- Potential Milestone Payments: Up to an additional $35 million contingent on worldwide net sales milestones.
- Transaction Scope: Sale of Redhill's 70% interest in Talicia Holdings Inc. (THI).
Material Changes

The Company has entered into a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) to provide services to Apotex for an initial six-month period, with an option for Apotex to extend this by three months for limited services. The filing does not explicitly list new risks or contingencies beyond the standard obligations of the non-compete covenant and the TSA.
