NOTE 3—GQ BIO THERAPEUTICS ACQUISITION

On February 27, 2025, Pacira Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, executed a securities purchase agreement to acquire the remaining 81% of GQ Bio for $30.6 million, net of working capital adjustments. Prior to the GQ Bio Acquisition, the Company owned approximately 19% of GQ Bio. Included in the securities purchase agreement are payments of $7.8 million related to two employees’ payments to be recognized over three years pursuant to a key employee holdback agreement in increments of 50%, 30% and 20% at each year’s respective anniversary. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company accrued key employee holdback expenses of $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The key employee holdback is subject to continued employment, and therefore the accrued payments are recognized as research and development expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.GQ Bio was a privately-held biopharmaceutical company with a novel, high-capacity, local-delivery platform that makes genetic medicines more efficient and enables the use of large and multiple gene constructs. PCRX-201 is the lead program from this platform. By acquiring GQ Bio, the Company benefits from further developing PCRX-201 and the cost savings associated with no longer being obligated to make milestone and royalty payments, as well as establishing a research and development engine with a dedicated workforce focused on this next-generation of genetic medicine and acquiring a portfolio of preclinical assets.
