Pharmakon Advisors, LP, the investment manager of the Company, notes the announcement released on 27 June 2025 by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("BioCryst") regarding entering into a definitive agreement to sell its European ORLADEYO® (berotralsat) business to Neopharmed Gentili for up to US$264 million (the "Transaction"). BioCryst expects to close the sale by early October and plans to use the proceeds from the Transaction to retire all remaining term debt of US$248.7 million existing under the existing loan agreement with its lenders, including US$99.5 million owed to the Company.

 

Pursuant to the senior secured loan agreement, in connection with the Transaction and the repayment of outstanding principal, the Company is expected to receive a prepayment premium of 3 per cent. with respect to the principal repaid. For illustrative purposes, if the Transaction were to close on 1 October 2025, the Company would be expected to receive approximately US$3 million in prepayment fees.
