(Nasdaq: BBIO) (“BridgeBio” or the “Company”), a new type of biopharmaceutical company focused on genetic diseases, today announced it has sold a portion of royalties due to the Company from sales of BEYONTTRA in Europe to HealthCare Royalty (“HCRx”) and funds managed by Blue Owl Capital (“Blue Owl”) for $300 million. This royalty financing agreement monetizes select anticipated royalties and provides immediate less-dilutive capital to the Company. “We’re excited to partner with HCRx and Blue Owl to strengthen our balance sheet in support of the launch of Attruby and our pipeline of first and best-in-class genetic medicines. This transaction preserves significant upside for our shareholders, with careful structuring that limits annual as well as total payments made to the royalty investors. This financing highlights the strong early start and large global potential of acoramidis,” said Chinmay Shukla, Senior Vice President of Strategic Finance at BridgeBio. Clarke Futch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HCRx commented: “We have been following the progress of acoramidis for years and strongly believe in its potential to positively impact the lives of patients living with ATTR-CM. This investment exemplifies HCRx’s commitment to supporting innovation in the biopharmaceutical industry and we are pleased to collaborate with BridgeBio on this transaction.” “We are pleased to continue our support of BridgeBio through this royalty monetization transaction,” said Sandip Agarwala, Managing Director and Head of Life Sciences at Blue Owl. “This investment reflects our confidence in BEYONTTRA commercial potential and our commitment to providing flexible capital solutions that help advance life-saving therapies.” Under the terms of the agreement, BridgeBio has received $300 million from HCRx and Blue Owl managed funds in exchange for 60% of royalties on the first $500 million of annual BEYONTTRA net sales in Europe. The agreement includes an initial cap of 1.45x. Once the applicable cap is met, no further payments will be owed to the investors. In March 2024, BridgeBio entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Bayer Consumer Care AG to commercialize BEYONTTRA in Europe for the treatment for ATTR‑CM. To date, BridgeBio has received $210 million in upfront and regulatory milestones, and anticipates receiving a further $75 million in near-term milestone payments, along with tiered royalties starting in the low‑30% range on net sales of BEYONTTRA in Europe.
