WALTHAM, Mass., May 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAG) today announced it has completed the sale of its rights to Intrarosa® (prasterone) to Millicent Pharma Limited, a global pharmaceutical company formed by the Millicent Pharma management team and The Carlyle Group in 2018 that specializes in women’s health and menopause-related conditions, for up to $125 million, including upfront fixed consideration of $20 million and contingent, sales-based milestone payments of up to $105 million.
“As mentioned in our first quarter earnings release, the sale of Intrarosa is an important step in our strategic evolution,” said Scott Myers AMAG’s president and chief executive officer. “We were impressed with Millicent’s commercial capabilities and dedication to women’s healthcare and we are pleased to transition this important therapy into their portfolio. We remain focused on maximizing Feraheme’s value, maintaining patient access to Makena and developing innovative therapies, while managing expenses to help further our goal of achieving profitability in 2020.”
In addition to the upfront consideration of $20 million, AMAG will be entitled to certain sales milestone payments, which include $25 million the first time Intrarosa net sales exceed $65 million during any consecutive 12-month period, a second sales milestone payment of $35 million the first time Intrarosa net sales exceed $115 million during any consecutive 12-month period, and a third milestone payment of $45 million the first time Intrarosa net sales exceed $175 million during any consecutive 12-month period.
The sale of Intrarosa is consistent with AMAG’s previously announced strategic decision to divest its women’s health assets. AMAG has agreed to provide certain transitional services to Millicent Pharma for a limited period of time while Intrarosa is operationally separated from AMAG. AMAG remains committed to the divestiture of Vyleesi and associated expense reductions as previously announced.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC served as exclusive financial advisor and Goodwin Procter LLP served as legal advisor to AMAG in connection with the transaction.
