Post# of 17
Posted On: 01/16/2015 1:30:16 AM
In December 2006, PharmAthene, Inc. (PIP) filed a complaint against SIGA Technologies, Inc. (SIGA) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, alleging, among other things, that the Company has the right to license exclusively development and marketing rights for SIGA's smallpox antiviral, Tecovirimat, also known as ST-246, pursuant to a merger agreement between the parties that was terminated in October 2006.
PIP reported after the closing bell on Thursday that the Delaware Court of Chancery has entered its Final Order and Judgment in its litigation against SIGA.
The Court's judgment against SIGA totaled $194,649,041.74, including $113,116,985.00 in lump sum expectation damages for the value of PIP's lost profits for SIGA's Tecovirimat, and $81,532,056.74 in pre-judgment interest and attorneys' and expert witness fees. In addition, SIGA will be required to pay post-judgment interest of $30,663.89 per day, beginning today.
The court's determination, along with the decision itself, will remain subject to appeal by SIGA to the Delaware Supreme Court. Because SIGA has filed for protection under the Federal bankruptcy laws, PIP's ability to collect a money judgment from SIGA remains subject to further proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court.
The price of PIP stock rose more than 10% in after-hours trading.
PIP is a biodefense company engaged in the development and commercialization of next generation medical countermeasures against biological and chemical threats.
