- 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Zealand mgmt hosted a conference call today to discuss the sale of its lixisenatide revenue stream to $205M cash. All royalties and nearly all milestone payments from Sanofi will now be diverted to Royalty Pharma. Zealand retained its right to receive a milestone payment of $10-15M from Sanofi in 2020. Net proceeds to Zealand will be approximately $150M after factoring for redemption of $24.7M royalty bond and a 13.5% payment to Alkermes. Considering our modest sales projections for lixisenatide products, we believe the transaction is priced fairly. Zealand ended 2Q18 w/ $73.1M cash. Near-term milestones include results from dasiglucagon Phase 3 trial in Acute Severe Hypoglycemia as well as Phase 3 trial initiations for glepaglutide in and dasiglucagon in Congenital Hyperinsulinism."
