Company History -      Based in Buffalo, New York, Athenex was formed in 2003 and has been funded from inception by approximately $200 million in private financings.

Athenex is a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapies for the treatment of cancer. The Company's mission is to improve the lives of cancer patients by creating more effective, safer and tolerable treatments. Athenex has generated its clinical product candidates through its

 

 

 

 


Athenex Capital (AB127)

Orascovery and Src Kinase Inhibition research platforms, which are based on the company's understanding of human absorption biology and novel approaches to inhibiting kinase activity, respectively. Athenex believes that its ability to overcome the challenges of oral delivery of chemotherapy and limitations associated with IV delivery, via the company's P-gp inhibitor, offers significant potential benefits to patient outcomes by allowing patients to stay on therapy longer and extending the potential opportunities to combine with other agents, including targeted and immunotherapies that would otherwise be too toxic in combination with IV chemotherapy.

Athenex has assembled a leadership team and has established global operations in the U.S. and China across the pharmaceutical value chain to execute its mission to become a global leader in bringing innovative cancer treatments to the market and improve health outcomes.

The Company has a business model positioned to capture value by creating opportunities through multiple levers for growth. The company has built a commercial sales and marketing infrastructure in the U.S. and intends to continue to further build out this segment. Athenex expects this segment to start selling existing in-licensed therapeutically related oncology products in 2017 as a means of funding commercial infrastructure.

Athenex believes internalization of its supply chain is uniquely suited to execute in both the U.S. and China, two of the world's largest pharmaceutical markets. Athenex intends to utilize cGMP manufacturing facilities in New York State and China as a mechanism to access the U.S. and China markets and minimize supply disruptions. Athenex intends to manufacture certain of its proprietary drugs and its partnered drugs commercialized around the world.

The Company has acquired three businesses in the past several years: (1) in September

2014,the company acquired QuaDPharma, LLC, now known as Athenex Pharma Solutions, LLC, which provides cGMP manufacturing, packaging and laboratory services; (2) in June

2015,Athenex acquired Polymed Therapeutics, Inc. and Chongqing Taihao Pharmaceutical Co Ltd, collectively Polymed. Polymed markets and sells API and medical devices throughout the world. Through its cGMP facility in Chongqing, China, Polymed manufactures API and conducts research and development of novel drugs and therapies; and (3) in July 2015, Athenex acquired Comprehensive Drug Enterprises Limited in Hong Kong, which primarily performs research and development activities.

Athenex's Commercial Platform currently markets API produced by its Global Supply Chain Platform, including 14 products in the specialty and generic market segment in the U.S. and products under Section 503B of the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, through the Company's compounding pharmacy facility in Newstead, NY.

Ownership - Privately owned

 

Market-

Pharmaceuticalindustry

ESP Involvement - In February 2016, Governor Cuomo announced a major public-private partnership with Athenex in accordance with an agreement between Athenex (then known as Kjnex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and Fort Schuyler Management Company ("FSMC"), entitled Agreement for Medical Technology Research, Development, Innovation, and Commercialization Alliance, dated May 21, 2015, as amended ("Agreement"). This public-private partnership includes $225 million in state funding for the establishment of a North American corporate headquarters and innovation center in Buffalo ($25 million) and for the construction of a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Dunkirk ($200 million).

FSMC is a SUNY Poly affiliated, private, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation that develops, constructs and manages world-class research, development and commercialization facilities to enable public-private partnerships.

The first part of the grant under the Agreement, in the amount of $25 million, was funded from the Buffalo Billion Initiative for the establishment of Athenex's North American corporate headquarters in Buffalo. ESD Directors approved the funding on February 18, 2016; the funding is currently being utilized for the construction, fit-up and equipping of office and research and development lab space in the 51,000-square-foot 6th floor of the newly-constructed Conventus Building on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The office space was complete in late fall 2016; the research and development component is nearing completion. FSMC will own the facility improvements, as well as the furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment it purchased; the Company is currently occupying the space under a long-term lease. Any moneys remaining from the $25 million headquarters will be invested in the Dunkirk manufacturing project. That amount is presently anticipated to be less than $1 million.

The current grant under the Agreement, in the amount of $200 million, is part of a special appropriation for Chautauqua and Erie County High Technology Manufacturing, New York State ("NYS"), and is for the construction of a +/- 315,000-square-foot state-of-the-art pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. Athenex will use this facility to manufacture sterile high potency oncology drugs in a specialized, controlled environment for shipment around the world. These drugs are some of the most important oncology drugs globally for patients suffering from cancer.

Under the Agreement, FSMC will retain ownership of the facility and the equipment purchased with grant moneys. Athenex is entitled to lease the facility and all equipment for an initial 10-year term, and Athenex may extend the lease for an additional 10-year term. Athenex is responsible for all operating costs and expenses for the facility. In exchange, pursuant to the Agreement, Athenex has committed to spending $1.52 billion on operational expenses in its first 10-year term in the facility, and an additional $1.5 billion on operational expenses if the term of the lease is extended for a second 10-year term. Athenex has also committed to hiring 450 employees within the first 5 years of Manufacturing Facility operation following Manufacturing Facility Completion.

 

The total NYS investment for both projects under the Agreement will not exceed $225 million, and the combined projects are expected to yield a $1.62 billion investment by Athenex over the ten years following completion of the projects.

Past ESP Support - Funding for the past five years to the Grantee (through FSMC), totaling $25 million, is summarized in the following chart.

Ten years from Manufacturing Facility Completion

Capital - Athenex's Buffalo Headquarters

 

The Project:

Completion - Construction Completion: December 2019
                        Operational Facility: June 2021

 

Activity - Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will construct a +/- .315,000-square- foot state-of-the-art pharmaceutical manufacturing facility to include production support, engineering support, enhanced warehousing, local administrative offices, conference rooms and personnel welfare areas. The project also involves the purchase and installation of new machinery and equipment.

 

The land and improvements will be owned by Fort Schuyler Management Corporation or another entity as designated by BSD. Machinery and equipment purchased with funds provided by BSD will be owned by FSMC or another entity as designated by BSD. The land, improvements and machinery and equipment will be leased to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

 

The Company paid for and acquired the 33.6-acre site in June 2016 and transferred ownership of the land to FSMC pursuant to an amendment to the Agreement. The land, improvements, and machinery and equipment, to the extent such M&E is purchased with grant funds, will be owned by FSMC, or another entity as designated by BSD, and will be leased to the Company in accordance with the Agreement.

Provided FSMC performs its obligations under the Agreement and following Manufacturing Facility Completion, the Company commits to invest and spend $1.52 billion in the Manufacturing Operation and an additional $1.5 billion over a subsequent ten (10) year period in the event the ten year term is renewed.

 

Results - Under the Agreement, the Company will employ 450 permanent employees at the Project Location by the fifth year of Manufacturing Facility operation following Manufacturing . Facility Completion as those terms are defined, and as is further specified, in the Agreement. Of the 450 new permanent jobs, at least 300 jobs will be created over the first 2.5 years of the Manufacturing Facility operation following the Manufacturing Facility Completion.

 

In addition to the state-of-the-art production facility, the Company is also creating a new North American Headquarters on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, further establishing the Western New York region as an important area for the Company and for the biopharmaceutical industry.

Upon completion of the project, the Grantee will furnish a final report describing the impact and effectiveness of the project.

ESD's Design & Construction ("D&C") staff will make periodic site visits, attend monthly requisition meetings, and review payment requisitions and recommend payment when its requirements have been met per the Grant Disbursement Agreement. Prior expenditures must be fully documented per D8iC requirements.

Environmental Review:

ESD, as lead agency, has completed an environmental review of the proposed project, pursuant to the requirements of the State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and the implementing regulations of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Monthly Project Status Cost Control Report Instructions

 

ESDC requires that a Monthly Cost Control Report be submitted on all projects funded during construction.  This also includes projects in the planning stage which will be funded during construction.

 

The Cost Report is a management tool for tracking latest costs for all line items against the Budget.  On a monthly basis, it keeps the Developer and ESDC informed, and highlights construction cost status, potential problems and variances.

 

The attached sample Monthly Project Status Cost Control Report illustrates how costs should be listed and separated by line item, for soft costs/other items and construction.

 

Several items in the form should be highlighted:

Column 1 ‑       Budget ‑‑ This is the budget approved by the Developer and ESDC.  Once approved, this column should not be changed.

Contingency

The Construction Contingency shown in "Budget" (Column 1) should not be changed.  As the contingency is used up and allocated to various line items, the balance should be shown in the line item for Construction Contingency, under "Total Estimated Cost" (Column 9).

 

Column 2 ‑    "Original Contract/Commitments" ‑‑ List approved contracts; also, firm commitments not yet under contract should be listed, and marked with an asterisk.

 

Column 3 ‑    "Cumulative Approved Change Orders/Amendments" ‑‑ List only items approved by ESDC.

 

Column 4 ‑    "Revised Contract/Commitments" ‑‑ Self explanatory.

 

Column 5 ‑    "Invoiced Prior Months Thru" ‑‑ Self explanatory.

EXHIBIT G: PARTICIPATION BY MINORITY GROUP MEMBERS AND WOMEN WITH RESPECT TO STATE CONTRACTS: REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

 

 

 

I.

General Provisions

 

A.

Empire State Development (ESD) is required to implement the provisions of New York State Executive Law Article 15-A and 5 NYCRR Parts 142-144 (“MWBE Regulations”) for all State contracts as defined therein, with a value (1) in excess of $25,000 for labor, services, equipment, materials, or any combination of the foregoing or (2) in excess of $100,000 for real property renovations and construction.  

 

B.

The Recipient of the subject Grant Disbursement Agreement (the “Recipient” and the “Contract,” respectively) agrees, in addition to any other nondiscrimination provision of the Contract and at no additional cost to ESD, to fully comply and cooperate with the ESD in the implementation of New York State Executive Law Article 15-A.  These requirements include equal employment opportunities for minority group members and women (“EEO”) and contracting opportunities for certified minority and women-owned business enterprises (“MWBEs”).  Recipient’s demonstration of “good faith efforts” pursuant to 5 NYCRR §142.8 shall be a part of these requirements. These provisions shall be deemed supplementary to, and not in lieu of, the nondiscrimination provisions required by New York State Executive Law Article 15 (the “Human Rights Law”) or other applicable federal, state or local laws.

 

C.

Failure to comply with all of the requirements herein may result in a finding of non-responsiveness, non-responsibility and/or a breach of contract, leading to the withholding of funds or such other actions, liquidated damages pursuant to Section VII of this Appendix or enforcement proceedings as allowed by the Contract.

II.

Contract Goals

 

A.

For purposes of this Contract, the ESD hereby establishes an overall goal of 30% for Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (“MWBE”) participation (based on the current availability of qualified MBEs and WBEs).

For purposes of this grant, ESD conducted a comprehensive search and determined that the Contract does not offer sufficient opportunities to set specific goals for participation by Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (“SDVOBs”) as subcontractors, service providers, and suppliers to Contractor.  Nevertheless, Bidder/Contractor is encouraged to make good faith efforts to promote and assist in the participation of SDVOBs on the Contract for the provision of services and materials.  The directory of New York State Certified SDVOBs can be viewed at:  http://ogs.ny.gov/Core/SDVOBA.asp

 

B.

For purposes of providing meaningful participation by MWBEs on the Contract and achieving the Contract Goals established in Section II-A hereof, Recipient should reference the directory of New York State Certified MWBEs found at the following internet address: http://www.esd.ny.gov/mwbe.html

 


EXHIBIT G: PARTICIPATION BY MINORITY GROUP MEMBERS AND WOMEN WITH RESPECT TO STATE CONTRACTS: REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

 

 

 

Additionally, Recipient is encouraged to contact the Division of Minority and Woman Business Development ((518) 292-5250; (212) 803-2414; or (716) 846-8200) to discuss additional methods of maximizing participation by MWBEs on the Contract.

 

C.

Where MWBE goals have been established herein, pursuant to 5 NYCRR §142.8, Recipient must document “good faith efforts” to provide meaningful participation by MWBEs as subcontractors or suppliers in the performance of the Contract.  In accordance with Section 316-a of Article 15-A and 5 NYCRR §142.13, the Recipient acknowledges that if Recipient is found to have willfully and intentionally failed to comply with the MWBE participation goals set forth in the Contract, such a finding constitutes a breach of contract and the Recipient shall be liable to the ESD for liquidated or other appropriate damages, as set forth herein.

III.

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)

 

A.

Recipient agrees to be bound by the provisions of Article 15-A and the MWBE Regulations promulgated by the Division of Minority and Women's Business Development of the Department of Economic Development (the “Division”).  If any of these terms or provisions conflict with applicable law or regulations, such laws and regulations shall supersede these requirements.  

 

B.

Recipient shall comply with the following provisions of Article 15-A:

 

1.

Recipient and subcontractors shall undertake or continue existing EEO programs to ensure that minority group members and women are afforded equal employment opportunities without discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or marital status.  For these purposes, EEO shall apply in the areas of recruitment, employment, job assignment, promotion, upgrading, demotion, transfer, layoff, or termination and rates of pay or other forms of compensation.

 

2.

The Recipient shall submit an EEO policy statement to the ESD with the executed Contract.

 

3.

If Recipient or subcontractor does not have an existing EEO policy statement, the ESD may provide the Recipient or subcontractor a model statement (see EXHIBIT G-1: M/WBE Participation/Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement).

 

4.

The Recipient’s EEO policy statement shall include the following language:

 

a.

The Recipient will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or marital status, will undertake or continue existing EEO programs to ensure that minority group members and women are afforded equal employment opportunities without discrimination, and shall make and document its conscientious and active efforts to employ and utilize minority group members and women in its work force.

 


EXHIBIT G: PARTICIPATION BY MINORITY GROUP MEMBERS AND WOMEN WITH RESPECT TO STATE CONTRACTS: REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

 

 

 

 

b.

The Recipient shall state in all solicitations or advertisements for employees that, in the performance of the Contract, all qualified applicants will be afforded equal employment opportunities without discrimination because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or marital status.

 

c.

The Recipient shall request each employment agency, labor union, or authorized representative of workers with which it has a collective bargaining or other agreement or understanding, to furnish a written statement that such employment agency, labor union, or representative will not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex age, disability or marital status and that such union or representative will affirmatively cooperate in the implementation of the Recipient's obligations herein.

 

d.

The Recipient will include the provisions of Subdivisions (a) through (c) of this Subsection 4 and Paragraph “E” of this Section III, which provides for relevant provisions of the Human Rights Law, in every subcontract in such a manner that the requirements of the subdivisions will be binding upon each subcontractor as to work in connection with the Contract.  

 

C.

EXHIBIT G-3: Work Force Employment Utilization Report (“Workforce Report”)

 

1.

Once a contract has been awarded and during the term of Contract, Recipient is responsible for updating and providing notice to the ESD of any changes to the previously submitted Staffing Plan. This information is to be submitted on a quarterly basis during the term of the contract to report the actual workforce utilized in the performance of the contract by the specified categories listed including ethnic background, gender, and Federal occupational categories. The Workforce Report must be submitted to report this information.

 

2.

Separate forms shall be completed by Recipient and any subcontractor performing work on the Contract.

 


EXHIBIT G: PARTICIPATION BY MINORITY GROUP MEMBERS AND WOMEN WITH RESPECT TO STATE CONTRACTS: REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

 

 

 

 

3.

In limited instances, Recipient may not be able to separate out the workforce utilized in the performance of the Contract from Recipient's and/or sub's total workforce. When a separation can be made, Recipient shall submit the Workforce Report and indicate that the information provided related to the actual workforce utilized on the Contract. When the workforce to be utilized on the contract cannot be separated out from Recipient's and/or subcontractor's total workforce, Recipient shall submit the Workforce Report and indicate that the information provided is Recipient's total workforce during the subject time frame, not limited to work specifically under the contract.

 

E.

Recipient shall comply with the provisions of the Human Rights Law, all other State and Federal statutory and constitutional non-discrimination provisions.  Recipient and subcontractors shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, creed (religion), color, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, military status, age, disability, predisposing genetic characteristic, marital status or domestic violence victim status, and shall also follow the requirements of the Human Rights Law with regard to non-discrimination on the basis of prior criminal conviction and prior arrest.

IV.

A.

The Recipient represents and warrants that Recipient has submitted an MWBE Utilization Plan (EXHIBIT G-4) either prior to, or at the time of, the execution of the Contract.

 

B.

Recipient agrees to use such MWBE Utilization Plan for the performance of MWBEs on the Contract pursuant to the prescribed MWBE goals set forth in Section II-A of this Exhibit.

 

C.

Recipient further agrees that a failure to submit and/or use such MWBE Utilization Plan shall constitute a material breach of the terms of the Contract.  Upon the occurrence of such a material breach, ESD shall be entitled to any remedy provided herein, including but not limited to, a finding of Recipient non-responsiveness.  

V.

Waivers

 

A.

For Waiver Requests Recipient should use the Waiver Request Form (EXHIBIT G-5).

 

B.

If the Recipient, after making good faith efforts, is unable to comply with MWBE goals, the Recipient may submit a Request for Waiver form documenting good faith efforts by the Recipient to meet such goals.  If the documentation included with the waiver request is complete, the ESD shall evaluate the request and issue a written notice of acceptance or denial within twenty (20) days of receipt.

 


EXHIBIT G: PARTICIPATION BY MINORITY GROUP MEMBERS AND WOMEN WITH RESPECT TO STATE CONTRACTS: REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

 

 

 

 

C.

If the ESD, upon review of the MWBE Utilization Plan and updated Quarterly MWBE Contractor Compliance Reports determines that Recipient is failing or refusing to comply with the Contract goals and no waiver has been issued in regards to such non-compliance, the ESD may issue a notice of deficiency to the Recipient.  The Recipient must respond to the notice of deficiency within seven (7) business days of receipt.  Such response may include a request for partial or total waiver of MWBE Contract Goals.

VI.

Quarterly MWBE Contractor Compliance Report
