Zymeworks Inc. has entered into a $250 million non-recourse royalty-backed note financing with Royalty Pharma, using 30% of future worldwide tiered royalties on Ziihera (zanidatamab-hrii) from Jazz and BeOne as repayment collateral. The funding is structured through a special-purpose subsidiary that sold a 30% royalty interest and simultaneously borrowed $250 million under a term loan maturing on December 31, 2042.
The total amount payable under the loan is about $412.5 million if fully repaid on or before December 31, 2033, or approximately $481.3 million if repaid by final maturity, inclusive of interest, premiums, fees and other amounts. Zymeworks will retain 70% of Ziihera royalties during the repayment period, with full royalty rights reverting once Royalty Pharma’s capped return is reached, and it keeps all regulatory and commercial milestone payments, including up to $1.5 billion in potential remaining milestones tied to approvals and sales.
The loan is secured only by the subsidiary’s royalty assets and related equity interests, and Royalty Pharma has no recourse to other Zymeworks or Zymeworks BC assets under the agreement. The arrangements include customary covenants, restrictions on modifying key collaboration agreements for Ziihera, and events of default tied to termination of those agreements or a change of control of the company.
