Update: An update on several fronts

In its Q315 earnings release, PDL announced that Valeant may not have met some of the contractual obligations of its Depomed royalty agreement and PDL is now expecting to begin a royalty audit process by the end of the year. In addition, due to the recall of the Auvi-Q allergy injector on 28 October, there is a question about the Kaleo note, as a long absence from the market could lead to constraints in cash flow from that company. We do not believe any of these issues is major and at this stage are not making any significant changes to our forecasts. More recently, PDL announced that LENSAR, a company that had been put up for sale, was sold, reviving that investment, which had been impaired.
