NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
Insmed is a global biopharmaceutical company on a mission to transform the lives of patients with serious and rare diseases. The Company's first commercial product, ARIKAYCE, is approved in the United States (US) as ARIKAYCE® (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension), in Europe as ARIKAYCE Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion and in Japan as ARIKAYCE inhalation 590mg (amikacin sulfate inhalation drug product). ARIKAYCE received accelerated approval in the US in September 2018 for the treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options in a refractory setting. In October 2020, the European Commission (EC) approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have cystic fibrosis (CF). In March 2021, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. NTM lung disease caused by MAC (which the Company refers to as MAC lung disease) is a rare and often chronic infection that can cause irreversible lung damage and can be fatal. The Company's clinical-stage pipeline includes brensocatib and treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP). Brensocatib is a small molecule, oral, reversible inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1), which the Company is developing for the treatment of patients with bronchiectasis and other neutrophil-mediated diseases. TPIP is an inhaled formulation of the treprostinil prodrug treprostinil palmitil which may offer a differentiated product profile for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and other rare pulmonary disorders.
The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on November 29, 1999 and its principal executive offices are located in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The Company has legal entities in the US, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), and Japan.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the US for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company had $846.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and reported a net loss of $321.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Historically, the Company has funded its operations through public offerings of equity securities and debt financings. The Company commenced commercial shipments of ARIKAYCE in October 2018. The Company expects to continue to incur consolidated operating losses, including losses in its US and certain international entities, while funding research and development (R&D) activities for ARIKAYCE, brensocatib, TPIP and its other pipeline programs, and continuing and commencing pre-commercial, commercialization and regulatory activities for ARIKAYCE, and funding other general and administrative activities.
The Company expects its future cash requirements to be substantial, and the Company may need to raise additional capital to fund operations, including the continued commercialization of ARIKAYCE and additional clinical trials related to ARIKAYCE, to develop brensocatib and TPIP and to develop, acquire, in-license or co-promote other products or product candidates, including those that address a broad range of rare diseases. The source, timing and availability of any future financing or other transaction will depend principally upon continued progress in the Company’s commercial, regulatory and development activities. Any equity or debt financing will also be contingent upon equity and debt market conditions and interest rates at the time. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient additional funds when required, the Company may be forced to delay, restrict or eliminate all or a portion of its development programs or commercialization efforts. The Company believes it currently has sufficient funds to meet its financial needs for at least the next 12 months.
Risks and Uncertainties - There are many uncertainties regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how the pandemic will impact its patients, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. While the pandemic did not materially affect the Company's financial results and business operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following are the required interim disclosure updates to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020:
Fair Value Measurements - The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, are as follows:
•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the assets or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
•Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Each major category of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is categorized based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments in Level 1 generally include US treasuries and mutual funds listed in active markets. The Company's cash and cash equivalents permit daily redemption and the fair values of these investments are based upon the quoted prices in active markets provided by the holding financial institutions.
The following table shows assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their carrying value (in millions):

The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, new Level 2 and Level 3 liabilities were added in connection with the Company's acquisitions of Motus Biosciences, Inc. (Motus) and AlgaeneX, Inc. (AlgaeneX) in August 2021 (the Business Acquisition). There were no

The Company reviews the status of each security quarterly to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The Company has determined that there were no other-than-temporary impairments during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. In making its determination, the Company considers a number of factors, including: (1) the significance of the decline; (2) whether the securities were rated below investment grade; (3) how long the securities have been in an unrealized loss position; and (4) the Company's ability and intent to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time for it to recover.
Deferred Consideration
The deferred consideration arose from the Business Acquisition in August 2021 (see Note 13). The Company is obligated to issue to Motus equityholders an aggregate of 184,433
The deferred consideration has been classified as a Level 2 recurring liability as its valuation utilizes an input, the Insmed share price on the valuation date, which is a directly observable input at the measurement date and for the duration of the liabilities' anticipated lives. Deferred consideration expected to be settled within twelve months or less is classified as a current liability and are included in accrued liabilities. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of deferred consideration included in accrued liabilities was $5.1 million. Deferred consideration expected to be settled in more than twelve months are classified as a non-current liability and are included in other long-term liabilities. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of deferred consideration included in other long-term liabilities was $10.1 million.
The following observable input was used in the valuation of the deferred consideration as of September 30, 2021:
| Fair Value as of September 30, 2021 (in millions) | Observable Input | Input Value | |||||||||
| Deferred consideration | $ | Insmed share price on the valuation date | $ | ||||||||
Contingent Consideration
The contingent consideration liabilities arose from the Business Acquisition in August 2021 (see Note 13). The contingent consideration liabilities consist of developmental and regulatory milestones, a pediatric voucher milestone and net sales milestones. Upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestone events, the Company is obligated to issue to Motus equityholders up to 5,348,572 shares in the aggregate. The fair value of the development and regulatory milestones are estimated utilizing a probability-adjusted approach. At September 30, 2021, the weighted average probability of success was 42 %. The development and regulatory milestones will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock.
If the Company were to receive a priority review voucher, the Company is obligated to pay to the Motus equityholders a portion of the value of the priority review voucher, subject to certain reductions. The potential payout will be either 50 % of the proceeds received by the Company from a sale of the priority review voucher or 50 % of the average of the sales prices for the last three publicly disclosed priority review voucher sales, less certain adjustments. The fair value of the priority review voucher milestone is estimated utilizing a probability-adjusted discounted cash flow approach. This milestone will be settled in cash.
The contingent consideration liabilities for net sales milestones were valued using an option pricing model with Monte Carlo simulation. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of these net sales milestones were deemed immaterial to the overall fair value of the contingent consideration.
The contingent consideration liabilities have been classified as a Level 3 recurring liability as its valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market. If different assumptions were used for the inputs to the valuation approach, the estimated fair value could be significantly different than the fair value the Company determined. Contingent consideration liabilities expected to be settled in more than twelve months are classified as a non-current liability. A valuation of the contingent consideration liabilities is performed quarterly with gains and losses included within change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The following significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of the contingent consideration liabilities as of September 30, 2021 (in millions):

| Development and regulatory milestones | $ | Probability-adjusted | Probabilities of success | |||||||||||
| Priority review voucher milestone | $ | Probability-adjusted discounted cash flow | Probability of success | |||||||||||
| Discount rate | ||||||||||||||
Convertible Notes
The estimated fair value of the liability component of the Company's 0.75 % convertible senior notes due 2028 (the 2028 Convertible Notes) (categorized as a Level 2 liability for fair value measurement purposes) as of September 30, 2021 was $636.2 million, determined using current market factors and the ability of the Company to obtain debt on comparable terms to the 2028 Convertible Notes. The $371.5 million carrying value of the 2028 Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2021 excludes the $193.7 million and $9.8 million of the unamortized portion of the debt discount and issuance costs, respectively.
The estimated fair value of the liability component of the Company's 1.75 % convertible senior notes due 2025 (the 2025 Convertible Notes) (categorized as a Level 2 liability for fair value measurement purposes) as of September 30, 2021 was $218.1 million, determined using current market factors and the ability of the Company to obtain debt on comparable terms to the 2025 Convertible Notes. The $186.1 million carrying value of the 2025 Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2021 excludes the $36.6 million and $2.3 million of the unamortized portion of the debt discount and issuance costs, respectively.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions and may invest its short-term investments in US treasury securities, mutual funds and government agency bonds. The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity.
The Company is exposed to risks associated with extending credit to customers related to the sale of products. The Company does not require collateral to secure amounts due from its customers. The Company uses an expected loss methodology to calculate allowances for trade receivables. The Company's measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company does not currently have a material allowance for collectible trade receivables. The following table presents the percentage of total gross product revenue represented by the Company's three largest customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The Company relies on third-party manufacturers and suppliers for manufacturing and supply of its products. The inability of the suppliers or manufacturers to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could materially impact future operating results. A change in the relationship with the suppliers or manufacturers, or an adverse change in their business, could materially impact future operating results.
Revenue Recognition - In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services provided. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. For all contracts that fall into the scope of ASC 606, the Company has identified one performance obligation: the sale of ARIKAYCE to its customers. The Company has not incurred or capitalized any incremental costs associated with obtaining contracts with customers.
Product revenues, net consist primarily of net sales of ARIKAYCE in the US. The Company's customers in the US include specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors. In December 2020, the Company began recognizing product revenue from commercial sales of ARIKAYCE in Europe. In July 2021, the Company began recognizing product revenue from commercial sales of ARIKAYCE in Japan. Globally, product revenues are recognized once the Company performs and satisfies all five steps mentioned above.
Revenue is recorded at net selling price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established for (a) customer credits, such as invoice discounts for prompt pay, (b) estimated government rebates, such as Medicaid and Medicare Part D reimbursements, and estimated managed care rebates, (c) estimated chargebacks, and (d) estimated costs of co-payment assistance. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (prompt pay discounts and chargebacks), prepaid expenses (co-payment assistance), or as a current liability (rebates). Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company's historical experience,
12
current contractual and statutory requirements, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company's best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the applicable contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company's estimates. If actual results in the future vary from estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.
Customer credits: The Company's customers are offered various forms of consideration, including prompt payment discounts. The payment terms for sales to specialty pharmacies for prompt payment discounts are based on contractual rates agreed with the respective specialty pharmacies. The Company anticipates that its customers will earn these discounts and, therefore, deducts the full amount of these discounts from total gross product revenues at the time such revenues are recognized.
Rebates: The Company contracts with government agencies and managed care organizations, or collectively, third-party payors, so that ARIKAYCE will be eligible for purchase by, or partial or full reimbursement from, such third-party payors. The Company estimates the rebates it will provide to third-party payors and deducts these estimated amounts from total gross product revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability. The current liability is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the rebates that it will provide to third-party payors based upon (i) the Company's contracts with these third-party payors, (ii) the government mandated discounts applicable to government-funded programs, (iii) a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for the estimated payor mix, and (iv) information obtained from the Company's specialty pharmacies.
Chargebacks: Chargebacks are discounts that occur when certain contracted customers, currently public health service institutions and federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, purchase directly from the Company's specialty distributor. Contracted customers generally purchase the product at a discounted price and the specialty distributor, in turn, charges back to the Company the difference between the price the specialty distributor initially paid and the discounted price paid by the contracted customers. The Company estimates chargebacks provided to the specialty distributor and deducts these estimated amounts from gross product revenues, and from accounts receivable, at the time revenues are recognized.
Co-payment assistance: Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance. Based upon the terms of the program and information regarding programs provided for similar specialty pharmaceutical products, the Company estimates the average co-pay mitigation amounts and the percentage of patients that it expects to participate in the program in order to establish accruals for co-payment assistance. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. The Company adjusts its accruals for co-pay assistance based on actual redemption activity and estimates of future redemptions related to sales in the current period.
If any, or all, of the Company's actual experience varies from its estimates, the Company may need to adjust prior period accruals, affecting revenue in the period of adjustment.
The Company also recognizes revenue related to various early access programs (EAPs) in Europe, including France. EAPs are intended to make products available on a named patient basis before they are commercially available in accordance with local regulations.
Inventory and Cost of Product Revenues (excluding amortization of intangible assets) - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company began capitalizing inventory costs following FDA approval of ARIKAYCE in September 2018. Inventory is sold on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company periodically reviews inventory for expiry and obsolescence and, if necessary, writes down accordingly. If quality specifications are not met during the manufacturing process, such inventory is written off to cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangible assets) in the period identified.
Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangible assets) consist primarily of direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE sold, including third-party manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight, and allocation of overhead costs, in addition to royalty expenses and revenue-based milestone payments. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates actual cost, and assumes a FIFO flow of goods.
13
Business combinations and asset acquisitions - The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs, which would meet the requirements of a business. If determined to be a business combination, the Company accounts for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations”, which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities, and non-controlling interest in the acquiree based on the fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.
The consideration for the Company’s business acquisitions may include future payments that are contingent upon the occurrence of a particular event or events. The obligations for such contingent consideration payments are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The contingent consideration obligations are then evaluated each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, other than changes due to payments, are recognized as a gain or loss and recorded within change in the fair value of deferred and contingent consideration liabilities in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
If determined to be an asset acquisition, the Company accounts for the transaction under ASC 805-50, which requires the acquiring entity in an asset acquisition to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the cost to the acquiring entity on a relative fair value basis, which includes transaction costs in addition to consideration given. No gain or loss is recognized as of the date of acquisition unless the fair value of non-cash assets given as consideration differs from the assets’ carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s books. Consideration transferred that is non-cash will be measured based on either the cost (which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given) or the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, whichever is more reliably measurable. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition and any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the identifiable assets based on relative fair values.
Contingent consideration payments in asset acquisitions are recognized when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable (unless the contingent consideration meets the definition of a derivative, in which case the amount becomes part of the basis in the asset acquired). Upon recognition of the contingent consideration payment, the amount is included in the cost of the acquired asset or group of assets.
14
Leases - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use (ROU) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet.
A lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of explicitly or implicitly identified property, plant or equipment in exchange for consideration. Control of an asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the asset or the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company recognizes ROU assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future, fixed lease payments over the term of the arrangement. ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or are amortized based on consumption, if this approach is more representative of the pattern in which benefit is expected to be derived from the underlying asset. Lease liabilities accrete to yield and are reduced at the time when the lease payment is payable to the vendor. Variable lease payments are recognized at the time when the event giving rise to the payment occurs and are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the same line item as expenses arising from fixed lease payments.
In accordance with Topic 842, leases are measured at present value using the rate implicit in the lease or, if the implicit rate is not determinable, the lessee's implicit borrowing rate. As the implicit rate is not typically available, the Company uses its implicit borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The implicit borrowing rate approximates the rate the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments.
Refer to Note 7 - Leases for details about the Company's lease portfolio, including Topic 842 required disclosures.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value and consists of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. The Company began capitalizing inventory costs following FDA approval of ARIKAYCE in September 2018 and has not recorded any significant inventory write-downs since that time. The Company currently uses a limited number of third-party contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) to produce its inventory.
4. Intangibles, Net
As of September 30, 2021, the Company's identifiable intangible assets consisted of acquired ARIKAYCE R&D, acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) from the Business Acquisition (see Note 13), and milestones paid to PARI for the license to use PARI's Lamira® Nebulizer System for the delivery of ARIKAYCE to patients as a result of the FDA and EC approvals of ARIKAYCE in September 2018 and October 2020, respectively. Intangibles, net was $75.1 million and $49.3 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The Company began amortizing its acquired ARIKAYCE R&D and PARI milestones intangible assets in October 2018, over ARIKAYCE's initial regulatory exclusivity period of 12 years. Amortization of intangible assets during each of the next five years is estimated to be approximately $5.1 A rollforward of the Company's intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows (in thousands):

7. Leases
The Company's lease portfolio consists primarily of office space, manufacturing facilities, research equipment and fleet vehicles. All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases, except for the Company's corporate headquarters lease, which is classified as a finance lease. The terms of the Company's lease agreements that have commenced range from less than one year to ten years, ten months . In its assessment of the term of each such lease, the Company has not included any options to extend or terminate the lease due to the absence of economic incentives in its lease agreements. Leases that qualify for treatment as a short-term lease are expensed as incurred. These short-term leases are not material to the Company's financial position. Furthermore, the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. The Company's leases do not contain residual value guarantees and it does not sublease any of its leased assets.
The Company outsources its manufacturing operations to CMOs. Upon review of the agreements with its CMOs, the Company determined that these contracts contain embedded leases for dedicated manufacturing facilities. The Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the manufacturing facilities, has the right to direct how and for what purpose the facility is used throughout the period of use, and the supplier does not have the right to change the operating instructions of the facility. The operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities associated with the manufacturing facilities is the sum of the minimum guarantees over the life of the production contracts.
17
The Company also records variable consideration for variable lease payments in excess of fixed fees or minimum guarantees. Variable consideration related to the Company's leasing arrangements was $4.2 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $4.6 million and $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Variable costs related to CMO manufacturing agreements are direct costs related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE and are capitalized within inventory in the Company's consolidated balance sheet, while the variable costs related to other leasing arrangements, not related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE, have been classified within operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

8. Debt
In May 2021, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes, in which the Company sold $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes, including the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase an additional $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes. The Company's net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses of $15.7 million, were approximately $559.3 million. The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2021. The 2028 Convertible Notes mature on June 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased.
In January 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of the 2025 Convertible Notes, in which the Company sold $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes, including the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company's net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses of $14.2 million, were approximately $435.8 million. The 2025 Convertible Notes bear interest payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2018. The 2025 Convertible Notes mature on January 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased.
A portion of the net proceeds from the 2028 Convertible Notes was used to repurchase $225.0 million of the Company's outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $17.7 million, primarily related to the premium paid on extinguishment of a portion the 2025 Convertible Notes.
On or after October 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding January 15, 2025, holders may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes at any time. The initial conversion rate for the 2025 Convertible Notes is 25.5384 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $39.16 per share of common stock). On or after March 1, 2028, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding June 1, 2028, holders may convert their 2028 Convertible Notes at any time. The initial conversion rate for the 2028 Convertible Notes is 30.7692 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $32.50 per share of common stock). Upon conversion of either the 2025 Convertible Notes or the 2028 Convertible Notes, holders may receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the
18
Company's option. The conversion rates will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.
Holders may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes prior to October 15, 2024 or their 2028 Convertible Notes prior to March 1, 2028, only under the following circumstances, subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable indenture: (i) during the five five 98 45 10 10 30 20 30 130
Each series of convertible notes can be settled in cash, common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock at the Company's option, and thus, the Company determined the embedded conversion options in both series of convertible notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative. However, since the convertible notes are within the scope of the accounting guidance for cash convertible instruments, the Company is required to separate each series of convertible notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component of each series of convertible notes as of the date of issuance was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that did not have an associated equity component. The fair value was based on data from readily available pricing sources which utilize market observable inputs and other characteristics for similar types of instruments. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the embedded conversion option for each series of convertible notes was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the gross proceeds of the applicable convertible notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount is amortized to interest expense over the expected life of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component using the effective interest method. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification in the accounting guidance for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The fair value of the liability component of the 2025 Convertible Notes on the date of issuance was estimated at $309.1 million using an effective interest rate of 7.6 % and, accordingly, the residual equity component on the date of issuance was $140.9 million. The fair value of the liability component of the 2028 Convertible Notes on the date of issuance was estimated at $371.6 million using an effective interest rate of 7.1 % and, accordingly, the residual equity component on the date of issuance was $203.4 million. The respective discounts are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the applicable series of convertible notes and have remaining periods of approximately 3.29 years, with respect to the 2025 Convertible Notes, and 6.67 years, with respect to the 2028 Convertible Notes.

11. Income Taxes
The Company recorded a (benefit) provision for income taxes of $(2.6 ) million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $(1.7 ) million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to the partial reversal of a valuation allowance as a result of the Company's recent Business Acquisition (see note 13). The Company recorded a provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily as a result of certain of the Company's international subsidiaries, which had taxable income during the period. Additionally, the Company is impacted by certain state taxes which effectively impose income tax on modified gross revenues. In jurisdictions where the Company has net losses, there was a full valuation allowance recorded against the Company's deferred tax assets and therefore no
The Company is subject to US federal and state income taxes and the statute of limitations for tax audit is open for the Company's federal tax returns for the years ended 2017 and later, and is generally open for certain states for the years 2016 and later. The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception, except for the year ended December 31, 2009. Such loss carryforwards would be subject to audit in any tax year in which those losses are utilized, notwithstanding the year of origin. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits against certain deferred tax assets in the US. However, given the Company’s valuation allowance position, these reserves do not have an impact on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 or the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company has no
On March 27, 2020, the US government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) which includes numerous modifications to income tax provisions, including a limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions and the acceleration of alternative minimum tax credits. Given the Company's history of losses, the CARES Act did not impact its income tax positions.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Rent expense charged to operations was $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcomes of these matters are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

milestones and a portion of the value of a priority review voucher (to the extent issued to the Company), in each case, subject to certain reductions.
At the closing of the Company’s acquisition of AlgaeneX, the Company paid $1.5 million in cash to AlgaeneX’s former stockholders and certain individuals who are entitled to receive a portion of the acquisition consideration (collectively, the AlgaeneX equityholders). The Company is obligated to issue to AlgaeneX’s equityholders an aggregate of 368,867 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the achievement of a development milestone event and pay to AlgaeneX equityholders a mid-single digits licensing fee on certain future payments received by the Company in licensing transactions for AlgaeneX’s manufacturing technology, in each case, subject to certain reductions.
The shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Motus equityholders and the AlgaeneX equityholders were issued, and the shares issuable in the future will be issued, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the numbers of such issued and issuable shares was calculated based on a per share value of $27.11
The Company evaluated the Business Acquisition under ASC 805, Business Combinations and ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The Company concluded that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. The transaction does not pass the screen test and thus management performed a full assessment to determine if the acquired entities met the definition of a business. For the full assessment, management considered whether it has acquired (a) inputs, (b) substantive processes, and (c) outputs. Under ASC 805, to be considered a business, a set of activities and assets is required to have only the first two of the three elements, which together are or will be used in the future to create outputs. Management determined that the acquired entities met the definition of a business since the Company acquired inputs and substantive processes capable of producing outputs.
Therefore, the transaction has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, the total purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values as of the date of the acquisition.
The fair value of the consideration totaled approximately $165.5 million, summarized as follows (in thousands):
| Fair Value of Consideration | |||||
| Cash consideration | $ | ||||
| Fair value of Insmed common stock issued | |||||
| Estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities | |||||
| Estimated fair value of deferred consideration | |||||
| $ | |||||
The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition based on the information available at that date. As the Company finalizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period and such adjustments could be material. The Company will reflect measurement period adjustments, if any, in the period in which the adjustments are recognized. No adjustments have been made as of the acquisition date through the period ended September 30, 2021. The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands).

The Company incurred approximately $0.6 million in acquisition-related expenses, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the periods ended September 30, 2021. The results of Motus's and AlgaeneX's operations have been included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss beginning on the acquisition date.
The fair value of IPR&D was capitalized as of the acquisition date and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or disposition of the assets or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon successful completion of the development efforts, the useful lives of the IPR&D assets will be determined based on the anticipated period of regulatory exclusivity and will be amortized within operating expenses. Until that time, the IPR&D assets will be subject to impairment testing and will not be amortized. The goodwill recorded related to the acquisition is the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquirer over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for tax purposes.

OVERVIEW
We are a global biopharmaceutical company on a mission to transform the lives of patients with serious and rare diseases. Our first commercial product, ARIKAYCE, is approved in the US as ARIKAYCE® (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension), in Europe as ARIKAYCE Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion and in Japan as ARIKAYCE inhalation 590mg (amikacin sulfate inhalation drug product). ARIKAYCE received accelerated approval in the US in September 2018 for the treatment of MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options in a refractory setting. In October 2020, the EC approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have CF. In March 2021, Japan's MHLW approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. NTM lung disease caused by MAC (which we refer to as MAC lung disease) is a rare and often chronic infection that can cause irreversible lung damage and can be fatal.
Our clinical-stage pipeline includes brensocatib and TPIP. Brensocatib is a small molecule, oral, reversible inhibitor of DPP1, which we are developing for the treatment of patients with bronchiectasis and other neutrophil-mediated diseases. TPIP is an inhaled formulation of the treprostinil prodrug treprostinil palmitil which may offer a differentiated product profile for PAH and other rare pulmonary disorders.

The table below summarizes the current status and anticipated milestones for ARIKAYCE and our product candidates brensocatib and TPIP.
| Principal Product/Product Candidate | Status | Next Expected Milestones | ||||||||||||
| ARIKAYCE for MAC lung disease | • We continue to focus on the commercialization of ARIKAYCE in the US. The product was granted accelerated approval by the FDA for the treatment of refractory MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients who have limited or no alternative treatment options. We began commercial shipments of ARIKAYCE in October 2018. • In October 2020, the FDA approved a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for ARIKAYCE, adding important efficacy data regarding the durability and sustainability of culture conversion to the ARIKAYCE label. • In October 2020, the EC approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have CF. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we launched ARIKAYCE in Germany. In February 2021, we launched ARIKAYCE in the Netherlands. In September 2021, we launched ARIKAYCE in Wales. • In December 2020, we commenced the post-approval confirmatory frontline clinical trial program for ARIKAYCE in patients with MAC lung disease. The frontline clinical trial program consists of the ARISE trial and the ENCORE trial. We are currently enrolling patients for these trials, and are running these global studies in parallel. • In March 2021, Japan's MHLW approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. In July 2021, we launched ARIKAYCE in Japan. | • In addition to our launches in Germany, the Netherlands and Wales, we plan to launch in other European countries, subject to local reimbursement processes. • We will continue to advance the post-approval confirmatory, frontline clinical trial program for ARIKAYCE, through the ARISE trial and the ENCORE trial, which are intended to fulfill the FDA's post-marketing requirement to allow for the full approval of ARIKAYCE in the US, as well as to support the use of ARIKAYCE as a frontline treatment for patients with MAC lung disease in the US, Europe and Japan. | ||||||||||||

| Principal Product/Product Candidate | Status | Next Expected Milestones | ||||||||||||
Brensocatib (oral reversible inhibitor of DPP1) for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) and other inflammatory diseases | • In June 2020, we announced full results from our global, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 2 WILLOW study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of brensocatib administered once daily in adults with NCFBE. Final results from the WILLOW study were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine in September 2020. • Full results for the WILLOW study reflect that the study met its primary endpoint of time to first pulmonary exacerbation over the 24-week treatment period for both the 10 mg and 25 mg dosage groups of brensocatib compared to placebo (p=0.027, p=0.044, respectively). In addition, treatment with 10mg brensocatib resulted in a significant reduction in the rate of pulmonary exacerbations, a key secondary endpoint. Patients treated with brensocatib experienced a 36% reduction in the 10 mg arm (p=0.041) and a 25% reduction in the 25 mg arm (p=0.167) versus placebo. • In June 2020, the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation for brensocatib for the treatment of adult patients with NCFBE for reducing exacerbations. • In November 2020, brensocatib was granted access to the Priority Medicines (PRIME) scheme from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for patients with NCFBE. • In December 2020, we commenced a Phase 3 trial (the ASPEN trial) through which we will seek to confirm the positive results seen in the WILLOW study. We are currently enrolling patients for this trial, which is designed to investigate brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis. The primary endpoint is the rate of pulmonary exacerbations over a 52-week treatment period. Patients with bronchiectasis due to CF may not be enrolled in the trial. | • We will continue to advance the ASPEN trial, to seek to confirm the positive results seen in the WILLOW trial and to support a new drug application (NDA) for brensocatib for the treatment of adult patients with bronchiectasis. • We are advancing a clinical development program for brensocatib in CF. The CF Therapeutics Development Network has endorsed our study protocol for brensocatib in CF. The process for initiating study sites for the Phase 2 pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics multiple-dose study is underway and we are on track to share results in 2022. • We plan to explore the potential of brensocatib in additional neutrophil-mediated diseases. | ||||||||||||
TPIP (inhalation formulation of a treprostinil prodrug) for PAH and other rare pulmonary disorders | • In December 2020, we completed dosing of subjects in a Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of TPIP. • In February 2021, we announced topline results from the Phase 1 study of TPIP in healthy volunteers. Data from the study demonstrated that TPIP was generally well tolerated, with a pharmacokinetic profile that supports continued development with once-daily dosing. • In August 2021, we presented data from the Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial of TPIP in an oral session at the European Society of Cardiology Congress. | • We are advancing the development of TPIP with two studies in patients with PAH. The first is an open-label, proof-of-mechanism study to understand the impact of TPIP on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) over a 24-hour period. We anticipate having preliminary data from a small number of patients in this study by the end of 2021. The second will evaluate the effect of TPIP on PVR and 6-minute walk distance over a 16-week treatment period using an up-titration, once-daily dosing schedule. We plan to initiate study sites by the end of 2021. • Beyond PAH, we continue to explore potential development pathways for TPIP in patients with other rare pulmonary disorders, including pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). We plan to initiate a Phase 2 study in patients with PH-ILD using an up-titration, once-daily dosing schedule in early 2022. | ||||||||||||
28
Our earlier-stage pipeline includes preclinical compounds that we are evaluating in multiple rare diseases with unmet medical need. To complement our internal research and development, we actively evaluate in-licensing and acquisition opportunities for a broad range of rare diseases.
Our Strategy
Our strategy focuses on the needs of patients with rare diseases. We secured accelerated approval for ARIKAYCE from the FDA for the treatment of refractory MAC lung disease in patients with limited or no alternative treatment options, and currently are primarily focused on the successful commercialization of ARIKAYCE. In Europe, we secured EC approval of ARIKAYCE for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have cystic fibrosis. We also recently secured Japan's MHLW approval of ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. We are not aware of any other approved inhaled therapies specifically indicated to treat MAC lung disease in North America, Europe or Japan. We believe that ARIKAYCE has the potential to prove beneficial in other patients with MAC. Our product candidates are brensocatib, our Phase 3 product candidate which we are developing for patients with bronchiectasis and potentially other neutrophil-mediated diseases, and TPIP, our product candidate that may offer a differentiated product profile for patients with PAH and other rare pulmonary disorders. We are also advancing earlier-stage programs in other rare disorders.
Our current priorities are as follows:
•Continue our efforts to ensure the successful commercialization of ARIKAYCE;
•Develop and validate a PRO tool for NTM lung disease to be used in, among other trials, the ENCORE trial required for the full US approval of ARIKAYCE by the FDA in patients with MAC lung disease;
•Continue our expansion efforts in Europe to support commercial activities for ARIKAYCE in the region;
•Continue our expansion efforts in Japan to support commercial launch activities in the country;
•Ensure our product supply chain will support the global commercialization and potential future lifecycle management programs of ARIKAYCE;
•Maintain or obtain determinations of coverage and reimbursement in the US, Europe and Japan for ARIKAYCE from governmental and other third-party payors;
•Support further research and lifecycle management strategies for ARIKAYCE, including the potential use of ARIKAYCE as part of a frontline, multi-drug regimen;
•Advance brensocatib, including in the Phase 3 ASPEN trial in patients with bronchiectasis;
•Advance the Phase 2 TPIP development program;
•Generate preclinical findings from our earlier-stage programs and advance translational medicine; and
•Expand our pipeline through corporate development.
ARIKAYCE for Patients with MAC Lung Disease
ARIKAYCE is our first approved product. ARIKAYCE received accelerated approval in the US in September 2018 for the treatment of refractory MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options. In October 2020, ARIKAYCE received approval in Europe for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have CF. In March 2021, ARIKAYCE received approval in Japan for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. MAC lung disease is a rare and often chronic infection that can cause irreversible lung damage and can be fatal. Amikacin solution for parenteral administration is an established drug that has activity against a variety of NTM; however, its use is limited by the need to administer it intravenously and by toxicity to hearing, balance, and kidney function. Unlike amikacin solution for intravenous administration, our proprietary Pulmovance™ technology uses charge-neutral liposomes to deliver amikacin directly to the lungs where liposomal amikacin is taken up by the lung macrophages where the MAC infection resides. This technology also prolongs the release of amikacin in the lungs, while minimizing systemic exposure, thereby offering the potential for decreased systemic toxicities. ARIKAYCE's ability to deliver high levels of amikacin directly to the lung and sites of MAC infection via the use of our Pulmovance technology distinguishes it from intravenous amikacin. ARIKAYCE is administered once-daily, using Lamira, an inhalation device developed and manufactured by PARI. Lamira is a portable nebulizer that enables aerosolization of liquid medications via a vibrating, perforated membrane, and was designed specifically for ARIKAYCE delivery.
29
The FDA has designated ARIKAYCE as an orphan drug and a QIDP for NTM lung disease. Orphan designated drugs are eligible for seven years of exclusivity for the orphan indication. QIDP designation provides an additional five years of exclusivity for the designated indication. The FDA granted a total of 12 years of exclusivity in the indication for which ARIKAYCE was approved.
ARIKAYCE also has been included in the international treatment guidelines for NTM lung disease. The evidence-based guidelines, issued by the American Thoracic Society (ATS), European Respiratory Society (ERS), European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID), and Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), now strongly recommend the use of ARIKAYCE for MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options who have failed to convert to a negative sputum culture after at least six months of treatment.
In October 2020, the FDA approved an sNDA for ARIKAYCE, adding important efficacy data regarding the durability and sustainability of culture conversion to the ARIKAYCE label. The data, which are from the Phase 3 CONVERT study of ARIKAYCE, demonstrate that the addition of ARIKAYCE to GBT was associated with sustained culture conversion through the end of treatment as well as durable culture conversion three months post-treatment compared with GBT alone.
Accelerated Approval
In March 2018, we submitted an NDA for ARIKAYCE to the FDA to request accelerated approval. Accelerated approval allows drugs that (i) are being developed to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and (ii) provide a meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing treatments to be approved substantially based on an intermediate endpoint or a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit, rather than a clinical endpoint such as survival or irreversible morbidity. In September 2018, the FDA granted accelerated approval for ARIKAYCE under the Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs (LPAD) for the treatment of refractory MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options via the accelerated approval pathway. LPAD, which was enacted as part of the 21st Century Cures Act, serves to advance the development of new antibacterial drugs to treat serious or life-threatening infections in limited populations of patients with unmet needs. As required for drugs approved under the LPAD pathway, labeling for ARIKAYCE includes certain statements to convey that the drug has been shown to be safe and effective only for use in a limited population.
As a condition of accelerated approval, we must conduct a post-approval confirmatory clinical trial. In December 2020, we commenced the post-approval confirmatory frontline clinical trial program for ARIKAYCE in patients with MAC lung disease. The frontline clinical trial program consists of the ARISE trial, an interventional study designed to validate cross-sectional and longitudinal characteristics of a PRO tool in MAC lung disease, and the ENCORE trial, designed to establish the clinical benefits and evaluate the safety of ARIKAYCE in patients with newly diagnosed MAC lung disease using the PRO tool validated in the ARISE trial. We are running these global studies in parallel and approximately 200 sites are expected to be initiated for these clinical trials. The frontline clinical program is intended to fulfill the FDA’s post-marketing requirement to allow for full approval of ARIKAYCE by the FDA, and verification and description of clinical benefit in the ENCORE trial will be necessary for full approval of ARIKAYCE.
Regulatory Pathway Outside of the US
In October 2020, the EC granted marketing authorization for ARIKAYCE for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have CF. We have launched ARIKAYCE in Germany, the Netherlands and Wales, and plan to launch in other European Union (EU) countries and the UK, subject to local reimbursement processes.
In March 2021, Japan's MHLW approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. In July 2021, we launched ARIKAYCE in Japan.
Further Research and Lifecycle Management
30
We are currently exploring and supporting research and lifecycle management programs for ARIKAYCE beyond treatment of refractory MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial regimen for adult patients who have limited or no treatment options. As noted above, we will continue to advance the post-approval confirmatory, frontline clinical trial program for ARIKAYCE, through the ARISE trial and the ENCORE trial, which are intended to fulfill the FDA's post-marketing requirement to allow for the full approval of ARIKAYCE in the US, as well as to support the use of ARIKAYCE as a frontline treatment for patients with MAC lung disease in the US, Europe and Japan.
The ARISE trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3b study in adult patients with newly diagnosed MAC lung disease that aims to generate evidence demonstrating the domain specification, reliability, validity, and responsiveness of PRO-based scores, including a respiratory symptom score. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive ARIKAYCE plus background regimen or placebo plus background regimen once daily for six months. Patients will then discontinue all study treatments and remain in the trial for one month for the continued assessment of PRO endpoints. The study is currently enrolling patients, and is expected to enroll approximately 100 patients.
The ENCORE trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3b study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an ARIKAYCE-based regimen in patients with newly diagnosed MAC lung disease. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive ARIKAYCE plus background regimen or placebo plus background regimen once daily for 12 months. Patients will then discontinue all study treatments and remain in the trial for three months for the assessment of durability of culture conversion. The primary endpoint is change from baseline to Month 13 in respiratory symptom score. The key secondary endpoint is the proportion of subjects achieving durable culture conversion at Month 15. The study is currently enrolling patients, and is expected to enroll approximately 250 patients.
We initiated the frontline clinical trial program of ARIKAYCE in December 2020 and are running the ARISE and ENCORE trials in parallel in approximately 200 sites.
Subsequent lifecycle management studies could also potentially enable us to reach more patients. These initiatives include investigator-initiated studies, which are clinical studies initiated and sponsored by physicians or research institutions with funding from us and may also include new clinical studies sponsored by us.
Product Pipeline
Brensocatib
Brensocatib is a small molecule, oral, reversible inhibitor of DPP1, which we licensed from AstraZeneca in October 2016. DPP1 is an enzyme responsible for activating neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) in neutrophils when they are formed in the bone marrow. Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cell and play an essential role in pathogen destruction and inflammatory mediation. Neutrophils contain the NSPs (including neutrophil elastase, proteinase 3, and cathepsin G) that have been implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases. In chronic inflammatory lung diseases, neutrophils accumulate in the airways and result in excessive active NSPs that cause lung destruction and inflammation. Brensocatib may decrease the damaging effects of inflammatory diseases such as bronchiectasis by inhibiting DPP1 and its activation of NSPs.
Bronchiectasis is a severe, chronic pulmonary disorder in which the bronchi become permanently dilated due to a cycle of infection, inflammation, and lung tissue damage. The condition is marked by frequent pulmonary exacerbations requiring antibiotic therapy and/or hospitalizations. Symptoms include chronic cough, excessive sputum production, shortness of breath, and repeated respiratory infections, which can worsen the underlying condition. Bronchiectasis affects approximately 340,000 to 520,000 patients in the US, and reports suggest that bronchiectasis may affect approximately 350,000 to 500,000 patients in the European 5 (comprised of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) and one million to five million patients in the Asia-Pacific region. Today, there are no approved therapies in the US, Europe, or Japan for the treatment of patients with bronchiectasis.
Based on the positive results of the WILLOW study discussed below, in December 2020 we commenced our Phase 3 trial, ASPEN, which will investigate brensocatib in bronchiectasis. ASPEN is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis. Patients with bronchiectasis due to CF may not be enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomized to receive brensocatib 10 mg, brensocatib 25 mg, or placebo once daily for 52 weeks. The primary endpoint is the rate of pulmonary exacerbations over the 52-week treatment period. Secondary endpoints include time to first pulmonary exacerbation, percentage of subjects who remain pulmonary exacerbation-free, change from baseline in post-bronchodilator FEV1, rate of severe pulmonary exacerbations, change from baseline in the Bronchiectasis (QOL-B) Respiratory Symptoms Domain Score, and incidence and
31
severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs). This study is currently enrolling patients, and is expected to enroll approximately 1,620 patients (540 in each arm) at approximately 480 sites in 40 countries.
In March 2020, AstraZeneca exercised its first option pursuant to our October 2016 license agreement under which AstraZeneca can advance clinical development of brensocatib in the indications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma. Under the terms of the agreement, upon exercise of this option, AstraZeneca is solely responsible for all aspects of the development of brensocatib up to and including Phase 2b clinical trials in COPD or asthma. The agreement also includes a second and final option which, if exercised, would permit AstraZeneca to further develop brensocatib beyond Phase 2b clinical trials upon reaching agreement on commercial terms satisfactory to each party for the further development and commercialization of brensocatib in COPD or asthma. We retain full development and commercialization rights for brensocatib in all other indications and geographies.
In June 2020, the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation for brensocatib for the treatment of adult patients with NCFBE for reducing exacerbations. The FDA's breakthrough therapy designation is designed to expedite the development and review of therapies that are intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases and for which preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapy. The benefits of breakthrough therapy designation include more frequent communication and meetings with FDA, eligibility for rolling and priority review, intensive guidance on an efficient drug development program, and organizational commitment from the FDA involving senior managers. In November 2020, brensocatib was granted access to the PRIME scheme from the EMA for patients with NCFBE.
In October 2021, the European Medicines Agency’s Paediatric Committee approved the brensocatib Pediatric Investigational Plan for the treatment of patients with NCFBE. Subsequently, the ASPEN trial will now include 40 adolescent patients between ages 12 to 17, which will fulfill the pediatric study requirements to support marketing applications in this patient population in the US, Europe, and Japan.
The WILLOW Study
The WILLOW study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center, multi-national, Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of brensocatib administered once daily for 24 weeks in patients with NCFBE. The WILLOW study was conducted at 116 sites and enrolled 256 adult patients diagnosed with NCFBE who had at least two documented pulmonary exacerbations in the 12 months prior to screening. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive either 10 mg or 25 mg of brensocatib or matching placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint was the time to first pulmonary exacerbation over the 24-week treatment period in the brensocatib arms compared to the placebo arm.
WILLOW Efficacy Data
We announced topline data for the WILLOW study in February 2020 and full data for the WILLOW study in June 2020. In September 2020, final results from the WILLOW study were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. The data demonstrate that the WILLOW study met its primary endpoint of time to first pulmonary exacerbation over the 24-week treatment period for both the 10 mg and 25 mg dosage groups of brensocatib compared to placebo (p=0.027, p=0.044, respectively). The risk of exacerbation at any time during the trial was reduced by 42% for the 10 mg group versus placebo (HR 0.58, p=0.029) and by 38% for the 25 mg group versus placebo (HR 0.62, p=0.046). In addition, treatment with brensocatib 10 mg resulted in a significant reduction in the rate of pulmonary exacerbations, a key secondary endpoint, versus placebo. Specifically, patients treated with brensocatib experienced a 36% reduction in the 10 mg arm (p=0.041) and a 25% reduction in the 25 mg arm (p=0.167) versus placebo. Change in concentration of active NE in sputum versus placebo from baseline to the end of the treatment period was also statistically significant (p=0.034 for 10 mg, p=0.021 for 25 mg).
WILLOW Safety and Tolerability Data
Brensocatib was generally well-tolerated in the study. Rates of AEs leading to discontinuation in patients treated with placebo, brensocatib 10 mg, and brensocatib 25 mg were 10.6%, 7.4%, and 6.7%, respectively. The most common AEs in patients treated with brensocatib were cough, headache, sputum increase, dyspnea, fatigue, and upper respiratory tract infection. Rates of adverse events of special interest (AESIs) in patients treated with placebo, brensocatib 10 mg, and brensocatib 25 mg, respectively, were as follows: rates of skin events (including hyperkeratosis) were 11.8%, 14.8%, and 23.6%; rates of dental events were 3.5%, 16.0%, and 10.1%; and rates of infections that were considered AESIs were 17.6%, 13.6%, and 16.9%.
Further Research and Development
32
In August 2019, we received notice from the FDA that we were awarded a development grant of $1.8 million for specific work to be performed on a PRO tool. The grant funding is for the development of a novel PRO tool for use in clinical trials to measure symptoms in patients with NCFBE with and without NTM lung infection.
We are advancing a clinical development program for brensocatib in CF. The CF Therapeutics Development Network has endorsed our study protocol for brensocatib in CF. The process for initiating study sites for the Phase 2 pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics multiple-dose study is underway and we are on track to share results in 2022.
Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder
TPIP is an investigational inhaled formulation of treprostinil prodrug that has the potential to address certain of the current limitations of existing prostanoid therapies. We believe that TPIP prolongs duration of effect and may provide PAH patients with greater consistency in pulmonary arterial pressure reduction over time. Current inhaled prostanoid therapies must be dosed four to nine times per day for the treatment of PAH. Reducing dose frequency has the potential to ease patient burden and improve compliance. Additionally, we believe that TPIP may be associated with fewer side effects, including severity and/or frequency of cough, headache, throat irritation, nausea, flushing and dizziness that are associated with high initial drug levels and local upper airway exposure when using current inhaled prostanoid therapies. We believe TPIP may offer a differentiated product profile for PAH and other rare pulmonary disorders.
In February 2021, we announced topline results from the Phase 1 study of TPIP in healthy volunteers. The objective of this first-in-human single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose study was to assess the pharmacokinetics and tolerability profile of TPIP. Data from the study demonstrated that TPIP was generally well tolerated, with a pharmacokinetic profile that supports continued development with once-daily dosing. The most common AEs across all cohorts in the study were cough, dizziness, headache, and nausea. Most AEs were mild in severity and consistent in nature with those typically seen with other inhaled prostanoid therapies. There were few moderate AEs and no severe or serious AEs. Subjects in the multiple dose panel that incorporated an up-titration approach beginning at 112.5 µg once-daily and progressing to 225 µg once-daily reported fewer AEs compared to the panel dosed with 225 µg once-daily from the first dose.
Overall pharmacokinetic results demonstrated that treprostinil exposure (AUC and Cmax) was dose-proportional, with low to moderate inter-subject variability. Treprostinil was detected in the plasma at 24 hours at all doses and throughout the 48-hour sampling period for the two highest doses. Compared with currently available inhaled treprostinil therapy, TPIP showed substantially lower Cmax and longer half-life. Data from this study were presented in an oral session at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in August 2021.
We are advancing the development of TPIP with two studies in patients with PAH. The first is an open-label, proof-of-mechanism study to understand the impact of TPIP on PVR over a 24-hour period. We anticipate having preliminary data from a small number of patients in this study by the end of 2021. The second will aim to investigate the effect of TPIP on PVR and 6-minute walk distance over a 16-week treatment period using an up-titration, once-daily dosing schedule. We plan to initiate study sites by the end of 2021. Beyond PAH, we continue to explore potential development pathways for TPIP in patients with other rare pulmonary disorders, including PH-ILD. We plan to initiate a Phase 2 study in patients with PH-ILD using an up-titration, once-daily dosing schedule in early 2022.
Corporate Development
We plan to continue to develop, acquire, in license or co-promote other products, product candidates and technologies, including those that address rare diseases. We are focused broadly on rare disease therapeutics and prioritizing those areas that best align with our core competencies.
KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Product Revenues, Net
Product revenues, net, consist primarily of net sales of ARIKAYCE in the US. In October 2018, we began shipping ARIKAYCE to our customers in the US, which include specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors. In December 2020 and February 2021, we began commercial sales of ARIKAYCE in Germany and the Netherlands, respectively. In July 2021, the Company began recognizing product revenue from commercial sales of ARIKAYCE in Japan. In September 2021, the Company began commercial sales of ARIKAYCE in Wales. We recognize revenue for product received by our customers net of allowances for customer credits, including prompt pay discounts, service fees, estimated rebates, including government rebates, such as Medicaid rebates and Medicare Part D coverage gap reimbursements in the US, chargebacks and returns.
33
Cost of Product Revenues (Excluding Amortization of Intangible Assets)
Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangible assets) consist primarily of direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE sold, including third-party manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight, and allocation of overhead costs, in addition to royalty expenses and revenue-based milestones. We began capitalizing inventory upon FDA approval of ARIKAYCE. All costs related to inventory for ARIKAYCE prior to FDA approval were expensed as incurred and therefore not included in cost of product revenues.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel serving in our research and development functions, including medical affairs and program management. R&D expenses also includes other internal operating expenses, the cost of manufacturing product candidates, including the medical devices for drug delivery, for clinical study, the cost of conducting clinical studies, and the cost of conducting preclinical and research activities. In addition, R&D expenses include payments to third parties for the license rights to products in development (prior to marketing approval), such as brensocatib. Our R&D expenses related to manufacturing our product candidates and medical devices for clinical study are primarily related to activities at contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) that manufacture brensocatib and TPIP. Our R&D expenses related to clinical trials are primarily related to activities at contract research organizations (CROs) that conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. These contracts with CROs set forth the scope of work to be completed at a fixed fee or amount per patient enrolled. Payments under these contracts with CROs primarily depend on performance criteria such as the successful enrollment of patients or the completion of clinical trial milestones as well as time-based fees. Expenses are accrued based on contracted amounts applied to the level of patient enrollment and to activity according to the clinical trial protocol. Deposits for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are then recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for our non-employee directors and personnel serving in our executive, finance and accounting, legal and compliance, commercial and pre-commercial, corporate development, field sales, information technology and human resource functions. SG&A expenses also include professional fees for legal services, consulting services, including commercial activities, insurance, board of director fees, tax and accounting services and certain milestones related to ARIKAYCE.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Upon commercialization of ARIKAYCE, our intangible assets began to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The fair values assigned to our intangible assets are based on estimates and assumptions we believe are reasonable based on available facts and circumstances. Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur that require us to review the assets for impairment.
Change in Fair Value of Deferred and Contingent Consideration Liabilities
In connection with our Business Acquisition in the third quarter of 2021, we recorded deferred and contingent consideration liabilities related to potential future milestone payments. Adjustments to the fair value are due to changes in: the probability of achieving milestones; our stock price; or certain other estimated assumptions. The change in fair value of deferred and contingent consideration liabilities is calculated quarterly with gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Investment Income and Interest Expense
Investment income consists of interest and dividend income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense consists primarily of the accretion of debt discount, contractual interest costs and the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our debt. Debt discount is accreted, and debt issuance costs are amortized, to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debt. Our balance sheet reflects debt, net of the debt discount, debt issuance costs paid to the lender, and other third-party costs. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with extinguished debt are expensed in the period of the extinguishment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COVID-19 Update
We are committed to the safety and well-being of our workforce and have taken the following protective measures:
•In March 2020, we implemented a number of corporate initiatives in response to the novel coronavirus global pandemic which manifests as COVID-19. These initiatives included a remote working policy for all employees in order to aid the global containment effort and allow infectious disease specialists and pulmonologists to focus exclusively on treating patients and containing the virus. The policy included all of the field-based therapeutic specialists and employees who support ARIKAYCE prescribers.
•Since June 2020, certain of our field-based employees who support ARIKAYCE prescribers were permitted to return to the field on a voluntary basis. To date, access to prescribers has been limited with significant regional variability. Our Arikares® trainers are continuing to offer remote training for patients who initiate treatment with ARIKAYCE. As COVID-19 infections in the US subsided and vaccination rates increased, we observed a resumption of activities, including field-based employees returning to the field, reopening of physician offices and patients returning to in-office visits. However, as new variants of COVID-19 emerge, some of these activities have recently been paused in certain regions.
•Since reopening our physical offices in the third quarter of 2020, we have put in place protocols in each location in adherence to local and state laws and with the health and safety of our employees in mind. As of October 2021, we required all employees and visitors entering our corporate headquarters to be fully vaccinated.
•Effective mid-December 2021, with the health and safety of our employees and ARIKAYCE physicians, caregivers, and patients in mind, we are requiring that all U.S. employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Though we continue to see use of ARIKAYCE, including new patient adds and continued prescription renewals, there remains a general uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our patients, physicians, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. While the pandemic did not materially affect our financial results and business operations through the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results in future periods due to these and other numerous uncertainties. We will continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and will make adjustments to our operations as necessary.

R&D expenses increased to $196.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $113.3 million in the same period in 2020. The $83.0 million increase was primarily due to a $48.5 million increase in clinical development and research costs related to the initiation of the ARIKAYCE frontline clinical trial program and the Phase 3 ASPEN trial of brensocatib. The increase was also due to a $18.2 million increase in compensation and benefit related expenses and stock-based compensation due to an increase in headcount, as well as a $13.1 million increase in manufacturing expenses to support ongoing clinical trials.
External R&D expenses by product for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

We expect R&D expenses to continue to increase in 2021 relative to 2020 primarily due to our clinical trial activities and related spend including our Phase 3 ASPEN trial of brensocatib, our confirmatory clinical trial of ARIKAYCE in a front-line treatment setting for patients with MAC lung disease, and our TPIP clinical trials.
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

SG&A expenses increased to $169.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $147.6 million in the same period in 2020. The $21.4 million increase was primarily due to a $14.7 million increase in compensation and benefit related expenses and stock-based compensation due to an increase in global headcount, as well as an increase of $7.9 million in
39
professional fees and other external expenses primarily resulting from our commercial launch efforts in Europe and Japan and from resuming certain commercial activities in the US.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets is comprised of amortization of acquired ARIKAYCE R&D and amortization of the milestones paid to PARI for the FDA and EC approvals of ARIKAYCE.
Change in Fair Value of Deferred and Contingent Consideration Liabilities
The change in fair value of deferred and contingent consideration liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $8.3 million. Adjustments to the fair value are due to changes in: the probability of achieving milestones; our stock price; or certain other estimated assumptions.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $29.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $22.1 million in the same period in 2020 due to the accretion of debt discount for our debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
There is considerable time and cost associated with developing potential pharmaceutical products to the point of regulatory approval and commercialization. We commenced commercial shipments of ARIKAYCE in October 2018. We expect to continue to incur consolidated operating losses, including losses at our US and certain international entities, as we plan to fund R&D for ARIKAYCE, brensocatib, TPIP and our other pipeline programs, continue pre-commercial, commercialization and regulatory activities for ARIKAYCE, and other general and administrative activities.
In May 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes, including the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional 2028 Convertible Notes. Our net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $15.7 million, were $559.3 million. A portion of the net proceeds from the 2028 Convertible Notes was used to repurchase $225.0 million of the Company's outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $17.7 million, primarily related to the premium paid on extinguishment of a portion of the 2025 Convertible Notes.
In May 2021, we also completed an underwritten public offering of 11,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, including 1,500,000 shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares from the Company, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. Our net proceeds from the sale of the shares, after deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $17.5 million, were $270.1 million.
In the first quarter of 2021, we entered into a sales agreement with SVB Leerink to sell shares of our common stock, with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $250.0 million, from time to time, through an ATM program, under which SVB Leerink acts as sales agent. As of September 30, 2021, we had not sold or issued any shares under the ATM program.
In the second quarter of 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 11,155,000 shares of our common stock, including 1,455,000 shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $23.25 per share. Our net proceeds from the sale of the shares, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $13.5 million, were $245.9 million.
We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations, including continued commercialization of ARIKAYCE and future clinical trials related to ARIKAYCE, to design and conduct ongoing and future clinical trials for brensocatib and TPIP, and to develop, acquire, in-license or co-promote other products or product candidates, including those that address orphan or rare diseases. We believe we currently have sufficient funds to meet our financial needs for at least the next 12 months. We expect to opportunistically raise additional capital and may do so through equity or debt financing(s), strategic transactions or otherwise. We expect such additional funding, if any, would be used to continue to commercialize ARIKAYCE, to conduct further trials of ARIKAYCE, to develop brensocatib, TPIP and our other product candidates, or to pursue the license or purchase of other technologies or products and product candidates. During 2021, we plan to continue to support the
40
commercialization of ARIKAYCE in the US, Europe and Japan, to continue to fund further clinical development of ARIKAYCE, brensocatib and TPIP, and to fund our global expansion efforts. Our cash requirements for the next 12 months will be impacted by a number of factors, the most significant of which we expect to be expenses related to our commercialization efforts and our ARISE and ENCORE clinical trials for ARIKAYCE, expenses related to the ASPEN trial and other development activities for brensocatib, and to a lesser extent, expenses related to the clinical development of TPIP.
Cash Flows
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $846.6 million, as compared with $532.8 million as of December 31, 2020. The $313.8 million increase was primarily due to our May 2021 underwritten public offerings of debt and equity, partially offset by the repurchase of a portion of our 2025 Convertible Notes and cash used in operating activities. Our working capital was $846.5 million as of September 30, 2021 as compared with $504.1 million as of December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in operating activities was $279.2 million and $152.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was primarily for the commercial, clinical and manufacturing activities related to ARIKAYCE, as well as other SG&A expenses and clinical trial expenses related to brensocatib and TPIP. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020 was primarily due to the increase in R&D expenses to support our ongoing clinical trials. The increase was also due to the net change in working capital, driven primarily by increases in other assets from deposits to our CRO for our recently initiated clinical trials and the $12.5 million milestone payment to AstraZeneca related to the first dosing in our Phase 3 ASPEN trial.
Net cash used in investing activities was $13.1 million and $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for purchases of fixed assets and in 2021, the Business Acquisition.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $606.8 million and $259.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was primarily due to net cash proceeds from the issuance and extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from those disclosed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We do not have any interest in special purpose entities, structured finance entities or other variable interest entities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the required interim disclosure updates related to our accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of September 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were in cash accounts and money market funds. Our investments in money market funds are not insured by the federal government.
As of September 30, 2021, we had $800.0 million of convertible notes outstanding. Our 2025 Convertible Notes and our 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest at a coupon rate of 1.75% and 0.75%, respectively. If a 10% change in interest rates
41
had occurred on September 30, 2021, it would not have had a material effect on the fair value of our debt as of that date, nor would it have had a material effect on our future earnings or cash flows.
The majority of our business is conducted in US dollars. However, we do conduct certain transactions in other currencies, including Euros, British Pounds, and Japanese Yen. Historically, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have not materially affected our results of operations and during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our results of operations were not materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation as of September 30, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcomes of these matters are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other public filings in evaluating our business, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021. Any of the risks and uncertainties described below and in our other filings with the SEC, either alone or taken together, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects for growth, and the value of an investment in our common stock. In addition, these risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q (please read the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this Form 10-Q).
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In connection with the August 4, 2021 closing of the Company’s acquisition of Motus, following certain closing-related reductions, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,889,367 shares of the Company’s common stock to Motus’s former stockholders and option holders and certain individuals who are entitled to receive a portion of the acquisition consideration (collectively, Motus equityholders). The shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Motus equityholders were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the number of such issuable shares was calculated based on a per share value of $27.11. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the issuance of common stock to the Motus equityholders.
42
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
On October 24, 2021, John Soriano notified the Company of his resignation from his position as the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, effective October 28, 2021. Mr. Soriano’s resignation is at his initiative and relates to his disagreement with the Company’s decision to implement a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for its US employees. There is no other disagreement related to compliance, quality or otherwise between Mr. Soriano and the Company or its board of directors.

INSMED INCORPORATED
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
UNDER THE 2019 INCENTIVE PLAN
No. of shares subject to Option: /$AwardsGranted$/
THIS AGREEMENT dated this /$GrantDate$/, between INSMED INCORPORATED, a Virginia corporation (the "Company"), and /$ParticipantName$/ ("Participant"), is made pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Insmed Incorporated 2019 Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), a copy of which has been made available to the Participant. All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan have the same meaning given them in the Plan.
If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of any employment, consulting or similar services agreement between the Participant and the Company (or any of its Affiliates, as applicable) as may be in effect (the “Service Agreement”), the Service Agreement shall control, and this Award Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly so long as such modification is not expressly prohibited by the Plan.
1.Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company, on /$GrantDate$/ (the "Date of Grant"), granted to Participant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and subject further to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the right and Option to purchase from the Company all or any part of an aggregate of /$AwardsGranted$/ shares of Common Stock at the Option price of /$GrantPrice$/ per share, being not less than the Fair Market Value of such shares on the Date of Grant. This Option is intended to be a nonqualified stock option and not an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. This Option is exercisable as hereinafter provided.
2.Terms and Conditions. This Option is subject to the following terms and conditions:
a.Expiration Date. This Option shall expire ten years from the Date of Grant (the "Expiration Date").
b.Exercise of Option. Except as provided in paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, this Option shall be exercisable with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Option on the first annual anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “First Anniversary Date”) and with respect to an additional twelve and a half percent (12.5%) of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Option on the six-month anniversary of the First Anniversary Date and each six-month anniversary date thereafter through the fourth annual anniversary of the Date of Grant. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional shares, the number of shares for which the Option becomes exercisable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Once this Option has become exercisable in accordance with the preceding sentence it shall continue to be exercisable until the termination of Participant's rights hereunder pursuant to paragraph 3, 4 or 5 or until the Option has expired pursuant to subparagraph 2(a). A partial exercise of this Option shall not affect Participant's right to exercise this Option with respect to the remaining shares, subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
c.Method of Exercising Option and Payment for Shares. This Option shall be exercised by written notice delivered to the attention of the Company's Chief Financial Officer at the Company's principal office in New Jersey. The exercise date shall be (i) in the case of notice by mail, the date of postmark, or (ii) if delivered in person, the date of delivery. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Option price in full, in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee, or such other method as determined by the Committee, including an irrevocable commitment by a broker to pay over such amount from a sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Option, the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock or withholding of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise which, together with any cash or cash equivalent paid, is not less than the Option price for the number of shares for which this Option is being exercised.
d.Agreement with Terms. Execution of this Agreement by Participant or receipt of any benefits under this Agreement by Participant shall constitute Participant’s acknowledgement of and agreement with all of the provisions of this Agreement and of the Plan that are applicable to this Option, and the Company shall administer this Agreement accordingly.
e.Forfeiture. In the event of Participant’s termination of employment or service, any vested portion of this Option that is not exercised during the period specified in paragraph 3, paragraph 4 or paragraph 5 of this Agreement, as applicable, shall be forfeited upon the expiration of such period. Any portion of this Option that is unvested as of the date of Participant’s termination of employment or service shall be forfeited on such date.
f.Change in Status. A change in the status (whether as employee, member of the Board or other non-employee advisor or service provider) in which the Participant renders service to the Company and its Affiliates or a change in the entity for which the Participant renders such service shall not constitute a termination of the Participant’s employment or service for purposes of this Agreement, so long as there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s services to the Company and its Affiliates; provided, however, that if the entity employing or engaging the Participant ceases to be an Affiliate of the Company, as determined by the Administrator, the Participant’s employment or service shall be considered to have terminated on the date such entity ceased to be an Affiliate.
3.Exercise in the Event of Death. In the event Participant dies before the expiration of this Option pursuant to subparagraph 2(a), this Option shall be exercisable with respect to all or part of the shares of Common Stock that Participant was entitled to purchase under subparagraph 2(b) on the date of Participant’s death. In that event, this Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable under subparagraph 2(b), by Participant's estate or by the person or persons to whom his rights under this Option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Participant's estate or such persons may exercise this Option
2
within one (1) year after Participant's death or during the remainder of the period preceding the Expiration Date, whichever is shorter.
4.Exercise in the Event of Permanent and Total Disability. In the event Participant becomes permanently and totally disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code ("Permanently and Totally Disabled") before the expiration of this Option pursuant to subparagraph 2(a), this Option shall be exercisable with respect to all or part of the shares of Common Stock that Participant was entitled to purchase under subparagraph 2(b) on the date he ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and its Affiliates as a result of his becoming Permanently and Totally Disabled. In that event, Participant may exercise this Option, to the extent exercisable under subparagraph 2(b), within one (1) year after the date he ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and its Affiliates as a result of his becoming Permanently and Totally Disabled or during the period preceding the Expiration Date, whichever is shorter.
5.Exercise After Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided in paragraphs 3 and 4 hereof, if the Participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Expiration Date, this Option shall be exercisable for all or part of the number of shares that the Participant was entitled to purchase under subparagraph 2(b), as well as set forth under any Service Agreement, on the date of Participant’s termination of employment or service. In that event, Participant may exercise this Option, to the extent exercisable under subparagraph 2(b) and/or under any Service Agreement, during the remainder of the period preceding the Expiration Date or until the date that is three (3) months (or such other period of time provided under any Service Agreement) after the date he ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and its Affiliates, whichever is shorter.
6.Notice. Any notice or other communication given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or mailed by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company at its principal place of business or to the Participant at the address on the payroll records of the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing. Additionally, if such notice or communication is by the Company to the Participant, the Company may provide such notice electronically (including via email). Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given (a) on the date of postmark, in the case of notice by mail, or (b) on the date of delivery, if delivered in person or electronically.
7.Fractional Shares. Fractional shares shall not be issuable hereunder, and when any provision hereof may entitle Participant to a fractional share such fraction shall be disregarded.
8.Tax Responsibility and Withholding. The Participant hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax (including, without limitation, social insurance contributions or National Insurance Contributions) withholding obligations of the Company and its Affiliates, if any, which arise in connection with the Option including, without limitation, the grant,
3
vesting or exercise of the Option and the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock (the “Tax Obligations”). The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock until the Tax Obligations have been fully satisfied by the Participant. The Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax Obligations legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates: (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the Tax Obligations or tax treatment in connection with any aspect of the Option; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any other aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s Tax Obligations or any other tax liabilities. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Participant to satisfy all or any portion of the Tax Obligations by deducting from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant upon such exercise a number of whole shares having a fair market value, as determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the amount of such Tax Obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. The Company may require the Participant to direct a broker, upon the exercise of the Option, to sell a portion of the shares subject to the Option determined by the Company in its discretion to be sufficient to cover the Tax Obligations of the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries and to remit an amount equal to such Tax Obligations to the Company in cash. The Participant authorizes the Company to disclose all information on the Participant and his participation in this Agreement that is or may be relevant for the calculation of the Tax Obligations, to the competent local tax authorities and the Company’s Affiliates, including but not limited to the exercise notice, the day such notice was received, the number of shares for which the Option is exercised, the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of the exercise of the Option. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for any tax due by the Participant to the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or to any other individual or entity, and the Company shall have no liability to the Participant, or any other party, thereto.
9.No Right to Continued Employment and Other Service Conditions. As a condition to accepting the Option, the Participant acknowledges and agrees as follows:
a.Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time or for any reason in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, governing law and any applicable Service Agreement;
b.No terms of the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service relationship for any specified period of time.
c.Neither this Agreement nor any benefits arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall constitute an employment contract or service contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its Affiliates.
d.If Participant is not an employee, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s service, (i) if a member of the Board,
4
on the Board at any time or for any reason in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and governing law, or (ii) if a non-employee consultant or advisor, in accordance with the terms of the contract with such consultant or advisor.
e.In no event shall any of the terms of the Plan or this Agreement itself confer upon Participant any right to continue his or her service for any specified period of time.
f.Any notice period mandated under applicable law shall not be treated as service for the purpose of determining the vesting of the Option; and the Participant’s right to vesting of shares in settlement of the Option after termination of service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participant’s active service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under applicable law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of this Agreement, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the Participant’s service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.
g.The grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past. All decisions with respect to future Option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.
h.The Participant is voluntarily participating in the grant of the Option.
i.The Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for service of any kind rendered to the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries, and which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment or service contract, if any. The Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
j.The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. The value of the shares may increase or decrease.
k.No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Option or diminution in value of the Option or shares and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Participant’s entitlement to pursue such a claim.
10.Data Privacy. The Participant understands that the Company may collect, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the
5

The Participant understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Option, that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant understands that recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s Option, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any shares acquired pursuant to the Option. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s Option. The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data or require any necessary amendments to Data, by contacting in writing the Participant’s local human resources representative.

INSMED INCORPORATED
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
UNDER THE 2019 INCENTIVE PLAN
ADDITIONAL NOTICES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR NON-US PARTICIPANTS
Further Terms and Conditions of the Option. It is understood and agreed that the Option evidenced by the Award Agreement to which this is annexed is subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
Participant understands that this Annex includes special terms and conditions applicable to Participant if Participant resides in one of the countries below. These terms and conditions are in addition to those set forth in the Award Agreement and the Plan. Any capitalized term used in this Annex without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Option Agreement or the Plan, as applicable.
Participant further understands that this Annex also includes information relating to laws and regulatory requirements of which Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the laws in effect in the respective countries as of May 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, Participant understands that the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that Participant’s Option are settled or Participant sells shares of Stock acquired under the Plan.
Finally, Participant understands that if: (a) Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant is currently working, (b) transfers employment after grant of the Option, or (c) is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not apply to Participant, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply.
The Company may, from time to time, add or impose additional terms and conditions in respect of Participant’s Option in order to ensure compliance with any local laws and regulations.

AUSTRALIA
Breach of Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Award Agreement or the Plan, Participant will not be entitled to, and shall not claim any benefit (including without limitation a legal right) under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits.
Tax Information. The Plan is a program to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in such Act).
BELGIUM
Terms and Conditions
The Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Company will only accept a countersigned Option Agreement after the 60th day following the Participant’s receipt of the Option Agreement.
By formally accepting in writing the Option Agreement through signature and by returning it to the Company within 60 days from receipt of the Option Agreement and the Plan, the Participant would normally become subject to income tax on a lump-sum benefit in kind on the 60th day following receipt of the Option Agreement (being the "grant date" for Belgian tax purposes). In that case, no taxation should be triggered upon vesting or exercise. However, if written acceptance and return of the Option Agreement would take place after the 60th day following receipt of the Option Agreement, as required by the Company, taxation will normally be delayed to the date of exercise of this Option. In that case, grant or vesting should not trigger taxation.

INSMED INCORPORATED
RESTRICTED UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
UNDER THE 2019 INCENTIVE PLAN FOR U.S. EMPLOYEES
Grantee Name: /$ParticipantName$/
Number of RSUs: /$AwardsGranted$/
Grant Date: /$GrantDate$/
Pursuant to the Insmed Incorporated 2019 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as amended through the date hereof and this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), Insmed Incorporated (the “Company”) hereby grants an award of /$AwardsGranted$/ restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units” or the “RSU Award”) to the individual named above (the “Grantee”). The RSU Award shall be referred to herein as the “Award.” Subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Grantee shall receive the number of Restricted Stock Units specified above. All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan have the same meaning given them in the Plan.
If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of any employment, consulting or similar services agreement between the Grantee and the Company (or any of its Affiliates, as applicable) as may be in effect (the “Service Agreement”), the Service Agreement shall control, and this Award Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly so long as such modification is not expressly prohibited by the Plan.
The Company acknowledges the receipt from the Grantee of consideration with respect to the par value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award in the form of cash, past or future services rendered to the Company by the Grantee or such other form of consideration as is acceptable to the Administrator and permitted under the Plan and applicable law.
1.Agreement with Terms. Execution of this Agreement by the Grantee or receipt of any benefits under this Agreement by the Grantee shall constitute the Grantee’s acknowledgement of and agreement with all of the provisions of this Agreement and of the Plan that are applicable to this Award, and the Company shall administer this Agreement accordingly.
2.Restrictions and Conditions on Award. Restricted Stock Units granted herein shall be subject to all the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan.
3.Timing and Form of Payout of Restricted Stock Units. As soon as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following the applicable Vesting Date (as defined below) or, if earlier, the date the Award vests in accordance with Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in shares of Common Stock (except as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement).
4.Vesting of Award. Except as set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement, the restrictions and conditions in Section 2 of this Agreement shall lapse with respect to 25% of the RSU Award on each anniversary of the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”) through the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, so long as the Grantee remains an employee of the Company or its Affiliates on the applicable Vesting Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan, the Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Section 4.
5.Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, vesting of the RSU Award may be accelerated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and/or Service Agreement. If, in connection with a Change in Control, the RSU Award is not assumed and no award is substituted for the RSU Award, then the vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying such vested Restricted Stock Units determined as of the date of the Change in Control.
6.Termination of Employment or Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan and/or Service Agreement, any unvested portion of the RSU Award shall be forfeited without payment of consideration upon the termination of the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates for any reason. A change in the status (whether as employee, member of the Board or other non-employee advisor or service provider) in which the Grantee renders service to the Company and its Affiliates or a change in the entity for which the Grantee renders such service shall not constitute a termination of the Grantee’s employment or service for purposes of this Agreement, so long as there is no interruption or termination of the Grantee’s services to the Company and its Affiliates; provided, however, that if the entity employing or engaging the Grantee ceases to be an Affiliate of the Company, as determined by the Administrator, the Grantee’s employment or service shall be considered to have terminated on the date such entity ceased to be an Affiliate.
7.Voting Rights and Dividends. Until such time as Restricted Stock Units are paid out in shares of Common Stock (if at all), the Grantee shall not have any voting, dividend or other shareholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock underlying this RSU Award (“Underlying Shares”). No dividend equivalents shall accrue or be paid to the Grantee with respect to the Underlying Shares.
8.Adjustments Upon Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events or Other Events. Upon certain unusual or nonrecurring events, or other events, the terms of these Restricted Stock Units shall be adjusted by the Administrator pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan.
9.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award and this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan. To the extent any provision hereof is inconsistent with a provision of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
10.Taxes.
(a) By accepting this Agreement, the Grantee hereby elects to either (A) sell Underlying Shares in an amount and at such time as is determined in accordance with this Section 10, and to allow the Agent (as defined below) to remit the cash proceeds of such sales to the Company as more specifically set forth below (the “Sell to Cover”) to permit the Grantee to satisfy any Federal, state, local or other taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the vesting of the applicable RSU Award (“Withholding Obligations”) that arise on future Vesting Dates or (B) make arrangements to the Administrator’s satisfaction under his or her existing 10b5-1 trading plan (“Existing 10b5-1 Plan”) to provide for the satisfaction of any Withholding Obligations that arise on future Vesting Dates. If the Grantee does not make arrangements satisfying any Withholding Obligations to the Administrator’s satisfaction under their Existing 10b5-1 Plan by the time of the next Vesting Date, then any such Withholding Obligations for the newly vested Underlying Shares will be satisfied through a Sell to Cover as outlined in Section 10(b) of this Agreement.
(b) In the event of a Sell to Cover under this Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees as follows:
i.The Grantee irrevocably appoints Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., or such other registered broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. as the Administrator may select, as his or her agent (the “Agent”), and authorizes and directs the Agent to:
1.Sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on the Grantee’s behalf, as soon as reasonably practicable on or after each Vesting Date, the number (rounded up to the next whole number) of Underlying Shares that is sufficient to generate proceeds to cover (A) the Withholding Obligations arising from the vesting of the applicable portion of the RSU Award and the related issuance of Underlying Shares to the Grantee and (B) all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto;
2.Remit directly to the Company the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligations;
3.Retain the amount required to cover all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent, relating directly to the sale of the Underlying Shares referred to in clause (1) above; and
4.Remit to the Grantee any remaining funds from the sale of Underlying Shares referred to in clause (1).
ii.The Grantee acknowledges that its agreement to Sell to Cover and the corresponding authorization and instruction to the Agent set forth in this Section 10 are intended to comply with the requirements of Rule
10b5-1(c) under the Act and will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) (the Grantee’s agreement to Sell to Cover and the provisions of this Section 10, collectively, the “10b5-1 Plan”). The Grantee acknowledges that by accepting this RSU Award, he or she is adopting the 10b5-1 Plan to permit the Grantee to satisfy Withholding Obligations. The Grantee hereby authorizes the Company and the Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the number of Underlying Shares that must be sold to satisfy the Withholding Obligations.
iii.The Grantee acknowledges that the Agent is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Underlying Shares at any particular price under this 10b5-1 Plan and that the Agent may effect sales as provided in this 10b5-1 Plan in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders may be assigned to their account. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she will be responsible for all brokerage fees and other costs of sale associated with this 10b5-1 Plan, and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. In addition, the Grantee acknowledges that it may not be possible to sell Underlying Shares as provided for in this 10b5-1 Plan due to (A) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to the Grantee or the Agent, (B) a market disruption, (C) a sale effected pursuant to this 10b5-1 Plan that would not comply (or in the reasonable opinion of the Agent’s counsel is likely not to comply) with the Act, (D) the Company’s determination that sales may not be effected under this 10b5-1 Plan or (E) rules governing order execution priority on the national exchange where the Common Stock may be traded. If the Agent is not able to sell the Underlying Shares, then the Grantee shall continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company of all Withholding Obligations.
iv.The Grantee acknowledges that regardless of any other term or condition of this 10b5-1 Plan, the Agent will not be liable to the Grantee for (A) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, or (B) any failure to perform or for any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond the Agent’s reasonable control.
v.The Grantee agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this 10b5-1 Plan. The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 10 and the terms of this 10b5-1 Plan.
vi.The Grantee’s agreement to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan is irrevocable. Upon acceptance of the RSU Award, Grantee shall have agreed to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan, and Grantee acknowledges that they may not change this decision at any time
in the future with respect to the RSU Award. This 10b5-1 Plan shall terminate on the earlier of:
1.the date on which the Withholding Obligations arising from the last vesting event in respect of the RSU Award and the related issuance of the Underlying Shares having been satisfied;
2.the Grantee’s, Administrator’s or Agent’s reasonable determination that: (a) the 10b5-1 Plan does not comply with Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws or (b) the Grantee has not complied with the 10b5-1 Plan, Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws;
3.receipt by the Agent of a written notice from the Company, Administrator or Grantee regarding: (a) a public announcement having been made of a tender or exchange offer involving the Company’s securities; (b) a definitive agreement having been announced relating to a merger, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction in which the Underlying Shares covered by this 10b5-1 Plan would be subject to a lock-up provision or would be exchanged or converted into cash, securities or other property; (c) a sale having been made of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, or a transaction affecting the Company occurring in which the owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power prior to the transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction; (d) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company having taken place or being in process, or the commencement or impending commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency; or (e) this 10b5-1 Plan or its attendant transactions possibly causing the breach of a contract or agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;
4.receipt by the Agent of written notice of the Grantee’s death or legal incapacity from the Administrator or the Company; or
5.receipt by the Agent of written notice of termination from the Grantee that is signed by the Administrator or the Company.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to deliver Underlying Shares until all applicable Withholding Obligations have been fully satisfied by the Grantee. The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the tax treatment of the grant, vesting, or settlement of this RSU Award or the subsequent sale of any of the Underlying Shares. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure this RSU Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s tax liability.
11.Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereto, and this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent in order to avoid the imposition of any additional tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any delivery of shares of Common Stock or other payment pursuant to this Award occur after the short-term deferral period described in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4). In no event shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Grantee pursuant to Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereto.
12.No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time or for any reason in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, governing law and any applicable Service Agreement, nor shall any terms of the Plan or this Agreement confer upon Grantee any right to continue his or her employment for any specified period of time. Neither this Agreement nor any benefits arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its Affiliates. If Grantee is a non-employee consultant or advisor, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates to terminate Grantee’s service in accordance with the terms of the contract with such consultant or advisor. In no event shall any of the terms of the Plan or this Agreement itself confer upon Grantee any right to continue his or her service for any specified period of time.
13.Notices. Any notice or other communication given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or mailed by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company at its principal place of business or to the Grantee at the address on the Company’s records or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.

All terms used herein that are defined in the Insmed Incorporated 2019 Incentive Plan (as amended through the date hereof, the “Plan”) or the Agreement (defined below) have the same meaning given to them in the Plan or the Agreement, respectively.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee previously entered into the Restricted Unit Award Agreements under the 2019 Incentive Plan for U.S. Employees listed on Annex A hereto (the “Agreements”), pursuant to which the Company granted to the Grantee the RSU Awards identified on Annex A; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee mutually desire to amend the Agreement to reflect the Grantee’s irrevocable agreement to automatic sell on the open market a sufficient number of Underlying Shares required to satisfy any Federal, state, local or other taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the vesting of the applicable RSU Award (“Withholding Obligations”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree as follows:
1.Section 10 of each Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
10.Taxes.
(a) By accepting this Agreement, the Grantee hereby elects to either (A) sell Underlying Shares in an amount and at such time as is determined in accordance with this Section 10, and to allow the Agent (as defined below) to remit the cash proceeds of such sales to the Company as more specifically set forth below (the “Sell to Cover”) to permit the Grantee to satisfy any Federal, state, local or other taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the vesting of the applicable RSU Award (“Withholding Obligations”) that arise on future Vesting Dates or (B) make arrangements to the Administrator’s satisfaction under his or her existing 10b5-1 trading plan (“Existing 10b5-1 Plan”) to provide for the satisfaction of any Withholding Obligations that arise on future Vesting Dates. If the Grantee does not make arrangements satisfying any Withholding Obligations to the Administrator’s satisfaction under their Existing 10b5-1 Plan by the time of the next Vesting Date, then any such Withholding Obligations for the newly vested Underlying Shares will be satisfied through a Sell to Cover as outlined in Section 10(b) of this Agreement.
(b) In the event of a Sell to Cover under this Agreement, the Grantee acknowledges and agrees as follows:
i.The Grantee irrevocably appoints Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., or such other registered broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. as the Administrator may select, as his or her agent (the “Agent”), and authorizes and directs the Agent to:
1.Sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on the Grantee’s behalf, as soon as reasonably practicable on or after each Vesting Date, the number (rounded up to the next whole number) of Underlying Shares that is sufficient to generate proceeds to cover (A) the Withholding Obligations arising from the vesting of the applicable portion of the RSU Award and the related issuance of Underlying Shares to the Grantee and (B) all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto;
2.Remit directly to the Company the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligations;
3.Retain the amount required to cover all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent, relating directly to the sale of the Underlying Shares referred to in clause (1) above; and
4.Remit to the Grantee any remaining funds from the sale of Underlying Shares referred to in clause (1).
ii.The Grantee acknowledges that its agreement to Sell to Cover and the corresponding authorization and instruction to the Agent set forth in this Section 10 are intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Act and will be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) (the Grantee’s agreement to Sell to Cover and the provisions of this Section 10, collectively, the “10b5-1 Plan”). The Grantee acknowledges that he or she is adopting the 10b5-1 Plan to permit the Grantee to satisfy Withholding Obligations. The Grantee hereby authorizes the Company and the Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the number of Underlying Shares that must be sold to satisfy the Withholding Obligations.
iii.The Grantee acknowledges that the Agent is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Underlying Shares at any particular price under this 10b5-1 Plan and that the Agent may effect sales as provided in this 10b5-1 Plan in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders may be assigned to their account. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she will be responsible for all brokerage fees and other costs of sale associated with this 10b5-1 Plan, and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses,
costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. In addition, the Grantee acknowledges that it may not be possible to sell Underlying Shares as provided for in this 10b5-1 Plan due to (A) a legal or contractual restriction applicable to the Grantee or the Agent, (B) a market disruption, (C) a sale effected pursuant to this 10b5-1 Plan that would not comply (or in the reasonable opinion of the Agent’s counsel is likely not to comply) with the Act, (D) the Company’s determination that sales may not be effected under this 10b5-1 Plan or (E) rules governing order execution priority on the national exchange where the Common Stock may be traded. If the Agent is not able to sell the Underlying Shares, then the Grantee shall continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company of all Withholding Obligations.
iv.The Grantee acknowledges that regardless of any other term or condition of this 10b5-1 Plan, the Agent will not be liable to the Grantee for (A) special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, or (B) any failure to perform or for any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond the Agent’s reasonable control.
v.The Grantee agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent any other agreements or documents as the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this 10b5-1 Plan. The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 10 and the terms of this 10b5-1 Plan.
vi.The Grantee’s agreement to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan is irrevocable. Grantee has agreed to Sell to Cover and to enter into this 10b5-1 Plan, and Grantee acknowledges that they may not change this decision at any time in the future with respect to the RSU Award. This 10b5-1 Plan shall terminate on the earlier of:
1.the date on which the Withholding Obligations arising from the last vesting event in respect of the RSU Award and the related issuance of the Underlying Shares having been satisfied;
2.the Grantee’s, Administrator’s or Agent’s reasonable determination that: (a) the 10b5-1 Plan does not comply with Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws or (b) the Grantee has not complied with the 10b5-1 Plan, Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws;
3.receipt by the Agent of a written notice from the Company, Administrator or Grantee regarding: (a) a public announcement having been made of a tender or exchange offer involving the Company’s securities; (b) a definitive agreement having been announced relating to a merger, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction in which the Underlying Shares covered by this
10b5-1 Plan would be subject to a lock-up provision or would be exchanged or converted into cash, securities or other property; (c) a sale having been made of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, or a transaction affecting the Company occurring in which the owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power prior to the transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction; (d) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company having taken place or being in process, or the commencement or impending commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency; or (e) this 10b5-1 Plan or its attendant transactions possibly causing the breach of a contract or agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;
4.receipt by the Agent of written notice of the Grantee’s death or legal incapacity from the Administrator or the Company; or
5.receipt by the Agent of written notice of termination from the Grantee that is signed by the Administrator or the Company.

The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the tax treatment of the grant, vesting, or settlement of this RSU Award or the subsequent sale of any of the Underlying Shares. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure this RSU Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s tax liability.
2.Except as modified by this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

Grantee Name: /$ParticipantName$/
Target Number of PSUs: /$AwardsGranted$/
Grant Date: /$GrantDate$/
Pursuant to the Insmed Incorporated 2019 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as amended through the date hereof and this Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (together with Exhibit A attached hereto, this “Agreement”), Insmed Incorporated (the “Company”) hereby grants an award of performance-based restricted stock units (the “PSUs” or the “PSU Award”) to the individual named above (the “Grantee”). The target number of PSUs subject to this PSU Award is /$AwardsGranted$/ (the “Target PSUs”). Each PSU corresponds to the right to receive one share of Common Stock, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan. The actual number of PSUs that will vest and be settled into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this PSU Award shall depend on the achievement of the performance goals described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Vesting Schedule”) during the Performance Period (as defined in the Vesting Schedule). All terms used herein that are defined in the Plan have the same meaning given them in the Plan.
The Company acknowledges the receipt from the Grantee of consideration with respect to the par value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the PSU Award in the form of cash, past or future services rendered to the Company by the Grantee or such other form of consideration as is acceptable to the Administrator and permitted under the Plan and applicable law.
1.Agreement with Terms. Execution of this Agreement by the Grantee or receipt of any benefits under this Agreement by the Grantee shall constitute the Grantee’s acknowledgement of and agreement with all of the provisions of this Agreement and of the Plan that are applicable to this PSU Award, and the Company shall administer this Agreement accordingly.
2.Restrictions and Conditions on Award. PSUs granted herein shall be subject to all the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan.
3.Timing and Form of Payout of Restricted Stock Units. As soon as practicable (but in no event later than 60 days) following the applicable Vesting Date (as defined below), the Vested PSUs (as defined below) shall be settled in shares of Common Stock (except as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement).
4.Vesting of Award. Except as set forth in Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the PSUs will vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. PSUs that have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule or in accordance with Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement are referred to herein as “Vested PSUs”. The date on which a PSU becomes a Vested PSU is referred to as its “Vesting Date”. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in the Plan, the Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the PSU Award.
5.Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, vesting of the PSU Award may be accelerated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan; provided that, the Board or the Committee may determine the level of performance that is to be deemed met for purposes of such vesting.
6.Termination of Employment or Service. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including the Vesting Schedule) or the Plan, the Grantee must remain continuously employed or engaged by the Company or its Affiliates through the Vesting Date and any portion of the PSU Award that is unvested at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates for any reason shall be forfeited without payment of consideration upon such date. A change in the status (whether as employee, member of the Board or other non-employee advisor or service provider) in which the Grantee renders service to the Company and its Affiliates or a change in the entity for which the Grantee renders such service shall not constitute a termination of the Grantee’s employment or service for purposes of this Agreement, so long as there is no interruption or termination of the Grantee’s services to the Company and its Affiliates; provided, however, that if the entity employing or engaging the Grantee ceases to be an Affiliate of the Company, as determined by the Administrator, the Grantee’s employment or service shall be considered to have terminated on the date such entity ceased to be an Affiliate.

8.Adjustments Upon Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events or Other Events. Upon certain unusual or nonrecurring events, or other events, the terms of these PSUs shall be adjusted by the Administrator pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan.
9.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this PSU Award and this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.

13.No Right to Continued Employment and Other Service Conditions. As a condition to accepting this PSU Award, Grantee acknowledges and agrees as follows:

b.No terms of the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue his or her employment for any specified period of time.
c.Neither this Agreement nor any benefits arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its Affiliates.
d.If Grantee is not an employee, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates to terminate the Grantee’s service, (i) if a member of the Board, on the Board at any time or for any reason in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and governing law, or (ii) if a non-employee consultant or advisor, in accordance with the terms of the contract with such consultant or advisor.
e.In no event shall any of the terms of the Plan or this Agreement itself confer upon Grantee any right to continue his or her service for any specified period of time.
f.Any notice period mandated under applicable law shall not be treated as service for the purpose of determining the vesting of this PSU Award; and Grantee’s right to vesting of this PSU Award after termination of service, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of Grantee’s active service and will not be extended by
any notice period mandated under applicable law. Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of this Agreement, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether Grantee’s service has terminated and the effective date of such termination.

h.Grantee is voluntarily participating in the grant of this PSU Award.

j.The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. The value of the shares may increase or decrease.
k.No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of this PSU Award or diminution in value of this PSU Award or shares of Common Stock subject thereto, and Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen then, by signing this Agreement, Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived Grantee’s entitlement to pursue such a claim.
14.Data Privacy. Grantee understands that the Company may collect, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, Grantee’s personal data as described in this Agreement for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s PSU Award.
