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.
