Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

General

Omeros Corporation (“Omeros,” the “Company” or “we”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting immunologic disorders including complement-mediated diseases, as well as cancers and addictive and compulsive disorders. 

Our clinical-stage development programs include: narsoplimab, our antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 2 (“MASP-2”), the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway of complement; OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2; zaltenibart, also known as OMS906, our antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-3 (“MASP-3”), the key activator of the alternative pathway of complement; and OMS527, our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) inhibitor program.

Clinical development of narsoplimab is currently focused primarily on hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“TA-TMA”). We successfully completed a pivotal clinical trial for narsoplimab in TA-TMA and previously submitted to FDA a biologics license application (“BLA”) seeking marketing approval for narsoplimab in this indication. In late 2021, FDA issued a complete response letter (“CRL”) with respect to the BLA in which the agency indicated that additional information would be needed to support regulatory approval. We appealed FDA’s decision to issue the CRL through a formal dispute resolution process that concluded in late 2022. Although our appeal was denied, the decision identified potential paths for resubmission of the BLA, including paths based on comparison of survival data from our completed pivotal trial previously submitted to FDA an analysis plan to assess survival data from our completed clinical trial, existing data from a historical control population available from an external source, and data from the narsoplimab expanded access program. As a part of our most recent meeting with FDA, in September 2024, we received minor feedback on our proposed statistical analysis plan for the primary endpoint – patient survival in our pivotal narsoplimab trial compared to that in an external registry of TA-TMA patients – which was a limited request to include certain additional sensitivity analyses. Additional sensitivity analyses were quickly incorporated into the plan and sent back to FDA. FDA’s reply is expected in November 2024. We have no other information requests pending and are not aware of any other impediment to resubmitting our narsoplimab BLA. After receiving FDA’s response and, assuming general alignment on the revised plan, we intend to proceed with conducting the primary and secondary efficacy analyses. If the results support resubmission, then we intend to finalize and resubmit our BLA as soon as possible. We are currently unable to provide a specific estimate of when or if we will resubmit the BLA or, subsequently, FDA’s timing for a decision regarding approval. Even if the results of the efficacy analysis are favorable and FDA accepts our resubmitted BLA for review, as with any BLA or new drug application, there can be no guarantee that FDA will approve narsoplimab for TA-TMA.

Our lectin pathway program also includes OMS1029, our long-acting antibody targeting MASP-2. We have completed Phase 1 clinical trials evaluating both single-ascending and multiple ascending doses of OMS1029. Results of these studies support once-quarterly dosing administered either intravenously or subcutaneously. OMS1029 has been well tolerated to date with no safety concerns identified. We are evaluating several potential indications for Phase 2 clinical development of OMS1029.

Our pipeline of clinical-stage complement-targeted therapeutic candidates also includes zaltenibart, a proprietary, patented monoclonal antibody targeting MASP-3, the key activator of the alternative pathway of complement. We have three ongoing clinical trials evaluating zaltenibart for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (“PNH”). The first is in PNH patients who have not previously been treated with a complement inhibitor, and the second is in PNH patients who have had an unsatisfactory response to the C5 inhibitor ravulizumab. The third clinical trial is an open-label extension study to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of zaltenibart in patients who have completed either of the other two PNH Phase 2 clinical trials. We also have an ongoing clinical program evaluating zaltenibart for the treatment of C3G, a rare and debilitating renal disease driven by complement dysregulation.

Our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) inhibitor program, which we refer to as OMS527, comprises multiple PDE7 inhibitor compounds and is based on our discoveries of previously unknown links between PDE7 and any addiction or compulsive disorder, and between PDE7 and any movement disorders. In April 2023, we were awarded a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), part of the National Institutes of Health, to develop, at NIDA’s request, our lead orally administered PDE7 inhibitor compound, for which we have successfully completed a Phase 1 study, for the treatment of cocaine use disorder (“CUD”). NIDA awarded the grant to us for a total of $6.69 million over three years, of which we have claimed and received $1.0 million of funding to date and recognized $0.8 million into Other Income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The grant is intended to support preclinical cocaine interaction/toxicology studies to assess safety of the therapeutic candidate in the presence of concomitant cocaine administration, as well as an in-patient, placebo-controlled clinical study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of OMS527 in adults with CUD who receive concurrent intravenous cocaine. The preclinical study is intended to provide the toxicology data necessary to support the human study of OMS527 in CUD. The toxicology study is underway and is expected to be completed later this year. Assuming that the results support further development, we expect enrollment in the study evaluating OMS527 in adult patients with CUD to begin in 2025, also fully funded by NIDA.

We also have various programs in preclinical research and development.

OMIDRIA Sale and Royalty Monetization Transactions

On December 23, 2021, we closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Rayner Surgical Inc. (“Rayner”) for the sale of our commercial product OMIDRIA and certain related assets including inventory and prepaid expenses. As a result of the divestiture, the results of OMIDRIA activities are classified as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented (See “Note 7 — Discontinued Operations – Sale of OMIDRIA”).

On September 30, 2022, we sold an interest in a portion of our future OMIDRIA royalty receipts to DRI Healthcare Acquisition LP (“DRI”) and received $125.0 million in cash consideration, which we recorded as an OMIDRIA royalty obligation on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Interest expense on the royalty obligation is recorded as a component of continuing operations. 

On February 1, 2024, we sold an expanded interest in our OMIDRIA royalties to DRI and received $115.5 million in cash consideration, which we recorded as an addition to the OMIDRIA royalty obligation. The amended and restated royalty purchase agreement with DRI (the “DRI Amendment”) eliminates the previously existing annual caps on royalty payments after January 1, 2024, and provides that DRI now receives all royalties on U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA payable between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. We are entitled to retain all royalties on net sales of OMIDRIA outside of the United States. (See “Note 8 — OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation”).

Term Loan and Repurchase of 2026 Notes

On June 3, 2024, we, with certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with funds managed by Athyrium Capital Management LP (collectively, “Athyrium”) and funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (collectively, “Highbridge”) as lenders (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility of up to $92.1 million, consisting of an initial term loan of $67.1 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) and a $25.0 million delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), which may be drawn once in full upon notice delivered on or prior to June 3, 2025, conditioned on receipt of FDA approval of narsoplimab in TA-TMA within 30 days of the notice.

Also on June 3, 2024, we used the Initial Term Loan along with $21.2 million of cash on hand, to repurchase from the Lenders $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of our existing 5.25% convertible senior notes due on February 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and such repurchase, the “2026 Note Repurchase Transaction”), which resulted in a $51.0 million reduction in outstanding debt. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased 2026 Notes through the closing date of the transaction. As a post-closing adjustment, we accrued $0.6 million which was paid in July 2024 in additional consideration to a certain Lender. (See “Note 6 — Debt” for a description of the Credit Agreement provisions). 

Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Omeros and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and non-recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of such information. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, from which the December 31, 2023, condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $123.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our cash used in operations was $119.8 million. This includes an $18.4 million charge for delivery of narsoplimab drug substance. In addition, we made a $21.2 million payment to repurchase $118.1 million of our 2026 Notes. Pursuant to a covenant in the Credit Agreement entered on June 3, 2024, we must maintain $25.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at all times.

In recent years, Omeros has incurred net losses from continuing operations and negative cash flows from operations. The recurring losses, in combination with our cash and investment balances as of September 30, 2024, and an expected repayment of a portion of our outstanding debt on or prior to November 2025, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

As we currently do not have an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs, we will need to raise additional capital to accomplish our business plan. We have a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, in an “at the market” equity offering facility through which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock equaling an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million. In addition, our Delayed Draw Term Loan of $25.0 million may be drawn once in full upon notice delivered on or prior to June 3, 2025, conditioned on receipt of FDA approval of narsoplimab in TA-TMA within 30 days of the notice. Proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loan may only be used towards any related transaction costs and for commercialization of narsoplimab efforts of TA-TMA.

We may pursue additional debt financings to retire the 2026 Notes that remain outstanding and to fund operations. Should it be necessary or determined to be strategically advantageous, we may also pursue public and private offerings of our equity securities, additional debt transactions/restructuring, future royalty sales, or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing or selling a portion or all of one or more of our existing technologies . However, pursuing debt financings, certain equity offerings or other strategic transactions may result in mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loan to the Credit Agreement. (See “Note 6 — Debt” for further details).

If these capital resources, for any reason, are needed but inaccessible, it would have a significantly negative impact on our financial condition. For purposes of determining available capital resources, royalty and/or milestone receipts are excluded. Should it be necessary, we plan to manage our operating expenses and reduce our projected cash requirements by delaying clinical trials, reducing selected research and development efforts, or implementing other restructuring activities.

The conditions described above, when evaluated in accordance with the relevant accounting literature, raise substantial doubt with respect to our ability to meet our obligations through November 13, 2025.

​

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates include the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset valuation, the OMIDRIA royalty obligation valuation, stock-based compensation expense, and accruals for clinical trials and manufacturing of drug product. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Note 3—Net Loss Per Share 

Basic net income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. We do not compute Diluted EPS for periods in which we have overall net income and a net loss from continuing operations. 

Potentially dilutive securities are as follows:

Note 4—Investments and Fair-Value Measurements

All of our investments are held in our name and are classified as short-term and held-to-maturity on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is included as a component of other income on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 consists primarily of interest earned of $1.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 consists primarily of interest earned of $7.1 million and $11.7 million, respectively.

The following tables summarize our investments:

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:

Level 1—Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore they are developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

Our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities are as follows:

Cash held in demand deposit accounts of $1.5 million and $7.1 million is excluded from our fair-value hierarchy disclosure as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current monetary assets and liabilities approximate fair value.

See “Note 6 — Debt” and “Note 8 — OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation” for the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our outstanding term loan, convertible senior notes and the OMIDRIA royalty obligation.

Note 5 — Certain Balance Sheet Accounts

OMIDRIA Contract Royalty Asset

The OMIDRIA contract royalty asset consists of the following:

See “Note 7 — Discontinued Operations – Sale of OMIDRIA” for discussion regarding the estimated fair value of our OMIDRIA contract royalty asset.

Note 6—Debt

 ​

2024 Secured Term Loan

On June 3, 2024, we entered into a Credit Agreement with the Lenders, which provides for a term loan credit facility of up to $92.1 million, in aggregate, consisting of an Initial Term Loan of $67.1 million and a Delayed Draw Term Loan of $25.0 million. The Delayed Draw Term Loan may be drawn once in full upon notice delivered on or prior to June 3, 2025, conditioned on receipt of FDA approval of narsoplimab in TA-TMA within 30 days of the notice. The Delayed Draw Term Loan would be issued with an original issue discount of 3.0% and the proceeds may be used only for commercialization of narsoplimab in TA-TMA and transaction costs associated with the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Until the earlier of November 1, 2025 and the date we elect to utilize the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Company, at its sole discretion, may exchange up to $14.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2026 Notes for cash and/or additional term loan amounts, with the holders of such notes becoming Lenders under the Credit Agreement (any such additional term loans, together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Loans”). As of November 13, 2024, no such additional exchanges have occurred. All indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all our tangible and intangible property, subject to customary exceptions, and excluding royalty interests in OMIDRIA^® and certain related rights.

In connection with our entry into the Credit Agreement, we used the Initial Term Loan along with $21.2 million of cash on hand to repurchase $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes held by the Lenders. The total consideration paid at closing of $88.3 million represents a purchase price equal to approximately 75% of the par value of the 2026 Notes retired in the transaction. The reduction in the aggregate outstanding principal balance of our 2026 Notes and incurrence of a new Initial Term Loan resulted in a $51.0 million reduction of our outstanding debt. The $29.8 million difference between the $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and the $88.3 million aggregate repurchase price was recorded as a premium (i.e., an increase) to the long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet instead of being recognized as a gain on early extinguishment of debt. The premium is being amortized as both a non-cash reduction of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss over the duration of the term loan. As a post-closing adjustment, we accrued $0.6 million which was paid in July 2024 in additional cash consideration to a certain Lender.

The amount outstanding on the Initial Term Loan is as follows:

The Loans have a stated maturity date of June 3, 2028 and bear interest at an adjusted secured overnight financing rate (“adjusted SOFR”), subject to a 3.0% floor, plus 8.75% per annum, payable quarterly from the closing date. As of September 30, 2024, the contractual interest rate on the Loans was 13.87%. We have the option to pay all of the interest in cash or to pay 50% in cash and pay-in-kind (“PIK”), the remaining interest. When this provision is elected, interest for the quarter, including both the cash interest and PIK interest, is calculated based on adjusted SOFR plus a 10.25% PIK margin (instead of the customary 8.75% margin). The PIK interest is then added to the outstanding principal balance and interest is computed using the original adjusted SOFR plus 8.75% margin rate. Due to the premium amortization on the Initial Term Loan, interest expense is currently being recognized at an implied effective interest rate of 1.52%.

The following table sets forth interest expense recognized related to the Initial Term Loan:

We may elect to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, in cash, plus an applicable prepayment and/or make-whole premium. Under certain circumstances, we are required to prepay all or a portion of the outstanding Loans, plus an applicable prepayment and/or make-whole premium, as described below.

(1)   If, on November 1, 2025, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes that is not held by the Lenders equals or exceeds $38.5 million and (ii) we have not made or delivered notice that we expect to make certain voluntary or mandatory prepayments under the Credit Agreement of at least $20.0 million in the aggregate, then we would be required, on or prior to November 15, 2025, to make a $20.0 million mandatory prepayment, together with a $1.0 million prepayment premium.

(2)   Upon the occurrence of a change in control, we must prepay the entire outstanding amount of the Loans, plus the applicable make-whole or prepayment premium.

(3)   We must prepay the Loans in an amount equal to: (i) 25.0% of any milestone payments received from DRI or its affiliates on the basis of net sales of OMIDRIA; (ii) 60.0% of the net cash proceeds (excluding transaction expenses and certain milestone payments) received by Omeros from the sale or license of our assets (or in the case of an asset sale or license involving narsoplimab that occurs while any Delayed Draw Term Loan is outstanding, an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds from such transaction); (iii) 100.0% of net cash proceeds of indebtedness incurred by the Company other than as permitted by the Credit Agreement; and (iv) 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance recoveries on loss of property, except to the extent utilized to repair or replace the relevant assets within a specified time.

Voluntary and mandatory prepayments of the Loans are subject to payment of the following premiums: (i) during the first year of such Loans, a make-whole premium plus 5.0% of the applicable prepayment amount (unless the prepayment is made in contemplation of a change of control, in which case only the make-whole premium would be payable); (ii) during the second year, a prepayment premium equal to 5.0% of the applicable prepayment amount; and (iii) during the third year, a prepayment premium equal to 3.0% of the applicable prepayment amount.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary default provisions, representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. These include a covenant requiring us to maintain at all times unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least $25.0 million in accounts subject to control agreements and a covenant limiting the use of cash for open market or privately negotiated repurchases of any outstanding 2026 Notes to: (i) an initial amount not exceeding $25.0 million, which may be increased by up to an additional $10.0 million subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions; (ii) an unlimited amount, if the amount of the Loans outstanding at the time of repurchase does not exceed $38.5 million; and (iii) an additional amount not to exceed 50% of the net cash proceeds from an equity offering, provided that the Company offers to prepay an equal amount of the Loans with the net cash proceeds of such offering. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement. After review of the customary default provisions, affirmative and negative covenants, and voluntary and mandatory prepayment options, this resulted in a net derivative asset that was not significant as of September 30, 2024.

The fair value of the Loans is classified as a Level 3 liability. As of September 30, 2024, the approximate fair value of our Loan obligations was $69.5 million. We determined the fair market value by discounting the future cash flows based on adjusted SOFR at each measurement date.

2023 Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes

We extinguished the $95.0 million outstanding on our 6.25% convertible senior notes (the “2023 Notes”) at par upon maturity on November 15, 2023. The following table sets forth interest expense recognized related to the 2023 Notes.

​

2026 Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes

We have outstanding unsecured convertible senior notes which accrue interest at an annual rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2026 Notes mature on February 15, 2026, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. On June 3, 2024, we completed the 2026 Note Repurchase Transaction, through which we repurchased $118.1 million of principal amount outstanding on our 2026 Notes for total consideration of $88.3 million (approximately 75% of par value), consisting of the Initial Term Loan of $67.1 million and $21.2 million of cash on hand. As discussed above, we paid an additional $0.6 million in cash in July 2024 to certain Lenders as a post-closing adjustment under the 2026 Note Repurchase Transaction. 

Amounts outstanding on our 2026 Notes are as follows:

 ​

Unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.8 million as of September 30, 2024 are amortized to interest expense at an effective interest rate of 5.89% over the remaining term.

The following table sets forth interest expense recognized related to the 2026 Notes:

 ​

The initial conversion rate is 54.0906 shares of our common stock per $1,000 of note principal (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $18.4875 per share of common stock), which equaled approximately 12.2 million shares issuable upon conversion, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

The 2026 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders on or after November 15, 2025 at any time prior to the close of business on February 12, 2026, the second scheduled trading day immediately before the stated maturity date of February 15, 2026. Additionally, holders may convert their 2026 Notes at their option at specified times prior to the maturity date only if:

(1)   during any calendar quarter, the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price of the 2026 Notes for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;

(2)   during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five-consecutive-trading-day period (such five-consecutive-trading-day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;

(3)   there is an occurrence of one or more certain corporate events or distributions of our common stock; or

(4)   we call the 2026 Notes for redemption.

We will settle any conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate(s).

Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we may redeem in whole or in part the 2026 Notes at our option through the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The 2026 Notes are subject to redemption only if certain requirements are satisfied, including that the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice.

In order to reduce the dilutive impact or potential cash expenditure associated with the conversion of the 2026 Notes, we entered into capped call transactions in connection with the issuances of the 2026 Notes (the “2026 Capped Call”). The 2026 Capped Call will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2026 Notes, the number of shares of common stock underlying the 2026 Notes when our common stock is trading within the range of approximately $18.49 and $26.10. However, should the market price of our common stock exceed the $26.10 cap, then the conversion of the 2026 Notes would have an additional dilutive impact or may require a cash expenditure to the extent the market price of our common stock exceeds the cap price. The 2026 Capped Call will expire on various dates over the 50-trading-day period ranging from December 2, 2025 to February 12, 2026, if not exercised earlier. The 2026 Capped Call is a separate transaction and not part of the terms of the 2026 Notes and was executed separately from the issuance of the 2026 Notes. The amount paid for the 2026 Capped Call was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company also retains all potential future value of the capped calls associated with the repurchased 2026 Notes. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 12.2 million shares remained outstanding under the 2026 Capped Call. 

Further, we concluded the 2026 Capped Call qualifies for a derivative scope exception for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity in its balance sheet. Consequently, the fair value of the 2026 Capped Call of $23.2 million is classified as equity, not accounted for as derivatives, and will not be subsequently remeasured.

Minimum Commitments

As of September 30, 2024, the most probable principal payments on our 2026 Notes and Term Loan are as follows. 

Note 7—Discontinued Operations - Sale of OMIDRIA

On December 23, 2021, we sold the rights to OMIDRIA and related assets to Rayner, which is reported as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. 

 ​

In December 2022, we earned a $200.0 million milestone payment upon the occurrence of an event specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement with Rayner. The milestone payment was received in February 2023.

Net income from discontinued operations is as follows:

 ​ ​

The following is a roll forward of the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset (in thousands):

We remeasure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset on a quarterly basis using the expected value approach, which incorporates actual results and future expectations.

Cash flow from discontinued operations is as follows: 

 ​

Net cash provided by discontinued operations primarily represents royalties received and the $200.0 million milestone payment that we collected from Rayner in February 2023. ​All royalties earned on OMIDRIA sales within the U.S. through December 31, 2031 are remitted by Rayner to DRI via an escrow arrangement.

Note 8—OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation 

In September 2022, we sold to DRI an interest in our future OMIDRIA royalty receipts and received $125.0 million in cash consideration, which was recorded as an OMIDRIA royalty obligation on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. DRI was entitled to receive royalties on OMIDRIA net sales between September 1, 2022 and December 31, 2030, subject to annual caps.  

In February 2024, Omeros and DRI expanded their royalty purchase agreement under the DRI Amendment, resulting in Omeros receiving an additional $115.5 million in cash consideration, which we accounted for as a modification of our existing debt from DRI. The DRI Amendment eliminated the annual caps on royalty payments and provides that DRI will receive all royalties on U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA payable between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. 

We retain the right to receive all royalties payable by Rayner on any net sales of OMIDRIA outside the U.S. payable after January 1, 2024, as well as royalties on global net sales of OMIDRIA payable from and after December 31, 2031. To date, international royalties have not been significant. DRI has no recourse to our assets other than its interest in OMIDRIA royalties.

We are also entitled to receive a milestone payment ranging between $10.0 million and $27.5 million if U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA reach applicable thresholds ranging between a total of $156.0 million and $160.0 million for any period of four consecutive quarters prior to January 1, 2026. In addition, we are entitled to receive a separate milestone payment ranging between $8.0 million and $27.5 million if U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA reach applicable thresholds ranging between a total of $181.0 million and $185.0 million for any period of four consecutive quarters prior to January 1, 2028.

The following schedule is a roll forward of the OMIDRIA royalty obligation (in thousands):

We account for the OMIDRIA royalty obligation under the catch-up method. The catch-up method requires that we adjust the carrying amount to match the present value of revised estimated cash flows of Rayner’s U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA. We discounted the OMIDRIA royalty obligation at an implied effective interest rate of 10.27%. 

The OMIDRIA royalty obligation is classified as a Level 3 liability as its valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market. As of September 30, 2024, the approximate fair value of our obligation was $213.4 million. We determined the fair market value by discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the initial contractual rate adjusted for any changes in the prime rate through to the measurement date.

 ​

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred interest expense of $2.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred interest expense of $13.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024, future expected principal and interest payments are as follows:

Good and Service Contracts

We have various agreements with third parties that collectively require payment of termination fees totaling $5.6 million as of September 30, 2024 if we cancel the work within specific time frames, either prior to commencing or during performance of the contracted services.

Development Milestones and Product Royalties

We have entered a variety of development, collaboration, licensing or similar agreements with third parties under which we have accessed technology or services in connection with our development assets and programs. Some of these agreements require milestone payments based on achievements of development, regulatory or sales milestones, and/or low-single to low-double digit royalties on net income or net sales of the relevant product. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, development milestone expenses were not significant. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we paid a third-party licensor $5.0 million in connection with achievement of a development milestone in our zaltenibart program.

Note 11—Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit) 

Common Stock

At the Market Sales Agreement - We have a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million, from time to time, through an “at the market” equity offering program. As of September 30, 2024, we have not sold any shares under this program.

Share Repurchase Program - On November 9, 2023, the Board of Directors approved an indefinite term share repurchase program under which we were authorized to repurchase from time to time up to $50.0 million of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Since inception of the program, we have repurchased and retired 5.0 million shares at an average price of $3.30 per share. During the first quarter of 2024, we repurchased and retired 3.2 million shares of common stock at an average share price of $3.71 at an aggregate cost of $11.9 million. The terms of the Credit Agreement prohibit us from repurchasing our common stock unless expressly agreed to by the Lenders. Consequently, the Board of Directors terminated the share repurchase program effective upon execution of the Credit Agreement.
