site, and shortages of available drug supply.
Any of our product candidates are prone to the risks of failure inherent in drug development. Clinical trials of new product candidates or for new
indications sufficient to obtain regulatory marketing approval are expensive, uncertain, and take years to complete. We may not be able to successfully
complete clinical testing within the time frame we have planned, or at all. Moreover, the outcome of a clinical trial is often uncertain. We may experience
numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, the clinical trial process that could delay or prevent us from receiving regulatory approval or
commercializing our product candidates. In this regard, reports of adverse events or concerns involving our product candidates could interrupt, delay or halt
clinical trials of such product candidates or could result in our inability to obtain regulatory approvals for such product candidates. In addition, the results
of pre-clinical studies and early-stage clinical trials of our product candidates do not necessarily predict the results of later-stage clinical trials. Later-stage
clinical trials may fail to demonstrate that a product candidate is safe and effective despite having progressed through initial clinical testing. Even if we
believe the data collected from clinical trials of our product candidates is promising, data are susceptible to varying interpretations, and such data may not
be sufficient to support approval by the FDA or any other U.S. or foreign regulatory approval. Pre-clinical and clinical data can be interpreted in different
ways.
Accordingly, FDA officials could interpret such data in different ways than we or our partners do which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory
approval. The FDA, other regulatory authorities, institutional review boards (“IRBs”), our contract research organizations, or we may suspend or terminate
our clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure or significant delay in completing clinical trials for our product candidates, or in receiving
regulatory approval for the sale of any drugs or biologics resulting from our product candidates, may severely harm our business and reputation and may
cause our stock price to decline. Even if we receive FDA and other regulatory approvals, our products may later exhibit adverse effects that may limit or
prevent their widespread use, may cause the FDA to revoke, suspend or limit their approval, or may force us to withdraw products derived from those drug
products from the market. Furthermore, there is the risk that additional post-marketing requirements may be imposed by the FDA in the future on our
products.
Moreover, the commencement and completion of clinical trials may be delayed by many factors that are beyond our control, including:
•
delays obtaining regulatory approval to commence a trial;
•
delays in reaching agreement on acceptable terms with CROs and clinical trial sites;
•
delays in obtaining IRB approval at each site;
28

Table of Contents
•
slower than anticipated patient enrollment or our inability to recruit and enroll patients to participate in clinical trials for various reasons, including
the COVID-19 pandemic;
•
our inability to retain patients who have initiated a clinical trial;
•
scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions;
•
lack of funding to start or continue the clinical trial, including as a result of unforeseen costs due to enrollment delays, requirements to conduct
additional trials and studies and increased expenses associated with our CROs and other third parties;
•
negative or inconclusive results;
•
deficiencies in the conduct of the clinical trial, including failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements, GCP, or
clinical protocols;
•
deficiencies in the clinical trial operations or trial sites resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold;
•
patient noncompliance with the protocol;
•
adverse medical events or side effects experienced by patients during the clinical trials as a result of or resulting from the clinical trial treatments;
•
fatalities or other adverse events arising during a clinical trial due to medical problems that may not be related to clinical trial treatments;
•
our ability to sustain the quality or stability of the applicable product candidate in compliance with acceptable standards;
•
our inability to produce or obtain sufficient quantities of the applicable product candidate to complete the clinical trials;
•
changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions that adversely affect our ability to continue to conduct or complete clinical trials;
•
negative or problematic FDA inspections of our clinical operations or manufacturing operations; and
•
real or perceived lack of effectiveness or safety.
We could encounter delays if a clinical trial is suspended or terminated by us, the IRBs of the clinical trial sites in which such trials are being
conducted, or by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. Such authorities may impose such a suspension or termination due to a number of factors,
including failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or our clinical protocols, inspection of the clinical trial operations
or trial site by the FDA or other regulatory authorities resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold, unforeseen safety issues or adverse side effects, failure
to demonstrate a benefit from using a drug, changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions or lack of adequate funding to continue the
clinical trial. Any delays, interruptions or halts in our clinical trials involving any of our product candidates or other adverse events negatively impacting
our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for such product candidates in a timely manner could adversely affect our overall profitability, results of
operations and financial condition and prospects.
Although we generate revenue from commercial sales, there is no guarantee of future commercial sales and any future commercial sales may not
be sufficient to sustain our business operations.
We generate revenue from commercial sales for ROLVEDON. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate future revenue and it is possible
we may generate no revenue if, among other reasons, our suppliers encounter manufacturing problems, our product causes undesirable side effects, or the
FDA limits or otherwise prohibits the commercial sale of ROLVEDON in the future. In addition, any future commercial sales of ROLVEDON may not be
sufficient to sustain our business operations.
We do not have approval from the FDA for the commercial sale of poziotinib and we do not generate any revenue from poziotinib or any other
pipeline product candidate. We will not generate any future revenue from our pipeline product candidates, including poziotinib, until there is approval for
commercial sale by the FDA and/or other regulatory agencies. There is no guarantee as to when, if ever, our pipeline products will be approved for
commercial sale. Accordingly, we may need to raise additional capital to fund our business operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through
the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, it could result in further dilution to our stockholders and adversely impact our stock price.

A significant portion of our revenue has historically been derived from a limited number of distributors - and is expected to persist for our
commercial product and in-development product candidates upon potential FDA approval.
We expect that a significant portion of our future revenue will depend on sales to a limited number of distributors. Any distributors we may use
comprise a significant part of the distribution network for pharmaceutical products in the U.S. and a small number of large distributors and wholesalers
control a significant share of the market, which can increase competitive and pricing pressures on pharmaceutical manufacturers, including us. In addition,
wholesalers may apply pricing pressure through their fee-for-service arrangements. Any reduction in the prices we receive for our products could adversely
impact our revenues and financial condition. In addition, any individual distributor could choose to stop selling our product at any time, and without notice.
If we lose our relationship with any of our future significant distributors, we would experience disruption and delays in marketing our products and could
also experience declines in our revenues, which in turn could materially adversely impact our financial condition.
COVID-19 and other pandemics, epidemics, or outbreaks of a contagious illness could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our business and
our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.
COVID-19, the further spread of COVID-19, additional coronavirus outbreaks, or other pandemics, epidemics, or outbreaks of a contagious illness,
and similar events, may have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. The impacts may include, but would not be limited to:
•
Disruption to operations due to the unavailability of employees due to illness, quarantines, risk of illness, travel restrictions or factors that limit our
existing or potential workforce;
•
Increased cyber security risks due to remote working environment;
•
Limitations to the availability of our key personnel due to travel restrictions;
•
Elevated employee turnover, which may increase payroll expense and recruiting-related expenses;
•
Delays in the initiation and enrollment of clinical trials;
•
Supply chain disruptions, which could impair our ability to continue our research and development activities; and
•
Significant disruption of the global financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital in the future.
The extent of the adverse impact of COVID-19 or any other public health outbreak on our operations will depend on the extent and severity of the
continued spread of the disease globally, the timing and nature of actions taken to respond to it and the resulting economic consequences. Ultimately,
efforts to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 or any other public health outbreak may not completely prevent our business from being adversely affected and
future impacts remain uncertain.
Reports of adverse events or safety concerns involving our commercial product, in-development product candidates or similar agents, could delay or
prevent us from obtaining or maintaining regulatory approval or negatively impact sales.
Our commercial product or in-development product candidates may cause SAEs. In addition to the risks associated with known SAEs, discovery of
previously unknown problems with a product or product candidate, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, could interrupt, delay
or halt clinical trials of such product or product candidate, including the FDA-required post-approval studies, and could result in the FDA or other
regulatory authorities denying or withdrawing approval of our products for any or all indications. The FDA, other regulatory authorities or we may suspend
or terminate clinical trials at any time. We may also be required to update the package inserts based on reports of adverse events or safety concerns or
implement a REMS, which could adversely affect such product’s acceptance in the market. In addition, the public perception of our product and product
candidates might be adversely affected, which could harm our business and results of operations and cause the market price of our common stock to
decline, even if the concern relates to another company’s product or product candidate. Our planned trials to demonstrate efficacy in a variety of indications
and to better manage side effect profiles of certain of our product and product candidates may not be successful and there are no assurances that patients
receiving our product or product candidates will not experience SAEs in the future.
Future reports of SAEs or safety concerns involving any of our product or product candidates could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and prospects.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are intensely competitive. We are aware of several competitors attempting to develop and market
products competitive to our commercial product and in-development product candidates, which may reduce or eliminate our commercial opportunities
in the future.
The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological changes. A number of
companies are pursuing the development of pharmaceuticals and products that target the same diseases and conditions that our commercial product and
pipeline product candidates target. We cannot predict with accuracy the timing or impact of the introduction of potentially competitive products or their
possible effect on our future sales. Certain potentially competitive products to our commercial and in-development product candidates are in various stages
of development, some of which have pending applications for approval with the FDA or have been approved by regulatory authorities in other countries.
Also, there are many ongoing studies with currently marketed products and other investigational products, which may yield new data that could adversely
impact the use of our commercial product or upon potential FDA approval of any of our pipeline product candidates. Our in-development product
candidates or future product candidates may become obsolete before we recover the expenses incurred in their development. The introduction of
competitive products or the development of technological advances that compete with our product or product candidates could significantly reduce
anticipated future sales, which, in turn would adversely impact our financial and operating results.
We are highly dependent upon Hanmi, as the sole supplier for ROLVEDON drug substance.
In February 2018, we entered into a non-exclusive supply agreement with Hanmi which was amended and restated in December 2019 and further
amended and restated in January 2022, through which Hanmi manufactures and supplies drug substance for ROLVEDON.
Hanmi manufactures the ROLVEDON drug substance at its facility in South Korea. As Hanmi is our only approved ROLVEDON drug substance
manufacturer and the production of all of our ROLVEDON drug substance is at a single location, we are exposed to the risk that Hanmi’s facility may be
harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man-made disasters or pandemics, which could render it difficult or impossible for Hanmi to perform its
manufacturing activities for some time. At this time there are no plans to establish a redundant manufacturing facility to reduce this risk. If there is a supply
deficiency, Hanmi is required to notify us of the deficiency and, in such circumstances, we are required under the supply agreement to work with Hanmi to
cure its supply failure. Furthermore, if Hanmi fails to comply with applicable regulatory requirements and maintain the FDA clearances related to the
manufacturing of the drug substance, we may be unable to maintain commercial supply of ROLVEDON on a timely basis, or at all.
If Hanmi is unable to supply the drug substance to manufacture ROLVEDON reliably and at the levels we anticipate or that are required by the
market, we may be unable to approve a substitute drug substance manufacturer on a timely basis, if at all. Our ability to sell ROLVEDON commercially
depends, in part, on our ability to obtain such drug substance in accordance with regulatory requirements and in sufficient quantities for commercial supply.
As such, we are highly dependent upon Hanmi’s continued ability to supply drug substance at the levels we require. If Hanmi is unable to supply
ROLVEDON drug substance at the levels we require, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations
and adversely affect our ability to satisfy demand for ROLVEDON, which could materially adversely affect our product sales and operating results.
Our supply of APIs and drug products is and will remain dependent upon the production capabilities of CMOs and other third-parties for related
supplies and logistical services. Some of these vendors are based overseas. If our CMOs and other suppliers are not able to meet our requirements or
the requirements of the FDA, we may be unable to obtain approval for our product candidates. Even if we do obtain approval for our product
candidates, we may be limited in our ability to meet demand for our products, ensure regulatory compliance, or maximize profit on the future sale of
our products. Any manufacturing related disruptions could create significant demand on our limited capital resources, and there can be no assurance
that we would be able to continue as a going concern. In addition, our dependence on these ex-U.S. vendors also subjects us to business interruption
risks related to COVID-19, and/or similar outbreaks, which could have a material adverse impact on us.
31

Table of Contents
We have no internal manufacturing capacity for APIs or our drug products. We therefore have entered into agreements with CMOs and other
suppliers to supply us with APIs and our finished drug products. Success in the development and marketing of our product and product candidates depends,
in part, upon our ability to maintain, expand and enhance these existing relationships and establish new sources of supply. The manufacture of APIs and
finished drug products, including the acquisition of compounds used in the manufacture of the finished drug products, may require considerable lead times.
We have little or no control over the production processes of third-party manufacturers, CMOs or other suppliers. Some of the third-party manufacturing
facilities used in the production of APIs and our drug products are located outside of the U.S. and require FDA approval, which our third-party
manufacturers may have limited experience with obtaining. Our CMOs and other suppliers are subject to inspection by the FDA and may receive
observations that they may not be able to resolve in a timely or effective manner, which could impact whether our products can be approved on a timely
basis, if at all, or in the case of commercial product, whether it can continue to be commercially sold.
The manufacture of pharmaceutical products requires significant expertise and capital investment, including the development of manufacturing and
testing techniques, process controls, and scaling of production to meet commercial requirements. Manufacturers of pharmaceutical products often
encounter difficulties during preparation for production, including technical challenges production costs, yields, quality control and assurance. If
manufacturing deficiencies are noted by the FDA at any of the manufacturing facilities utilized in our products, there can be no assurance that we, or our
CMOs, can resolve these manufacturing deficiencies on a timely basis, if at all. Any manufacturing-related disruptions could create significant demand on
our limited capital resources, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to source APIs and drug products is also dependent on providers of logistical services who may be subject to disruptions that we cannot
predict or sufficiently plan around. Accordingly, while we do not currently anticipate shortages of supply, circumstances could arise in which we will not
have adequate supplies to timely meet our requirements or market demand for a particular drug product could outstrip the ability of our supply source to
timely manufacture and deliver the product, thereby causing us to lose sales. In addition, our ability to make a profit on the sale of our drug products
depends on our ability to obtain favorable pricing for these arrangements.
If problems arise during the manufacture of a batch of our product or product candidates, that batch of product may have to be discarded. This could,
among other things, lead to increased costs, lost revenue, damage to customer relations, time and expense spent investigating the cause of the problem and,
depending on the cause, similar losses with respect to other batches or products. If problems are not discovered before the product is released to the market,
recall and product liability costs may also be incurred. To the extent that one of our suppliers experiences significant manufacturing problems, this could
have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.
Reliance on CMOs entails risks to which we would not be subject if we manufactured products ourselves, including reliance on the third party for
regulatory compliance and adherence to the FDA’s cGMP requirements, the possible breach of the manufacturing agreement by the CMO and the
possibility of termination or non-renewal of the agreement by the CMO, based on its own business priorities, at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us.
Additionally, if any CMO with whom we contract fails to perform its obligations, we may be forced to manufacture the materials ourselves, for which we
may not have the capabilities or resources, or enter into an agreement with a different CMO, which we may not be able to do on reasonable terms, if at all.
In either scenario, our clinical trials or commercial distribution could be delayed significantly as we establish alternative supply sources. In some cases, the
technical skills required to manufacture our product or product candidates may be unique or proprietary to the original CMO and we may have difficulty, or
there may be contractual restrictions prohibiting us from, transferring such skills to a back-up or alternate supplier, or we may be unable to transfer such
skills at all. In addition, if we are required to change CMOs for any reason, we will be required to verify that the new CMO maintains facilities and
procedures that comply with quality standards and with all applicable regulations. We will also need to verify, such as through a manufacturing
comparability study, that any new manufacturing process will produce our product according to the specifications previously submitted to or approved by
the FDA or another regulatory authority. The delays associated with the verification of a new CMO could negatively affect our ability to develop product
candidates or commercialize our products in a timely manner or within budget. Furthermore, a CMO may possess technology related to the manufacture of
our product candidates that such CMO owns independently. This would increase our reliance on such CMO or require us to obtain a license from such
CMO in order to have another CMO manufacture our products or product candidates. In addition, in the case of the CMOs that supply our product
candidates, changes in manufacturers often involve changes in manufacturing procedures and processes, which could require that we conduct bridging
studies between our prior clinical supply used in our clinical trials and that of any new manufacturer. We may be unsuccessful in demonstrating the
comparability of clinical supplies which could require the conduct of additional clinical trials.
32

Table of Contents
Before we can obtain marketing approval for our drug products, our CMO facilities must be approved by the FDA and typically pass a pre-approval
inspection. In order to obtain FDA approval, the FDA must conclude that all of the suppliers’ manufacturing methods, equipment and processes comply
with cGMP requirements.
The cGMP requirements govern organization and personnel, buildings and facilities, equipment, control of components and drug product containers
and closures, production and process controls, packaging and labeling control, holding and distribution, laboratory controls, records and reports, and
returned and salvaged drug products. In addition, our CMOs will be subject to on-going periodic inspection by the FDA and corresponding state and
foreign agencies for compliance with their cGMP requirements, regulations and other regulatory standards. We do not have control over our CMOs’
compliance with these regulations and standards. Any failure of our third party manufacturers or us to comply with applicable regulations, including an
FDA pre-approval inspection, periodic on-going inspection by the FDA and cGMP requirements, could result in sanctions being imposed on them or us,
including warning letters, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, failure of regulatory authorities to grant marketing approval of our products, delay, suspension
or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of product, operation restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which could
significantly and adversely affect our business.
Finally, our business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, or by other public health emergencies. We source some
of our APIs and other materials from Asia, including China and South Korea. Due to our current reliance on these vendors for ROLVEDON and poziotinib
supply, we risk disruption in our supply chain (including restrictions on export or shipment), depending on the severity of the coronavirus outbreak and the
potential government restrictions placed on our vendors or their transports.
If our suppliers fail to deliver materials and services needed for commercial manufacturing in a timely and sufficient manner or fail to comply with
applicable regulations, and if we fail to timely identify and qualify alternative suppliers, our business, financial condition and results of operations
would be harmed and the market price of our common stock and other securities could decline.
We must rely on all of our suppliers to comply with relevant regulatory and other legal requirements, including the production of API in accordance
with the FDA’s cGMP for drug products. Although we conduct our own inspections and review and/or approve investigations of each supplier, there can be
no assurance that the FDA, upon inspection, would find that the supplier is complying with the cGMP requirements, where applicable. If a supplier fails to
comply with these requirements or the comparable requirements in foreign countries, regulatory authorities may subject them or us to regulatory action,
including criminal prosecutions, fines and suspension of the manufacture of our products. If we are required to find a new or additional supplier, we will
need to evaluate that supplier’s ability to provide material that meets regulatory requirements, including cGMP requirements, as well as our specifications
and quality requirements, which would require significant time and expense and could delay the production of our product and product candidates. In
general, if any of our suppliers is unwilling or unable to meet its supply obligations or if we encounter delays or difficulties in our relationships with
manufacturers or suppliers, and we are unable to secure an alternative supply source in a timely manner and on favorable terms, our business, financial
condition, and results of operations may be harmed and the market price of our common stock may decline.
Sales of ROLVEDON and future product candidates depend on coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers and a failure to obtain or a
reduction in the coverage and/or reimbursement for our products could have a material adverse effect on our product sales, business and results of
operations.
Sales of ROLVEDON and future product candidates are dependent on the availability and extent of coverage and reimbursement, or level of
reimbursement, from third-party payers, including government programs and private insurance plans. Governments and private payers may regulate prices,
reimbursement levels and/or access to our products to contain costs or to affect levels of use. We rely in large part on the reimbursement of our products
through government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S., and a failure to obtain or a reduction in the coverage and/or reimbursement for
our products could have a material adverse effect on our product sales, business and results of operations.
A substantial portion of our U.S. business is expected to rely on reimbursement from the U.S. federal government under Medicare Part B coverage.
Most of our products furnished to Medicare beneficiaries in both a physician office setting and hospital outpatient setting will be reimbursed under the
Medicare Part B Average Sales Price (“ASP”) payment methodology. ASP-based reimbursement of our products under Medicare may be below or could
fall below the cost that some medical providers pay for such products, which could materially and adversely affect sales of our products. We also face risks
relating to the reporting of pricing data that affect the U.S. reimbursement of and discounts for our products. ASP data are calculated by the manufacturer
based on a formula defined by statute and regulation and are then submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), the agency
responsible for administering the Medicare program, on a quarterly basis.
33

Table of Contents
CMS uses those ASP data to determine the applicable reimbursement rates for our products under Medicare Part B. However, the statute, regulations
and CMS guidance do not define specific methodologies for all aspects of the reporting of ASP data. For example, CMS has not provided specific guidance
regarding administrative fees paid to group purchasing organizations (each a “GPO” and, collectively “GPOs”) in the ASP calculation. CMS directs that
manufacturers make “reasonable assumptions” in their calculation of ASP data in the absence of specific CMS guidance on a topic. As a result, we are
required to apply our reasonable judgment to certain aspects of calculating ASP data. If our submitted ASP data are incorrect, we may become subject to
substantial fines and penalties or other government enforcement actions, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of
operations.
A breakdown or breach of our information technology systems and cybersecurity efforts could subject us to liability, reputational damage or
interrupt the operation of our business.
We rely upon our sophisticated information technology systems and infrastructure to operate our business.  In the ordinary course of business, we
collect, store and transmit large amounts of confidential information (including, but not limited to, personal information and intellectual property), and we
deploy and operate an array of technical and procedural controls to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information.   Data
privacy breaches by those who access our systems, whether by employees or others, may pose a risk that sensitive data, including intellectual property,
trade secrets or personal information belonging to us, our patients, employees, customers or other business partners, may be exposed to unauthorized
persons or to the public or otherwise used for unauthorized purposes. We could also experience a business interruption, noncompliance with data privacy
laws, theft of confidential information, or reputational damage from industrial espionage attacks, malware or other cyber-attacks, which may compromise
our system infrastructure or lead to data leakage, either internally or at our third-party providers.   Such attacks are of ever-increasing levels of
sophistication, frequency and intensity, and have become increasingly difficult to detect. There can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our data and
information technology systems will prevent breakdowns or breaches in our systems (or that of our third-party providers). Any such interruption or breach
of our systems or improper use of confidential data could adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and/or result in the loss of critical or
sensitive confidential information or intellectual property, and could result in financial, legal, business and reputational harm to us.
We are also subject to various laws and regulations globally regarding privacy and data protection, including laws and regulations relating to the
collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transfer and security of personal data. The legislative and regulatory environment regarding privacy and data
protection is continuously evolving and developing and the subject of significant attention globally. We are subject to the EU’s General Data Protection
Regulation, which became effective in May 2018, and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, which became effective in January 2020, each of
which contemplate substantial penalties. Failure to comply with these laws could result in significant penalties and could have a material adverse effect on
our business and results of operations.
Our dependence on key executives, scientists and sales and marketing personnel could impact the development and management of our business.
We are highly dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific, technical sales and marketing and managerial personnel. There is
intense competition for qualified personnel in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and we cannot be sure that we will be able to continue to
attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary, particularly as business prospects change, for the development and management of our business.
Although we do not believe the loss of one individual would materially harm our business, our business might be harmed by the loss of the services of
multiple existing personnel, as well as the failure to recruit additional key scientific, technical and managerial personnel in a timely manner. Much of the
know-how we have developed resides in our scientific and technical personnel and is not readily transferable to other personnel. We do not have
employment agreements with most of our key scientific, technical, or managerial employees, though we have employment agreements with each of our
named executive officers. Furthermore, our common stock is currently trading at a price below the exercise price of most of our outstanding stock options.
As a result, these “underwater” options are less useful as a motivation and retention tool for our existing employees.
A significant portion of our revenue has historically been derived from a limited number of distributors - and is expected to persist for our
commercial and in-development drugs upon potential FDA approval.
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a limited number of distributors and we expect that a significant portion of our future revenue
will depend on sales to a limited number of distributors. Any distributors we may use comprise a significant part of the distribution network for
pharmaceutical products in the U.S. and a small number of large distributors and wholesalers control a significant share of the market, which can increase
competitive and pricing pressures on pharmaceutical manufacturers, including us. In addition, wholesalers may apply pricing pressure through their fee-for-
service arrangements.

Table of Contents
Any reduction in the prices we receive for our products could adversely impact our revenues and financial condition. In addition, any individual distributor
could choose to stop selling some or all of our products at any time, and without notice. If we lose our relationship with any of our future significant
distributors, we would experience disruption and delays in marketing our products and could also experience declines in our revenues, which in turn could
materially adversely impact our financial condition.
Our efforts to acquire or in-license and develop additional products and product candidates may fail and/or our in-licensed products and product
candidates may fail to perform as we anticipate, which might limit our ability to grow our business.
To remain competitive and grow our business, our long-term strategy includes the acquisition or in-license of additional products and product
candidates. We are actively seeking to acquire, or in-license, additional commercial products as well as product candidates that have demonstrated positive
pre-clinical and/or clinical data. We have certain criteria that we are looking for in any asset acquisition and in-license and we may not be successful in
locating and acquiring, or in-licensing, additional desirable products or product candidates on acceptable terms.
To accomplish our acquisition and in-license strategy, we intend to commit efforts, funds and other resources to research and development and
business development. Even with acquired and in-licensed products and product candidates, a high rate of failure is inherent in the development of such
products and product candidates. We must make ongoing substantial expenditures without any assurance that our efforts will be commercially successful.
Failure can occur at any point in the process, including after significant funds have been invested. For example, promising new product candidates may fail
to reach the market or may only have limited commercial success because of efficacy or safety concerns, failure to achieve positive clinical outcomes,
inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, limited scope of approved uses, excessive costs to manufacture, the failure to establish or maintain
intellectual property rights, limited payer coverage or infringement of the intellectual property rights of others.
In addition, many other large and small companies within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry seek to establish collaborative
arrangements for product research and development, or otherwise acquire product candidates in late-stage clinical development, in competition with us. We
face additional competition from public and private research organizations, academic institutions and governmental agencies in establishing collaborative
arrangements for product candidates in late-stage clinical development. Many of the companies and institutions that compete against us have substantially
greater capital resources, research and development staffs and facilities than we have, and greater experience in conducting business development activities.
These entities represent significant competition to us as we seek to expand our portfolio through the in-license or acquisition of compounds. Finally, while
it is not feasible to predict the actual cost of acquiring and developing additional products and product candidates, that cost could be substantial and we
may need to obtain additional financing for such purpose, which may further dilute existing stockholders.
Our business depends upon the continued customer support efforts of distributors.
In the U.S., we expect to continue to sell our product and, if approved, our product candidates to a small number of distributors who in turn will sell-
through to patient health care providers. These distributors also provide multiple logistics services relating to the distribution of products, including
transportation, warehousing, cross-docking, inventory management, packaging and freight-forwarding. We will not promote our product or, if approved,
our product candidates to these distributors and they do not set or determine demand for products. The use of distributors involves certain risks, including,
but not limited to, risks that these distributors will:
•
not provide us with accurate or timely information regarding their inventories, the number of patients who are using our product or complaints
about our product;
•
not purchase sufficient inventory on hand to fulfill end user orders in a timely manner;
•
be unable to satisfy financial obligations to us or others; and
•
cease operations.
Any such actions may result in decreased sales of our product and, if approved, our product candidates which would harm our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
Adverse economic conditions may have material adverse consequences on our business, results of operations and financial condition as well as our
ability to raise additional capital.
35

Table of Contents
Unpredictable and unstable changes in economic conditions, including recession, inflation, liquidity constraints, failures and instability in U.S. and
international financial banking systems, increased government intervention, or other changes, may adversely affect our general business strategy. In recent
years, we have funded our operations through a combination of equity and debt offerings and sales of our pharmaceutical products. Based on our current
plans and expectations, we believe that we will require additional funding to achieve our goals. We may need to raise these additional funds through public
or private debt or equity financings, and any adverse economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to raise funds. If our business deteriorates, we
may not be able to maintain compliance with any covenants or representations and warranties in any such financings, which could result in reduced
availability of such financings, an event of default under such financings, or could make other sources of financing unavailable to us. Any such event
would have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
While we believe we have adequate capital resources to meet our current working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next
twelve months, an economic downturn or an increase in our expenses could require us to seek additional financing on less than attractive rates or on terms
that are excessively dilutive to existing stockholders. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a
material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans
or plans to acquire additional technology.
Volatile economic conditions may not only limit our access to capital, but may also make it difficult for our customers and us to accurately forecast
and plan future business activities, and they could cause businesses to slow spending on our products, which would delay and lengthen future sales cycles.
Furthermore, during challenging economic times, our customers may face issues gaining timely access to sufficient credit, which could result in an
impairment of their ability to make timely payments to us. In addition, adverse economic conditions could also adversely impact our suppliers’ ability to
provide us with materials which would negatively impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our indebtedness may limit our flexibility in operating our business and adversely affect our financial health and competitive position.
As of December 31, 2022, we had $30.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under our loan agreement with SLR Investment Corp. (“SLR”) that
matures in September 2027.
To service this indebtedness and any additional indebtedness we may incur in the future, we need to generate cash from our operating activities. Our
ability to generate cash is subject, in part, to our ability to successfully execute our business strategy, as well as general economic, financial, competitive,
regulatory, and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or
that future borrowings or other financings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness and fund our other
liquidity needs. To the extent we are required to use cash from operations or the proceeds of any future financing to service our indebtedness, our ability to
plan for, or react to, changes in our business, industry and the economy generally will be limited.
In addition, the SLR credit agreement contains certain covenants that limit our ability to engage in certain transactions that may be in our long-term
best interests. Subject to certain limited exceptions, these covenants limit our ability to, among other things:
•
create, incur, assume, or be liable for any additional indebtedness, or create, incur, allow, or suffer any lien;
•
effect certain changes in our business, management, ownership, or business locations;
•
merge or consolidate, or acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or shares or any property of another company;
•
declare or pay any dividends, make any other distribution or payment in respect of or redeem, retire or purchase any shares of our capital stock;
•
make certain investments; and
•
enter into transactions with our affiliates.
We have not previously breached and are not currently in breach of these or any of the other covenants; however, there can be no guarantee that we
will not breach these covenants in the future. In the event that we breach one or more covenants, our lender may choose to declare an event of default and
require that we immediately repay all amounts outstanding, terminate any commitment to extend further credit and foreclose on the collateral granted to it
to collateralize such indebtedness. The

occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to
continue as a going concern.
Rising inflation rates could negatively impact our revenues and profitability if increases in the prices of our product and product candidates or a
decrease in consumer spending results in lower sales. In addition, if our costs increase and we are not able to pass along these price increases to our
customers, our net income would be adversely affected, and the adverse impact may be material.
Inflation rates, particularly in the United States, have increased recently to levels not seen in years. Increased inflation may result in decreased
demand for our commercial product, increased operating costs (including our labor costs), reduced liquidity, and limitations on our ability to access credit
or otherwise raise debt and equity capital. In addition, the United States Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to
concerns about inflation. Increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may have
the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty and heightening these risks. In an inflationary environment, we may be unable to raise the sales prices
of our commercial product at or above the rate at which our costs increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations. We also may experience lower than expected sales and potential adverse impacts on our competitive position if there is a decrease in
consumer spending or a negative reaction to our pricing. A reduction in our revenue would be detrimental to our profitability and financial condition and
could also have an adverse impact on our future growth.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance
by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our current and projected business operations and financial condition
and results of operations.
Events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional
counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of
these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Most recently, on March 10, 2023, Silicon
Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. Similarly, on March 12, 2023, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp. were each swept into receivership. Although
a statement by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC indicated that all depositors of SVB would have access to all of their
money after only one business day of closure, including funds held in uninsured deposit accounts, borrowers under credit agreements, letters of credit and
certain other financial instruments with SVB, Signature Bank or any other financial institution that is placed into receivership by the FDIC may be unable
to access undrawn amounts thereunder. Even though we assess our banking and customer relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access
to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be
significantly impaired by factors that affect us, the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events
such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements,
disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in
the financial services industry.
The results of events or concerns that involve one or more of these factors could include a variety of material and adverse impacts on our current and
projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations. These could include, but may not be limited to, the following:
•
Delayed access to deposits or other financial assets or the uninsured loss of deposits or other financial assets;
•
Loss of access to revolving existing credit facilities or other working capital sources and/or the inability to refund, roll over or extend the maturity
of, or enter into new credit facilities or other working capital resources;
•
Potential or actual breach of contractual obligations that require us to maintain letters or credit or other credit support arrangements;
•
Potential or actual breach of financial covenants in our credit agreements or credit arrangements;
•
Potential or actual cross-defaults in other credit agreements, credit arrangements or operating or financing agreements; or
•
Termination of cash management arrangements and/or delays in accessing or actual loss of funds subject to cash management arrangements.

In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms,
including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources,
thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any decline in available funding or access to our cash and
liquidity resources could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial obligations or fulfill our other
obligations, result in breaches of our contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws. Any of these impacts, or any
other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have material adverse impacts on our
liquidity and our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We are a small company relative to our principal competitors, and our limited financial resources may limit our ability to develop and market our
product and product candidates.
Many companies, both public and private, including well-known pharmaceutical companies and smaller niche-focused companies, are developing
products to treat many, if not all, of the diseases we are pursuing or are currently distributing drug products that directly compete with the drugs that we sell
or that we intend to develop, market and distribute.
Competition for branded or proprietary drugs is less driven by price and is more focused on innovation in the treatment of disease, advanced drug
delivery and specific clinical benefits over competitive drug therapies. We may not be successful in any or all of our current clinical studies; or if
successful, and if one or more of our product candidates is approved by the FDA, we may encounter direct competition from other companies who may be
developing products for similar or the same indications as our product candidates.
Companies that have products on the market or in research and development that target the same indications as our in-development product
candidates or new compounds sought include, among others: Amgen, Inc., Coherus BioSciences, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sandoz, Pfizer, AstraZeneca
plc, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd., Janssen Research & Development, Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Cullinan Oncology, LLC, Daiichi-Sankyo
Co., Ltd., Genentech, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc., Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., and Novartis International AG.
Many of our competitors are large and well-capitalized companies focusing on a wide range of diseases and drug indications, and have substantially
greater financial, research and development, marketing, human and other resources than we do. Furthermore, large pharmaceutical companies have
significantly more experience than we do in pre-clinical testing, human clinical trials and regulatory approval procedures, among other things. As a result,
our competitors may be more successful than us in developing their products, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing their products to consumers.
If actual future payments for allowances for discounts, returns, rebates and chargebacks exceed the estimates we made at the time of the sale of our
products, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows may be materially and negatively impacted.
On March 1, 2019, we completed the sale of the Commercial Product Portfolio (as defined below in Note 10) to Acrotech. We contractually retained
all obligations related to our estimated allowances for discounts, returns, rebates and chargebacks for sales made on and prior to such date. Our former
FUSILEV, MARQIBO, and BELEODAQ customers are permitted to return purchased products to us beginning at their expiration date and within six
months thereafter. Our former EVOMELA customers are permitted to return purchased product to us beginning at six months prior to its expiration date,
and within twelve months following its expiration date (as well as for overstock inventory, as determined by end-users). Our existing ROLVEDON
customers are also permitted to return purchased product to us beginning at three months prior to its expiration date, and within twelve months following its
expiration date.
We authorize returns for damaged products and exchanges for expired products in accordance with our returned goods policy and procedures. Also,
like our competitors, we also give credits for chargebacks to wholesale customers that have contracts with us for their sales to hospitals, GPOs, pharmacies
or other retail customers. The product revenue we recognized through March 1, 2019 was net of estimated allowances for discounts, returns, rebates and
chargebacks. Such estimates required subjective and complex judgment due to the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Based on industry practice, pharmaceutical companies, including us, have liberal return policies.
A chargeback is the difference between the price the wholesaler pays us (wholesale acquisition cost, or WAC) and the price that the wholesaler’s
customer pays for our product (contracted customer). Our products were subject to certain programs with federal government qualified entities whereby
pricing on products is discounted to such entities and results in a chargeback claim to us, or for us to bill certain qualifying Public Health Service end-users
at government-mandated pricing. To the extent that our sales to discount purchasers, such as federal government qualified entities, increases, chargeback
claims will also
38

Table of Contents
increase. There may be significant lag time between our original sale to the wholesaler and our receipt of the corresponding government chargeback claims
from our wholesalers.
Our products are subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates for purchases are issued to participating state
governments. These rebates arise when the patient treated with our products is covered under Medicaid. Our calculations require us to estimate end-user
and patient mix to determine which of our sales will likely be subject to these rebates. There is a significant time lag in us receiving these rebate notices
(generally several months after our sale is made). Our estimates are based on our historical claims from participating state governments, as supplemented
by management’s judgment.
Our products are also subject to the Medicare Part B program, under which reimbursement for drugs is based on a drug’s average sales price, or ASP,
which is calculated net of virtually all discounts and rebates. Manufacturers report ASP to CMS on a quarterly basis. Also under Medicare Part B, since
October 1, 2022, manufacturers are required to pay rebates to the government to the extent that drug prices increase faster than inflation. There may be a
time lag in our receiving inflation rebate notices.
Although we believe that we have sufficient allowances, actual results may differ significantly from our estimated allowances for discounts, returns,
rebates and chargebacks. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. Such changes to estimates will be made to the financial statements in the year in which the estimate is changed. In addition, our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows may be materially and negatively impacted if actual future payments for allowances, discounts,
returns, rebates and chargebacks exceed the estimates we made at the time of the sale of our products.
Our business strategy requires that we engage in transactions that increase our capital requirements, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent
liabilities, and possibly dilute our stockholders.
We actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or otherwise acquiring complementary products,
technologies or businesses. Any potential acquisitions or in-licensing transactions may entail numerous risks, including but not limited to:
•
risks associated with satisfying the closing conditions relating to such transactions and realizing their anticipated benefits;
•
increased operating expenses and cash requirements;
•
difficulty in conforming standards, procedures and policies, business cultures and compensation structures;
•
difficulty integrating acquired technologies, products and personnel with our existing business;
•
difficulty conforming acquired operations, such as corporate and administrative functions, sales and marketing, or information technology and
accounting systems with our existing business;
•
diversion of management’s attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisition or license and integrating the business, technology or
product;
•
retention of key employees;
•
uncertainties in our ability to maintain key business relationships of any acquired entities;
•
strain on managerial and operational resources;
•
exposure to regulatory, compliance and legal risks of the acquired entities;
•
tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating operations; 
•
modifications to operating control standards to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder;
•
difficulty coordinating geographically dispersed organizations;
•
exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies or products or companies or products in which we invest; and
•
potential costly and time-consuming litigation, including stockholder lawsuits.
As a result of these or other problems and risks, businesses, technologies or products we acquire or invest in or obtain licenses to may not produce
the revenues, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated. In addition, acquired or licensed products may not perform as expected or we may not
obtain necessary regulatory approvals on our anticipated timeline or at all.
39

Table of Contents
Accordingly, we may incur higher costs and realize lower revenues than we had anticipated. We cannot assure you that any acquisitions or
investments we have made or may make in the future will be completed or that, if completed, the acquired business, licenses, investments, products, or
technologies will generate sufficient revenue to offset the negative costs or other negative effects on our business. Failure to effectively manage our growth
through acquisition or in-licensing transactions could adversely affect our growth prospects, business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash
flow.
In addition, in connection with acquisitions and in-licensing transactions, we may spend significant amounts of capital, issue dilutive securities,
assume or incur significant debt obligations or contingent liabilities, and acquire intangible assets that could result in significant future amortization
expense and write-offs. Moreover, we may not be able to locate suitable acquisition opportunities and this inability could impair our ability to grow or
obtain access to technology or products that may be important to the development of our business. Even if appropriate opportunities are available, we may
not be able to successfully identify them or we may not have the financial resources necessary to pursue them, and if pursued, we may be unable to
structure and execute transactions in on our anticipated timeframe, or at all. Other pharmaceutical companies, many of which may have substantially
greater financial, marketing and sales resources than we do, compete with us for these opportunities.
Even if we are able to successfully identify and acquire complementary products, technologies or businesses, we cannot assure you that we will be
able to successfully manage the risks associated with integrating acquired products, technologies or businesses or the risks arising from anticipated and
unanticipated problems in connection with an acquisition or in-licensing transaction. Further, while we seek to mitigate risks and liabilities of potential
acquisitions and in-licensing transactions through, among other things, due diligence, there may be risks and liabilities that such due diligence efforts fail to
discover, that are not disclosed to us, or that we inadequately assess. Any failure in identifying and managing these risks and uncertainties effectively would
have a material adverse effect on our business. Additionally, actual costs and sales synergies, if achieved at all, may be lower than we expect and may take
longer to achieve than we anticipate. Furthermore, the products of companies we acquire may overlap with our products or those of our customers, creating
conflicts with existing relationships or with other commitments that are detrimental to the integrated businesses.
If we are unable to successfully integrate our acquisitions with our existing business, we may not obtain the advantages that the acquisitions were
intended to create, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, our ability to develop and
introduce new products and the market price of our stock.
Our collaborations with outside scientists may be subject to change, which could limit our access to their expertise.
We work with scientific advisors and collaborators at research institutions. These scientists are not our employees and may have other commitments
that would limit their availability to us. If a conflict of interest between their work for us and their work for another entity arises, we may lose their
services, which could negatively impact our research and development activities.
We may rely on CROs and other third parties to conduct clinical trials and, in such cases, we are unable to directly control the timing, conduct and
expense of our clinical trials.
We may rely, in full or in part, on third parties to conduct our clinical trials. In such situations, we have less control over the conduct of our clinical
trials, the timing and completion of the trials, the required reporting of adverse events and the management of data developed through the trial than would
be the case if we were relying entirely upon our own staff. Communicating with outside parties can also be challenging, potentially leading to mistakes as
well as difficulties in coordinating activities. Outside parties may have staffing difficulties, may undergo changes in priorities or may become financially
distressed, adversely affecting their willingness or ability to conduct our trials. We may experience unexpected cost increases that are beyond our control.
Problems with the timeliness or quality of the work of a CRO may lead us to seek to terminate the relationship and use an alternative service provider.
However, making this change may be costly and may delay our trials, and contractual restrictions may make such a change difficult or impossible.
Additionally, it may be challenging or impossible to find a replacement organization that can conduct our trials in an acceptable manner and at an
acceptable cost.
Competition for patients in conducting clinical trials may prevent or delay product development and strain our limited financial resources.
Many pharmaceutical companies are conducting clinical trials involving patients with the disease indications that our product candidates target. As a
result, we must compete with them for clinical sites, physicians and the limited number of patients who fulfill the stringent requirements for participation in
clinical trials. Also, due to the confidential nature of clinical trials, we do not know how many of the eligible patients may be enrolled in competing studies
and who are consequently not
40

Table of Contents
available to us for our clinical trials. Our clinical trials may be delayed or terminated due to the inability to enroll enough patients. Patient enrollment
depends on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the trial protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites and the
eligibility criteria for the study. The delay or inability to meet planned patient enrollment may result in increased costs and delays or termination of the trial,
which could have a harmful effect on our ability to develop products.
We may have conflicts with our third-party development partners that could delay or prevent the development or commercialization of our product
candidates.
We may have conflicts with our third-party development partners, such as conflicts concerning the interpretation of pre-clinical or clinical data, the
achievement of milestones, the interpretation of contractual obligations, payments for services, development obligations or the ownership of intellectual
property developed during our collaboration. If any conflicts arise with any of our third-party development partners, such partner may act in a manner that
is adverse to our best interests. Any such disagreement could result in one or more of the following, each of which could delay or prevent the development
or commercialization of our product candidates, and in turn prevent us from generating revenues from such product candidates:
•
unwillingness on the part of a third-party development partner to pay us milestone payments or royalties that we believe are due to us under a
collaboration;
•
uncertainty regarding ownership of intellectual property rights arising from our collaborative activities, which could prevent us from entering into
additional collaborations;
•
unwillingness to cooperate in the manufacture of the product, including providing us with product data or materials;
•
unwillingness to keep us informed regarding the progress of its development and commercialization activities or to permit public disclosure of the
results of those activities;
•
initiation of litigation or alternative dispute resolution options by either party to resolve the dispute;
•
attempts by either party to terminate the collaboration;
•
our ability to maintain or defend our intellectual property rights may be compromised by our partner’s acts or omissions;
•
a third-party development partner may utilize our intellectual property rights in such a way as to invite litigation that could jeopardize or invalidate
our intellectual property rights or expose us to potential liability;
•
a third-party development partner may change the focus of its development and commercialization efforts due to internal reorganizations, mergers,
consolidations or otherwise;
•
unwillingness to fully fund or commit sufficient resources to the testing, marketing, distribution or development of our products;
•
unwillingness or inability to fulfill their obligations to us due to the pursuit of alternative products, conflicts of interest that arise or changes in
business strategy or other business issues; and/or
•
we may not be able to guarantee supplies of development or marketed products.
Given these risks, it is possible that any collaborative arrangements which we have or could enter into may not be successful.
The potential size of the market for our product and product candidates is uncertain.
We often provide estimates of the number of people who suffer from the diseases that our product and product candidates are intended to target.
However, there is limited information available regarding the actual size of these patient populations. In addition, it is uncertain whether the results from
previous or future clinical trials of products and product candidates will be observed in broader patient populations, and the number of patients who may
benefit from our product and product candidates may be significantly smaller than the estimated patient populations.
If our employees, representatives or agents fail to comply with regulatory standards and requirements, we could be exposed to financial, reputational
or other harm.
Our business and financial condition could be adversely affected to the extent that our employees, representatives or agents fail to:
41

Table of Contents
•
comply with FDA regulations or similar regulations of similar regulatory authorities in other countries;
•
provide accurate information to the FDA or similar regulatory authorities in other countries;
•
comply with manufacturing standards we, the FDA or similar authorities in other countries have established;
•
comply with federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations or similar laws and regulations
•
established and enforced by comparable foreign regulatory authorities;
•
comply with the provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA); or
•
report financial information or clinical or pre-clinical data accurately.
In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent
fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting,
marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Misconduct by our employees, representatives
or agents could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious
harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent these
activities may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses, or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions
or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, even if we are
ultimately exonerated, we could incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to defend ourselves or to assert our rights and any such actions could result
in reputational harm to us or have a significant impact on our business and results of operations, including the imposition of significant fines or other
sanctions.
Risks Related to Our Industry
The future sale of our products will be (and has historically been) subject to regulatory approvals and requirements. If we are unable to obtain
regulatory approval for our product candidates, or if we fail to comply with governmental regulations, we will be limited in our ability to commercialize
or sell our products and product candidates and/or will be subject to penalties.
We are not permitted to market or promote any of our product candidates before we receive regulatory approval from the FDA or comparable foreign
regulatory authorities, and we may never receive such regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. Obtaining regulatory approval of a new drug
is an uncertain, lengthy and expensive process, and success is never guaranteed. Despite the time, resources and effort expended, failure can occur at any
stage. During each stage, there is a substantial risk that we will encounter serious obstacles that will further delay us and add substantial expense, that we
will develop a product with limited potential for commercial success, or that we will be forced to abandon a product in which we have invested substantial
amounts of time and money.
These risks may include failure of the product candidate in pre-clinical studies, difficulty enrolling patients in clinical trials, clinical trial holds or
other delays in completing clinical trials, delays in completing formulation and other testing and work necessary to support an application for regulatory
approval, adverse reactions to the product candidate or other safety concerns, insufficient clinical trial data to support the safety or efficacy of the product
candidate or to differentiate our product candidate from competitors, an inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of the product candidate for
development or commercialization activities in a timely and cost-effective manner, and failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining, the required regulatory
approvals for the product candidate or the facilities in which it is manufactured. In order to receive approval from the FDA for each product candidate, we
must demonstrate that the new drug product is safe and effective for its intended use and that the manufacturing processes for the product candidate comply
with the FDA’s cGMPs, which include requirements related to production processes, quality control and assurance, and recordkeeping. The FDA has
substantial discretion in the approval process for human medicines.
42

Table of Contents
The FDA and comparable agencies in foreign countries impose many requirements related to the drug development process through lengthy and
rigorous clinical testing and data collection procedures, and other costly and time consuming compliance procedures. While we believe that we are
currently in compliance with applicable FDA regulations, if we or our partners, the CROs or CMOs with which we have relationships, fail to comply with
the regulations applicable to our clinical testing, the FDA may delay, suspend or cancel our clinical trials, or the FDA might not accept the test results. The
FDA, an institutional review board, third party investigators, any comparable regulatory agency in another country, or we, may suspend clinical trials at any
time if the trials expose subjects participating in such trials to unacceptable health risks. Further, human clinical testing may not show any current or future
drug product to be safe and effective to the satisfaction of the FDA or comparable regulatory agencies, or the data derived from the clinical tests may be
unsuitable for submission to the FDA or other regulatory agencies. Once we submit an application seeking approval to market a drug product, the FDA or
other regulatory agencies may not issue their approvals on a timely basis, if at all. If we are delayed or fail to obtain these approvals, our business and
prospects may be significantly damaged. In addition, any regulatory approvals that we receive for our future product candidates may also be subject to
limitations on the indicated uses for which they may be marketed or contain requirements for potentially cost prohibitive post-marketing follow-up studies
and surveillance to monitor the safety and efficacy of the product.
If we obtain regulatory approval for our drug products, we, our partners, our manufacturers, and other contract entities will continue to be subject to
extensive requirements by a number of international, federal, state and local agencies. These regulations will impact many aspects of our operations,
including testing, research and development, manufacturing, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, quality control, adverse event reporting, record
keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our future products. The FDA and foreign regulatory authorities strictly regulate the promotional claims
that may be made about prescription products and our product labeling, advertising and promotion is subject to continuing regulatory review. Physicians
may nevertheless prescribe our product to their patients in a manner that is inconsistent with the approved label, or that is off-label. The FDA and other
regulatory agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and if we are found to have improperly promoted
off-label uses we may be subject to significant sanctions, civil and criminal fines and injunctions prohibiting us from engaging in specified promotional
conduct.
In addition, we are subject to the federal False Claims Act (FCA), as well as the false claims laws of several states. The FCA prohibits 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. Suits filed under the FCA, known as “qui tam” actions, can be brought by any private individual on behalf of the
government and such private individuals, commonly known as “whistleblowers,” may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or
settlement. The filing of qui tam actions has caused a number of pharmaceutical, medical device and other healthcare companies to have to defend a FCA
action. When an entity is determined to have violated the FCA, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government,
plus civil penalties for each separate false claim. Various states also have enacted laws modeled after the federal FCA.
In order to comply with these laws, we have implemented a compliance program designed to identify, prevent and mitigate risk through the
implementation of compliance policies and training systems. We cannot guarantee that our compliance program will be sufficient or effective, that our
employees will comply with our policies, that our employees will notify us of any violation of our policies, that we will have the ability to take appropriate
and timely corrective action in response to any such violation, or that we will make decisions and take actions that will necessarily limit or avoid liability
for whistleblower claims that individuals, such as employees or former employees, may bring against us or that governmental authorities may prosecute
against us based on information provided by individuals. If we are found to be in violation of any of the laws and regulations described above or other
applicable state and federal healthcare laws, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement,
contractual damages, reputational harm, imprisonment, diminished profits and future earnings, exclusion from government healthcare reimbursement
programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, additional reporting requirements and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or
similar agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, and/or the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and growth prospects. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations,
even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our
business. Moreover, achieving and sustaining compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign healthcare laws is costly and time-consuming for our
management.
Even if we receive regulatory approval to market our product candidates, the market may not be receptive to our product candidates upon their
commercial introduction, which would negatively impact our ability to achieve profitability.
Our product candidates may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payers and the medical community. The degree of
market acceptance of any approved products will depend on a number of factors, including:
43

Table of Contents
•
the effectiveness of the product;
•
the prevalence and severity of any side effects;
•
potential advantages or disadvantages over alternative treatments;
•
relative convenience and ease of administration;
•
the strength of marketing and distribution support;
•
the price of the product, both in absolute terms and relative to alternative treatments; and
•
sufficient third-party coverage and reimbursement.
If our product candidates receive regulatory approval but do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by physicians, healthcare payers and
patients, we may not generate drug product revenues sufficient to attain profitability.
In addition, we have only licensed the rights to develop and market our product candidates in limited territories. Other companies can market and sell
the same products in other parts of the world upon local regulatory approvals. If negative publicity is associated with our products or similar products sold
by third parties in their territories, our own efforts to successfully market and sell our products in our territories may be adversely impacted.
We have received fast track designation from the FDA for poziotinib. We may seek fast track designation or other designations to expedite the
development and approval of our future product candidates, and we may not be successful in receiving such designations, or if received, such
designation may not actually lead to a faster development, regulatory review or approval process.
The FDA may grant fast track designation to a product that is intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition and that
demonstrates the potential to address unmet medical needs for this condition. Products receiving fast track designation are eligible for more frequent
interaction and communication with FDA and rolling review. The FDA has broad discretion whether or not to grant this designation, so even if we believe
a particular product candidate is eligible for this designation, we cannot assure you that the FDA would decide to grant it. Even if we do receive fast track
designation, as we did for poziotinib, we may not experience a faster development process, review or approval compared to conventional FDA procedures.
Moreover, the FDA may withdraw fast track designation if it believes that the designation is no longer supported by data from our clinical development
program.
There is a substantial risk of product liability claims in our business. If we are unable to obtain sufficient insurance, a product liability claim against
us could adversely affect our business.
Our business exposes us to significant potential product liability risks that are inherent in the development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of
human therapeutic products. Product liability claims might not be fully covered by product liability insurance. In addition, product liability claims could
result in an FDA investigation of the safety and effectiveness of our approved products, our manufacturing processes and facilities or our marketing
programs, and potentially a recall of our products or more serious enforcement action, limitations on the approved indications for which they may be used,
or suspension or withdrawal of approvals. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may also result in decreased demand for our
products, injury to our reputation, costs to defend the related litigation, a diversion of management’s time and our resources, substantial monetary awards to
trial participants or patients and a decline in our stock price. We currently have product liability insurance that we believe is appropriate for our stage of
development, including the marketing and sale of our approved product. Any insurance we have or may obtain may not provide sufficient coverage against
potential liabilities. Furthermore, clinical trial and product liability insurance is becoming increasingly expensive. As a result, we may be unable to obtain
sufficient insurance at a reasonable cost to protect us against losses caused by product liability claims that could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Guidelines and recommendations published by various organizations can reduce the use of our product.
Government agencies, such as the CMS, promulgate regulations, and issue guidelines, directly applicable to us and to our product. In addition, third
parties such as professional societies, practice management groups, insurance carriers, physicians, private health/science foundations and organizations
involved in various diseases from time to time may publish guidelines or recommendations to healthcare providers, administrators and payers, and patient
communities. Recommendations may relate to such matters as utilization, dosage, route of administration and use of related therapies and coverage and
reimbursement of our product by government and private payers. Third-party organizations like the above have made recommendations about our
44

Table of Contents
product. Recommendations or guidelines that are followed by patients and healthcare providers could result in decreased utilization and/or dosage of our
products, any of which could adversely affect our product sales and operating results materially.
Legislative or regulatory reform of the healthcare system and pharmaceutical industry related to pricing, coverage or reimbursement may hurt our
ability to sell our products profitably or at all.
Our ability to commercialize any products successfully will depend in part on the availability of coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers
such as government authorities, private health insurers, health maintenance organizations including pharmacy benefit managers and other health care-
related organizations, in both the U.S. and foreign markets. Even if we succeed in bringing one or more products to market, the amount reimbursed for our
products may be insufficient to allow us to compete effectively and could adversely affect our profitability. Coverage and reimbursement by governmental
and other third-party payers may depend upon a number of factors, including a governmental or other third-party payer’s determination that use of a
product includes but is not limited to:
•
a covered benefit under its health plan;
•
safe, effective and medically necessary;
•
appropriate for the specific patient;
•
cost-effective; and
•
neither experimental nor investigational.
Obtaining coverage and reimbursement approval for a product from each third-party and governmental payer is a time-consuming and costly process
that could require us to provide supporting scientific, clinical and cost-effectiveness data for the use of our products to each payer. We may not be able to
provide data sufficient to obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement.
The high cost of pharmaceuticals continues to generate substantial government interest. It is possible that proposals will be adopted, or existing
regulations that affect the coverage and reimbursement of pharmaceutical and other medical products may change, that may impact our products currently
on the market and any of our products approved for marketing in the future. Cost control initiatives could decrease the price that we receive for any of our
products or product candidates. In addition, third-party payers are increasingly challenging the price and cost-effectiveness of medical products and
services. Significant uncertainty exists as to the coverage and reimbursement status of newly-approved pharmaceutical products. Future developments may
require us to decrease the price that we charge for our products, thereby negatively affecting our financial results.
In some foreign countries, particularly in the EU, prescription drug pricing is subject to governmental control. Drug pricing may be made against a
reference price set by the healthcare providers as a measure for healthcare cost containment. Pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take
considerable time after the receipt of marketing approval for a product. If coverage and reimbursement of our products are unavailable or limited in scope
or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels for the purpose of adoption of these products in the national health services in these jurisdictions, our
profitability will likely be negatively affected.
If we market our products in a manner that violates federal or state health care fraud and abuse laws, we may be subject to civil or criminal
penalties, including exclusion from participation in government health care programs.
As a pharmaceutical company, even though we do not provide healthcare services or receive payments directly from or bill directly to Medicare,
Medicaid or other third-party payers for our product, we are subject to certain federal and state healthcare laws and regulations pertaining to fraud and
abuse applicable to our business. Violations of fraud and abuse laws may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including fines and/or exclusion
or suspension from federal and state health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and debarment from contracting with the U.S. government.
The laws that may affect our ability to operate include the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, knowingly and
willfully offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving remuneration to induce or in return for purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for the purchase, lease
or order of any health care item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other federally-financed health care programs. This statute applies to
arrangements between pharmaceutical manufacturers and prescribers, purchasers and formulary managers. Although there are a number of statutory
exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting certain common activities, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly, and practices
45

Table of Contents
that involve remuneration intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exception
or safe harbor.
Pharmaceutical companies have been prosecuted under these laws for a variety of alleged promotional and marketing activities, such as 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 off-label promotion that caused claims to be submitted to
Medicaid for non-covered off-label uses; and submitting inflated best price information to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. Federal enforcement
agencies have also recently scrutinized product and patient assistance programs, including manufacturer reimbursement support services as well as
relationships with specialty pharmacies. If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of any of such laws or any other governmental
regulations that may apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from federal health care
programs and/or the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment, or restructuring of our operations could
adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully
defend against them, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 also created prohibitions against health care fraud and false statements relating to
health care matters. The health care fraud statute prohibits knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program,
including private payers. The false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any
materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services.
In addition, the federal “Sunshine” requirements pursuant to the PPACA imposed new requirements on (i) manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics
and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (with certain exceptions) to
report annually to CMS information related to payments or other “transfers of value” made to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists,
podiatrists and chiropractors), certain other licensed health care practitioners, and teaching hospitals; and (ii) applicable manufacturers and GPOs to report
annually to CMS ownership and investment interests held by physicians (as defined above) and their immediate family members and payments or other
“transfers of value” to such physician owners and their immediate family members. Failure to submit the required information may result in civil monetary
penalties of up an aggregate of $150,000 per year (and up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), for all payments, transfers of
value or ownership or investment interests not reported in an annual submission, and may result in liability under other federal laws or regulations.
The majority of states also have statutes or regulations similar to these federal laws, which apply to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid
and other state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the payer. In addition, some states have laws that require pharmaceutical companies to
adopt comprehensive compliance programs. For example, under California law, pharmaceutical companies must comply with both the April 2003 Office of
Inspector General Compliance Program Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America
(“PhRMA”) Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals, as amended. Certain states also mandate the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation,
and other remuneration paid by us to physicians and other health care providers. We have adopted and implemented a compliance program designed to
comply with applicable federal, state and local requirements wherever we operate, including but not limited to the laws of the states of California and
Nevada.
Although compliance programs can mitigate the risk of investigation and prosecution for violations of these laws, the risks cannot be entirely
eliminated. Compliance with these laws and regulations is costly and materially affects our business. Among other effects, health care regulations
substantially increase the time, difficulty and costs incurred in obtaining and maintaining approval to market newly developed and existing products. Any
action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our
management’s attention from the operation of our business. We expect compliance with these regulations to require significant technical expertise and
capital investment to ensure the reasonable design and operation of an effective compliance program.
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 subject to
challenge under one or more of such laws. The PPACA also made several important changes to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, false claims laws, and
health care fraud statute by weakening the intent requirement under the anti-kickback and health care fraud statutes that may make it easier for the
government, or whistleblowers to charge such fraud and abuse violations. A person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of this statute or
specific intent to violate it. In addition, the Health Care Reform Law provides that the government may assert that a claim including items or services
resulting from a violation of the federal anti-kickback statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the false
46

Table of Contents
claims statutes. In addition, the PPACA increases penalties for fraud and abuse violations. If our past, present or future operations are found to be in
violation of any of the laws described above or other similar governmental regulations to which we are subject, we may incur significant civil, criminal and
administrative penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment, exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and the
curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and negatively impact our financial
results.
We could be adversely affected by violations of the FCPA and other worldwide anti-bribery laws.
The FCPA prohibits U.S. companies and their respective representatives from offering, promising, authorizing, or making improper payments to
foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business abroad. In many countries, the health care professionals we regularly interact with meet
the definition of a foreign government official for purposes of the FCPA. We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that we comply with the FCPA
and similar laws; however, there is no assurance that such policies and procedures will protect us against liability under the FCPA or related laws for
actions taken by our employees and intermediaries with respect to our business. Failure to comply with the FCPA and related laws could disrupt our
business and lead to criminal and civil penalties including fines, suspension of our ability to do business with the federal government and denial of
government reimbursement of our products, which could result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows. We could also be adversely affected by any allegation that we violated such laws.
Pricing for pharmaceutical products has come under increasing scrutiny by governments, legislative bodies and enforcement agencies. Changes in
laws and regulations that control drug pricing for government programs allow for negotiated pricing or limit product coverage, and reduced
reimbursements may adversely impact our operating results and our business.
Many companies in our industry have received a governmental request for documents and information relating to drug pricing and patient assistance
programs. We may become subject to similar requests, which would require us to incur significant expense and result in distraction for our management
team. Additionally, to the extent there are findings, or even allegations, of improper conduct on the part of the Company or its employees, such findings or
allegations could result in negative publicity or other negative actions that could harm our reputation; cause changes in our product pricing and distribution
strategies; reduce demand for our approved products and/or reduce reimbursement of approved products, including by federal health care programs such as
Medicare and Medicaid and state health care programs.
Further, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, among other things, amended the Affordable Care Act, effective January 1, 2019, to close the coverage
gap in most Medicare drug plans, commonly referred to as the “donut hole”. In December 2018, CMS published a final rule permitting further collections
and payments to and from certain Affordable Care Act qualified health plans and health insurance issuers under the Affordable Care Act risk adjustment
program in response to the outcome of federal district court litigation regarding the method CMS uses to determine this risk adjustment. On June 17, 2021
the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a challenge on procedural grounds that argued the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional in its entirety because the
“individual mandate” was repealed by Congress. Thus, the Affordable Care Act will remain in effect in its current form. Further, prior to the U.S. Supreme
Court ruling, on January 28, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order to initiate a special enrollment period for purposes of obtaining health
insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. The executive order also instructs certain governmental agencies to review and
reconsider their existing policies and rules that limit access to healthcare, including among others, reexamining Medicaid demonstration projects and
waiver programs that include work requirements, and policies that create unnecessary barriers to obtaining access to health insurance coverage through
Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act. It is unclear how such challenges and the healthcare reform measures of the Biden administration will impact the
Affordable Care Act.
Further legislation or regulation could be passed that could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Other legislative changes
have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. For example, the Budget Control Act of 2011 and subsequent legislation,
among other things, included reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year, which went into effect beginning on April 1, 2013
and will stay in effect through 2031 unless additional Congressional action is taken. Additionally, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 eliminates the
statutory Medicaid drug rebate cap, currently set at 100% of a drug’s average manufacturer price, for single source and innovator multiple source drugs,
beginning January 1, 2024. In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which, among other things, further reduced
Medicare payments to several types of providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations
period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Further, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or IRA, includes
several provisions that may impact our business to varying degrees, including provisions that reduce the out-of-pocket cap for Medicare Part D
beneficiaries to $2,000 starting in 2025; impose new manufacturer financial liability on certain drugs under Medicare Part D, allow the U.S. government to
negotiate Medicare Part B and Part D price caps for certain high-cost drugs and biologics without
47

Table of Contents
generic or biosimilar competition, require companies to pay rebates to Medicare for certain drug prices that increase faster than inflation, and delay the
rebate rule that would limit the fees that pharmacy benefit managers can charge. Single-source biologics without competition on the market may not be
selected for drug price negotiation under the IRA until at least 11 years since approval. The full effects of the IRA on our business and the healthcare
industry in general is not yet known.
Additionally, there has been increasing legislative and enforcement interest in the United States with respect to specialty drug pricing practices.
Specifically, there have been several recent U.S. Congressional inquiries and federal and state legislative activity designed to, among other things, bring
more transparency to drug pricing, reduce the cost of prescription drugs under Medicare, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient
programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs. At the federal level, the FDA released a final rule and guidance in
September 2020, implementing a portion of the importation executive order providing pathways for states to build and submit importation plans for drugs
from Canada. Further, on November 20, 2020, HHS finalized a regulation removing safe harbor protection for price reductions from pharmaceutical
manufacturers to plan sponsors under Part D, either directly or through pharmacy benefit managers, unless the price reduction is required by law. The
implementation of the rule has been delayed by the Biden administration from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023 in response to ongoing litigation. The
rule also creates a new safe harbor for price reductions reflected at the point-of-sale, as well as a new safe harbor for certain fixed fee arrangements
between pharmacy benefit managers and manufacturers, the implementation of which has been delayed until 2032 by the IRA. On November 20, 2020,
CMS issued an interim final rule that would tie Medicare Part B payments for certain physician-administered drugs to the lowest price paid in other
economically advanced countries; this rule was later rescinded as a result of litigation.
In July 2021, the Biden administration released an executive order with multiple provisions aimed at prescription drugs. In response, in September
2021, HHS released a Comprehensive Plan for Addressing High Drug Prices that outlines principles for drug pricing reform and sets out a variety of
potential legislative policies that Congress could pursue to advance these principles. No legislation or administrative actions have been finalized to
implement these principles. In addition, Congress is considering drug pricing as part of other reform initiatives. Individual states in the United States have
also become increasingly active in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical product pricing, including price or
patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some
cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.
We anticipate that these and other healthcare reform efforts will continue to result in additional downward pressure on coverage and the price that we
receive for any approved product, and could seriously harm our business. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare and other government programs
may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may
prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability, or commercialize our products. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on
anticipated revenue from product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall
financial condition and ability to develop product candidates. Further, it is possible that additional governmental action will be taken in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Future issuances of our common stock or instruments convertible or exercisable into our common stock, may materially and adversely affect the
price of our common stock and cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
We may obtain additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings in the near future. If we issue additional shares of common stock
or instruments convertible into common stock, it may materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock. In the past, we have issued shares of
common stock pursuant to at-the-market-issuance sales agreements and we may do so in the future. Certain issuances by us of equity securities may be at
or below the prevailing market price of our common stock and may have a dilutive impact on our existing stockholders. In addition, future exercises of
some or all of our outstanding options, warrants, or other rights may likewise dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders, and any sales in the public
market of any shares of our common stock issuable upon such conversion or exercise, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect
the prevailing market price of our common stock. These issuances or other dilutive issuances would also cause our per share net income, if any, to decrease
in future periods.
The market price and trading volume of our common stock fluctuate significantly and could result in substantial losses for individual investors.
The stock market from time to time experiences significant price and trading volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price and trading volume of our common stock to decrease. In addition, the
market price and trading volume of our common stock is often highly volatile.
48

Table of Contents
Factors that may cause the market price and volume of our common stock to decrease include, among other things:
•
the impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. and global economies;
•
adverse results or delays in our clinical trials, including as a result of COVID-19;
•
fluctuations in our results of operations;
•
timing and announcements of our technological innovations or new products or those of our competitors;
•
developments concerning any strategic alliances or acquisitions we may enter into;
•
announcements of FDA non-approval of our products, or delays in the FDA or other foreign regulatory review processes or actions, including the
CRL for our NDA for poziotinib;
•
changes in recommendations or guidelines of government agencies or other third parties regarding the use of our products;
•
adverse actions taken by regulatory agencies with respect to our drug products, clinical trials, manufacturing processes or sales and marketing
activities;
•
concerns about our in-development products being reimbursed at requisite levels in the future;
•
any lawsuit involving us or our products;
•
developments with respect to our patents and proprietary rights;
•
public concern as to the safety of products developed by us or others;
•
regulatory developments in the U.S. and in foreign countries;
•
changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our common stock or lack of analyst coverage;
•
failure of our results of operations to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors;
•
sales of our common stock by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders or sales of substantial amounts of our common stock
generally; and
•
loss of any of our key scientific or management personnel.
Also, certain dilutive securities such as warrants can be used as hedging tools which may increase volatility in our stock and cause a price decline.
While a decrease in market price could result in direct economic loss for an individual investor, low trading volume could limit an individual investor’s
ability to sell our common stock, which could result in substantial economic loss as well. From January 1, 2022 through March 22, 2023, the closing price
of our common stock ranged between $0.32 and $1.59, and the daily trading volume was as high as 47.7 million shares and as low as 0.5 million shares.
Following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, a securities class action litigation may be instituted against that
company. Regardless of their merit, these types of lawsuits generally result in substantial legal fees and management’s attention and resources being
diverted from the operations of a business.
We have not been in compliance with the requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market for continued listing and if NASDAQ does not concur that we
have adequately remedied our non-compliance, our common stock may be delisted from trading on NASDAQ, which could have a material adverse
effect on us and our shareholders.
We received notice pursuant to a letter dated November 1, 2022 from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that, because the closing bid price for
our common stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer comply with the minimum bid price requirement for
continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.
Nasdaq's notice has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. Pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule
5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until May 1, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid
price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive
business days prior to May 1, 2023.
If we do not regain compliance by May 1, 2023, we may be eligible for an additional grace period if it applies to transfer the listing of its common
stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares
and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice of
its intention to cure the minimum bid price

deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Nasdaq staff determines that we will not be able to
cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be
subject to delisting. We would have the right to appeal a determination to delist its common stock, and the common stock would remain listed on the
Nasdaq Global Market until the completion of the appeal process.
Provisions of our charter, and bylaws may make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of us or replace current management even if doing
so would benefit our stockholders, which may lower the price an acquirer or investor would pay for our stock.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, both as amended, may make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of us or
replace our current management. These provisions include:
•
the ability of our Board of Directors to amend our bylaws without stockholder approval;
•
the inability of stockholders to call special meetings;
•
the ability of members of the Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors;
•
the inability of stockholders to act by written consent, unless such consent is unanimous; and
•
the establishment of advance notice requirements for the nomination of candidates for election to our Board of Directors or for proposing matters
that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings.
These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to take certain corporate actions and could delay, discourage or prevent someone from
acquiring our business or replacing our current management, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. These provisions could limit the price that
certain investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock.
Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property
From time to time we may need to in-license patents and proprietary technologies from third parties, which may be difficult or expensive to obtain.
We may need to obtain licenses to patents and other proprietary rights held by third parties to successfully develop, manufacture and market our drug
products. As an example, it may be necessary to use a third party’s proprietary technology to reformulate one of our drug products in order to improve upon
the capabilities of the drug product. If we are unable to timely obtain these licenses on reasonable terms, or at all, our ability to commercially exploit our
drug products may be inhibited or prevented.
If we are unable to adequately protect our technology or enforce our patent rights, our business could suffer.
Our success with the drug products that we develop will depend, in part, on our ability and the ability of our licensors to obtain and maintain patent
protection for these products. We currently have a number of U.S. and foreign patents issued and pending, however, we primarily rely on patent rights
licensed from others. Our license agreements generally give us the right and/or obligation to maintain and enforce the subject patents. We may not receive
patents for any of our pending patent applications or any patent applications we may file in the future. If our pending and future patent applications are not
allowed or, if allowed and issued into patents, if such patents and the patents we have licensed are not upheld in a court of law, our ability to competitively
exploit our drug products would be substantially harmed. Also, such patents may or may not provide competitive advantages for their respective products
or they may be challenged or circumvented by our competitors, in which case our ability to commercially exploit these products may be diminished.
The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. No
consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in pharmaceutical and biotechnology patents has emerged to date in the U.S. The laws of many
countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as U.S. laws, and those countries may lack adequate rules and procedures for
defending our intellectual property rights. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on all our product or product candidates throughout the world would be
prohibitively expensive. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions not covered by any of our patent claims or other intellectual property rights.
50

Table of Contents
Changes in either patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the U.S. and other countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property.
We do not know whether any of our patent applications will result in the issuance of any patents, and we cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be
allowed in our patent applications or in the patent applications we license from others.
Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats.
The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately
protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage. For example:
•
in certain jurisdictions, we or our licensors might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by each of our or our licensors’ pending
patent applications and issued patents, and we may have to participate in expensive and protracted interference proceedings to determine priority
of invention;     
•
we or our licensors might not have been the first to file patent applications for these inventions;     
•
others may independently develop similar or alternative product candidates or duplicate any of our or our licensors’ product candidates;
•
our or our licensors’ pending patent applications may not result in issued patents;         
•
our or our licensors’ issued patents may not provide a basis for commercially viable products or may not provide us with any competitive
advantages or may be challenged by third parties;     
•
others may design around our or our licensors’ patent claims to produce competitive products that fall outside the scope of our or our licensors’
patents;         
•
we may not develop or in-license additional patentable proprietary technologies related to our product or product candidates; or     
•
the patents of others may prevent us from marketing our product or product candidates for one or more indications that may be valuable to our
business strategy.
An issued patent does not guarantee us the right to practice the patented technology or commercialize the patented product. Third parties may have
blocking patents that could be used to prevent us from commercializing our patented products and practicing our patented technology. Patents issued to us
and our licensors and those that may be issued in the future to us and our licensors may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, which could limit our
ability to prevent competitors from marketing related product candidates or could limit the length of the term of patent protection of our product candidates.
Our competitors may independently develop similar technologies. In addition, because of the extensive time required for development, testing and
regulatory review of a potential product, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent may expire or
remain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantage of the patent.
If we fail to comply with our obligations in the agreements under which we license intellectual property rights from third parties or otherwise
experience disruptions to our business relationships with our licensors, we could lose intellectual property rights that are important to our business.
We are a party to exclusive license agreements with our partners and may need to obtain additional licenses from others to advance our research and
development activities or allow the commercialization of our current product candidates and future product candidates we may identify and pursue. Our
license agreements may impose, and we expect that future license agreements could impose various requirements on us, such as obligations related to
development, diligence and commercialization, among others. In spite of our efforts, our licensors might conclude that we have materially breached our
obligations under such license agreements and might therefore terminate the license agreements, thereby removing or limiting our ability to develop and
commercialize products and technology covered by these license agreements. If these in-licenses are terminated, or if the underlying patents fail to provide
the intended exclusivity, competitors or other third parties would have the freedom to seek regulatory approval of, and to market, products identical to ours
and we may be required to cease our development and commercialization of our current product candidates or other product candidates that we may
identify. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial conditions, results of operations, and
prospects.
Moreover, disputes may arise regarding intellectual property subject to a licensing agreement, including:
•
the scope of rights granted under the license agreement and other interpretation-related issues;
51

Table of Contents
•
the extent to which our product or product candidates, technology and manufacturing processes infringe on intellectual property of the licensor
that is not subject to the licensing agreement;
•
the sublicensing of patent and other rights under our collaborative development relationships;
•
our diligence obligations under the license agreement and what activities satisfy those diligence obligations;
•
the inventorship and ownership of inventions and know-how resulting from the joint creation or use of intellectual property by our licensors and us
and our partners; and
•
the priority of invention of patented technology.
In addition, the agreements under which we currently license intellectual property or technology from third parties are complex, and certain
provisions in such agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise
could narrow what we believe to be the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology, or increase what we believe to be our
financial or other obligations under the relevant agreement, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results
of operations, and prospects. Moreover, if disputes over intellectual property that we have licensed prevent or impair our ability to maintain our current
licensing arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize the affected product candidates,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects.
If we fail to adequately protect our trademarks, our developing brand recognition could suffer.
We currently hold issued trademark registrations and have trademark applications pending, any of which may be the subject of a governmental or
third-party objection, which could prevent the maintenance or issuance of the same. If we enforce our trademarks against third parties, such enforcement
proceedings may be expensive. As our product and product candidates become more established and further develop, 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 and
trade dress that infringe, dilute or otherwise violate our trademark rights, our business could be materially adversely affected.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our product and product candidates in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively
expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States can be less extensive than those in the United States.
In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United
States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or
importing products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions
where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and may also export infringing products to territories where we have patent
protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with our products and our patents or other intellectual
property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.
Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal
systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property
protection, particularly those relating to biotechnology products, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of
competing products in violation of our proprietary rights generally. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions, whether or not
successful, could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being
invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not
prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to
enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that
we develop or license.
Patent terms may be inadequate to protect our competitive position on our product and product candidates for an adequate amount of time.
52

Table of Contents
Patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years
from its earliest U.S. non-provisional filing date. Various extensions may be available, but the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Even
if patents covering our product and product candidates are obtained, once the patent life has expired, we may be open to competition from competitive
products, including generics or biosimilars. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product
candidates, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after such candidates are commercialized. As a result, our owned and licensed
patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to ours.
Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.
Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the
prosecution of patent applications and the enforcement or defense of issued patents. Assuming that other requirements for patentability are met, prior to
March 2013, in the United States, the first to invent the claimed invention was entitled to the patent, while outside the United States, the first to file a patent
application was entitled to the patent. After March 2013, under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the “America Invents Act”) enacted in September
2011, the United States transitioned to a first inventor to file system in which, assuming that other requirements for patentability are met, the first inventor
to file a patent application will be entitled to the patent on an invention regardless of whether a third party was the first to invent the claimed invention. A
third party that files a patent application in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) after March 2013, but before us could therefore be
awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before it was made by such third party. This will require us to be
cognizant of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are
confidential for a period of time after filing or until issuance, we cannot be certain that we or our licensors were the first to either (i) file any patent
application related to our product or product candidates or (ii) invent any of the inventions claimed in our or our licensor’s patents or patent applications.
The America Invents Act also includes a number of significant changes that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and also may affect
patent litigation. These include allowing third party submission of prior art to the USPTO during patent prosecution and additional procedures to attack the
validity of a patent by USPTO administered post-grant proceedings, including post-grant review, inter partes review, and derivation proceedings. Because
of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal courts necessary to invalidate a patent
claim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same
evidence would be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO
procedures to invalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.
Therefore, the America Invents Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our owned or in-
licensed patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our owned or in-licensed issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
In addition, the patent positions of companies in the development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals are particularly uncertain. Recent U.S.
Supreme Court rulings have narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances and weakened the rights of patent owners in certain
situations. This combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the validity and enforceability of patents, once obtained. Depending on future
actions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts, and the USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that could
have a material adverse effect on our existing patent portfolio and our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property in the future.
Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other
requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these
requirements.
Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees and various other governmental fees on patents and/or applications will be due to be paid to the
USPTO and various governmental patent agencies outside of the United States in several stages over the lifetime of the patents and/or applications. We
have systems in place to remind us when the fees are due, and we employ an outside firm to automatically pay these fees to both US and non-U.S agencies
and we rely on our outside counsel to verify and confirm payment of these fees. The USPTO and various non-U.S. governmental patent agencies require
compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment, and other similar provisions during the patent application process. We employ
reputable law firms and other professionals to help us comply, and in many cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by
53

Table of Contents
payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. However, there are situations in which non-compliance can result in
abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event,
our competitors might be able to enter the market and this circumstance would have a material adverse effect on our business.
Intellectual property rights are complex and uncertain and therefore may subject us to infringement claims.
The patent positions related to our drug products are inherently uncertain and involve complex legal and factual issues. We believe that there is
significant litigation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. A patent does not provide the
patent holder with freedom to operate in a way that infringes the patent rights of others. We may be accused of patent infringement at any time. The
coverage of patents is subject to interpretation by the courts, and the interpretation is not always uniform. If we are sued for patent infringement, we would
need to demonstrate that our products or methods do not infringe the patent claims of the relevant patent and/or that the patent claims are invalid or
unenforceable, and we may not be able to do this. Proving invalidity, in particular, is difficult since it requires a showing of clear and convincing evidence
to overcome the presumption of validity enjoyed by issued patents in the U.S.
Although we are not aware of any infringement by any of our drug products of any valid patent rights of any third party, there may be third party
patents or other intellectual property rights, including trademarks and copyrights, relevant to our drug products of which we are not aware. Third parties
may assert patent or other intellectual property infringement claims against us, or our licensors and collaborators, with products. Any claims that might be
brought against us relating to infringement of patents may cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, may cause us to
pay substantial damages and result in the loss of our use of the intellectual property that is critical to our business strategy.
In the event that we or our partners are found to infringe any valid claim of a patent held by a third party, we may, among other things, be required to:
•
pay damages, including up to treble damages and the other party’s attorneys’ fees, which may be substantial;
•
cease the development, manufacture, use and sale of our products that infringe the patent rights of others through a court-imposed sanction such as
an injunction;
•
expend significant resources to redesign our products so they do not infringe others’ patent rights, which may not be possible;
•
discontinue manufacturing or other processes incorporating infringing technology; or
•
obtain licenses to the infringed intellectual property, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants or independent contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information
of third parties or that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
As is common in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry, we employ individuals who were previously employed at universities or other
biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. Although we try to ensure that our employees, consultants
and independent contractors do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or our
employees, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other
proprietary information, of any of our employee’s former employer or other third parties. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we
fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel, which could
adversely impact our business. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to
management and other employees.
In addition, while we require our employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual property to
execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who, in fact,
conceives or develops intellectual property that we regard as our own. The assignment of intellectual property rights may not be self-executing or the
assignment agreements may be breached, and we may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims that they may bring against us, to
determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual property.
We may be involved in additional lawsuits to defend or enforce our patents, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful.
54

Table of Contents
Competitors may infringe upon our patents. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims, which can
be expensive and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that one or more of our patents is not valid or is
unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover the technology in
question. An adverse result in any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated, held unenforceable, or
interpreted narrowly and could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing. Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would involve
substantial litigation expense and would be a substantial diversion of employee resources from our business.
Interference or derivation proceedings provoked by third parties or brought by the USPTO may be necessary to determine the priority of inventions
with respect to our patents or patent applications. An unfavorable outcome could require us to cease using the related technology or to attempt to license
rights to it from the prevailing party. Our business could be harmed if the prevailing party does not offer us a license on commercially reasonable terms.
Litigation or interference proceedings may fail, even if successful, may result in substantial costs and distract our management and other employees. We
may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our trade secrets or confidential information, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect those
rights as fully as in the U.S. or in Europe.
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery that could be required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk
that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, there could be public
announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to
be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on our stock price.
We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of our patents and other intellectual property.
We or our licensors may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in our owned or in-licensed
patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property as an inventor or co-inventor. For example, we or our licensors may have inventorship disputes arise
from conflicting obligations of employees, consultants or others who are involved in developing our product or product candidates. Litigation may be
necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship or our or our licensors’ ownership of our owned or in-licensed patents, trade
secrets or other intellectual property. If we or our licensors fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose
valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, intellectual property that is important to our product and product
candidates. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and
other employees. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Data breaches and cyber-attacks could compromise our intellectual property or other sensitive information and cause significant damage to our
business, reputational harm and financial loss.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, maintain and transmit sensitive data on our networks and systems, including our intellectual
property and proprietary or confidential business information (such as research data and personal information) and confidential information with respect to
our customers, clinical trial patients and our business partners. We have also outsourced significant elements of our information technology infrastructure
and, as a result, third parties may or could have access to our confidential information and personal data. The secure maintenance of this information is
critical to our business and reputation. We believe that companies have been increasingly subject to a wide variety of security incidents, cyber-attacks and
other attempts to gain unauthorized access and unintentional breaches. These threats can come from a variety of sources, ranging in sophistication from an
individual hacker to a state-sponsored attack and motive (including corporate espionage). Cyber threats may be generic, or they may be custom-crafted
against our information systems. Our network and storage applications and those of our vendors may be subject to unauthorized access by hackers or
information security breaches due to operator error, malfeasance or other system disruptions. It is often difficult to anticipate or immediately detect such
incidents and the damage caused by such incidents, particularly for cyber incidents such as advanced persistent threats. These data breaches and any
unauthorized access or disclosure of our information or intellectual property could compromise our intellectual property and expose sensitive business
information. A data security breach could also lead to public exposure of personal information of our clinical trial patients, customers and others. Cyber-
attacks and information security breaches could cause us to incur significant remediation costs, result in product development delays, disrupt key business
operations and divert attention of management and key information technology resources. Our network security and data recovery measures and those of
our vendors may not be able to detect or prevent every attempted breach and may not permit us to respond effectively to every breach. These incidents
could also subject us to liability, expose us to significant expense and cause significant harm to our reputation and business. Reputational harm resulting
from a significant cyber incident may cause unquantifiable damage to our established goodwill. Moreover, as cyber incidents continue to evolve, we will
likely be required to expend additional
55

Table of Contents
resources to enhance our security posture and cybersecurity defenses or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to or consequences of cyber
incidents. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to prevent or recover from cyberattacks, including coverage of applicable resulting losses arising
from the incident.
Further, each foreign jurisdiction and U.S. state in which we operate may have laws governing how we must respond to a cyber incident that results
in the unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss of personal information. Additionally, new laws and regulations governing data privacy and unauthorized
disclosure of confidential information, including recent California legislation providing for a private right of action, pose increasingly complex compliance
challenges and could potentially elevate our costs over time. As legislation continues to develop and cyber incidents continue to evolve, we will likely be
required to expend significant resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures to comply with such legislation and to detect, investigate
and remediate vulnerabilities to cyber incidents. Any failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations could result in reputational harm, loss of
goodwill, penalties, liabilities and/or mandated changes in our business practices.
General Risk Factors
Our failure to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial
statements, our failure to meet our reporting obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which in turn
could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
The results of our periodic management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting are required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any failure to maintain enhanced monitoring controls and improved detection and communication of financial misstatements
across all levels of the organization could result in (i) material weaknesses, (ii) material misstatements in our financial statements, requiring restatements of
our previously-filed financial statements, and (iii) cause us to fail to meet our timely reporting and debt compliance obligations. These outcomes could
cause us to lose public confidence, and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. For further information regarding our controls and
procedures, see Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Changes in our effective income tax rate could adversely affect our profitability. Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and
certain other tax attributes may be limited.
We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the U.S. and our tax liabilities are dependent upon the distribution of income among these different
jurisdictions. Various factors may have significant favorable or unfavorable effects on our effective income tax rate, and could have an impact on our
profitability. These factors include, but are not limited to:
•
interpretations of existing tax laws;
•
the accounting for stock options and other share-based compensation;
•
changes in tax laws and rates;
•
future levels of research and development spending;
•
changes in accounting standards;
•
changes in the mix of earnings in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate;
•
the outcome of examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and tax regulators in other jurisdictions;
•
the accuracy of our estimates for unrecognized tax benefits;
•
realization of deferred tax assets; and
•
changes in overall levels of pre-tax earnings.

Table of Contents
Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined
as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-ownership change net
operating loss carryforwards and other pre-ownership change tax attributes to offset its post-change income may be limited. As of December 31, 2022 we
have U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $789.3 million. As a result of our public offerings of common stock, we may have triggered an
“ownership change.” We may also experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership. Accordingly, if we
earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject
to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us. If we become profitable in the future, our ability to use net operating loss
carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income or reduce taxes may be subject to limitations, and we cannot assure what, if any, the
benefit related to our net operating loss carryforwards will be in the future.
Natural disasters, war and other events could adversely affect our future revenues and operating income.
Natural disasters, including the impacts of climate change, hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, fires, earthquakes and floods and other extreme
weather events, global health pandemics, war, terrorism, labor disruptions and international conflicts, and actions taken by the United States and other
governments or by our customers or suppliers in response to such events, could cause significant economic disruption and political and social instability in
the United States and areas outside of the United States in which we operate. These events could result in decreased demand for our products, adversely
affect our manufacturing and distribution capabilities, or increase the costs for or cause interruptions in the supply of materials from our suppliers.
Our business and operations are subject to risks related to climate change.
The long-term effects of global climate change present risks to our business. Extreme weather or other conditions caused by climate change could
adversely impact our supply chain and the availability and cost of raw materials and components required for the operation of our business. Such
conditions could also result in physical damage to products, plants and distribution centers, as well as the infrastructure and facilities and other customers.
In addition, regulations intended to limit greenhouse gas emissions, such as taxes on fuel and energy, to mitigate the impacts of climate change may
increase, which could increase our operating costs and the costs charged by suppliers. These events could adversely affect our operations and our financial
performance.
We are subject to the risks of securities and related litigation, which may expose us to substantial liabilities and could seriously harm our business.
We may be subject to the risk of securities litigation and derivative actions from time to time as a result of being publicly traded, including the
remaining unresolved actions set forth in Item 3. Legal Proceedings. There can be no assurance that any settlement or liabilities in such actions or any
future lawsuits or claims against us would be covered or partially covered by our insurance policies, which could have a material adverse effect on our
earnings in one or more periods. While we and our Board of Directors deny the allegations of wrongdoing against us in the unresolved actions initiated
against us, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome or timing of their resolutions. In addition to the potential costs and liabilities, securities
litigation could divert management’s attention and resources, which could seriously harm our business.
Global, market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and share price.
Concerns over inflation, geopolitical issues, the U.S. financial markets, foreign exchange rates, capital and exchange controls, unstable global credit
markets and financial conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to periods of significant economic instability, declines in consumer confidence and
discretionary spending, diminished expectations for the global economy and expectations of slower global economic growth going forward, and increased
unemployment rates. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturns, volatile business environments and
continued unstable or unpredictable economic and market conditions. If these conditions continue to deteriorate or do not improve, it may make any
necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to complete, more costly and more dilutive. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current or
future service providers, manufacturers, suppliers and other partners could be negatively affected by difficult economic times, which could adversely affect
our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget or meet our business and financial objectives.
In addition, we face several risks associated with international business and are subject to global events beyond our control, including war, public
health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, trade disputes, economic sanctions, trade wars and their collateral impacts and other international events.
Any of these changes could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. There may be changes to
our business if there is instability,
57

disruption or destruction in a significant geographic region, regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest; and natural
or man-made disasters, including famine, flood, fire, earthquake, storm or disease. In February 2022, armed conflict escalated between Russia and Ukraine.
The sanctions announced by the U.S. and other countries, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine against Russia to date include restrictions on selling or
importing goods, services or technology in or from affected regions and travel bans and asset freezes impacting connected individuals and political,
military, business and financial organizations in Russia. The U.S. and other countries could impose wider sanctions and take other actions should the
conflict further escalate. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of this conflict, which could include further sanctions, embargoes, regional
instability, geopolitical shifts and adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, currency exchange rates and financial markets, all of which could impact
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
We lease 10,000 square feet for our principal executive office in Boston, Massachusetts under an operating lease expiring December 31, 2024, and
4,000 square feet for our administrative and research and development facility in Irvine, California under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring July 31,
2025. We believe that these leased facilities are adequate to meet our current and planned business needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
     From time-to-time, we are involved with various legal matters arising from the ordinary course of operating our publicly-traded pharmaceutical
business. These legal matters may include product liability claims, intellectual property claims, employment practices claims, shareholder claims, among
other general claims. We record liability provisions to our financial statements for such matters when it is both: (1) probable that a payment will be made to
the claimant and (2) we can reasonably estimate the payment amount, given all available information. 
    Our legal accrual assessments are performed at least quarterly, and are adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and
administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to each particular case. Although litigation is inherently
unpredictable, we do not believe that individually or in the aggregate, these claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of
operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
    Certain of our legal proceedings are discussed in Note 8(g) - Litigation to our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including the risks we discuss in Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in
this Annual Report.
Company Overview
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company, with a
strategy of acquiring, developing, and commercializing novel and targeted oncology therapies. We have an in-house clinical development organization with
regulatory and data management capabilities, in addition to commercial infrastructure and a field based sales force for our marketed product,
ROLVEDON™ (formerly known as eflapegrastim).
We have one commercial asset and one drug candidate in late-stage development:
•
ROLVEDON™ is a novel long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (“G-CSF”) for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.
On April 11, 2022, we announced that we had received notice that the resubmission of our Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for
ROLVEDON had been accepted and received a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) date of September 9, 2022. On September 9, 2022,
we received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) marketing approval for ROLVEDON and began commercialization activities in
the fourth quarter of 2022; and
•
Poziotinib is a novel irreversible TKI under investigation for NSCLC tumors with various mutations. On December 6, 2021, we announced we
submitted our NDA for poziotinib to the FDA for use in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with HER2 exon
20 insertion mutations. The NDA submission is based on the positive results of Cohort 2 from the ZENITH20 clinical trial, which assessed the
safety and efficacy of poziotinib. The product candidate received fast track designation from the FDA and there is currently no treatment
specifically approved by the FDA for this indication. On February 11, 2022, we announced that we received notice from the FDA that the NDA
had been accepted for filing and received a PDUFA action date of November 24, 2022. On September 22, 2022, the Company met with the FDA’s
Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (“ODAC”). The ODAC voted 9 (no) - 4 (yes) that the current benefits of poziotinib did not outweigh its
risks for the treatment of patients with NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. On November 25, 2022, we announced that we had
received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA regarding our NDA. The CRL stated that the FDA determined that it could not
approve the NDA in its present form and provided recommendations needed for resubmission, including generating additional data from a
randomized controlled study prior to approval. We are continuing to evaluate these recommendations but we have de-prioritized further poziotinib
development activities.
Our business strategy is the development of our late-stage assets through commercialization and the sourcing of additional assets that are synergistic
with our existing portfolio (through purchase acquisitions, in-licensing transactions, or co-development and marketing arrangements).
Recent Highlights of Our Business, Product Development Initiatives, and Regulatory Approvals
Our product and commercial product pipeline is summarized below:
59

Table of Contents
ROLVEDON, a novel long-acting G-CSF:
We submitted our BLA for ROLVEDON to the FDA on October 24, 2019 that is supported by data from two similarly designed Phase 3 clinical
trials, ADVANCE and RECOVER, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of ROLVEDON in 643 early-stage breast cancer patients for the treatment of
neutropenia due to myelosuppressive chemotherapy. Both studies met the pre-specified endpoint of non-inferiority in duration of severe neutropenia and
met all of the secondary endpoints. In addition, the safety profile was similar to pegfilgrastim. On August 6, 2021, we announced the receipt of a Complete
Response Letter (“CRL”) based on manufacturing deficiencies identified at both the drug substance and drug product manufacturers. The Company
believes these manufacturing deficiencies had been remediated and on March 11, 2022, we resubmitted the BLA for ROLVEDON. On April 11, 2022, the
Company announced that it had received notice that the BLA had been accepted and received a PDUFA date of September 9, 2022. On September 9, 2022,
the Company received FDA marketing approval for ROLVEDON injection to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in
adult patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with clinically significant incidence of febrile
neutropenia. We began commercialization activities of ROLVEDON in the fourth quarter of 2022 and ROLVEDON is currently being marketed for sale in
the United States.
A company sponsored clinical trial that has been initiated to evaluate the administration of eflapegrastim on the same day as chemotherapy is
currently ongoing. This Phase 1 clinical trial is a randomized, open label, actively controlled study to evaluate the same-day dosing of eflapegrastim on
duration of neutropenia when administered at varying intervals following docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC) chemotherapy in patients with early-stage
breast cancer. The study was completed with the enrollment of 16 patients dosed with eflapegrastim 30 minutes after chemotherapy on the same day in
Cycle 1. The study added an Expansion Phase with a plan to dose approximately 45 patients with eflapegrastim 30 minutes after the chemotherapy on the
same day in all 4 cycles. The overall safety profile to date for the 30-minute arm was similar to what has been seen previously in large, randomized studies
with G-CSF given 24 hours after chemotherapy. The safety will be monitored continuously throughout the Expansion Phase of the study. An evaluation of
safety and efficacy will be conducted once the data from 6 patients in the Expansion Phase is complete to determine the trend.
As part of the post-market requirement, Spectrum is expected to conduct a pediatric study in Rolvedon that includes the development of an
appropriate formulation to dose certain pediatric patients of 1 month to 17 years of age based on weight-based dosing. The study as well as the
development of a pediatric formulation is in progress.
Poziotinib, a Pan ErbB inhibitor targeting HER2 exon20 mutations:
Poziotinib is a novel, pan-HER inhibitor that irreversibly blocks signaling through the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (“EGFR”) family of
tyrosine-kinase receptors, including HER1 (erbB1; EGFR), HER2 (erbB2), HER4 (erbB4), and HER receptor mutations. This, in turn, leads to the
inhibition of the proliferation of tumor cells that over-express these receptors. Mutations of over-expression/amplification of EGFR family receptors have
been associated with a number of different cancers, including NSCLC, breast cancer, and gastric cancer. In February 2015, we entered into a co-
development and commercialization agreement with Hanmi for poziotinib worldwide rights, except in Korea and China.
Our clinical development program for poziotinib is focused on previously treated NSCLC, first-line treatment of NSCLC and treatment of other solid
tumors with HER2 mutations. NSCLC tumors with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations are rare and have generally not been responsive to other TKIs.
Patients with these mutations have a poor prognosis, and available treatment options are limited. Poziotinib, due to its unique chemical structure and
characteristics, is believed to inhibit cell growth of tumors with HER2 exon-20 insertion mutations.
In October 2017, we announced the start of a pivotal Phase 2 global clinical trial with active sites in the U.S., Canada and Europe (“ZENITH20”).
The ZENITH20 trial consisted of seven cohorts of NSCLC patients. Cohorts 1, 2, 3 and 4 had completed enrollment while Cohorts 5, 6, and 7 ceased
enrolling patients upon the receipt of the CRL (discussed below). Cohorts 1 (EGFR) and 2 (HER2) included previously treated NSCLC patients with exon
20 mutations. Cohort 3 (EGFR) and 4 (HER2) included first-line NSCLC patients with exon 20 mutations. Cohorts 1- 4 were each independently powered
for a pre-specified statistical hypothesis and the primary endpoint was objective response rate (“ORR”). Cohort 5 included previously treated or treatment-
naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations and evaluated different dosing regimens. Cohort 6 included NSCLC patients with
classical EGFR mutations who progressed while on treatment with first-line osimertinib and developed an additional EGFR mutation. Cohort 7 included
NSCLC patients with a variety of less common mutations in EGFR or HER2 exons 18-21 or the extracellular or transmembrane domains.
On December 26, 2019, we announced that the pre-specified primary endpoint was not met in Cohort 1 of the ZENITH20 trial evaluating poziotinib
in previously treated NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Cohort 1 enrolled a total of 115 patients who received 16 mg/day of
poziotinib. The intent-to-treat analysis showed that 17 patients had a response (by RECIST) and 62 patients had stable disease for a 68.7% disease control
rate (“DCR”). The confirmed ORR was 14.8%
60

Table of Contents
(95% CI 8.9%-22.6%). The median duration of response was 7.4 months and the progression free survival was 4.2 months. The safety profile was in-line
with other second-generation EGFR TKIs.
On July 27, 2020, we announced that we met the pre-specified primary endpoint for Cohort 2 in the ZENITH20 trial evaluating previously treated
NSCLC patients with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. Cohort 2 enrolled a total of 90 patients who received an oral, once daily dose of 16 mg of
poziotinib. All the patients had failed at least one line of prior systemic therapy with 60 patients (67%) having failed two or more prior therapies, including
chemotherapy and immunotherapy. All responses were read independently and confirmed by a central imaging laboratory using RECIST criteria. The
intent-to-treat analysis demonstrated a confirmed ORR of 27.8% (95% CI of 18.9%-38.2%). Based on the pre-specified statistical hypothesis for the
primary endpoint, the observed lower bound of 18.9% exceeded the pre-specified lower bound of 17% in this heavily pre-treated population. The safety
profile was in-line with the type of adverse events seen with other second-generation EGFR TKIs. These results were presented at the European Society for
Medical Oncology (“ESMO”) Virtual Congress 2020 Science Weekend held in September 2020.
In December 2020, we reported that its pre-specified primary endpoint in Cohort 3 evaluating poziotinib in first-line NSCLC patients with EGFR
exon 20 insertion mutations was not met. Cohort 3 of the ZENITH20 clinical trial enrolled a total of 79 patients who received an oral once daily dose of 16
mg of poziotinib. The median time of follow up of all patients was 9.2 months. The intent-to-treat analysis showed that 22 patients had a partial response
(by RECIST) and 68 patients had stable disease for an 86.1% DCR. 91% of patients experienced tumor reduction with a median reduction of 25.5%. The
confirmed ORR was 27.8% (95% CI 18.4-39.1%). Based on the pre-specified statistical hypothesis for the primary endpoint, the observed lower bound of
18.4% did not meet the pre-specified lower bound of >20%. The median duration of response was 6.5 months and the median progression free survival was
7.2 months. The safety profile was similar with the type of adverse events observed with other second-generation EGFR TKIs. Grade 3 treatment related
rash was 33% and diarrhea was 23%. 94% of patients had drug interruptions with 6 patients (8%) permanently discontinuing due to adverse events.
In March 2021, we announced that the FDA granted fast track designation for poziotinib based on data from Cohort 2 of ZENITH20, which evaluated
previously treated patients with NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. On December 6, 2021, the Company announced the submission of its
NDA for poziotinib to the FDA for use in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations.
The NDA submission is based on the positive results of Cohort 2 from the ZENITH20 clinical trial, which assessed the safety and efficacy of poziotinib.
On February 11, 2022, the Company announced that the file had been accepted and an action date of November 24, 2022 had been set.
In March 2022, the Company presented the results of Cohort 4 at the European Society for Medical Oncology Targeted Anticancer Therapies
(“ESMO TAT”) meeting. Cohort 4 of the ZENITH20 clinical trial enrolled a total of 70 patients, 48 of whom received an oral once daily dose of 16 mg of
poziotinib and 22 of who received an oral twice daily dose of 8 mg of poziotinib. The intent-to-treat analysis demonstrated a confirmed ORR of 41% (95%
CI of 30%-54%). Based on the pre-specified statistical hypothesis for the primary endpoint, the observed lower bound of 30% exceeded the pre-specified
lower bound of 20%. The median duration of response was 5.7 months and median progression free survival was 5.6 months. The most common treatment
related Grade ≥ 3 adverse events were rash (30%), stomatitis (19%), diarrhea (14%), and paronychia (7%). In addition, the incidence of Grade ≥ 3
pneumonitis was low at 3%. The safety profile was consistent with the TKI class.
On September 22, 2022, the Company met with ODAC to review poziotinib for the treatment of patients with previously treated locally advanced or
metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. The committee voted 9 (no) - 4 (yes) that the current benefits of
poziotinib did not outweigh its risks. ODAC is an independent panel of experts that reviews and evaluates data concerning the efficacy and safety of
marketed and investigational products for use in the treatment of cancer. ODAC makes appropriate recommendations to the FDA, but these
recommendations are not binding and the final decision regarding product approval will be made solely by the FDA. On November 25, 2022, the Company
announced that it had received a CRL from the FDA regarding our NDA, indicating that the NDA could not be approved in its present form and that based
on the CRL, the Company would have to generate additional data including a randomized controlled study prior to approval. The Company also announced
that we are de-prioritizing poziotinib program activities.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted economic activity and conditions worldwide, including workforces, liquidity, capital markets,
consumer behavior, supply chains, and macroeconomic conditions. Despite progress in vaccination efforts, global economic activity remains uncertain and
cannot be predicted with confidence.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our results of operations depends on numerous evolving factors, which are
highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including new information that may emerge concerning the continued severity of COVID-19 and variants of
COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among
61

Table of Contents
others. For more information related to the impact of COVID-19 on our business, refer to the risk factors within Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to
Our Business -- COVID-19 and other pandemics, epidemics, or outbreaks of a contagious illness could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our
business and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.
Components of Operating Results
The below summarizes the nature of our revenue and operating expense line items within our Consolidated Statements of Operations:
Net Sales
ROLVEDON became available for commercial sale to patients with prescriptions in the fourth quarter of 2022. We sell ROLVEDON to large
pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors, which we recognize revenue upon title transfer (which is typically at time of delivery), provided our other
revenue recognition criteria have been met. The transaction price that we recognize for ROLVEDON revenue includes an estimate of variable
consideration. Shipping and handling costs to our customers are recorded as cost of sales. The components of variable consideration include:
Product Returns Allowances: Our customers are contractually permitted to return purchased products in certain circumstances. We estimate expected
product returns for our allowance based on our expected return rates of similar products as well as assumptions regarding projected demand. Returned
product is typically destroyed, since substantially all returns are due to expiry and cannot be resold.
Government Chargebacks: Our product is subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, and 340B Drug
Pricing Program). Qualifying entities (i.e., end-users) purchase products from our customers at their qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount
we incur represents the difference between our contractual sales price to our customer, and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price under the
government program. There may be significant lag time between our reported net product sales and our receipt of the corresponding government
chargeback claims from our customers.
Prompt Pay Discounts: Discounts for prompt payment are estimated at the time of sale, based on our eligible customers’ prompt payment history and the
contractual discount percentage.
Commercial Rebates: Commercial rebates are based on (i) our estimates of end-user purchases through a group purchasing organization (“GPO”), (ii) the
corresponding contractual rebate percentage tier we expect each GPO to achieve, and (iii) our estimates of the impact of any prospective rebate program
changes made by us.
Medicaid Rebates: Our product is subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state governments.
These rebates arise when a patient treated with our product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for our product under the applicable
Medicaid program. Our Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require us to project the magnitude of our sales, by state, that will be subject to these rebates.
There is a significant time lag in us receiving rebate notices from each state (generally several months or longer after our sale is recognized). Our estimates
are based on our historical claim levels of similar products by state, as supplemented by management’s judgment.
Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of our
products for various commercial services including contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product returns
processing. These fees are based on a contractually-determined percentage of our applicable sales.
Our revenue recognition criteria are described in greater detail below and in Note 2(i) to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the cost of the inventory sold, which includes direct manufacturing, production and packaging materials, shipping expenses,
and royalty fees.
Operating Expenses
62

Table of Contents
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefits for our sales force
and personnel that support our sales and marketing operations, and our general operations such as information technology, executive management, financial
accounting, and human resources. It also includes costs attributable to marketing our products to our customers and prospective customers, patent and legal
fees, financial statement audit fees, insurance coverage fees, personnel recruiting fees, and other professional services.
Research and Development
Our research and development activities primarily relate to the clinical development of our drug pipeline and costs associated with at-risk
manufacture of drug products prior to FDA approval.
These clinical development expenses specifically consist of (i) compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefits for research and
development and clinical and regulatory personnel, (ii) materials and supplies for each project, (iii) consultants, and (iv) associated regulatory and clinical
site expenses.
Our research and development manufacturing expenses are recognized in the period which the activity occurs and includes (i) our technology transfer
costs for production, (ii) FDA qualification costs of our contract manufacturers’ sites, and (iii) material and service costs associated with our inventory
build prior to FDA approval.

Net Sales. During the fourth quarter of 2022, net sales were $10.1 million as we began to sell our sole commercial product, ROLVEDON, which was
approved by the FDA on September 9, 2022. We had no sales during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Cost of Sales. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the cost of sales was $1.8 million, which consisted primarily of packaging costs, freight
and royalties associated with the net sales of ROLVEDON owed to our licensing partner and $1.1 million of start-up expenses associated with stability and
bio-burden testing. The amount did not include any direct costs associated with the manufacture of ROLVEDON. Prior to FDA approval in September
2022, we expensed approximately $5.7 million in costs associated with the manufacturing of ROLVEDON as a component of research and development
expense. If we were to have included those costs previously expensed as a component of cost of sales, our cost of sales for the year ended
63

Table of Contents
December 31, 2022 would have been $3.0 million. We expect to sell the remaining $4.5 million of previously expensed inventory over the next nine
months. We expect the cost of sales to remain low through the first nine months of 2023 as we sell through certain inventory that was expensed prior to
FDA approval of ROLVEDON in September 2022, and we expect our cost of sales to increase thereafter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2022 by
approximately $21.6 million to $38.8 million as compared to the comparable period ended December 31, 2021. This decrease primarily related to (i) a $7.7
million decrease in personnel expenses, primarily associated with the reduction in workforce during the strategic restructuring that began in January 2022,
(ii) a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $8.6 million, (iii) a decrease in deferred compensation expense of $3.7 million given decreases in
the overall market compared to the prior year period, (iv) a decrease of $1.4 million in professional services, (v) and a decrease of $0.1 million in other
general expenses. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase as our sales and marketing expenses increase due to the
commercialization of ROLVEDON.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2022 by approximately $45.1
million to $42.2 million as compared to the comparable period ended December 31, 2021. This decrease related to the reversal of an $11.2 million
ROLVEDON drug substance accrual during the period. A concession was provided by Hanmi for drug substance which had been accrued during 2021 and
is no longer payable. Expenses also decreased in the current period due to decreased program activities of $12.6 million for ROLVEDON, $8.1 million for
poziotinib, and $2.5 million related to our early-stage compounds. Personnel expenses decreased by $10.7 million related to the reduction in workforce
during the strategic restructuring that began in January 2022.
Total Other Expense. Total other expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2022 by $5.4 million as compared to the comparable period
ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to a $14.4 million reduction of unrealized losses in our equity holdings compared to the prior year period. This
decrease was partially offset by a $7.7 million increase in realized losses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022 for the sale of our equity
holdings in addition to a $1.4 million increased loss on our deferred compensation plan assets.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes. Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, increased by
$2.9 million of income as we reversed accruals in the current period that contractually expired and for which we are no longer liable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to incur future net losses as we continue to fund the advancement and commercialization of our product and product candidates. Based
upon our current projections, including our intention to continue to place a disciplined focus on streamlining our business operations, we believe that our
$75.1 million in aggregate cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2022, will be sufficient to fund our current and planned
operations for at least the next twelve months from the date this Annual Report is filed with the SEC. However, should our net sales prove to be less than
we currently anticipate, or our cost of sales and expenses prove to be greater than we currently anticipate, or should we change our current business plan in
a manner that increases or accelerates our anticipated costs and expenses, we may require additional liquidity earlier than expected. Until and unless we can
generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, out-licensing
arrangements, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or through a combination of the foregoing. We cannot
provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain additional liquidity on terms favorable to us or our current stockholders, or at all. Our liquidity and our
ability to fund our capital requirements going forward are dependent, in part, on market and economic factors that are beyond our control. The Company
may never achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional capital.
As of December 31, 2022, we have approximately $128.8 million remaining to be sold pursuant to the April 2019 ATM Agreement, subject to the
availability of authorized shares.
On September 21, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company and its subsidiaries,
Allos Therapeutics, Inc., Talon Therapeutics, Inc., and Spectrum Pharmaceuticals International Holdings, LLC, as borrowers, SLR Investment Corp. as
administrative agent and the lenders party thereto that provides for a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$65.0 million available to us in four tranches (collectively, the “Term Loans”). As of December 31, 2022, we had drawn a total of $30.0 million of the Term
Loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement, with a remaining undrawn principal balance of $25.0 million, which is available through November 15, 2023 and is
subject to the achievement of certain milestone events. As we did not satisfy the Term B Loan Funding Condition, we will be unable to draw the Term B
Loan of $10 million (as those terms are defined in the Loan Agreement). Refer to Note 5 of our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that provide financing, liquidity, market or credit risk support, or involve derivatives. In addition, we
have no arrangements that may expose us to liability that are not expressly reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and/or notes
thereto.

Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities is derived by adjusting net earnings for interest and amortization, non-cash operating items, gains and losses
attributed to investing and working capital in the ordinary course of business.
Net cash used in operating activities was $97.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $119.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities of $22.5 million was primarily due to a decrease in our net loss of $83.2 million,
offset by the decreases in changes in operating assets and liabilities of $37.8 million and non-cash charges of $22.9 million.
Investing Activities
Cash flow from investing activities includes cash used for the purchases of marketable securities and proceeds from the maturity of investments and
sale of equity holdings.
Net cash used in investing activities was $26.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $108.7 million provided by investing
activities for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change of $135.4 million is primarily attributed to a decrease in the proceeds from maturities and
sales of investments of $117.7 million and an increase in the purchase of investments of $17.7 million.
Financing Activities
Cash flow from financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of common shares, the proceeds from the issuance of debt, net of debt
acquisitions costs and from the sale of stock under our employee stock purchase plan.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $75.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $53.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021. The increase of $22.3 million primarily relates to $28.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of debt, net of acquisition costs, $20
million in proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock to Hanmi, offset by a decrease in the sale of common stock under an at-the-market sales
agreement of $26.1 million.
Sale of Common Stock Under ATM Agreements
On April 5, 2019, we entered into a new collective at-market-issuance (“ATM”) sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., H.C. Wainwright &
Co., LLC and B. Riley FBR, Inc. (the “April 2019 ATM Agreement”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock by any method
deemed to be an “at the market” offering (the “ATM Offering”). From April 5, 2019 to March 2, 2020, the ATM Offering was conducted pursuant to a sales
agreement prospectus filed with our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, filed with the SEC on April 5, 2019, which registered an
aggregate offering price of $150 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement. From May 8, 2020 to June 30, 2020, the ATM Offering was conducted
pursuant to a sales agreement prospectus (the “Initial Sales Agreement Prospectus”) filed with our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the
SEC on March 20, 2020, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto, and declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2020 (the “Registration
Statement”), which registered an aggregate offering price of up to $75 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement. On July 29, 2020, we terminated the
Initial Sales Agreement Prospectus, but left the April 2019 ATM Agreement in full force and effect. On November 6, 2020, we filed a new sales agreement
prospectus to the Registration Statement, which registered an aggregate offering price of up to $60 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement.

Table of Contents
On July 13, 2021, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 21, 2021 (the
“Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered an aggregate offering price of up to $300 million of securities that may be issued and sold
by us from time to time, including up to an aggregate offering price of $150 million of common stock (which amount is included in the $300 million
aggregate offering price set forth in the base prospectus) that may be issued and sold pursuant to the April 2019 ATM Agreement. As of December 31,
2022, there was approximately $128.8 million remaining to be sold pursuant to the April 2019 ATM Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make informed estimates and assumptions that affect
our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These amounts may materially differ from the amounts ultimately realized and reported
due to the inherent uncertainty of any estimate or assumption. On an on-going basis, our management evaluates (as applicable) its most critical estimates
and assumptions, including those described below:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize ROLVEDON revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from contracts with customers.
Our revenue recognition analysis consists of the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the
promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are capable of being distinct; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the
constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue as we satisfy
each performance obligation.
ROLVEDON became available for commercial sale and shipment to patients with a prescription in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2022. We sell our
products to pharmaceutical wholesalers/distributors (i.e., our customers) who in turn sell our products directly to clinics, hospitals, and federal healthcare
programs. Revenue from our product sales is recognized as physical delivery of product occurs (when our customer obtains control of the product), in
return for agreed-upon consideration.
The transaction price that we recognize for ROLVEDON revenue is our gross product sales reduced by our corresponding gross-to-net (“GTN”)
estimates using the expected value method, resulting in our reported “net sales” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net sales
reflects the amount we ultimately expect to realize in net cash proceeds, taking into account our current period gross sales and related cash receipts, and the
subsequent cash disbursements on these sales that we estimate for the various GTN categories discussed below. These estimates are based upon information
received from external sources (such as written or oral information obtained from our customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and sales
to end-users during the period), in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual
amount incurred (of some, or all) of product returns, government chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, commercial rebates, Medicaid rebates, and
distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees may be above or below the amount estimated, then requiring prospective adjustments to our reported net
sales.
These GTN estimate categories (that comprise our GTN liabilities) are each discussed below:
Product Returns Allowances: Our customers are contractually permitted to return certain purchased products within the contractual allowable time
before/after the applicable expiration date. Returns outside of this aforementioned criteria are not customarily allowed. We estimate expected product
returns using our expected return rates. Returned product is typically destroyed since substantially all are due to imminent expiry and cannot be resold.
Government Chargebacks: Our products are subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs (e.g., Medicare and 340B Drug
Pricing Program). Qualifying entities (i.e., end-users) purchase products from our customers at their qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount
we incur represents the difference between our contractual sales price to our customer, and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price under the
government program. There may be significant
66

Table of Contents
lag time between our reported net product sales and our receipt of the corresponding government chargeback claims from our customers.
Prompt Pay Discounts: Discounts for prompt payment are estimated at the time of sale, based on our eligible customers’ prompt payment history
and the contractual discount percentage.
Commercial Rebates: Commercial rebates are based on (i) our estimates of end-user purchases through a GPO, (ii) the corresponding contractual
rebate percentage tier we expect each GPO to achieve, and (iii) our estimates of the impact of any prospective rebate program changes made by us.
Medicaid Rebates: Our products are subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state
governments. These rebates arise when a patient treated with our product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for our product under
the applicable Medicaid program. Our Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require us to project the magnitude of our sales, by state, that will be subject to
these rebates. There is a significant time lag in our receiving rebate notices from each state (generally several months or longer after our sale is recognized).
Our estimates are based on our historical claim levels by state, as supplemented by management’s judgment.
Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of
our products for various commercial services including: contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product
returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually-determined percentage of our applicable sales.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for equity awards granted to our employees and members of our Board of Directors is recognized on a straight-
line basis over each award’s vesting period. Recognized compensation expense is net of an estimated forfeiture rate, representing the percentage of awards
that are expected to be forfeited prior to vesting, and is ultimately adjusted for actual forfeitures. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
determine the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights (as of the date of grant) that have service conditions for vesting.
The recognition of stock-based compensation expense and the initial calculation of stock option fair value requires certain assumptions, including (a)
the pre-vesting forfeiture rate of the award, (b) the expected term that the stock option will remain outstanding, (c) our stock price volatility over the
expected term (and that of our designated peer group with respect to certain market-based awards), (d) zero dividend yield, and (e) the prevailing risk-free
interest rate for the period matching the expected term.
With regard to (a)-(e) above: we estimate forfeiture rates based on our employees’ overall forfeiture history, which we believe will be representative
of future results. We estimate the expected term of stock options granted based on our employees’ historical exercise patterns, which we believe will be
representative of their future behavior. We estimate the volatility of our common stock on the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common
stock for a look-back period that corresponds with the expected term. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based upon the U.S. Department of the
Treasury yields in effect at award grant, for a period equaling the expected term of the stock option and we estimate a zero dividend yield.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual amounts incurred may be above or below the amount estimated, then requiring
prospective adjustments to our stock-based compensation expense.
Research and Development Costs
Our research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and other staff-
related costs including associated stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, costs related to
manufacturing preparations, fees paid to other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on our behalf and payments made pursuant
to license agreements. Clinical trial and other development costs incurred by third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. We accrue for
costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of activities and the invoices received from its external service providers. We
adjust our accruals as actual costs become known. Where contingent milestone payments are due to third parties under research and development or license
agreements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the clinical or regulatory milestone results are achieved.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and
the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required
to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our
especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on
the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Gross-to Net-Adjustments to Rolvedon Revenue
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, revenue from product sales is recorded net of adjustments for estimated product returns allowance,
government chargebacks, Medicaid rebates, commercial rebates, distribution, data and Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) fees, and other deductions.
In particular, management estimates (1) product returns allowance at each reporting period for products that customers are contractually permitted to return
during a contractual allowable period, and (2) rebates based on management estimates of end-user purchase through GPO and corresponding expected
contractual rebate percentage tier. Provisions for these adjustments are recorded in the period in which the related revenue is recorded and are presented
either as a reduction of accounts receivable or as an accrued liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2022, the Company
has recorded a reduction of accounts receivable of $1.3 million and accrued liabilities of $3.1 million relating to gross-to-net adjustments to revenue.
We identified the estimates for gross-to-net (GTN) adjustments to revenue as a critical audit matter, specifically product returns allowance and rebates, due
to the judgmental nature of the assumptions used by management in preparing the estimates. In particular management is required to estimate the product
returns allowance for products that are contractually within the allowable return period, and the amount of rebate adjustments that would be applied to
products that remain in the distribution channel at December 31, 2022, The Company has a limited history upon which to base such estimates, and changes
in the estimated payor and channel mix can have a material effect on the amount of estimates recorded. Auditing management’s assumptions such as the
product returns allowance rate and discount percentages used in the rebate amounts was complex and required a high degree of auditor judgment and
subjectivity when performing audit procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s returns reserve allowance and rebate adjustment to revenue included the following, among others:
•
We tested the completeness and accuracy of the report used in calculating rebates by tracing products sold to the underlying revenue details
F-2

Table of Contents
•
On a sample basis, we traced discount percentages used to calculate the GTN adjustments to related customer and GPO contracts
•
We evaluated the reasonableness of the product return allowance by comparing the product returns allowance rate used by management to
available industry data and trends
•
We evaluated the reasonableness of product returns allowance by reviewing actual product returns subsequent to the balance sheet date to
determine consistency with management expectation

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND OPERATING SEGMENT
(a) Description of Business
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company, with a
strategy of acquiring, developing, and commercializing novel and targeted oncology therapies. We have an in-house clinical development organization with
regulatory and data management capabilities, in addition to commercial infrastructure and a field based sales force for our marketed product,
ROLVEDON™ (formerly known as eflapegrastim).
We have one commercial asset and one drug candidate in late-stage development:
•
ROLVEDON™ is a novel long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (“G-CSF”) for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.
On April 11, 2022, we announced that we had received notice that the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for ROLVEDON had been accepted
for filing and received a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) date of September 9, 2022. On September 9, 2022, we received the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) marketing approval for ROLVEDON and began commercialization activities in the fourth quarter of
2022; and
•
Poziotinib is a novel irreversible TKI under investigation for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) tumors with various mutations. On December
6, 2021, we announced we submitted our New Drug Application (“NDA”) for poziotinib to the FDA for use in patients with previously treated
locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. The NDA submission is based on the positive results of Cohort 2
from the ZENITH20 clinical trial, which assessed the safety and efficacy of poziotinib. The product candidate received fast track designation from
the FDA and there is currently no treatment specifically approved by the FDA for this indication. On February 11, 2022, we announced that we
received notice from the FDA that the NDA was accepted for filing and received a PDUFA action date of November 24, 2022. On September 22,
2022, we met with the FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (“ODAC”). The ODAC voted 9 (no) - 4 (yes) that the current benefits of
poziotinib did not outweigh its risks for the treatment of patients with NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. On November 25, 2022,
we announced that we had received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA regarding our NDA. The CRL stated that the FDA
determined that it could not approve the NDA in its present form and provided recommendations needed for resubmission, including generating
additional data from a randomized controlled study prior to approval. We are continuing to evaluate these recommendations but we have de-
prioritized further poziotinib development activities.
Our business strategy is the development of late-stage assets through commercialization and the sourcing of additional assets that are synergistic with
our existing portfolio (through purchase acquisitions, in-licensing transactions, or co-development and marketing arrangements).
(b) Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include the
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Spectrum and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All inter-company accounts and
transactions among these legal entities have been eliminated in consolidation. Substantially all of the accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised
of foreign currency translation adjustments at December 31, 2022. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Foreign Currency Translation
Operations in non-U.S. entities are recorded in the functional currency of each entity. For financial reporting purposes, the functional currency of an
entity is determined by a review of the source of an entity's most predominant cash flows. The results of operations for any non-U.S. dollar functional
currency entities are translated from functional currencies into U.S. dollars using the average currency rate during each month. Assets and liabilities are
translated using currency rates at the end of the period. Adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of our foreign entities that use their
local currency as the functional currency into U.S. dollars are reflected as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses
are recorded in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
Discontinued Operations - Sale of our Commercial Product Portfolio
In March 2019, we completed the sale of our Commercial Product Portfolio (as defined below in Note 10) to Acrotech Biopharma LLC (“Acrotech”)
(the “Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction”). In accordance with applicable GAAP (Accounting Standards Codification, “ASC”, 205-20,
Presentation of Financial Statements), the revenue-deriving activities and allocable expenses of our sold commercial operations, connected to the
Commercial Product Portfolio, are separately classified as “discontinued” for all periods presented within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to incur future net losses as we continue to fund the advancement and commercialization of our product and product candidates. Based
upon our current projections, including our intention to continue to place a disciplined focus on streamlining our business operations, we believe that our
$75.1 million in aggregate cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2022 will be sufficient to fund our current and planned
operations for at least the next twelve months from the date this Annual Report is filed with the SEC. However, should our net sales prove to be less than
we currently anticipate, or our costs and expenses prove to be greater than we currently anticipate, or should we change our current business plan in a
manner that increases or accelerates our anticipated costs and expenses, we may require additional liquidity earlier than expected. Until and unless we can
generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, out-licensing
arrangements, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or through a combination of the foregoing. We cannot
provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain additional liquidity on terms favorable to us or our current stockholders, or at all. Our liquidity and our
ability to fund our capital requirements going forward are dependent, in part, on market and economic factors that are beyond our control. The Company
may never achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional capital.
As of December 31, 2022, we have approximately $128.8 million remaining to be sold pursuant to the April 2019 ATM Agreement, subject to the
availability of authorized shares.
On September 21, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, Allos
Therapeutics, Inc., Talon Therapeutics, Inc., and Spectrum Pharmaceuticals International Holdings, LLC, as borrowers (together with the Company, the
“Borrowers”), SLR Investment Corp. (“SLR”), as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) that provides for a five-
year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $65.0 million available to us in four tranches (collectively, the “Term
Loans”). As of December 31, 2022, we had drawn a total of $30.0 million of the Term Loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement, with a remaining undrawn
principal balance of $25.0 million, which is available through November 15, 2023 and is subject to the achievement of certain milestone events. As we did
not satisfy the Term B Loan Funding Condition we will be unable to draw the Term B Loan of $10.0 million (as those terms are defined in the Loan
Agreement). Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
(c) Operating Segment
We operate one reportable operating segment that is focused exclusively on developing and marketing oncology and hematology drug products. For
the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, all of our operating costs and expenses were solely attributable to these activities (and as applicable,
classified as “discontinued” within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations).
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make informed estimates and assumptions that affect
our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These amounts may materially differ from the amounts ultimately realized and reported
due to the inherent uncertainty of any estimate or assumption. On an on-going basis, our management evaluates (as applicable) its most critical estimates
and assumptions, including those described below:
(i) Revenue Recognition
We recognize ROLVEDON revenue in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from contracts with customers. Our revenue recognition analysis
consists of the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance

ROLVEDON became available for commercial sale and shipment to patients with a prescription in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2022. We sell our
products to pharmaceutical wholesalers/distributors (i.e., our customers) who in turn sell our products directly to clinics, hospitals, and federal healthcare
programs. Revenue from our product sales is recognized as physical delivery of product occurs (when our customer obtains control of the product), in
return for agreed-upon consideration.
The transaction price that we recognize for ROLVEDON revenue is our gross product sales reduced by our corresponding gross-to-net (“GTN”)
estimates using the expected value method, resulting in our reported “net sales” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net sales
reflects the amount we ultimately expect to realize in net cash proceeds, taking into account our current period gross sales and related cash receipts, and the
subsequent cash disbursements on these sales that we estimate for the various GTN categories discussed below. These estimates are based upon information
received from external sources (such as written or oral information obtained from our customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and sales
to end-users during the period), in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual
amount incurred (of some, or all) of product returns, government chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, commercial rebates, Medicaid rebates, and
distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees may be above or below the amount estimated, then requiring prospective adjustments to our reported net
sales.
These GTN estimate categories (that comprise our GTN liabilities) are each discussed below:
Product Returns Allowances: Our customers are contractually permitted to return certain purchased products within the contractual allowable time
before/after the applicable expiration date. Returns outside of this aforementioned criteria are not customarily allowed. We estimate expected product
returns using our expected return rates. Returned product is typically destroyed since substantially all are due to imminent expiry and cannot be resold.
Government Chargebacks: Our product is subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, and 340B
Drug Pricing Program). Qualifying entities (i.e., end-users) purchase products from our customers at their qualifying discounted price. The chargeback
amount we incur represents the difference between our contractual sales price to our customer, and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price
under the government program. There may be significant lag time between our reported net product sales and our receipt of the corresponding government
chargeback claims from our customers.
Prompt Pay Discounts: Discounts for prompt payment are estimated at the time of sale, based on our eligible customers’ prompt payment history
and the contractual discount percentage.
Commercial Rebates: Commercial rebates are based on (i) our estimates of end-user purchases through a GPO, (ii) the corresponding contractual
rebate percentage tier we expect each GPO to achieve, and (iii) our estimates of the impact of any prospective rebate program changes made by us.
Medicaid Rebates: Our product is subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state
governments. These rebates arise when a patient treated with our product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for our product under
the applicable Medicaid program. Our Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require us to project the magnitude of our sales, by state, that will be subject to
these rebates. There is a significant time lag in our receiving rebate notices from each state (generally several months or longer after our sale is recognized).
Our estimates are based on our historical claim levels of similar products by state, as supplemented by management’s judgment.
Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of
our products for various commercial services including: contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product
returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually-determined percentage of our applicable sales.
(ii) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the purchase date.
F-11

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(iii) Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist of our holdings in equity securities (including mutual funds), bank CDs, government-related debt securities, and
corporate debt securities. For equity securities and mutual funds, any realized or unrealized gains (losses) are recognized in “other income (expense), net”
within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Debt securities and bank CDs are classified as “available-for-sale” investments and (1) realized gains
(losses) are recognized in “other income (expense), net” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and (2) unrealized gains (losses) are recognized
as a component of “accumulated other comprehensive loss” within the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
(iv) Accounts Receivable, net
In general, accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers, net of customer allowances for cash discounts, product returns and
chargebacks. As of December 31, 2022, these allowances amounted to $1.3 million. Our contracts with customers have standard payment terms. As of
December 31, 2022, the majority of our sales were to the top three wholesalers. We analyze accounts that are past due for collectability, and regularly
evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers so that we can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profiles. As of December 31, 2022, we
determined an allowance for expected credit losses related to outstanding accounts receivable was currently not required based upon our review of
contractual payment terms and individual customer circumstances.
(v) Inventory
We value our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. We regularly review our
inventory quantities and when appropriate record a provision for obsolete and excess inventory to derive its new cost basis, which takes into account our
sales forecast and corresponding expiry dates. We have not recognized a provision for obsolete and excess inventory as of December 31, 2022.
We received FDA approval for ROLVEDON on September 9, 2022, and on that date began capitalizing inventory purchases of saleable product from
certain suppliers. Prior to FDA approval, all saleable product purchased from such suppliers were included as a component of research and development
expense, as we were unable to assert that the inventory had future economic benefit until we had received FDA approval. Prior to FDA approval, costs
estimated at approximately $5.7 million for commercially saleable product and materials were incurred and included in research and development
expenses. If we were to have included those costs previously expensed as a component of cost of sales, our cost of sales for the year ended December 31,
2022 would have been $3.0 million. As a result, cost of sales related to ROLVEDON will initially reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials over the
next approximately nine months as previously expensed inventory is utilized for commercial production and sold to customers.
(vi) Property and Equipment, Net
Our property and equipment, net, is stated at historical cost, and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life that corresponds
with its designated asset category. We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets (which includes property and equipment) whenever events or changes
in circumstances in our business indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. An impairment loss would be recorded for the excess of net
carrying value over the fair value of the asset impaired. The fair value is estimated based on expected discounted future cash flows or other methods such
as orderly liquidation value based on assumptions of asset class and observed market data.
(vii) Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes the cost of the inventory sold, which includes direct manufacturing, production and packaging materials, shipping expenses,
and royalty fees owed to our licensing partner for ROLVEDON sales. Prior to FDA approval in September 2022, we expensed approximately $5.7 million
in costs associated with the manufacturing of ROLVEDON as a component of research and development expense. Therefore these costs are not included in
cost of sales.
(viii) Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for equity awards granted to our employees and members of our Board of Directors is recognized on a straight-
line basis over each award’s vesting period. Recognized compensation expense is net of an estimated forfeiture rate, representing the percentage of awards
that are expected to be forfeited prior to vesting, and is ultimately adjusted
F-12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
for actual forfeitures. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights (as of the
date of grant) that have service conditions for vesting.
The recognition of stock-based compensation expense and the initial calculation of stock option fair value requires certain assumptions, including (a)
the pre-vesting forfeiture rate of the award, (b) the expected term that the stock option will remain outstanding, (c) our stock price volatility over the
expected term (and that of our designated peer group with respect to certain market-based awards), (d) zero dividend yield, and (e) the prevailing risk-free
interest rate for the period matching the expected term.
With regard to (a)-(e) above: we estimate forfeiture rates based on our employees’ overall forfeiture history, which we believe will be representative
of future results. We estimate the expected term of stock options granted based on our employees’ historical exercise patterns, which we believe will be
representative of their future behavior. We estimate the volatility of our common stock on the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common
stock for a look-back period that corresponds with the expected term. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based upon the U.S. Department of the
Treasury yields in effect at award grant, for a period equaling the expected term of the stock option and we estimate a zero dividend yield.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual amounts incurred may be above or below the amount estimated, then requiring
prospective adjustments to our stock-based compensation expense.
(ix) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
We calculate basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. In
periods of a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share is the same. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding to include only stock options, warrants, and other common stock equivalents outstanding during the period to the extent that
they are dilutive.
There were 22.3 million shares and 13.5 million shares of outstanding securities (including stock options, restricted stock units, unvested restricted
stock awards, stock appreciation rights, warrants and performance awards) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, that were excluded from the
calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
(x) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and
liabilities and amounts reported in the financial statements, as well as operating losses and tax credit carry forwards using enacted tax rates and laws that
are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing
and amount of which are uncertain.
Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of nondeductible expenses and the impact of a valuation
allowance on our deferred tax assets, which we record because we believe that, based upon a weighting of positive and negative factors, it is more likely
than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. If/when we were to determine that our deferred tax assets are realizable, an adjustment to the
corresponding valuation allowance would increase our net income or reduce our net loss in the period that such determination was made.
In the event that we are assessed interest and/or penalties from taxing authorities that have not been previously accrued, such amounts would be
included in “provision for income taxes from continuing operations” within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period in
which we received the notice.
(xi) Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and other staff-
related costs including associated stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, costs related to
manufacturing preparations, fees paid to other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on our behalf and payments made pursuant
to license agreements. Clinical trial and other development costs incurred by third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. We accrue for
costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of activities and the invoices received from our external service providers. We
adjust our accruals as actual costs become known. Where contingent milestone payments are due to third parties under research and development or license
agreements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed in the earliest period that we determine the respective milestone achievement is probable or
has occurred.

(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(xii) Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Term Loan is classified on the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying
amount of the related debt liability. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations using
the effective interest rate method over the term of the debt agreement. Refer to Note 5 for additional information on the Term Loan.
(xiii) Fair Value Measurements
We determine measurement-date fair value based on the proceeds that would be received through the sale of the asset, or that we would pay to settle
or transfer the liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
used to measure fair value. These tiers include the following:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are publicly accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but that are corroborated by market data. These inputs may include
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted market prices in markets that are not active to the general public.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
(xiv) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale
Restrictions. This standard clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity
security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. This standard becomes effective for us on January 1, 2024, and is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
There are several other new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which we do not believe
had or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Included within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the amount is based on the stated cash surrender value of life insurance policies of named current and former employees at
each period-end.
Included $2.0 million within accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and $9.2 million within other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and other accrued
liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature of settlement. In addition, at December 31, 2022, the Company believed the carrying
value of debt approximates fair value as the interest rates were reflective of the rate the Company could obtain on debt with similar terms and conditions.
NOTE 4. BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT DETAIL
The composition of selected financial statement captions that comprise the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are summarized below:
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
We maintain cash balances with select major financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and other third parties
insure a fraction of these deposits. Accordingly, these cash deposits are not insured against the possibility of a substantial or complete loss of principal and
are inherently subject to the credit risk of the corresponding financial institution.
Our investment policy requires that purchased investments may only be in highly-rated and liquid financial instruments and limits our holdings of
any single issuer (excluding any debt or equity securities that may be received from our strategic partners in connection with an out-license arrangement).
The carrying amount of our equity securities and money market funds approximate their fair value (utilizing “Level 1” or “Level 2” inputs) because
of our ability to immediately convert these instruments into cash with minimal expected change in value. There were no material unrealized losses on our
investment securities at December 31, 2022 or 2021.

NOTE 5. LOAN PAYABLE
On September 21, 2022, we entered into the Loan Agreement that provides for a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal
amount of up to $65.0 million, available to us in four tranches. Upon entering into the Loan Agreement in September 2022, we borrowed $30.0 million in
term loans (the “Term A Loan”). As we did not satisfy the Term B Loan Funding Condition, we will be unable to draw the Term B Loan of $10.0 million
(as those terms are defined in the Loan Agreement). As of December 31, 2022, we may borrow up to an additional $25.0 million in term loans subject to us
achieving the following milestones:
a.
Through May 15, 2023, $15.0 million (the “Term C Loan”) if we provide satisfactory evidence that we have achieved a minimum of $15.7 million
in Net Product Revenue (as defined in the Loan Agreement) calculated on a trailing six (6) month basis for any measuring period ending on or
prior to March 31, 2023; and
b.
Through November 15, 2023, $10.0 million (the “Term D Loan”) if we provide satisfactory evidence that we have achieved a minimum of
$40.0 million in Net Product Revenue calculated on a trailing six (6) month basis for any measuring period ending on or prior to September 30,
2023.
The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default and representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including
financial covenants requiring the Company to (i) maintain certain levels of cash in accounts subject to a control agreement in favor of the Agent of at least
$25.0 million at all times commencing from September 21, 2022 and ending on the later of (A) July 31, 2023 and (B) the date Company either (1) receives,
on or after September 13, 2022, at least $40.0 million in net cash proceeds from equity raises and/or business development or collaboration agreements or
(2) (x) receives, on or after September 13, 2022, at least $30.0 million in net cash proceeds from equity raises and/or business development or collaboration
agreements and (y) achieves at least $25.8 million in trailing 6-month net revenue from the sale of any products (on or prior to the period ending July 31,
2023) and (ii) maintain, commencing March 31, 2023, on a monthly basis until the end of 2023, and on a quarterly basis thereafter, either (A) net revenue
from the sale of any products of at least $100 million on a trailing 12-month basis, or (B) net revenue from the sale of any products of an amount set forth
in the Loan Agreement, on a trailing 6-month basis.
The Term Loans are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a pledge
of substantially all of our assets and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors.
The Term Loans bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the 1-Month CME Term SOFR (subject to a 2.3% floor) plus 5.7%. Interest-only
payments are due beginning on November 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025, and the interest-only period may be extended to September 30, 2026
(“Principal Extension”) provided the Company and its subsidiaries have achieved a minimum of $40.0 million in net product revenue on a trailing six-
month basis for any measuring period ending on or prior to September 30, 2023. We are also required to make monthly principal payments beginning on
October 1, 2025 in an amount equal to 1/24th of the aggregate amount of the Term Loans outstanding if the Principal Extension is not executed, or,
beginning on October 1, 2026, 1/12th of the aggregate amount of the Term Loans outstanding if the Principal Extension is executed. On the maturity date
of September 1, 2027, we are required to pay in full all outstanding Term Loans and other amounts owed under the Loan Agreement.
F-17

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
At the time of borrowing any tranche of the Term Loans, we are required to pay an upfront fee of 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount borrowed
at that time. We may prepay all of the Term Loans, and are required to make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans upon the occurrence of a
bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law). All mandatory and voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans are
subject to prepayment premiums equal to (i) 3% of the principal prepaid if prepayment occurs on or before September 21, 2023, (ii) 2% of the principal
prepaid if prepayment occurs after September 21, 2023 but on or before September 21, 2024, or (iii) 1% of the principal prepaid if prepayment occurs after
September 21, 2024.
We will pay facility fees and success fees upon borrowing the future tranches as follows:
a.
Facility fee of $0.2 million and success fee of 0.75% of the principal of the Term C Loans, and
b.
Facility fee of $0.1 million and success fee of 0.75% of the principal of the Term D Loans.
In addition, we are required to pay an exit fee in an amount equal to 4.75% of all principal repaid, whether as a mandatory prepayment, voluntary
prepayment, or a scheduled repayment. In connection with the Loan Agreement, we granted warrants (“Warrants”) to the Lenders to purchase up to
454,545 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.66 per share, which had a fair market value at time of issuance of $0.2 million. The number
of shares and exercise price are subject to anti-dilution adjustments for splits, dividends, capital reorganizations, reclassifications and similar transactions.
Upon borrowing the future tranches, we will issue warrants to the Lenders to purchase an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to 1.0% of
the Term Loan amount funded divided by the applicable Exercise Price (as defined below). The Exercise Price is defined as the lesser of (a) the 10-day
trailing average of the Company’s closing common stock price ending on the trading day immediately prior to the funding date of the applicable Term Loan
and (b) the Company’s closing common stock price on the trading day immediately prior to the funding date of the applicable Term Loan. The Warrants are
immediately exercisable, and the exercise period will expire 10 years from the date of issuance. During our evaluation of equity classification for the
Warrants, we considered the conditions as prescribed within ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in an Entity’s own Equity. The Warrants do
not fall under the liability criteria within ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as they are not puttable and do not represent an instrument that
has a redeemable underlying security. The Warrants do meet the definition of a derivative instrument under ASC 815, but are eligible for the scope
exception as they are indexed to our common stock and would be classified in permanent equity if freestanding.
The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default that entitle SLR to accelerate the repayment of the Term Loans, and to exercise remedies
against the Borrowers and the collateral securing the Term Loans. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of an event of default, an additional default
interest rate of 4.0% will apply to all obligations owed under the Loan Agreement.
In September 2022, we borrowed $30.0 million upon the signing of the Loan Agreement and incurred debt issuance costs of $3.0 million, including
the exit fee of $1.4 million, that are classified as contra-liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and are being recognized as interest expense over the
term of the loan using the effective interest method. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized interest expense related to the Term Loans
of approximately $0.9 million, approximately $0.2 million of which was noncash expense.

NOTE 6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan
We have one active stockholder-approved stock-based compensation plan, the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). In June 2018, the
2018 Plan replaced our former 2009 Incentive Award Plan (the “2009 Plan”). Under the 2018 Plan, we may grant restricted stock awards and units,
incentive and nonqualified stock options, performance unit awards, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards to employees, consultants, and
members of our Board of Directors. On June 21, 2022, our shareholders approved an additional 18.0 million shares to be reserved for issuance under the
2018 Plan.
Stock-based awards generally vest one-third on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and in equal annual installments thereafter over the
remaining two years vesting period. Stock options must generally be exercised, if at all, no later than 10 years from the date of grant.
In the event of a change in control, all award types with the exception of performance unit awards granted prior to January 2023, will vest in full
effective immediately prior to the consummation of the change in control. All awards issued after January 2023, unless otherwise expressly defined in
executive employment agreements, shall vest at the sole discretion of the compensation committee upon a change in control. For performance unit awards,
if a change in control occurs prior to the end date and the participant remains employed prior to the change in control, the shares vest based on the
achievement of the performance goals as of the date of which the change in control occurs.
The stated maximum availability of common stock under the 2018 Plan is approximately 39 million shares, except for additional availability provided
on a one-for-one basis for awards formerly issued under the 2009 Plan that are terminated, forfeited, cancelled or expire unexercised. Awards issued under
the 2018 Plan reduce share availability on a one-to-one basis for stock options and on a 1.5-to-one basis for restricted stock awards and restricted stock
units. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2022, 14.8 million awards were available for grant under the 2018 Plan, assuming all were issued in the form of
stock options, but would be reduced to 9.9 million awards available for grant if all were issued in the form of restricted stock.
It is our policy that before stock is issued through the exercise of stock options, we must first receive all required cash payment for such shares
(whether through an upfront cash exercise or net-settlement exercise). At the time of vesting of restricted stock, by our policy, requisite shares are
automatically sold on the open market by our designated broker to the extent required to cover the employee’s federal and state taxes due.
Stock-based awards are governed by agreements between us and the recipients. Incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be
granted under the 2018 Plan at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the respective date of grant and for
certain recipients may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The grant date is generally the date the terms of the award are approved by the
Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), or, in the case of certain awards, issued by the Chief Executive
Officer to employees, pursuant to the authority granted to the CEO by the Compensation Committee.
2022 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan
On October 19, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the Company’s 2022 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan (the “Inducement
Plan”), which authorizes the Company to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to Option, Stock Appreciation Right,
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Dividend Equivalent, and Other Stock Based Awards under the Inducement Plan (each term as defined in the
Inducement Plan). The Inducement Plan is used exclusively for the grant of equity awards to individuals who were not previously employees of Spectrum,
or following a bona

(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to such individuals’ entering into employment with Spectrum, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule
5635(c)(4). The Company has registered the Inducement Shares with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. As of December 31, 2022, 4.1 million
shares remain available for issuance under the Inducement Plan.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the terms of our 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), eligible employees can purchase common stock through scheduled payroll
deductions. The purchase price is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the first or last day of the offering period (whichever is less), minus a
15% discount. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, in combination with the discounted employee price, in determining the value of ESPP
expense to be recognized during each offering period. A participant may purchase a maximum of 50,000 shares of common stock during a six-month
offering period, not to exceed $25,000 at full market value on the offering date during each plan year.
As of December 31, 2022, a total of 7.5 million shares of common stock are authorized and remain available for issuance under the ESPP. Beginning
on January 1, 2010, and each January 1st thereafter, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP shall automatically
increase by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one million shares or (ii) an amount determined by the ESPP administrator. However, in no event shall the
number of shares of common stock available for future sale under the ESPP exceed 10 million shares, subject to capitalization adjustments occurring due to
dividends, splits, dissolution, liquidation, mergers, or changes in control.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense Summary
We report our stock-based compensation expense (inclusive of our incentive stock plan and employee stock purchase plan) in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations within “total operating costs and expenses” for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as follows:

Employee stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was recognized (reduced for estimated forfeitures) on
a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and are prospectively revised if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates. We estimate forfeitures of stock options using the historical exercise behavior of our employees. For purposes of this estimate, we have applied
an estimated forfeiture rate of 10% and 11% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Valuation Assumptions
The grant-date fair value per share for restricted stock awards was based upon the closing market price of our common stock on the award grant-date.
The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions
were used to determine fair value for the stock awards granted in the applicable year:

Sale of Common Stock Under ATM Agreements
On April 5, 2019, we entered into a new collective at-market-issuance (“ATM”) sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., H.C. Wainwright &
Co., LLC and B. Riley FBR, Inc. (the “April 2019 ATM Agreement”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock by any method
deemed to be an “at the market” offering (the “ATM Offering”). From April 5, 2019 to March 2, 2020, the ATM Offering was conducted pursuant to a sales
agreement prospectus filed with our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, filed with the SEC on April 5, 2019, which registered an
aggregate offering price of $150 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement. From May 8, 2020 to June 30, 2020, the ATM Offering was conducted
pursuant to a sales agreement prospectus (the “Initial Sales Agreement Prospectus”) filed with our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the
SEC on March 20, 2020, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto, and declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2020 (the “Registration
Statement”), which registered an aggregate offering price of up to $75 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement. On July 29, 2020, we terminated the
Initial Sales Agreement Prospectus, but left the April 2019 ATM Agreement in full force and effect. On November 6, 2020, we filed a new sales agreement
prospectus to the Registration Statement, which registered an aggregate offering price of up to $60 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement.
On July 13, 2021, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 21, 2021 (the
“Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered an aggregate offering price of up to $300 million of securities that may be issued and sold
by us from time to time, including up to an aggregate offering price of $150 million of common stock (which amount is included in the $300 million
aggregate offering price set forth in the base prospectus) that may be issued and sold pursuant to the April 2019 ATM Agreement. The Registration
Statement is effective until July 2024. As of December 31, 2022, there was approximately $128.8 million remaining to be sold pursuant to the April 2019
ATM Agreement, subject to the availability of authorized shares.
We sold and issued common shares under the April 2019 ATM Agreement as follows:

Investment from Hanmi
During January 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Hanmi, pursuant to which Hanmi purchased 12,500,000 shares of our
common shares at a purchase price of $1.60 per share, for an aggregate purchase price equal to $20 million, making them a related party.

(a) Facility and Equipment Leases
Overview
In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into leases with unaffiliated parties for the use of (i) office and research facilities and (ii) office
equipment. Our current leases have remaining terms ranging from two to four years and none include any residual value guarantees, restrictive covenants,
term extensions, or early-termination options.
We lease our principal executive office in Boston, Massachusetts under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring December 31, 2024. We also lease
our administrative office in Irvine, California under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring July 31, 2025. We also leased an office facility in Henderson,
Nevada under a non-cancelable operating lease which expired on October 31, 2022.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
Our facility leases have minimum annual rents, payable monthly, and some carry fixed annual rent increases. Under some of these arrangements, real
estate taxes, insurance, certain operating expenses, and common area maintenance are reimbursable to the lessor. These amounts are expensed as incurred,
as they are variable in nature and therefore excluded from the measurement of our reported lease asset and liability discussed below. As of December 31,
2022 and 2021, we had no sublease arrangements with us as lessor, and no finance leases, as defined in ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”).
The reported asset and liability, respectively, represents (i) the economic benefit of our use of leased facilities and equipment and (ii) the present-
value of our contractual minimum lease payments, applying our estimated incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date (since an implicit
interest rate is not readily determinable in any of our leases). The recorded asset and liability associated with each lease is amortized over the respective
lease term using the effective interest rate method. During the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0.4 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, of additional right-of-use assets in exchange for lease liabilities.
We elected to not separate “lease components” from “non-lease components” in our measurement of minimum payments for our facility leases and
office equipment leases. Additionally, we elected to not recognize a lease asset and liability for a term of 12 months or less.

(b) In/Out Licensing Agreements and Co-Development Arrangements
Overview
The in-license agreements for our development-stage drug products provide us with territory-specific rights to their manufacture and distribution
(including further sub-licensing/out-licensing rights). We are generally responsible for all related clinical development costs, patent filings and maintenance
costs, marketing costs, and liability insurance costs. We also may enter into out-license agreements for territory-specific rights to these drug products which
include one or more of: upfront license fees, royalties from our licensees’ sales, and/or milestone payments from our licensees’ sales or regulatory
achievements. For certain drug products, we may enter into cost-sharing arrangements with licensees and licensors.
We are also obligated to make specified milestone payments to our licensors upon the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones, and to
pay royalties based on our net sales of all in-licensed products. Depending on the milestone achievement type and whether the product has been approved,
we will either (a) capitalize the value to “intangible assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or (b) recognize the payment value within “research and
development” or “cost of sales” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The liability relating to the payment due to the licensor will be recognized
in the earliest period that we determine the respective milestone achievement is probable or has occurred.
The most significant remaining agreements associated with our operations, along with the key financial terms and our corresponding accounting and
reporting conventions for each, are as follows:
(i) ROLVEDON: Co-Development and Commercialization Agreement with Hanmi
In October 2014, we exercised our option under a License Option and Research Collaboration Agreement dated January 2012 (as amended) with
Hanmi, which became a related party in January 2022 (see note 7), for ROLVEDON, a drug based on Hanmi’s proprietary LAPSCOVERY™ technology
for the treatment of chemotherapy induced neutropenia. Under the terms of this agreement, as amended, we have primary financial responsibility for the
ROLVEDON development plan and hold its worldwide rights (except for Korea, China, and Japan).
Effective January 1, 2022, we executed an amendment to this license agreement, whereby we are contractually obligated to pay Hanmi a flat mid-
single digit royalty on our aggregate annual net sales of ROLVEDON. Additionally, Hanmi has agreed to release the Company from a prior purchase
obligation for ROLVEDON drug substance which resulted in a reduction in accrued liabilities of $11.2 million with a corresponding reduction in research
and development expense. In addition, beginning in year three after the commercial launch, we are responsible for a supplemental mid-single digit royalty
on aggregate annual net sales. This supplemental royalty will terminate once the aggregate payments made to Hanmi meet the milestone limit of
$10 million, based on the supplemental royalty. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred $0.4 million in expenses with Hanmi, which are
included as components of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. We also purchased
$9.0 million in inventory from Hanmi during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we owed Hanmi $9.8 million, which is
included as a component of accounts payable and other accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.
(ii) Poziotinib: In-License Agreement with Hanmi and Exclusive Patent and Technology License Agreement with MD Anderson
In February 2015, we executed an in-license agreement with Hanmi for poziotinib, a pan-HER inhibitor in Phase 2 clinical trials, (which has also
shown single agent activity in the treatment of various cancer types during Phase 1 studies,
F-25

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
including breast, gastric, colorectal, and lung cancers) and made an upfront payment to Hanmi for these distribution rights. Under the terms of this
agreement, we received the exclusive global rights to commercialize poziotinib, except for Korea and China. Hanmi and its development partners are fully
responsible for the completion of on-going Phase 2 trials in Korea. We are financially responsible for all other clinical studies.
Effective January 1, 2022, we executed an amendment to this in-license agreement, whereby the payments to Hanmi upon our achievement of various
regulatory milestones now aggregate to $18 million, which includes eliminating the first approval milestone payment in return for a supplemental mid-
single digit royalty on aggregate annual net sales beginning in year three after the commercial launch. This supplemental royalty will terminate once the
aggregate payments made to Hanmi meet the milestone limit of $15 million, based on the supplemental royalty. There were no contractual obligations to
Hanmi for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In April 2018, we executed an exclusive patent and technology agreement for the use of poziotinib in treating patients with EGFR and HER2 exon 20
mutations in cancer and HER2 exon 19 mutations in cancer with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”). MD Anderson
discovered poziotinib’s use in treating these patient-types. We made an upfront payment to MD Anderson of $0.5 million upon the execution of this
agreement.
We are contractually obligated to pay nominal fixed annual license maintenance fees to MD Anderson and pay additional fees upon our achievement
of various regulatory and sales milestones. These regulatory milestones aggregate $6 million and the sales milestones aggregate $24 million. We are also
contractually obligated to pay MD Anderson royalties in the low single-digits on our net sales of poziotinib.
(iii) In-License Agreement with ImmunGene for FIT Drug Delivery Platform
In April 2019, we executed an asset transfer, license, and sublicense agreement with ImmunGene, Inc. (“ImmunGene”) for an exclusive license for
the intellectual property related to (a) Anti-CD20-IFNα, an antibody-interferon fusion molecule directed against CD20 that is in Phase 1 development for
treating relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients, representing a considerable unmet medical
need, and (b) an antibody-interferon fusion molecule directed against GRP94, a target for which currently there are no existing approved therapies that have
the potential for treating both solid and hematologic malignancies. Both molecules are based on the Focused Interferon Therapeutics (“FIT”) drug delivery
platform.
In November 2021, we provided notice to terminate the asset transfer, license, and sublicense agreement with ImmunGene, Inc. Pursuant to the
agreement, we will transfer the rights, title or interest with respect to the transferred product back to ImmunGene. There were no contractual obligations to
ImmunGene for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2022 we are no longer prosecuting or maintaining any ImmunGene intellectual property and we are not contractually obligated to
pay nominal fixed annual license maintenance fees to any ImmunGene-related licensor.
(iv) In-License Agreement with Therapyx
In December 2020, we executed an asset transfer and license agreement with Therapyx, Inc. (“Therapyx”) for an exclusive worldwide license for the
intellectual property related to any pharmaceutical or biological product for use in human oncology containing, whether as its sole active or in combination
with other active ingredients, an encapsulated IL-12, in any injectable dosage form or formulation.
We made an upfront payment of $0.8 million to Therapyx upon contract execution, which was recorded to “research and development” expense
within our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. We will make an additional payment of $2.2 million upon our
acceptance of certain transferred materials from Therapyx. We will make further payments to Therapyx upon our achievement of various (i) regulatory
milestones aggregating up to $30 million for the first approved IL-12 product, plus an additional $2.5 million milestone payment for each new indication
approved for each product in the U.S., Europe, or Japan; and (ii) sales milestones aggregating up to $167.5 million based on worldwide annual net sales.
We are contractually obligated to pay royalties in the mid-single digits on our net sales of all IL-12 products, potentially reduced by royalties due to third
parties, the loss of IP protection within one or more countries, or the introduction of a competing product within one or more countries.
Depending on the nature of the milestone achievement type we will either (a) capitalize the payment value to “intangible assets” in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets or (b) recognize the payment value within “research and development” or “cost of sales” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The corresponding liability for the payment due to this licensor will be recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within “accounts payable and other
accrued liabilities” in the earliest period that we determine the respective milestone achievement is probable or has occurred.
F-26

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(c) Service Agreements for Research and Development Activities
We have entered into various contracts with numerous third-party service providers for the execution of our research and development initiatives.
These vendors include raw material suppliers, clinical trial sites, clinical research organizations, and data monitoring centers, among others. The financial
terms of these agreements are varied and generally obligate us to pay in stages, depending on the achievement of certain events specified in the agreements
- such as contract execution, progress of service completion, delivery of drug supply, and the dosing of patients in clinical studies.
We recognize these “research and development” expenses and corresponding “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying
financial statements based on estimates of our vendors’ progress of performed services, patient enrollments and dosing, completion of clinical studies, and
other events. Should we decide to discontinue and/or slow-down the work on any project, the associated costs for those projects would typically be limited
to the extent of the work completed, as we are generally able to terminate these contracts with adequate notice.
(d) Supply and Service Agreements Associated with Product Production
We have various product supply agreements and/or have issued vendor purchase orders that obligate us to agreed-upon raw material purchases from
certain vendors. We also have certain drug production service agreements with select contract manufacturers that obligate us to service fees during the
contractual period.
(e) Employment Agreements
We entered into revised employment agreements with certain of our named executive officers (chief executive officer and chief legal officer) in
April/June 2018, which supersede any prior change in control severance agreements with such individuals. We entered into an employment agreement with
our chief financial officer in April 2022. These agreements provide for the payment of certain benefits to each executive upon their separation of
employment under specified circumstances. These arrangements are designed to encourage each to act in the best interests of our stockholders at all times
during the course of a change in control event or other significant transaction.
We previously entered into an employment agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Turgeon, under which cash compensation and
benefits would become payable in the event of termination by us for any reason other than cause, his resignation for good reason, or upon a change in
control of our Company. Effective December 31, 2021, Mr. Turgeon’s employment with the Company was terminated without cause in accordance with his
employment agreement. We accrued $3.1 million for all contractual amounts due and unpaid to Mr. Turgeon as of December 31, 2021, within "accrued
payroll and benefits" on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount was paid in its entirety in 2022.
(f) Deferred Compensation Plan
The Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DC Plan”) is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of
Directors and is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The DC Plan is maintained to provide special deferred benefits for a select group of our employees (the “DC Participants”). DC Participants make
annual elections to defer a portion of their eligible cash compensation which is then placed into their DC Plan accounts. We matched a fixed percentage of
these deferrals and may make additional discretionary contributions. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate value of this DC Plan liability was
$4.5 million and $11.2 million, respectively, and is included within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” and “other long-term liabilities” in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(g) Litigation
We are involved from time-to-time with various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and legal proceedings are of a
nature we believe are normal and incidental to a pharmaceutical business, and may include product liability, intellectual property, employment matters, and
other general claims. We may also be subject to derivative lawsuits from time to time.
We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. Such provisions are assessed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative
rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Although the
ultimate resolution of these various matters cannot be
F-27

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
determined at this time, we do not believe that such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results
of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Stockholder Actions
Luo v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court, District of Nevada, Case No. 2:21-cv-01612. On August 31, 2021, this putative
securities class action lawsuit was filed by a purported shareholder, alleging that we and certain of our current and former executive officers and directors
made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts about our business and the prospects of approval for our BLA to the FDA for
eflapegrastim (ROLVEDON) in violation of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On
November 1, 2021, four individuals and one entity filed competing motions to be appointed lead plaintiff and for approval of counsel. On July 28, 2022, the
Court appointed a lead plaintiff and counsel for the putative class. On September 26, 2022, an amended complaint was filed alleging, inter alia, false and
misleading statements with respect to ROLVEDON manufacturing operations and controls and added allegations that defendants misled investors about the
efficacy of, clinical trial data and market need for Poziotinib between a Class Period of March 7, 2018 and August 5, 2021. The amended complaint seeks
damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees, and such other relief as determined by the Court. On November 30, 2022, we filed a motion to dismiss the
amended complaint, which motion is pending. There is no hearing date presently scheduled. Three additional related putative securities class action
lawsuits were subsequently filed by shareholders against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York: Osorio-Franco v. Spectrum
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-10292 (filed December 5, 2022); Cummings v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-
10677 (filed December 19, 2022); and Carneiro v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-00767 (filed January 30, 2023). These three
New York lawsuits allege that we and certain of our executive officers and directors made false or misleading statements about, inter alia, the safety and
efficacy of and clinical trial data for Poziotinib in violation of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, and seek remedies including damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees, and such other relief as determined by the Court. The Osorio-Franco and
Cummings lawsuits allege Class Periods between December 6, 2021 and September 22, 2022. The Carneiro lawsuit alleges a Class Period between July 27,
2020 and September 22, 2022, which overlaps with the Luo action Class Period. On February 15, 2023, the Court consolidated the three New York
lawsuits, with Osorio-Franco as the lead case. We believe that all of the putative securities class action lawsuit claims are without merit and intend to
vigorously defend against these claims.
Csaba v. Turgeon, et. al, (filed December 15, 2021 in the U.S. District Court District of Nevada); Shumacher v. Turgeon, et. al, (filed March 15, 2022
in the U.S. District Court District of Nevada); Johnson v. Turgeon, et. al, (filed March 29, 2022 in the U.S. District Court District of Nevada); Raul v.
Turgeon, et. al, (filed April 28, 2022 in the U.S. District Court District of Delaware); and Albayrak v. Turgeon, et al, (filed June 9, 2022 in the U.S. District
Court District of Nevada). These putative stockholder derivative actions were filed against us (as a nominal defendant), certain of our executive officers,
and certain of our past and present members of the board of directors. The stockholder derivative complaints allege, inter alia, that certain of our executive
officers are liable to Spectrum, pursuant to Section 10(b) and 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for contribution and
indemnification, if they are deemed (in the Luo class action), to have made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts about our
business and the prospects of approval for our BLA to the FDA for eflapegrastim. The complaints generally but not uniformly further allege that certain of
our executive officers and certain of our past and present directors breached their fiduciary duties, and certain of our present directors negligently violated
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, by allegedly causing such false or misleading statements to be issued and/or failing to disclose material facts about our
business and the prospects of approval for our BLA to the FDA for eflapegrastim. The allegations state that as a result of the violations, certain of our
executive officers and past and present board members committed acts of gross mismanagement, abuse of control, or were unjustly enriched. The plaintiffs
generally seek corporate reforms, damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees, and other unspecified equitable relief.
The parties have agreed to stay all derivative actions until there is an adverse decision on a motion to dismiss in the Luo Nevada securities class
action. We believe that the derivative actions are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against these claims.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a valuation allowance of $256.1 million and $242.6 million, respectively. The valuation allowance
increased by $13.5 million and $50.1 million during 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increases in the valuation allowance in 2022 and 2021 were mostly
due to an increase in net operating loss carryforwards. The $13.5 million increase in valuation allowance in 2022 is comprised of a $13.7 million increase
from losses in continuing operations net of a $0.2 million decrease from income in discontinued operations.
At December 31, 2022, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $789.3 million and $603.4 million, respectively.
We have approximately $0.5 million of foreign loss carryforwards that will begin to expire in 2039. The federal and state loss carry forwards began
expiring in 2022 unless previously utilized. Federal loss carryforwards generated in 2018 and beyond of $510.7 million will be carried forward indefinitely.
At December 31, 2022, we had federal and state tax credits of approximately $19.0 million and $11.0 million, respectively. The federal tax credit
carryovers begin to expire in 2027 unless previously utilized. The state credit carryforwards have an indefinite carryover period.
Our utilization of certain net operating loss and research and development expense tax credit carryforwards, including those acquired in connection
with the acquisition of Allos Therapeutics, Inc. in April 2012 and Talon Therapeutics, Inc. in July 2013, are subject to annual limitations under Sections
382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. Any net operating losses or credits that would expire unutilized as a result
of Section 382 and 383 limitations have been removed from the table of deferred tax assets and the accompanying disclosures of net operating loss and
research and development carryforwards.
The following tabular reconciliation summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
Approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million of the total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, would reduce
our annual effective tax rate if recognized. Additional amounts in the summary rollforward could impact our effective tax rate if we did not maintain a full
valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets.
We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to
U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations for years before 2018. In addition, the utilization of net loss carryforwards is subject to federal and
state adjustment for the periods in which those net losses were incurred. Our policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE 10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Overview
In March 2019 we completed the sale of our seven then-commercialized drugs (the “Commercial Product Portfolio”) to Acrotech in the Commercial
Product Portfolio Transaction. Upon closing we received $158.8 million in an upfront cash payment. We are also entitled to receive up to an aggregate of
$140 million upon Acrotech’s future achievement of certain regulatory milestones (totaling $40 million) and sales-based milestones (totaling $100 million)
relating to the Commercial Product Portfolio.
Substantially all of the contractual rights and obligations associated with the Commercial Product Portfolio were transferred to Acrotech at the closing
of the Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction. However, under the terms of this transaction we retained our trade “accounts receivable, net” and GTN
liabilities included within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” associated with our product sales made on and prior to February 28, 2019.
Accordingly, these Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the corresponding revenue-deriving activities and allocable expenses of this commercial
business within “discontinued operations”.

During January 2023 and through the date of this filing, we sold and issued 2.0 million shares of our common stock for net proceeds of approximately
$1.8 million under the April 2019 ATM Agreement.
The Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) is a refundable tax credit
which encouraged businesses to keep employees on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ERC was applied for based on delays in the FDA
approval process for ROLVEDON. In January 2023, we received $1.2 million ERCs.

matters covered by those certifications.
(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of
the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. This process includes those policies and
procedures (i) that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets; (ii) that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; (iii) that provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect
on our financial statements; and (iv) that provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with GAAP.
We continuously seek to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our business operations and accompanying internal controls. An internal control
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are met. Because of inherent limitations in
any control system, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company have been detected. In addition, internal controls
are subject to the risk of inadequacy because of changes in business conditions and/or the risk that compliance with a company’s policies or procedures
may deteriorate over time.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, our
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework (2013 framework) (“2013 COSO”). Based on our management’s assessment, we have concluded that as of December 31, 2022, our internal
control over financial reporting was effective, as evaluated under the 2013 COSO criteria.
(b) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures, as of such date, were effective.
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2022 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option is governed by the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Term Sheet, the Plan and
the Plan’s Standard Terms and Conditions (the “Standard Terms and Conditions”), each as amended from time to time (the Term Sheet and the Standard
Terms and Conditions, as in effect at the time of the execution of the Term Sheet, together constituting the “Award Agreement” between Participant and the
Company). This Option is granted pursuant to the Plan and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the Award Agreement. If the Award Agreement
conflicts with the Plan, the Plan will control. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined herein are defined in the Plan.

PARTICIPANT’S ACCEPTANCE
The undersigned hereby accepts the foregoing Option and agrees to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, including, without
limitation, the provisions of Section 17 of the Award Agreement which amend the terms of Participant’s Existing Stock Awards (as defined in the

SPECTRUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

STOCK OPTIONS
These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Options granted under the Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
that are evidenced by a Term Sheet or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions (the Term Sheet and the
Standard Terms and Conditions, as in effect at the time of the execution of the Term Sheet, together constituting the “Award Agreement” between
Participant and the Company). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
1.
TERMS OF OPTION
In consideration of Participant’s agreement to commence employment with and remain in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, the
Company has granted to the Participant named in the Term Sheet provided to Participant herewith an Option to purchase up to the number of
Shares set forth in the Term Sheet, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Term Sheet, and upon the other terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Award Agreement and the Plan.
2.
EXERCISE OF OPTION
The Option shall continue to vest, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Term Sheet, so long as Participant remains in
Continuous Service with the Company. Participant may exercise any vested portion of the Option at any time prior to the Expiration Date of the
Option, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.
To exercise the Option (or any part thereof), Participant shall provide notice to the Company specifying the number of Shares Participant wishes to
purchase and how Participant’s Shares should be registered (in Participant’s name only or in Participant’s and Participant’s spouse’s names as
community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship).
The exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) of the Option is set forth in the Term Sheet. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares until
Participant has paid the total Exercise Price for that number of Shares. The Exercise Price may be paid by one or more of the following means: (i)
by cash or check payable to the Company; (ii) if permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, by delivery to the Company of already-owned
Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being
exercised; (iii) if permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, by a “net exercise” arrangement whereby Participant surrenders to the
Company Shares otherwise receivable upon exercise of the Option (e.g., the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise of
the Option by the largest whole number of Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate Exercise Price); (iv) by a cashless
exercise program that the Committee may approve, from time to time in its discretion, pursuant to which a Participant may elect to concurrently
provide irrevocable instructions (A) to Participant’s broker or dealer to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Shares and remit to the
Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the Exercise Price of the Option plus all applicable
withholding taxes, and (B) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to the broker or dealer in order to complete
the sale; or (v) if permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, in any other form of legal consideration.
Fractional Shares will not be issued. Shares will be issued as soon as practical after exercise. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be
obligated to deliver any Shares during any period when the Company determines that the exercisability of the Option or the delivery of Shares
hereunder would violate Applicable Law.
3.
EXPIRATION OF OPTION
The Option shall expire and cease to be exercisable on the Expiration Date set forth in the Term Sheet.
4.
RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF OPTION SHARES
The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by
Participant or other subsequent transfers by Participant of any Shares

issued as a result of the exercise of the Option, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed
to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Participant and other optionholders, (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified
brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers or (d) restrictions under Applicable Law.
5.
INCOME TAXES
Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of an
Option exercise or disposition of Shares issued as a result of an Option exercise. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares or to
recognize the disposition of such Shares until such obligations are satisfied.
6.
TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION
Except as required by Applicable Law, the Option shall not be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by Participant except by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution provided, however, that Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary
or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of Participant with respect to the Option on the death of Participant. The Option shall be exercisable, during
Participant’s lifetime, only by Participant or, if permissible under Applicable Law, by Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The Option
may not be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall
be void and unenforceable against the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may transfer some or all of his or her Options to one or more “family members,” which is not a
“prohibited transfer for value,” provided that (i) the Participant (or such Participant’s estate or representative) shall remain obligated to satisfy all
income or other tax withholding obligations associated with the exercise of such Option; (ii) the Participant shall notify the Company in writing
that such transfer has occurred and disclose to the Company the name and address of the “family member” or “family members” and their
relationship to Participant, and (iii) such transfer shall be effected pursuant to transfer documents in a form approved by the Committee. For
purposes of the foregoing, the terms “family members” and “prohibited transfer for value” have the meaning ascribed to them in the General
Instructions to form S-8 (or any successor form) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
7.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Participant acknowledges that Applicable Law may require the placement of certain restrictive legends upon the Shares issued upon exercise of
the Option, and Participant hereby consents to the placing of any such legends upon certificates evidencing the Shares as the Company may deem
necessary or advisable.
Participant acknowledges that he or she shall be solely responsible for the satisfaction of any taxes or interest or other consequence, that may arise
pursuant to the Option (including taxes arising under Code Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor the Committee nor anyone
other than Participant, or his or her estate or beneficiaries, shall have any obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes or interest or to otherwise
indemnify or hold Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the
Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), then the Plan, the Award and this
Award Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act
(including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, this Award Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive
rule.
8.
THE PLAN AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
In addition to the Award Agreement, the Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into the Award Agreement by this
reference. A copy of the Plan, and the accompanying prospectus, is available at the Company’s intranet site.
The Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between Participant and the Company regarding the Option. Any prior
agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Option are superseded.

9.
LIMITATION OF INTEREST IN SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION
Neither Participant (individually or as a member of a group) nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through Participant shall have
any right, title, interest, or privilege in or to any Shares allocated or reserved for the purpose of the Plan or subject to the Award Agreement except
as to such Shares, if any, as shall have been issued to such person upon exercise of the Option.
10.
NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHT
Nothing in the Plan, in the Award Agreement or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to
continue in the Company’s employ or service nor limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate Participant’s Continuous Service at any time
for any reason.
11.
GENERAL
In the event that any provision of the Award Agreement is declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, or otherwise deleted,
and the remainder of the Award Agreement shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision.
Section headings are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of the Award Agreement, nor shall they affect its
meaning, construction or effect.
Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or in the Plan, every covenant, term, and provision of the Award Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors, transferees, and
assigns.
The Award Agreement may be modified or amended at any time, in accordance with the Plan and provided that Participant must consent in
writing to any modification that would impair his or her rights under the Award Agreement provided that no such consent shall be required with
respect to any modification if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such modification either (i) is required or advisable in order for
the Company, the Plan or the Option to satisfy or conform to Applicable Law or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (ii) is not
reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Option.
12.
 “MARKET STAND-OFF” CONDITIONS
Participant agrees that, if requested by the Company, Participant will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares held by Participant
without the prior written consent of the Company during such period of time.
13.
INTERPRETATION
This Option is granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance therewith. The Committee shall have
the power to interpret the Plan and the Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan
and the Award Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. Any action, decision, interpretation or
determination by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and Participant. No member of the Committee shall be
personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, the Award Agreement, or the Option.
14.
NOTICES
Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under the Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when
delivered personally or three (3) days after being deposited in the United States mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and
addressed, if to the Company, at its principal place of business, Attention: Legal Department, and if to Participant, at his or her most recent address
as shown in the employment or stock records of the Company.

AMENDMENT OF ACCELERATED VESTING OF EXISTING EQUITY AWARDS UNDER AWARD AGREEMENTS AND
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
If (a) Participant has previously been granted any equity awards by the Company under the Plan or any other equity plan maintained by the
Company (collectively, the “Equity Plans”) that remain outstanding on the date on which Participant accepts this Award (such awards, the
“Existing Stock Awards”), and (b) (i) any award agreement evidencing any such Existing Stock Award (each an “Existing Stock Award
Agreement”) provides that it will vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (or any similar term used in any such agreement) (without
regard to any termination of Continuous Service) (“Single-Trigger Accelerated Vesting”), and/or (ii) any employment or severance agreement with
the Company (an “Existing Employment Arrangement”) provides for Single-Trigger Accelerated Vesting of Participant’s Existing Stock Awards,
Participant’s acceptance and agreement to the terms of this Award constitutes Participant’s consent to the amendment of each Existing Stock
Award Agreement and Participant’s Existing Employment Arrangements, effective as of April 10, 2023, to remove the Single-Trigger Accelerated
Vesting. To the extent Participant is a party to an Existing Employment Arrangement with the Company that provides for accelerated vesting of
this Award and any Existing Stock Awards upon certain terminations of Continuous Service following a Change in Control (or any similar term
used in any such agreement) (“Double-Trigger Accelerated Vesting”), such Double-Trigger Accelerated Vesting provisions shall continue to apply
to this Award, Participant’s Existing Stock Awards and any future equity awards granted by the Company to Participant under any Equity Plan.
This Section 17 constitutes an amendment of Participant’s Existing Stock Award Agreements and any Existing Employment Agreement and will
be deemed a part of the Existing Stock Award Agreements evidencing Participant’s previously-granted Stock Awards and any Existing
Employment Arrangement. Except as set forth in this Paragraph 17, all of the remaining terms of Participant’s Existing Stock Award Agreements
and Participant’s Existing Employment Arrangements remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
Nothing in this Section 17 shall prevent the Committee from, in its sole discretion, approving the accelerated vesting of this Award in connection
with a Change in Control. In the event a Change in Control occurs prior to April 10, 2023, the Single-Trigger Accelerated Vesting shall continue to
apply in accordance with the Existing Stock Award Agreements and Existing Employment Arrangements.

SPECTRUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS
These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) granted under the Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2018 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that are evidenced by a Term Sheet or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and
Conditions (the Term Sheet and the Standard Terms and Conditions, as in effect at the time of the execution of the Term Sheet, together constituting the
“Award Agreement” between Participant and the Company) (the “Award”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth
in the Plan.
1.
TERMS OF RSUS
In consideration of Participant’s agreement to commence employment with and remain in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, the
Company has granted to the Participant named in the Term Sheet provided to Participant herewith the number of RSUs set forth in the Term Sheet.
The Award represents the right to be issued, on a future date, the number of Shares that is equal to the number of RSUs indicated in the Term
Sheet, subject to Participant’s satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth therein.
2.    VESTING OF RSUs
    The RSUs shall vest, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Term Sheet, so long as Participant remains in Continuous Service with the
Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, in the event
that Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, any portion of the RSUs that are unvested as of such termination date shall remain
unvested and shall be immediately forfeited without any further action by the Company or the Participant.
    On or as soon as administratively practicable (and within thirty (30) days) following the date on which a portion of the RSUs covered by the Award
Agreement vests (each, a “Vesting Date”), the Company will deliver to the Participant a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more
certificates for such Shares or by entering such Shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its discretion) equal to the number of
RSUs subject to the Award Agreement that vest on the applicable Vesting Date, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding
obligations; provided, however, that if, at the time of proposed settlement, the Participant is restricted from transacting in Shares due to Company
policy, settlement shall be delayed until the Participant is no longer restricted from transacting in Shares or, if earlier, March 15 of the year
following the year in which the Vesting Date occurred. No fractional RSUs or rights for fractional Shares shall be created pursuant to the Award
Agreement.
2.
NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER
Until Shares are issued to Participant, Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote the Shares
underlying the RSUs and the right to receive dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to Shares. Participant shall receive no
benefit or adjustment to the Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution unless the Committee makes an
adjustment to the Award as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any Shares that are delivered
to the Participant pursuant to the Award after such Shares have been delivered.
3.
RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF AWARD SHARES
The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by
Participant or other subsequent transfers by Participant of any Shares issued as a result of the vesting of RSUs awarded pursuant to the Award
Agreement, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the
timing and manner of sales by the Participant and other stockholders, (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or
other transfers or (d) restrictions under Applicable Law.
4.
INCOME TAXES

Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the acquisition of the Shares
underlying the Award. Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that
arise by reason of the vesting of RSUs or disposition of any Shares issued as a result of the vesting of RSUs. The Company shall not be required to
issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until such obligations are satisfied, and if such obligations are not satisfied by the
earlier of (a) the date required by the Board or (b) March 15 of the year following the year in which vesting of such underlying Shares occurred,
all such rights with respect to such RSUs and underlying Shares shall be forfeited without compensation.     
Participant may elect to satisfy any tax withholding obligation (a) in cash, (b) with the consent of the Committee, by requesting that the Company
withhold a net number of vested Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the RSUs having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the
amount necessary to satisfy the tax withholding obligation of the Company based on the minimum applicable statutory withholding rates for
federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes, or (c) through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell
order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs then vesting and that the broker has been
directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation; provided that
payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required by the Committee, but in any event not later than the
settlement of such sale.
Unless Participant elects to satisfy the tax withholding obligation by one of the means described in clauses (a) or (c) above, or any other method
permitted by the Plan, the Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment in
accordance with the Plan of any withholding tax arising in connection with the RSUs as Participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the
withholding tax by requesting the Company retain Shares otherwise issuable under the Award based on the minimum applicable statutory
withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes.
5.
TRANSFERABILITY OF RSUs
Except as required by Applicable Law, the RSUs shall not be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by Participant except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution provided, however, that Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to exercise the rights of Participant with respect to the RSUs on the death of Participant. The RSUs may not be pledged, alienated,
attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable
against the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may transfer some or all of the RSUs to one or more “family members,” which is not a “prohibited
transfer for value,” provided that (a) the Participant (or such Participant’s estate or representative) shall remain obligated to satisfy all income or
other tax withholding obligations associated with the RSUs; (b) the Participant shall notify the Company in writing that such transfer has occurred
and disclose to the Company the name and address of the “family member” or “family members” and their relationship to Participant, and (c) such
transfer shall be effected pursuant to transfer documents in a form approved by the Committee. For purposes of the foregoing, the terms “family
members” and “prohibited transfer for value” have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Instructions to form S-8 (or any successor form)
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
6.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Participant acknowledges that Applicable Law may require the placement of certain restrictive legends upon the Shares issued upon vesting of
RSUs, and Participant hereby consents to the placing of any such legends upon certificates evidencing the Shares as the Company may deem
necessary or advisable.
Participant acknowledges that he or she shall be solely responsible for the satisfaction of any taxes or interest or other consequence that may arise
pursuant to the RSUs (including taxes arising under Section 409A (as defined below)), and neither the Company nor the Committee nor anyone
other than Participant, or his or her estate or beneficiaries, shall have any obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes or interest or to otherwise
indemnify or hold Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement, if
the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), then the Plan, the Award and
this Award Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are

requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Award Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
7.
THE PLAN AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
In addition to the Award Agreement, the Award shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into the Award Agreement by this
reference. A copy of the Plan, and the accompanying prospectus is available at the Company’s intranet site.
The Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between Participant and the Company regarding the Award. Any prior
agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Award are superseded.
8.
NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHT
Nothing in the Plan, in the Award Agreement or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to
continue in the Company’s employ nor limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate Participant’s Continuous Service at any time for any
reason.
9.
GENERAL
In the event that any provision of the Award Agreement is declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, or otherwise deleted,
and the remainder of the Award Agreement shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision.
Section headings are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of the Award Agreement, nor shall they affect its
meaning, construction or effect.
Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or in the Plan, every covenant, term, and provision of the Award Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors, transferees, and
assigns.
The Award Agreement may be modified or amended at any time, in accordance with the Plan and provided that Participant must consent in
writing to any modification that would impair his or her rights under the Award Agreement provided that no such consent shall be required with
respect to any modification if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such modification either (a) is required or advisable in order for
the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy or conform to Applicable Law or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (b) is not
reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award.
10.
 “MARKET STAND-OFF” CONDITIONS
Participant agrees that, if requested by the Company, Participant will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares issued to Participant
pursuant to the Award without the prior written consent of the Company during such period of time.
11.
INTERPRETATION
This Award is granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance therewith. The Committee shall have
the power to interpret the Plan and the Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan
and the Award Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. Any action, decision, interpretation or
determination by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and Participant. No member of the Committee shall be
personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, the Award Agreement, or the Award.
12.
NOTICES

Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under the Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when
delivered personally or three (3) days after being deposited in the United States mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and
addressed, if to the Company, at its principal place of business, Attention: Legal Department, and if to Participant, at his or her most recent address
as shown in the employment or stock records of the Company.
13.
GOVERNING LAW
The validity, construction, interpretation, and effect of this Award shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.
14.
COUNTERSIGNATURE
The Term Sheet may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be
deemed one instrument, and is incorporated herein.
15.
Section 409A
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Award Agreement, the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance
with, and incorporate the terms and conditions required by, Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and
other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the
Grant Date, “Section 409A”). The Committee may, in its discretion, adopt such amendments to the Plan or the Award Agreement or adopt other
policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Committee
determines are necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
This Award is not intended to provide for any deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A, and, accordingly, the Shares issuable pursuant to
the RSUs hereunder shall be distributed to Participant no later than the later of: (a) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following
Participant’s first taxable year in which such RSUs are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, and (b) the fifteenth (15th) day of the
third month following the first taxable year of the Company in which such RSUs are no longer subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, as
determined in accordance with Section 409A and any Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder.
16.
AMENDMENT OF ACCELERATED VESTING OF EXISTING EQUITY AWARDS UNDER AWARD AGREEMENTS AND
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
If (a) Participant has previously been granted any equity awards by the Company under the Plan or any other equity plan maintained by the
Company (collectively, the “Equity Plans”) that remain outstanding on the date on which Participant accepts this Award (such awards, the
“Existing Stock Awards”), and (b) (i) any award agreement evidencing any such Existing Stock Award (each an “Existing Stock Award
Agreement”) provides that it will vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (or any similar term used in any such agreement) (without
regard to any termination of Continuous Service) (“Single-Trigger Accelerated Vesting”), and/or (ii) any employment or severance agreement with
the Company (an “Existing Employment Arrangement”) provides for Single-Trigger Accelerated Vesting of Participant’s Existing Stock Awards,
Participant’s acceptance and agreement to the terms of this Award constitutes Participant’s consent to the amendment of each Existing Stock
Award Agreement and Participant’s Existing Employment Arrangements, effective as of April 10, 2023, to remove the Single-Trigger Accelerated
Vesting. To the extent Participant is a party to an Existing Employment Arrangement with the Company that provides for accelerated vesting of
this Award and any Existing Stock Awards upon certain terminations of Continuous Service following a Change in Control (or any similar term
used in any such agreement) (“Double-Trigger Accelerated Vesting”), such Double-Trigger Accelerated Vesting provisions shall continue to apply
to this Award, Participant’s Existing Stock Awards and any future equity awards granted by the Company to Participant under any Equity Plan.
This Section 16 constitutes an amendment of Participant’s Existing Stock Award Agreements and any Existing Employment Agreement and will
be deemed a part of the Existing Stock Award Agreements evidencing Participant’s previously-granted Stock Awards and any Existing
Employment Arrangement. Except as set forth in this Paragraph 16, all of the remaining terms of Participant’s Existing Stock Award Agreements
and Participant’s Existing Employment Arrangements remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

Nothing in this Section 16 shall prevent the Committee from, in its sole discretion, approving the accelerated vesting of this Award in connection
with a Change in Control. In the event a Change in Control occurs prior to April 10, 2023, the Single-Trigger Accelerated Vesting shall continue to
apply in accordance with the Existing Stock Award Agreements and Existing Employment Arrangements.

SPECTRUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

STOCK OPTIONS
These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Options granted under the Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
that are evidenced by a Term Sheet or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions (the Term Sheet and the
Standard Terms and Conditions, as in effect at the time of the execution of the Term Sheet, together constituting the “Award Agreement” between
Participant and the Company). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
1.
TERMS OF OPTION
In consideration of Participant’s agreement to commence employment with and remain in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, the
Company has granted to the Participant named in the Term Sheet provided to Participant herewith an Option to purchase up to the number of
Shares set forth in the Term Sheet, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Term Sheet, and upon the other terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Award Agreement and the Plan.
2.
EXERCISE OF OPTION
The Option shall continue to vest, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Term Sheet, so long as Participant remains in
Continuous Service with the Company. Participant may exercise any vested portion of the Option at any time prior to the Expiration Date of the
Option, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Award Agreement shall prevent the Committee from,
in its sole discretion, approving the accelerated vesting of this Award in connection with a Change in Control.
To exercise the Option (or any part thereof), Participant shall provide notice to the Company specifying the number of Shares Participant wishes to
purchase and how Participant’s Shares should be registered (in Participant’s name only or in Participant’s and Participant’s spouse’s names as
community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship).
The exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) of the Option is set forth in the Term Sheet. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares until
Participant has paid the total Exercise Price for that number of Shares. The Exercise Price may be paid by one or more of the following means: (i)
by cash or check payable to the Company; (ii) if permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, by delivery to the Company of already-owned
Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being
exercised; (iii) if permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, by a “net exercise” arrangement whereby Participant surrenders to the
Company Shares otherwise receivable upon exercise of the Option (e.g., the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise of
the Option by the largest whole number of Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate Exercise Price); (iv) by a cashless
exercise program that the Committee may approve, from time to time in its discretion, pursuant to which a Participant may elect to concurrently
provide irrevocable instructions (A) to Participant’s broker or dealer to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Shares and remit to the
Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the Exercise Price of the Option plus all applicable
withholding taxes, and (B) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to the broker or dealer in order to complete
the sale; or (v) if permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, in any other form of legal consideration.
Fractional Shares will not be issued. Shares will be issued as soon as practical after exercise. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be
obligated to deliver any Shares during any period when the Company determines that the exercisability of the Option or the delivery of Shares
hereunder would violate Applicable Law.
3.
EXPIRATION OF OPTION
The Option shall expire and cease to be exercisable on the Expiration Date set forth in the Term Sheet.
4.
RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF OPTION SHARES

The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by
Participant or other subsequent transfers by Participant of any Shares issued as a result of the exercise of the Option, including without limitation
(a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Participant
and other optionholders, (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers or (d) restrictions under
Applicable Law.
5.
INCOME TAXES
Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of an
Option exercise or disposition of Shares issued as a result of an Option exercise. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares or to
recognize the disposition of such Shares until such obligations are satisfied.
6.
TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION
Except as required by Applicable Law, the Option shall not be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by Participant except by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution provided, however, that Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary
or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of Participant with respect to the Option on the death of Participant. The Option shall be exercisable, during
Participant’s lifetime, only by Participant or, if permissible under Applicable Law, by Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The Option
may not be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall
be void and unenforceable against the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may transfer some or all of his or her Options to one or more “family members,” which is not a
“prohibited transfer for value,” provided that (i) the Participant (or such Participant’s estate or representative) shall remain obligated to satisfy all
income or other tax withholding obligations associated with the exercise of such Option; (ii) the Participant shall notify the Company in writing
that such transfer has occurred and disclose to the Company the name and address of the “family member” or “family members” and their
relationship to Participant, and (iii) such transfer shall be effected pursuant to transfer documents in a form approved by the Committee. For
purposes of the foregoing, the terms “family members” and “prohibited transfer for value” have the meaning ascribed to them in the General
Instructions to form S-8 (or any successor form) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
7.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Participant acknowledges that Applicable Law may require the placement of certain restrictive legends upon the Shares issued upon exercise of
the Option, and Participant hereby consents to the placing of any such legends upon certificates evidencing the Shares as the Company may deem
necessary or advisable.
Participant acknowledges that he or she shall be solely responsible for the satisfaction of any taxes or interest or other consequence, that may arise
pursuant to the Option (including taxes arising under Code Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor the Committee nor anyone
other than Participant, or his or her estate or beneficiaries, shall have any obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes or interest or to otherwise
indemnify or hold Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the
Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), then the Plan, the Award and this
Award Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act
(including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, this Award Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive
rule.
8.
THE PLAN AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
In addition to the Award Agreement, the Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into the Award Agreement by this
reference. A copy of the Plan, and the accompanying prospectus, is available at the Company’s intranet site.

The Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between Participant and the Company regarding the Option. Any prior
agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Option are superseded.
9.
LIMITATION OF INTEREST IN SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION
Neither Participant (individually or as a member of a group) nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through Participant shall have
any right, title, interest, or privilege in or to any Shares allocated or reserved for the purpose of the Plan or subject to the Award Agreement except
as to such Shares, if any, as shall have been issued to such person upon exercise of the Option.
10.
NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHT
Nothing in the Plan, in the Award Agreement or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to
continue in the Company’s employ or service nor limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate Participant’s Continuous Service at any time
for any reason.
11.
GENERAL
In the event that any provision of the Award Agreement is declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, or otherwise deleted,
and the remainder of the Award Agreement shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision.
Section headings are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of the Award Agreement, nor shall they affect its
meaning, construction or effect.
Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or in the Plan, every covenant, term, and provision of the Award Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors, transferees, and
assigns.
The Award Agreement may be modified or amended at any time, in accordance with the Plan and provided that Participant must consent in
writing to any modification that would impair his or her rights under the Award Agreement provided that no such consent shall be required with
respect to any modification if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such modification either (i) is required or advisable in order for
the Company, the Plan or the Option to satisfy or conform to Applicable Law or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (ii) is not
reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Option.

SPECTRUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS
These Standard Terms and Conditions apply to any Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) granted under the Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2018 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that are evidenced by a Term Sheet or an action of the Committee that specifically refers to these Standard Terms and
Conditions (the Term Sheet and the Standard Terms and Conditions, as in effect at the time of the execution of the Term Sheet, together constituting the
“Award Agreement” between Participant and the Company) (the “Award”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth
in the Plan.
1.
TERMS OF RSUS
In consideration of Participant’s agreement to commence employment with and remain in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, the
Company has granted to the Participant named in the Term Sheet provided to Participant herewith the number of RSUs set forth in the Term Sheet.
The Award represents the right to be issued, on a future date, the number of Shares that is equal to the number of RSUs indicated in the Term
Sheet, subject to Participant’s satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth therein.
2.    VESTING OF RSUs
    The RSUs shall vest, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Term Sheet, so long as Participant remains in Continuous Service with the
Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or set forth in a written agreement between Participant and the Company, in the event
that Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, any portion of the RSUs that are unvested as of such termination date shall remain
unvested and shall be immediately forfeited without any further action by the Company or the Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in
this Award Agreement shall prevent the Committee from, in its sole discretion, approving the accelerated vesting of this Award in connection with
a Change in Control.
    On or as soon as administratively practicable (and within thirty (30) days) following the date on which a portion of the RSUs covered by the Award
Agreement vests (each, a “Vesting Date”), the Company will deliver to the Participant a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more
certificates for such Shares or by entering such Shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its discretion) equal to the number of
RSUs subject to the Award Agreement that vest on the applicable Vesting Date, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding
obligations; provided, however, that if, at the time of proposed settlement, the Participant is restricted from transacting in Shares due to Company
policy, settlement shall be delayed until the Participant is no longer restricted from transacting in Shares or, if earlier, March 15 of the year
following the year in which the Vesting Date occurred. No fractional RSUs or rights for fractional Shares shall be created pursuant to the Award
Agreement.
2.
NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER
Until Shares are issued to Participant, Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote the Shares
underlying the RSUs and the right to receive dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to Shares. Participant shall receive no
benefit or adjustment to the Award with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend or other distribution unless the Committee makes an
adjustment to the Award as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to any Shares that are delivered
to the Participant pursuant to the Award after such Shares have been delivered.
3.
RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF AWARD SHARES
The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by
Participant or other subsequent transfers by Participant of any Shares issued as a result of the vesting of RSUs awarded pursuant to the Award
Agreement, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the
timing and manner of sales by the Participant and other stockholders, (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or
other transfers or (d) restrictions under Applicable Law.
4.
INCOME TAXES

Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the acquisition of the Shares
underlying the Award. Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that
arise by reason of the vesting of RSUs or disposition of any Shares issued as a result of the vesting of RSUs. The Company shall not be required to
issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until such obligations are satisfied, and if such obligations are not satisfied by the
earlier of (a) the date required by the Board or (b) March 15 of the year following the year in which vesting of such underlying Shares occurred,
all such rights with respect to such RSUs and underlying Shares shall be forfeited without compensation.     
Participant may elect to satisfy any tax withholding obligation (a) in cash, (b) with the consent of the Committee, by requesting that the Company
withhold a net number of vested Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the RSUs having a then current Fair Market Value not exceeding the
amount necessary to satisfy the tax withholding obligation of the Company based on the minimum applicable statutory withholding rates for
federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes, or (c) through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell
order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs then vesting and that the broker has been
directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation; provided that
payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at such time as may be required by the Committee, but in any event not later than the
settlement of such sale.
Unless Participant elects to satisfy the tax withholding obligation by one of the means described in clauses (a) or (c) above, or any other method
permitted by the Plan, the Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment in
accordance with the Plan of any withholding tax arising in connection with the RSUs as Participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the
withholding tax by requesting the Company retain Shares otherwise issuable under the Award based on the minimum applicable statutory
withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes.
5.
TRANSFERABILITY OF RSUs
Except as required by Applicable Law, the RSUs shall not be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by Participant except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution provided, however, that Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary or
beneficiaries to exercise the rights of Participant with respect to the RSUs on the death of Participant. The RSUs may not be pledged, alienated,
attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable
against the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may transfer some or all of the RSUs to one or more “family members,” which is not a “prohibited
transfer for value,” provided that (a) the Participant (or such Participant’s estate or representative) shall remain obligated to satisfy all income or
other tax withholding obligations associated with the RSUs; (b) the Participant shall notify the Company in writing that such transfer has occurred
and disclose to the Company the name and address of the “family member” or “family members” and their relationship to Participant, and (c) such
transfer shall be effected pursuant to transfer documents in a form approved by the Committee. For purposes of the foregoing, the terms “family
members” and “prohibited transfer for value” have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Instructions to form S-8 (or any successor form)
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
6.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Participant acknowledges that Applicable Law may require the placement of certain restrictive legends upon the Shares issued upon vesting of
RSUs, and Participant hereby consents to the placing of any such legends upon certificates evidencing the Shares as the Company may deem
necessary or advisable.
Participant acknowledges that he or she shall be solely responsible for the satisfaction of any taxes or interest or other consequence that may arise
pursuant to the RSUs (including taxes arising under Section 409A (as defined below)), and neither the Company nor the Committee nor anyone
other than Participant, or his or her estate or beneficiaries, shall have any obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes or interest or to otherwise
indemnify or hold Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement, if
the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), then the Plan, the Award and
this Award Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are

requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Award Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
7.
THE PLAN AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
In addition to the Award Agreement, the Award shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into the Award Agreement by this
reference. A copy of the Plan, and the accompanying prospectus is available at the Company’s intranet site.
The Award Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between Participant and the Company regarding the Award. Any prior
agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Award are superseded.
8.
NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHT
Nothing in the Plan, in the Award Agreement or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to
continue in the Company’s employ nor limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate Participant’s Continuous Service at any time for any
reason.
9.
GENERAL
In the event that any provision of the Award Agreement is declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, or otherwise deleted,
and the remainder of the Award Agreement shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision.
Section headings are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of the Award Agreement, nor shall they affect its
meaning, construction or effect.
Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or in the Plan, every covenant, term, and provision of the Award Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors, transferees, and
assigns.
The Award Agreement may be modified or amended at any time, in accordance with the Plan and provided that Participant must consent in
writing to any modification that would impair his or her rights under the Award Agreement provided that no such consent shall be required with
respect to any modification if the Committee determines in its sole discretion that such modification either (a) is required or advisable in order for
the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy or conform to Applicable Law or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (b) is not
reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award.
10.
 “MARKET STAND-OFF” CONDITIONS

pursuant to the Award without the prior written consent of the Company during such period of time.

License.
1.1
License Grant to Spectrum. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Hanmi hereby grants to Spectrum:
(a)
an exclusive (even as to Hanmi except as required by Hanmi to perform its obligations under this Agreement) license
under the Licensed Technology to research, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, have used, market, distribute, import, export,
offer for sale, promote, sell and have sold Products in the Field in the Spectrum Territory,
(b)
upon mutual agreement, a non-exclusive license under the Licensed Technology to, manufacture, have
manufactured, the Compound and the Product outside the Spectrum Territory, but solely to, use, have used, market, distribute, offer for sale,
promote and sell the Products in the Spectrum Territory (the license granted under this Section 2.1(b), the “Non-Exclusive License,” and
collectively with the license granted under Section 2.1(a) above, the “License”); provided, that Spectrum agrees to consult with Hanmi in
advance of engaging any Third Party manufacturer in the Hanmi Territory pursuant thereto and each Party agrees to consider in good faith
the other Party’s reasonable request with respect to such engagement.
(c)
the right to grant sublicenses under the License, with the right to grant further sublicenses; provided, however, that
such Sublicensee(s) agree to be subject to efforts standards no less stringent than those applicable to Spectrum under this Agreement for the
corresponding territory and obligation.
1.2
Non-Compete. During the Term, (a) Hanmi agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, not to: (i) conduct,
participate in or sponsor, directly or indirectly, the commercialization of a Competing Product (collectively, such activities “Competing
Activities”) in the Spectrum Territory or (ii) appoint, license or otherwise authorize any Third Party, whether pursuant to such license,
appointment, or authorization or otherwise to perform any Competing Activities and (b) Spectrum agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of its
Affiliates, not to conduct, participate in or sponsor, the commercialization of any Competing Products in the Spectrum Territory unless (i)
Hanmi fails to meet its supply obligations under this Agreement or the Supply Agreement, (ii) there are regulatory impediments for Product
approval or maintenance in the Major Markets, or (iii) there are safety issues with the Product or the Compound. The Parties agree that, upon
a change of control of Spectrum, the covenants set forth in clause 2.2(b) above shall automatically terminate.
1.3
Development of Competing Product. If Hanmi commences development of a Competing  Product during the Term
(“Developed Competing Product”), Hanmi agrees to advise Spectrum in writing of such proposed development and keep Spectrum
reasonably informed of the results of the material stages of development. In the event that Hanmi decides to appoint, license or otherwise
authorize any Third Party to commercialize the Developed Competing Product in Spectrum Territory (“Out-license”), Hanmi must provide
Spectrum a written notice of its intention to Out-license (“Out-license Notice”) prior to initiating any discussions with any Third Party
regarding such Out-license. For a period of [***] following receipt of the Out-license Notice (“Negotiation Period”), Hanmi agrees to
negotiate with Spectrum in good faith the terms of an Out-license to Spectrum.  In the event that, at the end of the Negotiation Period, Hanmi
and Spectrum fail to agree on the terms of an Out-license to Spectrum, then Hanmi shall be free thereafter to negotiate the terms of the Out-
license with Third Parties; provided, that prior to entering into a definitive agreement granting an Out-license to a Third Party, Hanmi must
provide Spectrum a written notice of and a copy of  the  definitive agreement proposed to be entered into with a Third Party (“ROFR
Notice”). Spectrum shall have a right of first refusal [***] from the receipt of ROFR Notice (“Exercise Period”) to match the terms of the
proposed definitive agreement with the Third Party.  If Spectrum fails to match the terms of such proposed Third Party definitive agreement
within the Exercise Period, Hanmi shall have [***] from the end of the Exercise Period to execute a definitive agreement with the Third
Party. If Hanmi fails to execute such
7.

agreement within [***] from the end of the Exercise Period, Hanmi shall again be subject to Spectrum’s right of
first negotiation and refusal with respect to such Out-license set forth in this Section 2.3. Spectrum’s right to receive notices, first negotiate
and refusal set forth in this Section 2.3 shall survive for a period of the Royalty Term. For avoidance of doubt, Hanmi’s rights to
commercialize a Developed Competing Product in the Spectrum Territory are always subject to the Section 2.2 during the Term.
1.4
Territorial Integrity.
(a)
Commercial Activities. Each Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prevent any Product sold or
otherwise distributed by such Party, directly or indirectly, from being sold, distributed, or otherwise transported for use outside its respective

shall be granted by implication. All such rights or licenses are or shall be granted only as expressly provided in the terms of this Agreement.
3.
Development, Regulatory and Commercialization Matters.
1.1
Development.
(a)
Conduct of Development Activities. Each Party shall take the lead in, and be responsible for, conducting the
development activities, including clinical trials, as may be reasonably necessary to expeditiously obtain Marketing Approvals for the
Products for use in the Field, in the case of Hanmi, in the Hanmi Territory, and in the case of Spectrum, in the Spectrum Territory; provided,
however, Spectrum shall have the sole right and be responsible for conducting the Phase III Clinical Trials for treatment of neutropenia
(“Neutropenia Trial”), and Spectrum will keep Hanmi reasonably informed of the progress of the Neutropenia Trial, and consider in good
faith the requests and suggestions of Hanmi with respect to such trial or a bridging study. It is understood and agreed that, as between the
Parties, except as expressly agreed to otherwise by the Parties, all development efforts for the Products for use in the Field (including
preparing and filing for Marketing Approvals for the Products for use in the Field), in the case of Spectrum, in the Spectrum Territory, shall
be at the sole expense of Spectrum, and in the case of Hanmi, in the Hanmi Territory, shall be at the sole expense of Hanmi.
(b)
Clinical Trials. To the extent the Parties conduct clinical trials in their respective Territory, the Parties shall
coordinate their respective development and regulatory efforts to the extent reasonably practicable. During the course of the clinical study,
each Party shall:
(i)
maintain records in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent and regulatory
purposes and as will properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of the clinical study (including all data in the
form required to be maintained under any applicable governmental regulations). Such records shall include books, records, reports, research
notes, case report forms, charts, graphs, comments, computations, analyses, recordings, photographs, computer programs and documentation
thereof, computer information storage means, samples of materials and other graphic or written data generated in connection with the clinical
study; and
8.

(ii)
promptly provide to the other Party copies of correspondence with regulatory authorities and results of the
clinical study and upon request copies of the clinical study-related records and IRB approvals.
(c)
Protocols and Clinical Trials. Each Party shall provide the other Party, through the JDC, a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment upon the draft protocol for each of the material non-clinical studies (to the extent data therefrom is necessary or
intended to be used for preparing or filing for Marketing Approval with Regulatory Authorities) and clinical trials to be conducted in the
Hanmi Territory or in the Spectrum Territory, as applicable, related to the Products for use in the Field and a summary of any material
modification of such protocols from time to time. Except as may be provided in Section 3.1(d) below, Spectrum shall have the right to
determine and finalize, in its sole discretion, the protocols for such non-clinical studies and clinical trials to be conducted by Spectrum (itself
or through one or more of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) in the Spectrum Territory; and Hanmi shall have the right to determine and finalize,
in its sole discretion, the protocols for such non-clinical studies and clinical trials to be conducted by Hanmi (itself or through one or more of
its Affiliates) in the Hanmi Territory. The Parties acknowledge the protocols as provided may need to change as a result of exigent or other
circumstances (e.g., patient safety matters) and in such case, each Party shall have the right to make such changes without having to provide
them beforehand to the other Party for its review and comment hereunder; provided, such changes shall be provided to the other Party as
soon as practicable and no later than thirty (30) days prior to such changes being implemented.
(d)
Excepted Development Matters. If either Party in good faith believes any development activities, as proposed by the
other Party and not set forth in Exhibit 3.1(d), would have a likelihood of having a material adverse effect on a Regulatory Filing or the
procurement or maintenance of a Marketing Approval of, or on the label or safety of, a Product in clinical development or then being
commercialized in such Party’s respective Territory (“Excepted Development Matters”), based on regulatory and scientific evidence
typically relied upon by the pharmaceutical industry, then such Party shall notify the other Party of its concerns with respect to such activity
within fifteen (15) Business Days of the submission of the draft protocol for such activity and provide documentation of the basis for its
concerns. The proposing Party shall, in good faith, consider the documentation and positions of the objecting Party (and, if needed, consult
with the objecting Party) to determine whether such activity should be conducted and/or whether the protocol for such activity should be
modified to address such concerns. If the proposing Party does not agree with the objecting Party with respect to such Excepted Development
Matter, then neither Party shall have any final decision making authority with respect to such activity, and such matter shall be resolved in
accordance with Section 11.4.
(e)
Development Data and Regulatory Filings. Each Party shall, through the JDC, keep the other Party appropriately and
routinely informed regarding progress with respect to the development of the Products for use in the Field in such Party’s respective
Territory. Each Party shall own, and shall provide the other Party full access to, and sufficient rights to reference and use in its Regulatory
Filings for the Products for use in the Field in its respective Territory, without additional charge, all results, data and other information
generated from its conduct of activities with respect to the development of the Products, including clinical, non-clinical and CMC reports and
regulatory correspondence.
9.

1.2
Regulatory.
(a)
Conduct of Regulatory Activities. Spectrum (itself, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, as applicable) shall be solely
responsible, at its own expense, for all regulatory activities with respect to the Products in the Field in the Spectrum Territory, including
formulating regulatory strategy and preparing, filing, obtaining, and maintaining Marketing Approvals for Products in the Field in the
Spectrum Territory. Spectrum (itself, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, as applicable) shall be the holder of all Marketing Approvals for Products
in the Field in the Spectrum Territory and shall have responsibility for interactions with Regulatory Authorities with respect to the Products
in the Field in the Spectrum Territory. Spectrum shall keep Hanmi reasonably informed of, the preparation and Regulatory Authority review
and approval of submissions and communications with Regulatory Authorities with respect to the Compound and the Product in the Field in
the Spectrum Territory. In addition, upon Hanmi’s reasonable request, Spectrum shall provide Hanmi with copies of all material documents,
information and correspondence received from a Regulatory Authority and with copies of any other documents, reports, and communications
from or to any Regulatory Authority relating to the Compound, Product and/or activities under this Agreement
(b)
Access to Regulatory Filings. Hanmi hereby grants to Spectrum (and its Affiliates and Sublicensees, as applicable)
the right to access and cross-refer to filings made by Hanmi or its Affiliates, by Hanmi’s licensors or suppliers (who have granted Hanmi
cross-reference rights to their filings, which Hanmi will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain), and by licensees (who have agreed
to reciprocal rights of reference for the benefit of Hanmi, which Hanmi will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain) with Regulatory
Authorities and Marketing Approval relating to the Compound and/or the Product (including any DMF) solely to the extent necessary in
connection with regulatory activities with respect to the Products in the Field in the Spectrum Territory. Spectrum hereby grants to Hanmi
and its Affiliates and licensees (who have agreed to reciprocal rights of reference for the benefit of Spectrum, which Spectrum will use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain) the right to access and cross-refer to filings made by Spectrum and its Affiliates and
Sublicensees and by Spectrum’s licensors or suppliers (who have granted Spectrum cross-reference rights to their filings, which Spectrum
will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain), with Regulatory Authorities and Marketing Approval relating to the Products
(including any DMF) solely to the extent necessary in connection with regulatory activities with respect to the Products in the Field in the
Hanmi Territory. Each Party shall, promptly upon request of the other Party, file with applicable Regulatory Authorities such letters of access
or cross-reference as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this Section 3.2(b).
(c)
Safety Data Exchange. Before the start of a clinical trial by Spectrum, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and
enter into a safety data exchange agreement regarding the Compound and the Product, which shall set forth standard operating procedures
governing the collection, investigation, reporting, and exchange of information concerning adverse drug reactions/experiences sufficient to
permit each Party to comply with its regulatory and other legal obligations within the applicable timeframes. Such safety data exchange
agreement shall provide that each Party is responsible for the timely reporting of all relevant adverse drug reactions/experiences, Product
quality, Product complaints and safety data relating to the Compound and the Product to the appropriate Regulatory Authorities in their
respective territories, in accordance with all Applicable Law. Such agreement shall allow each Party to comply with all regulatory and legal
requirements regarding the management of safety data by providing for the exchange of relevant information in the appropriate format within
applicable timeframes. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties, Spectrum shall maintain a global safety database for the Compound
and the Product and Hanmi shall report all material adverse drug reactions or experiences to Spectrum, as set forth in the safety data
exchange agreement, in order to update the database and to comply with Applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, the Party
maintaining the global safety database for the Compound and the Product shall, upon reasonable request by the other Party, provide the other
Party with safety data contained in the global safety database.
(d)
Cooperation for Regulatory Activities. Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party for all regulatory activities
conducted by such Party hereunder.
1.3
Governance.
10.

(a)
Joint Development Committee. Within forty-five (45) days of the Effective Date, the Parties will form a joint
development committee (the “JDC”) to serve as a forum for information exchange and discussion with respect to development and
regulatory activities relating to the Compound and the Product in the Field in the Territory.
(b)
Composition. The JDC will be comprised of an equal number of members appointed by each of Spectrum and
Hanmi, which members shall be employees of the applicable Party with appropriate experience and authority. Each Party will notify the other
Party of its initial JDC members within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Each Party may change its JDC members at any time by
written notice to the other Party, which may be delivered at a scheduled meeting of the JDC. Any member of the JDC may designate a
substitute to attend and perform the functions of that member at any meeting of the JDC. The JDC shall appoint one of its members as
chairman, whose role shall be to convene and preside at meetings of the JDC, but the chairman shall not be entitled to prevent items from
being discussed. Each Party may, with the consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, invite non-
member representatives of such Party to attend meetings of the JDC.
(c)
Responsibilities. The JDC shall, unless as otherwise agreed to by the Parties:
(i)
periodically review the results of the development activities to ensure, to the extent reasonably practical,
compliance with obligations under this Agreement;

Parties. Such meetings may be in person, via videoconference, or via teleconference. The location of in-person JDC meetings will be
determined by the Parties. At least seven (7) Business Days prior to each JDC meeting, each Party shall provide written notice to the other
Party of agenda items proposed by such Party for discussion at such meeting, together with appropriate information related thereto.
Reasonably detailed written minutes will be kept of all JDC meetings. Meeting minutes will be prepared by the Party at whose office such
meeting is held and sent to each member of the JDC for review and approval within seven (7) Business Days after the meeting. Minutes

will be deemed approved unless a member of the JDC objects to the accuracy of such minutes within ten (10) Business Day of receipt.
(e)
Decisions. The Parties agree that the JDC shall have no decision-making authority with respect to any matters
related to this Agreement, or either Party’s development and commercialization activities.
1.4
Manufacture and Supply.
(a)
Obligations. Hanmi shall supply to Spectrum the Products, as set forth hereunder and in the Supply Agreement, for
development and commercialization in the Field in the Spectrum Territory; provided, that the actual quantities of the commercial supply of
the Products by Hanmi and purchase by Spectrum shall be set forth in the Supply Agreement. Spectrum may at any time and from time to
time, in its sole discretion, choose to manufacture the Compound and/or Product itself or
11.

have such by a Third Party manufacturer, subject to the following. Spectrum shall notify Hanmi and coordinate with Hanmi in good faith in
advance of engaging any Third Party manufacturer. If Spectrum elects to manufacture itself, or have manufactured the Compound and/or the
Product by a Third Party manufacturer of its choice, Spectrum shall nevertheless continue to satisfy minimum purchase obligation set forth in
the Supply Agreement and Hanmi shall perform a technical transfer to Spectrum or such Third Party manufacturer. The expense for such
technical transfer shall be allocated as mutually agreed by the Parties and as set forth in the Supply Agreement. Further detail relating to the
supply of (i) clinical trial Product is set forth in Section 3.4(b), and (ii) commercial Product is set forth in Section 3.4(c).
(b)
Clinical Supply.
(i)
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Hanmi shall supply, as ordered by Spectrum, a reasonable number of
units of the Products, which is anticipated to be [***] in the aggregate to Spectrum for use in development activities (including clinical trials)
related to the Products in the Field.
(ii)
The parties shall agree on the timeframe for delivery of the Products under Section 3.4(b)(i), which shall
take into consideration the Parties obtaining and complying with all relevant regulatory approvals and requirements, including cGMPs, for
the Products to be delivered, Hanmi’s production capacities and supply capabilities and Spectrum’s requirement of the Product to conduct
development activities (including clinical trials). Spectrum will order the Products in accordance with the mutually agreed time frame for
delivery and Hanmi agrees that time is of the essence with respect to the delivery dates set forth in Spectrum’s purchase orders.
(iii)
Hanmi will ship the Products using such carriers as Spectrum may designate in the purchase orders or
otherwise in writing to Hanmi. The Products supplied hereunder will be suitably packed for shipment and labeled for shipment to the address
specified in Spectrum’s order. All shipments shall be FCA place of shipment (Incoterms 2010), at which point, all title to, and risk of loss of,
the Product shall pass to Spectrum or its designee. All freight, insurance, and other shipping expenses from the F.C.A. point shall be paid by
Spectrum.
(iv)
Products supplied by Hanmi under Section 3.4(b) of this Agreement shall conform to the Product
Specifications, the Quality Agreement and cGMPs. Hanmi shall ship the Products to Spectrum not more than [***] from the date of their
production by Hanmi unless otherwise agreed by the Parties; provided that, Spectrum shall issue a Purchase Order [***] before the Delivery
Date as set forth in the Supply Agreement. Prior to shipment of the Products to Spectrum, Hanmi shall inspect and perform testing of the
Products in accordance with the Quality Agreement and
industry standards in order to confirm that the Products conform to the Product Specifications in all respects. Concurrently with each
shipment of the Products, Hanmi shall provide Spectrum a Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of Compliance for each lot of the Product
included in such shipment. Without limiting the foregoing, Hanmi will ensure that the Products are manufactured, stored, and transported in
accordance with Applicable Laws including the cGMPs.
(v)
Within [***] of the receipt by Spectrum of the Products at its facility (the “Inspection Period”), Spectrum
shall have the right to perform testing and analysis, on a sample basis, in accordance with the Quality Agreement to determine whether the
Products conform to the Product Specifications. If Spectrum determines that the delivered Products do not conform to the Product
Specifications, Spectrum shall notify Hanmi thereof in writing along with a detailed report and data regarding the alleged non-conformity (a
“Non-Conformity Report”) within the Inspection Period. Within [***] of receiving such Non-Conformity Report, Hanmi shall notify
Spectrum in writing whether it agrees or disagrees with such Non-Conformity Report. In the event Hanmi agrees to the Non-Conformity
Report, Spectrum shall return only the non-conforming Products to Hanmi at Hanmi’s expense within [***] following receipt of Hanmi’s
written notice confirming that it agrees to the Non-Conformity Report and the required documents to customs for the return of the Product.
Upon receipt of such non-conforming Products, Hanmi shall replace such nonconforming Products with conforming Products as soon as
commercially possible at Hanmi’s expense. For the avoidance of doubt, if Spectrum fails to inform Hanmi within the Inspection Period,
Spectrum shall be deemed to have accepted the
12.

delivered Products as being conforming to the Product Specifications (including cGMPs). In the case of latent defects, which shall mean a
defect in the Product caused solely as a result of defective manufacturing of the Product by Hanmi and which defect could not have been
discovered during the Inspection Period through Commercially Reasonable Efforts (a “Latent Defect”), if Spectrum becomes aware of a
latent defect in the Products after the-Inspection Period has ended, Spectrum shall promptly notify Hanmi in writing along with a detailed
report and data regarding the alleged latent defect (a “Latent Defect Report”) within [***] from the date the Inspection Period ended (the
“Latent Defect Inspection Period”). Within [***] of receiving such Latent Defect Report, Hanmi shall notify Spectrum in writing whether
it agrees or disagrees with such Latent Defect Report. In the event Hanmi agrees to the Latent Defect Report, Hanmi shall replace the
defective Products with Products that do not contain the latent defect at Hanmi’s expense as soon as commercially possible. For the
avoidance of doubt, if Spectrum fails to notify Hanmi about the Latent Defect within the Latent Defect Inspection Period, the Products
delivered shall be deemed to be free of latent defects and accepted by Spectrum as being conforming to the Product Specifications. Inspection
or acceptance of the Products shall not constitute a waiver of any rights Spectrum may have based on Hanmi’s warranties with the exception
of Section 7.2(j). If the Parties disagree as to whether the delivered Products conform to the Product Specifications or not or contain a latent
defect, the Parties shall refer such dispute to an independent laboratory mutually accepted to both Parties, which analysis shall be binding on
the Parties solely for determining whether the Products conform to the Product Specifications or not or contain a latent defect. If such testing
confirms that the Products do not conform to the Product Specifications, Hanmi shall bear the cost of the testing as well as the cost for
replacing the nonconforming Products whereas if the testing determines that the Products conform to the Product Specifications, Spectrum
shall bear the cost of testing.
(vi)
In the event of any shortage or delay in supply of Products to Spectrum by Hanmi, the supply of Products to
Spectrum shall be apportioned between Spectrum and Hanmi (including any other licensees) on a pro-rata basis according to the needs of the
then-active clinical trials requiring supplies of the Products.
(vii)
Hanmi shall maintain (a) complete and adequate records of all batch records, tests and analyses carried out
with respect to the Products supplied to Spectrum, (b) complete, accurate and authentic accounts, notes, data and records relating to the
supply of Products under this Agreement adequate to comply with all Applicable Laws, and (c) complete adequate records pertaining to the
methods and facilities used by it for the manufacture, testing and supply of the Products to Spectrum, including batch records, in-process
controls, quality control data and deviation reports.
(viii)
No more than once in each calendar year during the Term while Spectrum is performing development
activities, Spectrum shall have the right, with at least thirty (30) calendar days’ written prior notice, to inspect Hanmi’s (to the extent
applicable) manufacturing, packaging, laboratory and warehousing facilities utilized in the manufacture, packaging, storage, testing, shipping
or receiving of the Products; provided, however, such inspection shall not interfere with the daily operation of Hanmi’s business. This
inspection right includes the right to audit (a) the manufacturing facilities, (b) to inspect quality control procedures, and (c) to audit any
records and reports pertinent to the manufacturing, disposition, or transport of the Products to confirm compliance with all Applicable Laws
for the supply of each Product, including with applicable cGMPs.
(ix)
Hanmi shall obtain and maintain such FDA and other Regulatory Authority approvals of facility and
processes as may be required to manufacture the Products in Hanmi’s manufacturing facilities for supply of the Products to Spectrum. Hanmi
shall prepare and submit to Spectrum all reports concerning manufacture of the Products that are reasonably necessary to support Marketing
Approvals of the Products in the Spectrum Territory.
(x)
If a facility that manufactures the Products is inspected by representatives of any Regulatory Authority in
connection with manufacture of the Products, Hanmi shall notify Spectrum promptly (by telephone and in writing) upon learning of such
inspection, and shall supply Spectrum with copies of any related correspondence or other documentation, or portions thereof, in the
possession of Hanmi relating to the Products. Spectrum may send representatives to such facilities and participate fully in any portion of such

of the Third Party Royalties from the royalties owed to Hanmi pursuant to Section 4.3 above with respect to Net Sales of such Product in
such country; provided such deductions shall not result in the royalties that would otherwise be payable by Spectrum to Hanmi for such

in a recognized banking institution designated by Hanmi.
1.5
Records; Audits. Spectrum shall keep, and require Sublicensees to keep, complete, fair, and true books of accounts and

Affiliates,’ employees, agents, consultants, and other representatives do not disclose or make any unauthorized use of the Confidential
Information. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the
Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

consultant or agent agrees to be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use comparable in scope to those set forth in this Article 6;
(f)
disclosure to Third Parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations by such Third Parties, and
disclosure to potential Third Party investors in confidential financing documents, provided, in each case, that any such Third Party agrees to
be bound by similar terms of confidentiality and non-use comparable in scope to those set forth in this Article 6.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information
pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or Section 6.3(d), it will, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such
disclosure and use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information at least as diligent as such Party would use to protect its own
confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid
disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder.
1.4
Public Announcements.
(a)
Press Releases. As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Parties shall each issue a mutually agreed press
release announcing the existence of this Agreement. Except as required by Applicable Laws (including disclosure requirements of the U.S.

neither Party shall make any other public announcement concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof without the prior written
consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that each Party may make any public statement in
response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst calls, or issue press
releases, so long as any such public statement or press release is not inconsistent with prior public disclosures or public statements approved
by the other Party pursuant to this Section 6.4 and which do not reveal non-public information about the other Party. In the event of a
required public announcement, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, the Party making such announcement shall provide the
other Party with a copy of the proposed text of such announcement sufficiently in advance of the scheduled release to afford such other Party
a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed text.

terms proposed to be redacted; provided that each Party will ultimately retain control over what information to disclose to the SEC or any
stock exchange or other governmental agency, as the case may be, and provided further that the Parties will use their best efforts to file
redacted versions with any governing bodies which are consistent with redacted versions previously filed with any other governing
bodies. Other than such obligation, neither Party (or its Affiliates) will be obligated to consult with or obtain approval from the other Party
with respect to any filings to the SEC or any stock exchange or other governmental agency.
1.5
Publication. At least thirty (30) days prior to publishing, publicly presenting, and/or submitting for written or oral

publish such Information sooner, in which case such Party shall provide such draft copy to the other Party as much in advance of such
publication as possible). The publishing Party shall consider in good faith any comments provided by the other Party during such thirty (30)
day period. In addition, the publishing Party shall, at the other Party’s reasonable request, remove therefrom any Confidential Information of
20.

the Nondisclosure Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information for
purposes of this Agreement.
1.7
Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that would result to a Party
upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages
would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 6. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific
performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 6.

expense and by counsel of its own choice, and Hanmi shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel

right per the preceding sentence. The parties shall endeavor in good faith to share the same local counsel, but each retain the right to select
their own respective counsel. Otherwise, if Spectrum fails to bring any such action or proceeding with respect to infringement of any
Licensed Patent within ninety (90) days following the notice of alleged infringement, Hanmi shall have the right to bring and control any

connection with a cost-sharing arrangement, any recovery realized by a Party as a result of any action or proceeding pursuant to this Section

Agreement in such country. The duration from the Effective Date until the expiration date of this Agreement in all the countries in the
Territory shall be called herein the “Term.”
1.2
Termination.
(a)
Mutual Agreement. The Parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual written agreement of the Parties.
(b)
Material Breach. A Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if
such other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and has not cured such breach within sixty (60) days after notice from the
terminating Party requesting cure of the breach. Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such sixty (60) day period unless
the breaching Party has cured such breach prior to the end of such period.
(c)
Bankruptcy. A Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party upon the

good reason; provided, that Hanmi shall not unreasonably withhold, delay, or condition its consent with respect to the existence of good
reason. If Spectrum and Hanmi cannot agree on the existence of good reason in any country(ies), such disagreement shall be referred to their
respective chief executive officers for resolution. If the chief executive officers of the Parties are unable to resolve the disagreement within
ninety (90) days of the matter being referred to them, such matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.4(b); provided, that if the
arbitrator decides that good reason does not exist in any country(ies), then Spectrum may, at its sole option, either pay the termination fee set
forth above or withdraw the termination notice and continue development and commercialization of the Products in such country(ies) under
this Agreement.

Alternative Supplier. The relationship between the Parties shall be non-exclusive and Spectrum shall have the right
to qualify and use alternative suppliers of the Product. Spectrum agrees to qualify any alternative suppliers at its own expense and employ its
own subject matter experts. Upon Hanmi’s technology transfer to the third party supplier requested by Spectrum, said third party supplier
shall use Hanmi’s technology so transferred for the sole and exclusive purpose of supplying Spectrum with the manufacturing services for
Product and Spectrum shall ensure that any agreements with such suppliers include language to this effect. For avoidance of doubt, Hanmi
will not be required to perform any technology transfer activities at an alternative supplier site that relates to the LAPS carrier and the master

cell banks strictly confidential and to impose at least the same level of confidentiality obligation upon Spectrum’s third party suppliers).

Nonconforming Product.
1.1
Product Conformity. Within [***] from the date of delivery of both the Product and the Released Executed Batch
Record to Spectrum, Spectrum will determine, based on agreed release testing procedures, whether such Product conforms to Product
Specifications and the Master Batch Record (collectively the “Product Requirements”), if Spectrum establishes that any shipment of a
Product does not conform to the Product Requirements (“Nonconforming Product”), then Spectrum will give Hanmi written notice thereof
as soon as practicable but in no event later than [***] from the date of delivery of both the Product and the Released Executed Batch Record
and will, unless otherwise directed by Hanmi, return only the Nonconforming Product for further testing by Hanmi. Failure to provide such
written notice prior to the end of the [***] period will indicate that Spectrum has accepted the Product solely as having passed its ordinary
course testing, but such acceptance will not waive Spectrum’s rights under this Article 3 with respect to latent defects (i.e. Nonconforming
Product, the nonconforming nature of which is not discoverable within that [***] period) in Product or constitute a waiver of any rights
Spectrum may have based on Hanmi’s warranties hereunder. Hanmi will use its best efforts to replace all rejected Product as soon as
practicable, pending a determination as to whether the Product in question was rightfully rejected. If, after conducting its own testing. Hanmi
agrees, or it is determined pursuant to Section 3.2. that the returned Product fails to meet Product Requirements and. to the extent that such
failure is not due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions attributable to Spectrum or any third party prior to or after delivery of such
Product, the provisions of Section 3.3 will apply. If it is determined that the Product at issue meets the Product Requirements, then Spectrum
shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Hanmi in relation to the testing conducted by Hanmi.
1.2
Disputes. If there is any dispute concerning whether the Product meets the Product Requirements and/or the reasons
therefor, the Parties will designate an independent laboratory to determine whether or not the Product at issue meets the applicable Product
Requirements. The decision of such independent laboratory will be in writing and will be binding on both Hanmi and Spectrum. The costs of
such independent laboratory will be borne by the Parties equally; provided, that the Party that is determined to be incorrect in the dispute will
be responsible for all such costs and will indemnify the prevailing Party for its share of the costs incurred.
1.3
Nonconforming Product. In the event the Product is determined to be Nonconforming Product (whether by
agreement of Hanmi pursuant to Section 3.1 or by an independent laboratory pursuant to Section 3.2) all remaining available Nonconforming
Product will be either returned to Hanmi or destroyed, at Hanmi’s option and cost, and Hanmi will promptly replace such Nonconforming
Product at its own cost and expense and will use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Nonconforming Product in a reasonable
time: provided, however, if the nonconformity is not directly or indirectly due to any action or inaction of Hanmi, then the cost for
replacement shall be Spectrum’s responsibility.
4.
Price and Payment.

of a Product, which shall be payable within [***] days of the receipt of the applicable shipment by Spectrum. Prices for the Products set forth

SECOND AMENDMENT TO SUPPLY AGREEMENT -ROLONTIS
This SECOND AMENDMENT TO SUPPLY AGREEMENT - ROLONTIS (this “Second Amendment”) is made and
effective as of January 1st, 2022 (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”) by and between Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Spectrum”) and Hanmi Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the
Republic of Korea (“Hanmi”). In this Second Amendment, Hanmi and Spectrum each may be referred to individually as a
“Party” and together as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, Spectrum and Hanmi are parties to that certain Supply Agreement, dated February 28, 2018, as amended by
that certain First Amendment dated December 6, 2019 (the “Supply Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to revise the terms of the Supply Agreement with respect to purchase orders, minimum
purchase requirements, and pricing, as set forth below:
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as
follows:
1.    Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Supply
Agreement.
2.    Sections 2.1.1 through 2.1.8 of the Supply Agreement. Sections 2.1.1 through 2.1.8 of the Supply Agreement are hereby
amended by deleting such sections in their entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:
2.1.1    Existing Purchase Orders. The Parties agree that all Purchase Orders issued by Spectrum on or prior to the
Second Amendment Effective Date are hereby cancelled, and Spectrum shall have no obligation to purchase any Product
or pay any amounts to Hanmi pursuant to any such Purchase Orders. To the extent Hanmi has any existing Product in
inventory manufactured pursuant to any such Purchase Orders, Hanmi will ship any or all such inventory to Spectrum at
any time at Spectrum’s request, provided that Hanmi’s obligation to store such existing Product shall terminate on the
expiration date of the existing Product.
2.1.2    Additional Purchase Orders. On and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, Hanmi shall Produce and
Deliver Product to Spectrum only upon Spectrum’s request pursuant to Purchase Orders submitted by Spectrum on or
after the Second Amendment Effective Date, with a Delivery Date no sooner than [***] from the date of such Purchase
Order (each such Purchase Order, an “Additional Purchase Orders”). Each Additional Purchase Order shall be subject
to acceptance by Hanmi. If Hanmi accepts an Additional Purchase Order, Hanmi shall deliver the Saleable Products in
accordance with the terms of such Additional Purchase Order and this Agreement. Spectrum will have no minimum
purchase obligations with respect to the Product, provided that each Additional Purchase Order shall be ordered on the
basis of batch sizes of the Product.
CONFIDENTIAL        1

2.1.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price of Product shipped by Hanmi in the first one- year period following the
Commercial Launch (the “Year 1” in table below) shall be US$[***]. The purchase price of the Product shipped in the
second one-year period following the Commercial Launch (the “Year 2” in the table below) shall be US$[***]. The
purchase price of Product shipped in the third one-year period following the Commercial Launch (the “Year 3” in the
table below) shall be US$[***]. After the third one-year period following the Commercial Launch, the purchase price
shall be set quarterly by the Parties based on market conditions, such as an agreed-upon percentage of the average selling
price of the Product, provided that both Parties will use reasonable efforts to reduce COG (including, but not limited to,
Spectrum’s efforts to acquire all relevant regulatory approvals for the Product). For the avoidance of doubt, the purchase
price of the Product shall be determined by the date Hanmi releases the Product from Hanmi’s production site. If the date
of shipment is delayed due to any reason not attributable to Hanmi, the purchase price shall be determined by the
projected release date of such batch (or batches) of the Product set forth in the production plan.
For the avoidance of doubt, and by way of example for clarity in calculating the purchase price, assuming that the
Commercial Launch date is July 1, 2022, the purchase price shall be calculated as follows:
Years from Commercial Launch
Purchase Price (per gram)
Year 1
(July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023)
US$[***]
Year 2
(July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024)
US$[***]
Year 3
(July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025)
US$[***]
Year 4 and onward
(July 1, 2025 - onward)
[***]
3.    Continuing Effect. Except as specifically amended by this Second Amendment, the Supply Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms. Sections or other headings contained in this Second Amendment are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Second Amendment.
4.    Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts with the same force and effect as if each of the
signatories had executed the same instrument.
