Assertio updates long-term ROLVEDON supply pricing

Assertio Holdings, through its subsidiary Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, amended and restated its supply agreement with Hanmi Pharmaceutical for the ROLVEDON drug substance.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Assertio Holdings, through its subsidiary Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, amended and restated its supply agreement with Hanmi Pharmaceutical for the ROLVEDON drug substance. The change, effective after the fixed pricing provisions expire in October 2025, sets long‑term pricing that includes a mid‑single digit percentage reduction to the price agreed after Assertio acquired Spectrum in 2023.

The new price remains fixed for the rest of Spectrum’s license term with Hanmi, while allowing Hanmi to request price increases for periods beginning January 1, 2028 if its costs rise above a set threshold. The amendment also adds a volume-based feature that reduces per‑gram pricing in years when the prior year’s global market volume passes a specified level. Spectrum must provide annual purchase forecasts, and at least fifty percent of forecasted orders must be binding, though there are no minimum purchase requirements. Other supply terms were not materially changed.

Insights

Pharmaceutical supply & margins analyst

Assertio secures modest long‑term ROLVEDON cost reduction with added volume and cost‑based adjustments.

The amendment locks in a mid‑single digit percentage price cut for ROLVEDON drug substance relative to the level agreed after Assertio’s 2023 Spectrum acquisition. Fixing this lower price for the remaining term of Spectrum’s license with Hanmi can support product gross margins, subject to the later adjustment mechanisms described.

From January 2028, Hanmi may request price increases if its costs rise above a defined threshold, while a separate provision reduces per‑gram pricing for years when the prior year’s global market volume exceeds a specified trigger. This creates a balance between supplier cost protection and buyer volume incentives. Spectrum’s consent is required for manufacturing process changes, giving it leverage to negotiate further price reductions when process improvements lower Hanmi’s costs.

The requirement for annual forecasted purchase plans, with at least fifty percent of included orders designated as binding, improves planning coordination without imposing minimum purchase commitments. Future disclosures in the company’s 2025 Form 10‑K, where the full amendment will be filed as an exhibit, may provide additional operational details.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 7, 2025, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Assertio Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), and Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (the “Supplier”) entered into an amendment and restatement (the “Amendment”) of the Supply Agreement dated February 28, 2018, as previously amended, which provides for the supply of ROLVEDON drug substance to Spectrum (the “Agreement”). Among other things, the Amendment establishes long-term pricing following the expiration of the Agreement’s fixed pricing provisions in October 2025.

The Amendment reflects a mid-single digit percentage reduction to the price Spectrum agreed to pay the Supplier for ROLVEDON drug substance following the Company’s acquisition of Spectrum in 2023. Pursuant to the Amendment, the new price is fixed throughout the remaining term of Spectrum’s license agreement with the Supplier, subject to (1) the Supplier’s right to request price increases for periods beginning January 1, 2028, to the extent it experiences cost increases above a set threshold, and (2) a provision that reduces the per gram pricing by a specified amount for each year in which the previous year’s global market volume for ROLVEDON exceeds a specified threshold which has not yet been met. Spectrum’s consent is required for any changes to Supplier’s manufacturing process. Accordingly, Spectrum may seek to negotiate a lower supply price as a condition to its approval of any future process improvements that lower the Supplier’s costs.

Pursuant to the Amendment, Spectrum will also be required to provide the Supplier with a forecasted purchase plan each year. While there are no minimum purchase requirements, if Spectrum includes any orders in a forecasted purchase plan, it must designate at least fifty percent of such orders as binding. None of the Agreement’s other supply terms were materially amended.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.
