Funding will Provide Biohaven the Resources to Support Biohaven’s Rimegepant Development Program through NDA Filing

Royalty Pharma will also purchase $50 million in common shares of Biohaven at a price of $45.00 per share, representing an approximately 19% premium over the 15-day volume-weighted average price. The participation rate commences at 2.10% on global annual net sales of products up to and equal to $1.5 billion, declining to 1.50% on global annual net sales of products exceeding $1.5 billion. These transactions are expected to provide sufficient cash to fund operations through the end of 2019.

This total of $150 million funding will provide Biohaven the resources to support the rimegepant development program through an NDA filing; the progression of BHV-3500 into a Phase-2 study; the advancement of the glutamate modulator platform; and a further development of the Company’s earlier pipeline and clinical infrastructure.

Coric added that the Company is excited that Royalty Pharma will be joining as investors in Biohaven and looks forward to their participation as it continues to advance its product development candidates into the clinic with the goal of bringing new novel treatments to patients in areas of high unmet need.
