This is payable plus a pair of non-tradeable CVR (contingent value rights) collectively worth around $1 per share. The first $0.50 per share CVR is payable when GOCOVRI net sales of $150 million are achieved in four consecutive quarters in 2024.
The second $0.50 per share CVR is payable when GOCOVRI net sales of $225 million are completed in 2025. The deal is to be done by the end of the 2022 first quarter.
This deal will provide the company with two marketed products. OSMOLEX, approved to treat drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions and Parkinson’s disease. And GOCOVRI, the pioneer FDA-approved medication to treat dyskinesia in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Senior Management

Substantial overlaps of the existing structures produced $60 to $80 million potential synergies.
