Chimerix announced a $9.3 million agreement to procure TEMBEXA(R) (brincidofovir) with a third party outside of North America, with authorization from the requisite healthcare authority. Chimerix expects to promptly provide treatment courses of TEMBEXA equivalent to the total value of the procurement contract. Execution of this contract will be the responsibility of Chimerix, as it is expected to occur prior to the close of the pending transaction with Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. (Emergent).

In June 2022, Chimerix entered into a definitive agreement with Emergent to sell Chimerix's exclusive worldwide rights to brincidofovir including TEMBEXA, for up to $325 million plus royalties. Any revenue associated with TEMBEXA (brincidofovir) earned prior to closing of the Emergent transaction, and which is unrelated to the BARDA procurement contract (i.e., other U.S. revenue or international revenue), will accrue to Chimerix. For revenue earned after the close of the transaction, Chimerix will receive a 15% royalty on gross profit associated with international revenue and a 20% royalty on gross profit associated with U.S. revenue from sales in excess of 1.7 million treatment courses of therapy.

There are several conditions required for the transaction with Emergent to close, including the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act).
