A significant portion of our revenue is concentrated on sales of our products in increasingly competitive [removed: markets and in markets affected directly and indirectly by the COVID-19 pandemic.][added: markets.]
- the [removed: introduction or] [added: introduction,] greater acceptance [added: or more favorable reimbursement] of competing products, including new originator therapies, generics, prodrugs and biosimilars of existing products and products approved under abbreviated regulatory pathways;
[removed: ADUHELM] [added: LEQEMBI] is in the early stages of commercial launch in the U.S. In addition to risks associated with new product launches and the other factors described in these Risk Factors, [removed: our] [added: Biogen’s and Eisai’s] ability to successfully commercialize [removed: ADUHELM] [added: LEQEMBI] may be adversely affected due to:
- [removed: our] [added: Eisai’s] ability to obtain and maintain [added: adequate] reimbursement for [removed: ADUHELM;][added: LEQEMBI;]
- the effectiveness of [removed: our] [added: Eisai's and Biogen’s] commercial strategy for marketing [removed: ADUHELM;][added: LEQEMBI; and]
- [removed: our] [added: Eisai’s and Biogen’s] ability to maintain a positive reputation among patients, healthcare providers and others in the Alzheimer’s disease community, which may be impacted by pricing and reimbursement decisions relating to [removed: ADUHELM.][added: LEQEMBI, which are made by Eisai.]
The FDA may withdraw approval [removed: if, among other things, the confirmatory trial fails to verify clinical benefit, ADUHELM's benefit-risk is no longer positive or we] [added: if Eisai and Biogen] fail to comply with the conditions of the accelerated approval.
Our long-term success will depend upon the successful development of new products from our research and development activities or our licenses or acquisitions from third-parties, [removed: including our commercialization agreements with Samsung Bioepis,] as well as additional indications for our existing products.
Success in preclinical work or [removed: early stage] [added: early-stage] clinical trials does not ensure that later stage or larger scale clinical trials will be successful.
- inability to obtain appropriate pricing and [added: adequate] reimbursement for our products compared to our competitors in key international markets; or
- our ability to [removed: recieve] [added: receive] reimbursement for our [added: products or our ability to receive comparable reimbursement to that of competing] products; and
[added: This may create the opportunity for] third-party cross-border trade or influence our decision to sell or not to sell a product, thus adversely affecting our geographic expansion plans and revenue.
Drug prices are under significant scrutiny in the markets in which our products are [removed: prescribed.][added: prescribed; for example the IRA has certain provisions related to drug pricing.]
New products marketed by our competitors could cause our revenue to decrease due to potential price [removed: reductions and lower sales volumes.]
We depend on relationships with [removed: collaborators, joint venture partners] [added: collaborators] and other third-parties for revenue, and for the development, regulatory approval, commercialization and marketing of certain of our products and product candidates, which are outside of our full control.
We rely on a number of [removed: collaborative, joint venture] [added: collaborative] and other third-party relationships for revenue and the development, regulatory approval, commercialization and marketing of certain of our products and product candidates.
- we may be unable to control the resources our [removed: collaborators, joint venture partners] [added: collaborators] or third-parties devote to our programs, products or product candidates;
- disputes may arise under an agreement, including with respect to the achievement and payment of milestones, payment of development or commercial costs, ownership of rights to technology developed, and the underlying agreement may fail to provide us with significant protection or may fail to be effectively enforced if the [removed: collaborators, joint ventures partners] [added: collaborators] or third-parties fail to perform;
- the interests of our [removed: collaborators, joint venture partners] [added: collaborators] or third-parties may not always be aligned with our interests, and such parties may not pursue regulatory approvals or market a product in the same manner or to the same extent that we would, which could adversely affect our revenue, or may adopt tax strategies that could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition;
- any failure on the part of our [removed: collaborators, joint venture partners] [added: collaborators] or third-parties to comply with applicable laws, including tax laws, regulatory requirements and/or applicable contractual obligations or to fulfill any responsibilities they may have to protect and enforce any intellectual property rights underlying our products could have an adverse effect on our revenue as well as involve us in possible legal proceedings; and
- any improper conduct or actions on the part of our [removed: collaborators, joint venture partners] [added: collaborators] or third-parties could subject us to civil or criminal investigations and monetary and injunctive penalties, impact the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting and/or adversely impact our ability to conduct business, our operating results and our reputation.
Legislative and regulatory proposals, enactments to reform health care insurance programs [added: (including those contained in the IRA)] and increasing pressure from social sources could significantly [removed: influence the manner in which our products are prescribed and purchased.]
For example, two committees of the U.S. House of Representatives [removed: are investigating] [added: previously investigated] the approval and price of ADUHELM.
In addition, there have [removed: been,] [added: been (including elements of the IRA),] and are expected to continue to be, legislative proposals to address prescription drug pricing.
- *Reliance on Third-Parties.* We are dependent, in part, on the efforts of [removed: Samsung Bioepis,] collaboration partners and other third-parties over whom we have limited or no control in the development and manufacturing of biosimilars products.
- *Failure to Gain Market and Patient Acceptance.* Market success of biosimilar products will be adversely affected if patients, physicians and/or payors do not accept biosimilar products as safe and efficacious products offering a more competitive price or other benefit over existing therapies; [added: and]
If we encounter any manufacturing or supply chain difficulties we may be unable to meet [removed: higher than anticipated] demand.
[removed: We are dependent on a third-party for the manufacture of our biosimilar products and such third-party may not perform its obligations in a timely and] cost-effective manner or in compliance with applicable regulations and may be unable or unwilling to increase production capacity commensurate with demand for our existing or future biosimilar products; [removed: and]
- *Competitive Challenges.* Biosimilar products face significant competition, including from innovator products and biosimilar products offered by other [removed: companies.][added: companies that may receive greater acceptance or more favorable reimbursement.]
The number of competitors in a jurisdiction, the timing of approval and the ability to market biosimilar products successfully in a timely and cost-effective manner are additional factors that may impact our success [removed: and/or the success of Samsung Bioepis] in this business area.
In addition, settlements of such proceedings often result in reducing the period of [removed: patent] [added: exclusivity] and other protections, resulting in a reduction in revenue from affected products.
Such proceedings are unpredictable and are often [added: protracted and expensive.]
Furthermore, payments under any licenses that we are able to obtain [removed: would] [added: could] reduce our profits from the covered products and services.
[removed: Even if later stage clinical trials are successful,] regulatory authorities may delay or decline approval of our product candidates.
Regulatory authorities may disagree with our view of the data, require additional [removed: studies or] [added: studies,] disagree with our trial design or [removed: endpoints.][added: endpoints or not approve adequate reimbursement.]
One CRO has responsibility for a substantial portion of our activities and reporting related to our clinical [added: trials, adversely affect our expense associated with such] trials and if such CRO does not adequately perform, many of our trials may be affected.
Social media practices in the biopharmaceutical industry continue to evolve and regulations relating to such use are not always clear and [removed: creates] [added: create] uncertainty and risk of noncompliance with regulations [removed: applicable to our business.]
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to modify our business practices in ways that heighten this dependence, including changing the requirement that most of our office-based employees in the U.S. and our other key markets work from the [removed: office.][added: office, with a number of our employees now working in hybrid or full-remote positions.]
Breakdowns, invasions, corruptions, destructions and/or breaches of our technology [removed: systems,] [added: systems or those of our business partners,] including our cloud technologies, and/or unauthorized access to our data and information could subject us to liability, negatively impact our business operations, and/or require replacement of technology and/or ransom payments.
[removed: Data] privacy or security breaches also pose a risk that sensitive data, including intellectual property, trade secrets or personal information belonging to us, patients, customers or other business partners, may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public.

We are focused on advancing our pipeline in neurology, neuropsychiatry, specialized immunology and rare diseases.
We also collaborate with Eisai on the commercialization of LEQEMBI for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which was granted accelerated approval by the FDA in January 2023.
In addition to continuing to invest in new potential innovation in MS and SMA we are advancing our mid-to-late stage programs including zuranolone for MDD and PPD, BIIB080 for Alzheimer's disease, tofersen for ALS and both litifilimab and dapirolizumab pegol for certain forms of lupus.
We also commercialize biosimilars of advanced biologics including BENEPALI, an etanercept biosimilar referencing ENBREL, IMRALDI, an adalimumab biosimilar referencing HUMIRA, and FLIXABI, an infliximab biosimilar referencing REMICADE, in certain countries in Europe, as well as BYOOVIZ, a ranibizumab biosimilar referencing LUCENTIS, in the U.S. We continue to develop potential biosimilar products including BIIB800, a proposed tocilizumab biosimilar referencing ACTEMRA, and SB15, a proposed aflibercept biosimilar referencing EYLEA.
In February 2023 we announced that we are exploring strategic options for our biosimilars business.
Solothurn has been approved for the manufacture of ADUHELM and LEQEMBI by the FDA.
We estimate the second manufacturing suite at the Solothurn facility will be operational by the end of 2023.
In the longer term, our revenue growth will depend upon the successful clinical development, regulatory approval and launch of new commercial

In April 2022 the CMS released a final NCD for the class of anti-amyloid treatments in Alzheimer's disease, including ADUHELM.
The final NCD confirmed coverage with evidence development, in which patients with Medicare can only access treatment if they are part of an approved clinical trial.
This decision effectively resulted in denying all Medicare beneficiaries access to ADUHELM.
We expect that this decision will reduce future demand for ADUHELM to a minimal level.
Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded approximately $111.0 million of aggregate gross idle capacity charges related to ADUHELM.
These charges were recorded in cost of sales within our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022.
We have recognized approximately $197.0 million related to Eisai's 45.0% share of inventory, idle capacity charges and contractual commitments in collaboration profit (loss) sharing
within our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Additionally, as a result of the final NCD we have substantially eliminated our commercial infrastructure supporting ADUHELM, retaining minimal resources to manage patient access programs, including a continued free drug program for patients currently on treatment in the U.S.
We expect to continue funding certain regulatory and research and development activities for ADUHELM, including the continuation of the EMBARK re-dosing study and the Phase 4 post-marketing requirement study, ENVISION.
Additional actions regarding ADUHELM may be informed by upcoming data readouts expected for this class of antibodies, as well as further engagement with the FDA and CMS.
On March 14, 2022, we amended our ADUHELM Collaboration Agreement with Eisai.
As of the amendment date, we have sole decision making and commercialization rights worldwide on ADUHELM, and beginning January 1, 2023, Eisai receives only a tiered royalty based on net sales of ADUHELM, and no longer participates in sharing ADUHELM's global profits and losses.
Eisai's share of development, commercialization and manufacturing expense was limited to $335.0 million for the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, which was achieved as of December 31, 2022.
Once this limit was achieved, we became responsible for all ADUHELM related costs.
In April 2022 we announced our decision to withdraw our MAA for aducanumab in Europe.
In the E.U., we are seeking to enforce a patent granted in June 2022 that relates to TECFIDERA and expires in 2028.
In addition, we are litigating to affirm that TECFIDERA is entitled to regulatory data and

On October 6, 2022, the Advocate General of the CJEU issued a nonbinding advisory opinion in Biogen's favor.
This opinion recommends that the CJEU set aside the judgment of the European General Court.
We are awaiting the decision of the CJEU.

directly or indirectly, have a further impact on timing in the future.
*Geopolitical Tensions*
The ongoing geopolitical tensions related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine have resulted in global business disruptions and economic volatility, including sanctions and other restrictions levied on the government and businesses in Russia.
Although we do not have affiliates or employees, in either Russia or Ukraine, we do provide various therapies to patients in Russia through a distributor and are currently involved in clinical trials with sites in Ukraine and Russia.
The timing and costs of these trials may be impacted as a result of the conflict.
In addition, new government sanctions on the export of certain manufacturing materials to Russia may delay or limit our ability to get new products approved.
The impact of the conflict on our operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflict, its impact on regional and global economic conditions and whether the conflict spreads or has effects on countries outside Ukraine and Russia.
We also commercialize biosimilars of advanced biologics and focus on advancing our pipeline in neuroscience and specialized immunology.
Lastly, we are focused on accelerating our efforts in digital health to support our commercial and pipeline programs while also creating opportunities for potential digital therapeutics.
owned member of the Roche Group.
Our innovative drug development and commercialization activities are complemented by our biosimilar business that expands access to medicines and reduces the cost burden for healthcare systems.
Through our agreements with Samsung Bioepis, our joint venture with Samsung BioLogics, we market and sell BENEPALI, an etanercept biosimilar referencing ENBREL, IMRALDI, an adalimumab biosimilar referencing HUMIRA, and FLIXABI, an infliximab biosimilar referencing REMICADE, in certain countries in Europe.
In addition, we believe that the Solothurn site may provide us with the ability to further expand if we need additional large scale manufacturing capacity to support future clinical and commercial manufacturing requirements.

The U.S. ADUHELM product label states that treatment with ADUHELM should be initiated in patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia stage of disease, the population which was studied in clinical trials.
We expect patient uptake will be gradual and we do not expect all eligible patients will be treated with ADUHELM for a variety of reasons, including appropriate patient selection criteria, a complex diagnostic and care pathway, the lack of readiness of healthcare providers and institutions to initiate treatment, concern regarding the accelerated approval of ADUHELM and its data and the ability to obtain and maintain adequate reimbursement for ADUHELM.
In January 2022 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a proposed NCD decision memorandum, stating the proposed NCD would cover FDA approved monoclonal antibodies that target amyloid for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease for people with Medicare only if they are enrolled in qualifying clinical trials.
We expect a final Medicare NCD by the second quarter of 2022, which should clarify Medicare reimbursement for the class of antibodies directed against amyloid.
If the final
NCD is not broader than the proposed NCD, our future operating results may be negatively impacted.
Under our collaboration agreement with Eisai (ADUHELM Collaboration Agreement), we and Eisai will co-promote ADUHELM with a region-based profit split, with Eisai reimbursing us for 45.0% of development and commercialization costs incurred by the collaboration for the advancement of ADUHELM in the U.S. Shipments of ADUHELM commenced during the second quarter of 2021.
We have made, and may continue to make, commercial, medical and infrastructure investments in support of activities associated with the launch of ADUHELM in the U.S.
If we do not receive regulatory approval or are unable to successfully commercialize aducanumab in other jurisdictions, our financial condition, business and operations may be adversely affected.
In 2020 U.S. federal courts in West Virginia and Delaware entered judgments in favor of the defendants in patent infringement proceedings relating to TECFIDERA Orange-Book listed patents.
We appealed both decisions.
In late 2021 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit) affirmed the judgment of the West Virginia federal court.
The appeals in the Delaware cases were stayed and we expect will remain so until the decision in the West Virginia case becomes final.

In November 2021 the CHMP of the EMA issued an ad hoc opinion referencing the General Court’s decision which concluded that "the totality of the available data cannot establish that \[monoethyl fumarate\] exerts a clinically relevant therapeutic contribution within FUMADERM." The EC will decide TECFIDERA’s entitlement to regulatory data and market protection.
If data and market protection is not upheld, we could face generic competition in the E.U. as early as the first half of 2022, which would have an adverse impact on our TECFIDERA sales in the E.U. and our results of operations.
To help mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to our clinical trials, we are pursuing innovative approaches such as remote monitoring, remote patient visits and supporting home infusions.
These alternative measures have resulted in an immaterial increase to the cost of the clinical trials underway.

This decrease was primarily due to a $1,735.4 million, or 22.2%, decrease in MS product revenue and a $147.0 million, or 7.2%, decrease in SPINRAZA product revenue, partially offset by a $35.3 million, or 4.4%, increase in revenue from our biosimilar business.
◦The decrease in MS product revenue was primarily due to a decrease in U.S. TECFIDERA demand as a result of multiple TECFIDERA generic entrants in the U.S. market.
◦The decrease in SPINRAZA revenue was primarily due to a decrease in demand as a result of increased competition in the U.S. and Germany as well as a decrease in pricing in the U.S. and rest of world markets, partially offset by an increase in sales volumes in Latin America and certain distributor markets.
◦The decrease in other revenue was primarily due to higher contract manufacturing revenue in 2020, resulting from $346.2 million in revenue related to the delivery of the license for certain of our manufacturing-related intellectual property to a contract manufacturing customer.
◦The decrease in research and development expense was primarily due to $1,893.3 million in upfront payments recognized in 2020 in connection with our collaborations with Sangamo, Denali and Sage, partially offset by a $125.0 million upfront payment recognized in connection with our collaboration with InnoCare in 2021.
*◦*The decrease was partially offset by a $304.5 million, or 16.9%, increase in cost of sales, which was primarily driven by $164.0 million of charges associated with inventory and purchase commitments in excess of forecasted demand related to ADUHELM during 2021 as well as higher impairment charges recorded during 2021 as compared to 2020.

We are subject to certain risks that may affect our results of operations, cash flow and fair values of assets and liabilities, including volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate movements and equity price exposure as well as changes in economic conditions in the markets in which we operate as a result of the COVID-19 [removed: pandemic.][added: pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine.]
As a result, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow can be affected by market fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily with respect to the Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Swiss [removed: franc, Japanese yen] [added: franc] and [removed: South Korean won.][added: Japanese yen.]
[removed: The impact to net income as a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar will be partially] mitigated by the value of non-U.S. expense, which will also decline when reported in U.S. dollars.
We have established revenue and operating expense hedging and balance sheet risk management programs to protect against volatility of future foreign currency cash [removed: flows] [added: flow] and changes in fair value caused by volatility in foreign currency exchange rates.
This categorization did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position as of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] and is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position in the future.
We use foreign currency forward contracts [added: and foreign currency options] to manage foreign currency risk, with the majority of our forward contracts used to hedge certain forecasted revenue and operating expense transactions denominated in foreign currencies in the next [removed: 15] [added: 12] months.
For a more detailed disclosure of our revenue and operating expense hedging program, please read *Note [removed: 9,] [added: 10,] Derivative Instruments,* to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Our net investment hedging program is designed to mitigate currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the South Korean won as a result of our approximately 49.9% ownership interest in Samsung Bioepis.
We entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge changes in the spot rate over the next 10 months.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, a hypothetical adverse 10.0% movement would result in a hypothetical decrease in fair value of approximately $58.7 million and $56.9 million, respectively.
The estimated fair value was determined by measuring the impact of the hypothetical spot rate movement on outstanding forward contracts.
We plan to unwind our foreign currency forward contracts in conjunction with the closing of our proposed sale of our ownership interest in Samsung Bioepis to Samsung Biologics.
Closing of the transaction is currently anticipated in mid-2022, contingent on the effectiveness of a securities registration statement filed by Samsung Biologics and satisfaction of certain regulatory and other customary closing conditions.
We attempt to minimize the risks related
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, a hypothetical adverse 10.0% movement would result in a hypothetical decrease in fair value of approximately $104.8 million and $188.8 million, respectively.

In March 2022 we extended our supply agreement with Eisai related to LEQEMBI from five years to ten years for the manufacture of LEQEMBI drug substance.
*ADUHELM Collaboration Agreement*
On March 14, 2022, we amended our ADUHELM Collaboration Agreement with Eisai.
As of the amendment date, we have sole decision making and commercialization rights worldwide on ADUHELM, and beginning January 1, 2023, Eisai receives only a tiered royalty based on net sales of ADUHELM, and no longer participates in sharing ADUHELM's global profits and losses.
Eisai's share of development, commercialization and manufacturing expense was limited to $335.0 million for the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, which was achieved as of December 31, 2022.
Once this limit was achieved, we became responsible for all ADUHELM related costs.
In June 2022 we and our collaboration partner Sage Therapeutics, Inc. (Sage) announced that the Phase 3 SKYLARK study of zuranolone, for the potential treatment of MDD and PPD, met its primary and all key secondary endpoints.

*Alcyone Therapeutics*
In December 2022 we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Alcyone Therapeutics (Alcyone) to jointly develop the ThecaFlex DRx™ System, an implantable medical device intended for subcutaneous delivery of antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapies with a goal of improving the patient treatment experience and accessibility for people suffering from neurological disorders, such as SMA and ALS.
Under the terms of this collaboration, we and Alcyone will jointly develop the ThecaFlex DRx™ System and Alcyone will be solely responsible for its manufacture and commercialization.
*Corporate Matters*
In April 2022 we completed the sale of our 49.9% equity interest in Samsung Bioepis to Samsung BioLogics Co., Ltd. (Samsung BioLogics).
Our policy for contingent payments of this nature is to recognize the payments in the period that they become realizable, which is generally the same period in which the payments are earned.
*2022 Cost Saving Initiatives*
In December 2021 and May 2022 we announced our plans to implement a series of cost-reduction measures that when completed we expect may yield approximately $1.0 billion in expense savings.
These savings are being achieved through a number of initiatives, including reductions to our workforce, the substantial elimination of our commercial ADUHELM infrastructure, the consolidation of certain real estate locations and operating efficiency gains across our selling, general and administrative and research and development functions.
Under these initiatives, we estimate we will incur total restructuring charges of approximately $131.0 million, primarily related to severance.
These amounts were substantially incurred during 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, approximately $35.9 million remained in our restructuring reserve and payments are expected to be made through 2026.
For additional information on our 2022 cost saving initiatives, please read *Note 4, Restructuring*, to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
*125 Broadway Sale and Leaseback Transaction*
We also commercialize biosimilars of advanced biologics and focus on advancing our pipeline in neuroscience and specialized immunology.
Lastly, we are focused on accelerating our efforts in digital health to support our commercial and pipeline programs while also creating opportunities for potential digital therapeutics.
For over two decades we have led in the research and development of new therapies to treat MS, resulting in our leading portfolio of MS treatments.
Now our research is focused on developing next generation treatments for MS. We introduced the first approved treatment for SMA and are continuing to pursue research and development for potential advancements in the treatment of SMA.
We are also applying our scientific expertise to solve some of the most challenging and complex diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, ALS, Parkinson's disease, major depressive disorder (MDD), postpartum depression (PPD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia (CIAS), stroke and neuropathic pain.
Our innovative drug development and commercialization activities are complemented by our biosimilar business that expands access to medicines and reduces the cost burden for healthcare systems.
Through our agreements with Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. (Samsung Bioepis), our joint venture with Samsung BioLogics Co., Ltd. (Samsung BioLogics), we market and sell BENEPALI, an etanercept biosimilar referencing ENBREL, IMRALDI, an adalimumab biosimilar referencing HUMIRA, and FLIXABI, an infliximab biosimilar referencing REMICADE, in certain countries in Europe.
*Bio-Thera Solutions*
In April 2021 we entered into a commercialization and license agreement to develop, manufacture and commercialize BAT1806, a Phase 3 clinical stage anti-interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor monoclonal antibody that is a proposed biosimilar referencing ACTEMRA.

*InnoCare Pharma Limited*
Under the terms of this collaboration, we have exclusive rights to orelabrutinib in the field of MS worldwide and certain autoimmune diseases outside of China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), while InnoCare retains exclusive worldwide rights to orelabrutinib in the field of oncology and certain autoimmune diseases in China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan).
In connection with this agreement, we made an upfront payment of $125.0 million to InnoCare.
*BIIB115 Option Exercise*
In December 2021 we exercised our option with Ionis and obtained a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-bearing license to develop and commercialize BIIB115, a preclinical investigational ASO in development for SMA.
In connection with this option exercise, we made an opt-in payment of $60.0 million to Ionis.
*Samsung Bioepis - Biogen's Joint Venture with Samsung BioLogics*
In January 2022 we entered into an agreement to sell to Samsung Biologics our equity in Samsung Bioepis.
Closing of the transaction is currently anticipated in mid-2022, contingent on the effectiveness of a securities registration statement filed by Samsung Biologics and satisfaction of certain regulatory and other customary closing conditions.
*ADUHELM (aducanumab)*
In June 2021 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval of ADUHELM, which we are developing and commercializing in collaboration with Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai), based on reduction in amyloid beta plaques observed in patients treated with ADUHELM.
As part of the accelerated approval, we will conduct a confirmatory trial to verify the clinical benefit of ADUHELM in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
The FDA may withdraw approval if, among other things, the confirmatory trial fails to verify clinical benefit of ADUHELM, ADUHELM's benefit-risk is no longer positive or we fail to comply with the conditions of the accelerated approval.
In December 2021 the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a negative opinion on the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for aducanumab in Europe.
We are seeking a re-examination of the opinion by the CHMP.
In January 2022 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a proposed National Coverage Determination (NCD) decision memorandum stating the proposed NCD would cover FDA approved monoclonal antibodies that target amyloid for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease for people with Medicare only if they are enrolled in qualifying clinical trials.
We expect a final Medicare NCD by the second quarter of 2022, which should clarify Medicare reimbursement for the class of antibodies directed against amyloid.

In October 2021 we and Sage announced our plan to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for zuranolone in the second half of 2022, with rolling submission expected to start in the first half of 2022.
The planned initial submission package will seek approval of zuranolone for MDD and an additional filing for PPD is anticipated in the first half of 2023.
*Lecanemab (BAN2401)*
In June 2021 the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for lecanemab, an anti-amyloid antibody for the potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which we are developing in collaboration with Eisai.
In September 2021 Eisai initiated a rolling submission to the FDA of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for lecanemab.
The BLA is being submitted under the accelerated approval pathway and is primarily based in clinical, biomarker and safety data from the Phase 2b clinical trial in patients with early Alzheimer's disease and confirmed amyloid pathology.
*BYOOVIZ (ranibizumab-nuna)*
In September 2021 we announced that the FDA has approved BYOOVIZ (ranibizumab-nuna), a biosimilar referencing LUCENTIS for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration, macular edema following retinal vein occlusion and myopic choroidal neovascularization.
In addition to the U.S. approval, BYOOVIZ was approved in the E.U. and the U.K. during the third quarter of 2021.
In October 2021 we announced topline results from our pivotal Phase 3 VALOR study of BIIB067 (tofersen), an investigational antisense drug being evaluated for people with superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), indicating that the primary endpoint was not met.

We also collaborate with Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai) on the commercialization of LEQEMBI for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which was granted accelerated approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2023.
In addition to continuing to invest in new potential innovation in MS and SMA we are advancing our mid-to-late stage programs including zuranolone for major depressive disorder (MDD) and postpartum depression (PPD), BIIB080 for Alzheimer's disease, tofersen for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and both litifilimab and dapirolizumab pegol for certain forms of lupus.
We also commercialize biosimilars of advanced biologics including BENEPALI, an etanercept biosimilar referencing ENBREL, IMRALDI, an adalimumab biosimilar referencing HUMIRA, and FLIXABI, an infliximab biosimilar referencing REMICADE, in certain countries in Europe, as well as BYOOVIZ, a ranibizumab biosimilar referencing LUCENTIS, in the U.S. We continue to develop potential biosimilar products including BIIB800, a proposed tocilizumab biosimilar referencing ACTEMRA, and SB15, a proposed aflibercept biosimilar referencing EYLEA.
