PDL BioPharma Reports 2020 Third Quarter Financial Results and Sets Date To File a Certificate of Dissolution

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As a result of the approval by the Company's stockholders on August 19, 2020 to pursue dissolution of the Company, PDL's basis of accounting transitioned, effective September 1, 2020, from the going concern basis of accounting ("Going Concern Basis") to the liquidation basis of accounting ("Liquidation Basis") in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Under the Liquidation Basis, all assets are stated at their estimated liquidation value. Contractual liabilities under the Liquidation Basis are measured in accordance with applicable GAAP and all other liabilities, including costs associated with implementing the wind-down of the Company, are recorded at their estimated settlement amounts over the expected liquidation period.

Given the adoption of the Liquidation Basis on September 1, 2020, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not comparable to prior-year periods or with other interim periods in the current year presented under the Going Concern Basis primarily due to the differing accounting methods. See Table 1 for the results of operations for the two and eight months ended August 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 under the Going Concern Basis.

Under the Liquidation Basis, the values of the Company's assets and liabilities include management's estimate of income to be generated from the remaining assets until the anticipated date of sale, estimated sales proceeds, estimates for operating expenses and expected amounts required to settle liabilities. The estimated liquidation values for assets derived from future revenue streams and asset sales and the settlement of estimated liabilities are reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation in Table 2. The actual amounts realized could differ materially from the estimated amounts. The changes in net assets in liquidation are presented in a Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets. See Table 3 for the changes from September 1, 2020, the date of adoption of Liquidation Basis, to September 30, 2020, the end of the third quarter.

Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation

• As of September 30, 2020, prior to the spin-off of LENSAR, net assets in liquidation were $494.7 million. Please see Table 2.
• Total assets as of September 30, 2020 were $604.0 million and consisted primarily of our remaining royalty assets, LENSAR's assets prior to the spin-off, cash and cash equivalents, and a tax receivable reflecting the amounts expected to be refunded under the CARES Act.
• The CARES Act receivable as of September 30, 2020 is estimated to be $80.5 million and includes, in addition to the losses from operations, the ordinary losses incurred on the Noden transaction and the sale of the royalty assets.
• Total assets also included an Intangible Asset for LENSAR, which reflects the step up in the value of the entity to its enterprise value prior to its spin-off on October 1, 2020. Net assets attributable to LENSAR on September 30, 2020 were $112.4 million.
• Total liabilities as of September 30, 2020 were $109.3 million and consisted primarily of amounts accrued for an ongoing audit by the California Franchise Tax Board for the tax years 2009 through 2015, amounts owed under our convertible notes and amounts accrued for estimated operating expenses to be incurred through dissolution.
• The pro forma column in Table 2 presents the September 30, 2020, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Assets excluding LENSAR's assets and liabilities. It also reflects an estimated $11.8 million reduction in the September 30, 2020 CARES Act receivable resulting from the inclusion in taxable income of the expected gain on the spin-off of LENSAR that will be recorded in the fourth quarter.

Other Financial Highlights

• Net cash received from all royalty rights for the first nine months of 2020 was $42.6 million, down 27% from $58.3 million for the prior-year nine-month period, primarily due to a decline in the net price of Glumetza year over year. See Table 4.
• Regarding royalty rights remaining after the SWK transaction, i.e., royalties on Glumetza and other combination products of metformin using Assertio's modified release technology as well as royalties on sales of Cerdelga, net cash received was $41.8 million first nine months of 2020 and $17.4 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2020.

Stock and Convertible Note Repurchase Program

• In January 2020, PDL began repurchasing shares of its common stock in the open market pursuant to a 10b5-1 program entered into in December 2019 following a $275 million repurchase plan approved by the Board. For the year-to-date 2020, the Company acquired 12.3 million shares of its common stock for $39.4 million, at an average cost of $3.20 per share, including commissions.
• For the year-to-date 2020 under this same repurchase plan, the Company also repurchased $15.9 million par value of convertible notes.
• In consideration of the impact and uncertainty introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's monetization process, the Company discontinued its 10b5-1 program on May 31, 2020.
• Through September 30, 2020, the total amount spent of the $275 million Board authorized repurchase program, including the value of the Company's stock issued in connection with the December 2019 convertible debt exchange, was $213.0 million.
• Pursuant to the stockholders' approval on August 19, 2020 of a plan to dissolve the Company under Delaware state law, a fundamental change provision under PDL's convertible note indentures was triggered that enabled bondholders to tender their bonds for cash settlement totaling the outstanding principal plus accrued interest or, alternatively, to exercise their conversion rights under the indentures. Both options expired near the end of September 2020. No bonds were tendered to PDL for payment, but bondholders holding $11.2 million par value of the 2021 convertible notes exercised their conversion rights. The Company intends to settle the conversion of these notes entirely with cash on hand, which will occur near the end of the fourth quarter of 2020.
• As of October 31, 2020, the Company had approximately 114.2 million shares of common stock outstanding.
