Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report, dated December 23, 2021, details a material transaction completed by Omeros Corporation (OMER). The report focuses on the closing of an Asset Purchase Agreement with Rayner Surgical Inc. and Rayner Surgical Group Limited.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
- Cash Proceeds: Approximately $126.0 million received at closing, subject to final adjustments for inventory, fees, prepaid items, and expenses.
- Accounts Receivable: Omeros retained the right to collect all accounts receivable outstanding as of the closing date.
- Use of Proceeds: Net proceeds are designated for general corporate purposes.
- Asset Sold: Commercial product OMIDRIA (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solution) 1% / 0.3% and related assets/liabilities.
Material Changes and Future Revenue Streams
The transaction represents a significant disposition of assets, shifting Omeros from a direct commercial entity for OMIDRIA to a royalty-based revenue model. Key future financial terms include:
- U.S. Royalties (Initial): 50% of net revenue from U.S. sales until the earlier of January 1, 2025, or the achievement of a $200.0 million milestone.
- U.S. Royalties (Subsequent): 30% of net revenue from U.S. sales after the initial period until patent expiration, subject to a potential reduction to 10% if OMIDRIA loses eligibility for separate payment.
- International Royalties: 15% of net revenue from sales outside the United States on a country-by-country basis until patent expiration.
- Milestone Payment: A potential $200.0 million payment if separate payment for OMIDRIA is secured for a continuous period of at least four years prior to January 1, 2025.

Investor Verification Checklist
