Item 1.01
Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.
 
Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
On February 1, 2024, Omeros Corporation (“Omeros” or the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated royalty purchase agreement (the “Amendment”) with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP (“DRI”) providing for the acquisition by DRI of an expanded interest in certain royalty payments based on annual net sales of Omeros’ former ophthalmologic product OMIDRIA® (the “Purchased Receivables”). The Purchased Receivables comprise a portion of the royalties projected to be paid to Omeros under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) among Omeros, Rayner Surgical Inc. (“Rayner”) and Rayner Surgical Group Limited, pursuant to which the Company sold OMIDRIA and related business assets to Rayner in December 2021.
 
On September 30, 2022, Omeros and DRI entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) under which Omeros received $125 million in cash in exchange for a portion of Omeros’ royalties on global net sales of OMIDRIA payable by Rayner between September 1, 2022 and December 31, 2030, subject to certain annual caps on the royalty amounts payable to DRI, with Omeros entitled to receive all royalties paid in excess of the applicable caps.
 
On February 1, 2024, Omeros and DRI entered into the Amendment to effect the sale to DRI of an expanded interest in the OMIDRIA royalties. The Amendment eliminated the annual caps on royalty payments to which DRI is entitled and provides that DRI will now receive all royalties on U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA payable between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2031. Omeros received $115 million in cash upon closing of the Amendment. Additionally, Omeros is eligible under the Amendment to receive two milestone payments of up to $27.5 million each, payable in January 2026 and January 2028, respectively, based on achievement of certain thresholds for U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA.
 
DRI is entitled to payment only to the extent of royalty payments that are payable in respect of U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA on or before December 31, 2031 and DRI has no recourse to Omeros’ assets other than the Purchased Receivables. Omeros will be entitled to retain all royalties on any net sales of OMIDRIA outside the U.S. payable from and after January 1, 2024, as well as all royalties on global net sales of OMIDRIA payable from and after December 31, 2031. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the term for royalty payments expires based on the last-expiring OMIDRIA-related patent in the relevant country, which in the United States currently extends into 2035. 
 
The Amendment contains other customary terms, conditions and agreements, including representations, warranties and indemnity provisions. Given that this is a partial sale of OMIDRIA royalties, there are no asset pledges or financial covenants. The Amendment will terminate on the the earlier of (i) December 31, 2031, or (ii) the date on which DRI has received the last payment of Purchased Receivables made pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement.
 
The foregoing is a brief description of the material terms of the Amendment and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations thereunder. A copy of the Amendment will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The Amendment contains representations, warranties and other provisions that were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, are solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by such parties. The Amendment is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company.
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections for such statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, which are often indicated by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “likely,” “look forward to,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “slate,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions and variations thereof. Forward-looking statements, including projections or expectations regarding future net sales of OMIDRIA, future payments to Omeros based on net sales of OMIDRIA, the anticipated duration of rights to receive royalty payments and the future reimbursement status of OMIDRIA are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information available to management only as of the date hereof. Omeros’ actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, without limitation, reliance on Rayner or others to successfully generate net sales of OMIDRIA, risks associated with product commercialization and commercial operations, regulatory processes and oversight, payment and reimbursement policies applicable to OMIDRIA and the risks, uncertainties and other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2023. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, and the Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
