ARRAY BIOPHARMA INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements



NOTE 1 – OVERVIEW, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Array BioPharma Inc. (also referred to as "Array,","we", "us", "our" or "the Company"), incorporated in Delaware on February 6, 1998, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted small molecule cancer therapies.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting and, as permitted under those rules, do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The Company's management performed an evaluation of its activities through the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 11, 2017, from which the Company derived its balance sheet data as of June 30, 2017.

The Company operates in one reportable segment and, accordingly, no segment disclosures have been presented herein. All of the Company's equipment, leasehold improvements and other fixed assets are physically located within the U.S., and the vast majority of its agreements with its partners are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on the Company's historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are the basis for the Company's judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which in turn may impact its reported revenue and expenses. The Company's actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes its financial statements are most significantly impacted by the following accounting estimates and judgments: (i) identifying deliverables under collaboration and license agreements involving multiple elements and determining whether such deliverables are separable from other aspects of the contractual relationship; (ii) estimating the selling price of deliverables for the purpose of allocating arrangement consideration for revenue recognition; (iii) estimating the periods over which the allocated consideration for deliverables is recognized; (iv) estimating accrued outsourcing costs for clinical trials and preclinical testing; and (v) estimating fair value of the notes payable.

Liquidity

With the exception of the 2015 fiscal year, the Company has incurred operating losses and an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing research and development spending since inception. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $956.7 million. The Company had net losses of $38.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and of $116.8 million and $92.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and

7

Table of Contents

2016, respectively. The Company had net income of $9.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of an $80.0 million net gain related to the return of rights to binimetinib and the Company's acquisition of rights to encorafenib, as well as $16.3 million of realized gains from the sale of marketable securities.

The Company has historically funded its operations from upfront fees, proceeds from research and development reimbursement arrangements, and license and milestone payments received under its drug collaborations and license agreements, the sale of equity securities, and debt provided by convertible debt and other credit facilities. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2017 will enable it to continue to fund operations in the normal course of business for at least the 12-month period from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on form 10Q. Until the Company can generate sufficient levels of cash from operations, which it does not expect to achieve in the next two years, and because sufficient funds may not be available to it when needed from existing collaborations, the Company expects that it will be required to continue to fund its operations in part through the sale of debt or equity securities, and through licensing select programs or partial economic rights that include upfront, royalty and/or milestone payments.

On September 19, 2017, Array closed an underwritten public offering of approximately 24.1 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $10.75 per share, which included 3.1 million shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters in the offering. The total net proceeds from the offering were $243.0 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company also sells shares of its common stock to the public from time to time in an at-the-market offering under a Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has received net proceeds totaling $156.0 million since September 2013 under the Sales Agreement, and the Company may sell up to $39.0 million in additional shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald. The Company's ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through the sale of debt or equity securities or from debt financing from lenders when needed is subject to many risks and uncertainties and, even if it were successful, future equity issuances would result in dilution to its existing stockholders. The Company also may not successfully consummate new collaboration and license agreements that provide for upfront fees or milestone payments, or the Company may not earn milestone payments under such agreements when anticipated, or at all. The Company's ability to realize milestone or royalty payments under existing agreements and to enter into new arrangements that generate additional revenue through upfront fees and milestone or royalty payments is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond the Company's control.

The Company's assessment of its future need for funding and its ability to continue to fund its operations is a forward-looking statement that is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

If the Company is unable to generate enough revenue from its existing or new collaboration and license agreements when needed or to secure additional sources of funding and receive related full and timely collections of amounts due, it may be necessary to significantly reduce the current rate of spending through reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back, or stopping certain research and development programs, including more costly late phase clinical trials on its wholly-owned programs. Insufficient liquidity may also require the Company to relinquish greater rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms to the Company and its stockholders than the Company would otherwise choose in order to obtain upfront license fees needed to fund operations. These events could prevent the Company from successfully executing its operating plan and, in the future, could raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Further, as discussed in Note 4 – Debt - Silicon Valley Bank Term Loan, the Company is required to maintain during the term of the loan agreement a balance of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at Silicon Valley Bank plus eligible accounts of at least two times the entire outstanding debt balance with Silicon Valley Bank, which is currently $15.0 million.

Pierre Fabre Medicament SAS ("Pierre Fabre") accounted for 21% and 7% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. Loxo Oncology, Inc. ("Loxo") accounted for 9% and 6% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as previously disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize revenue from the transfer of promised goods or services to customers based on the amount of the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The

9

Table of Contents

purpose of ASU No. 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance relating to principal versus agent considerations. For public entities, the amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on its financial statements and related disclosures. The FASB subsequently issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to address issues arising from implementation of the new revenue recognition standard. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-10 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning July 1, 2018, and may be adopted earlier, but not before July 1, 2017. The revenue standards are required to be adopted by taking either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company has not elected early adoption and has not concluded on an adoption method. The Company is continuing to assess the impact of the new guidance on its accounting policies and procedures and is evaluating the new requirements as applied to existing revenue contracts. While this assessment is still in progress, the Company believes the most significant impact will relate to the timing of collaboration revenues, where the recognition of variable consideration such as milestone payments may be accelerated. In conjunction with its continuing assessment of the impact of the new guidance, the Company is also evaluating its method of adoption and reviewing and updating its internal controls over financial reporting to ensure that information required to implement the new standard is appropriately captured and recorded. We will implement any changes as required to facilitate adoption of the new guidance beginning in the fiscal first fiscal quarter of 2019. In addition, we continue to monitor additional changes, modifications, clarifications or interpretations undertaken by the FASB or others, which may impact our current conclusions.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-01 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and also requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption will be available on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This amendment will provide guidance on the presentation and classification of specific cash flow items to improve consistency within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-15 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash. The new guidance requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, companies will be required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. Companies will also need to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate ASU 2016-18 will have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company does not anticipate ASU 2017-01 will have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. It is effective prospectively for the annual period ending June 30, 2019 and interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2017-09 will have a significant impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-11 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Milestone Payments

The Development and Commercialization Agreement with Pierre Fabre contains substantive potential milestone payments of up to $35.0 million for achievement of three regulatory milestones relating to European Commission marketing approvals for three specified indications and of up to $390.0 million for achievement of seven commercialization milestones if certain net sales amounts are achieved for any licensed indications.
 
The License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Ono") contains substantive potential milestone payments of up to ¥1.8 billion ($16.0 million) for achievement of four development milestones, ¥5 billion ($44.5 million) for the achievement of eight regulatory milestones and ¥10.5 billion ($93.5 million) for the achievement of five commercialization milestones if certain annual net sales targets are achieved. As of September 30, 2017, ¥1.0 billion was the equivalent of approximately $8.9 million (based on the exchange rate published by Oanda).

The Drug Discovery Collaboration Option Agreement with Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. ("Mirati") contains substantive potential milestone payments of up to $18.5 million for eight remaining developmental milestones and up to $674.0 million  for the achievement of fourteen commercialization milestones if certain net sales amounts are achieved in the United States, the European Union and Japan.
 
The Drug Discovery Collaboration Agreement with Loxo Oncology contains substantive potential milestone payments for certain nominated programs of up to $14.0 million for four remaining developmental milestones and up to $625.0 million for the achievement of twenty-two commercialization milestones if certain net sales amounts are achieved for any licensed drug candidates in the United States, the European Union and Japan.

The Collaboration and License Agreement with Asahi Kasei Pharma Corporation ("Asahi Kasei") contains milestone payments of up to $11.0 million related to the achievement of four regulatory milestones for up to five drug candidates and up to $52.5 million for a milestone payment at the time of the first commercial sale and the achievement of three commercialization milestones if certain net sales amounts are achieved for any licensed drug candidates.

The Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Amgen contains substantive potential milestone payments of up to $3.0 million for preclinical development services over a two-year period unless Amgen terminates the Agreement with 60 days' written notice to Array in advance of the contracted payment dates. The Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Amgen contains substantive potential milestone payments of up to $14.0 million for two development milestones and up to $140.0 million for the achievement of four commercialization milestones if certain net sales amounts are achieved for any licensed drug candidates.

On July 28, 2017, AstraZeneca and Merck announced an agreement to share the development and commercialization costs for selumetinib monotherapy and non-PD-L1/PD-1 combination therapy opportunities. Based on this agreement, Array remains eligible to receive from AstraZeneca milestones and royalties on all future selumetinib sales, and now expects to receive a portion of certain consideration paid by Merck to AstraZeneca.  Array has informed AstraZeneca that it is disputing the small consideration that AstraZeneca intends to pay Array related to both upfront and potential future milestones under AstraZeneca's agreement with Merck.  Furthermore, prior to the announcement of the AstraZeneca / Merck agreement, Array informed AstraZeneca of its position that the Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) development program is outside the permitted field of its license.

Redmile Notes Payable

On September 2, 2016, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Redmile Capital Offshore Fund II, Ltd. and Redmile Biopharma Investments I, L.P. (collectively, “Redmile”) pursuant to which the Company issued to Redmile Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate original principal amount of $10.0 million. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum and, unless converted or otherwise repaid or satisfied as described below, the principal amount and all accrued interest thereon plus an aggregate exit fee (the “Repayment Amount”) is due and payable on maturity.

On August 7, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the Notes issued to Redmile pursuant to which the maturity date of the Notes was extended to August 6, 2018 and the exit fee of the Notes was increased from $3.0 million to an amount equal to 50%, or $5.0 million, of the principal amount under the Notes. If an event of default specified under the Notes occurs, the Note holders may declare the Repayment Amount, and any other amounts payable under the Notes, immediately due and payable. The Company evaluated its debt amendments under ASC 470 and determined that the amendments do not qualify as a troubled debt restructuring or an extinguishment and therefore the effects of the amendments are reflected as a change in fair value.

Conversion of the Notes
 
The Notes contemplate that, solely at the Company’s choice, the Company may elect to form a subsidiary (the “797 Subsidiary”) and contribute certain assets and rights relating to its drug ARRY-797 in exchange for all of the outstanding equity of such 797 Subsidiary. In such event, and if a preferred stock financing of the 797 Subsidiary of at least $10.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds (excluding conversion of the Note) to bona fide institutional investors other than the Note holders (a “Qualified Financing”) closes prior to the Maturity Date, then all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Notes shall convert automatically into the shares of capital stock issued in the Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (A) 80% of the purchase price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing if the closing of the Qualified Financing occurs on or prior to March 1, 2017, or 70% of the purchase price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing if the closing of the Qualified Financing occurs after March 1, 2017, and (B) the price per share calculated in the same manner as the price per share of equity securities sold in the Qualified Financing, but instead based on a pre-money valuation of the 797 Subsidiary of $75.0 million.

If the Company has not formed the 797 Subsidiary by the Maturity Date or, if a 797 Subsidiary was formed and a Qualified Financing has not closed on or prior to the Maturity Date, then the Company shall have the right to convert, on the Maturity Date, the Repayment Amount into shares of a newly established series of the Company's preferred stock, to be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at a conversion price equal to the average daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The shares issued upon any such conversion shall be subject to an aggregate cap equal to 19.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, on an as-converted basis, on the Maturity Date.

Table of Contents

Other Repayment Provisions
 
If, solely at the Company’s choice, prior to the closing of a Qualified Financing or other conversion or repayment or other satisfaction in full of the Notes, the Company sells or transfers substantially all of the assets and rights relating to ARRY-797 to a third party other than the holders of the Notes or any of its affiliates (a “797 Sale”), then upon the closing of such 797 Sale and in full satisfaction of the Notes, the Company is required to pay to the Note holders an amount equal to the greater in the aggregate of (i) $20.0 million or (ii) 15% of the fair market value of the consideration actually paid to the Company or the 797 Subsidiary (or any of their respective affiliates or stockholders) in the 797 Sale, subject to an aggregate $100.0 million cap.

If, solely at the Company’s choice, the Company enters into an agreement with a third party other than the holders of the Notes or any of their affiliates to license ARRY 797 on an exclusive basis for the development and commercialization of ARRY-797 in all fields of use in the United States and any other territories (a “Qualified 797 License”) prior to the closing of a Qualified Financing or other conversion or repayment or other satisfaction in full of the Notes, then upon entering into such Qualified 797 License and in full satisfaction of the Notes, the Company is required to pay to the Note holders an amount in the aggregate equal to 50% of the first $50.0 million in aggregate milestone or royalty payments plus 20% of any subsequent milestone or royalty payments, in each case actually paid to the Company or the 797 Subsidiary (or any of their respective affiliates), as the case may be, pursuant to such Qualified 797 License, subject to an aggregate cap of $100.0 million. In addition, if solely at its choice the Company enters into an exclusive license for the development and commercialization of ARRY-797 to a third party in one or more territories that do not include the United States, the Note holders have the right to elect to treat such license agreement as a “Qualified 797 License” by giving Array written notice of such election with five business days of the effective date of the license agreement.
 
If all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold or other change in control of the Company specified in the Notes occurs prior to the closing of a Qualified Financing or other conversion or repayment or other satisfaction in full of the Notes, then upon the closing of such transaction and in full satisfaction of the Notes, at the third party acquirer’s option, the Company is required to either: (i) pay to the Note holders a cash amount in the aggregate equal to $40.0 million; or (ii) (A) pay to the Note holders a cash amount in the aggregate equal to $25.0 million; and (B) grant, or cause to be granted, a right of first refusal to the Note holders to acquire the 797 Subsidiary or the 797 Assets, as the case may be.
 
Registration Rights
 
If the Company elects to convert the Notes into shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as described above, the Company has agreed in the Note Purchase Agreement to register such shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on a registration statement on Form S-3. In such event, the Company must file the registration statement on the Maturity Date and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective as promptly as possible after such filing, but no later than 75 days after the Maturity Date. The Company may suspend the availability of the registration statement for up to 90 days for no more than 45 days in any 12-month period for any bona fide reason. If the Company defaults on certain of its obligations relating to the registration of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company must pay an amount in the aggregate equal to 5% of the purchase price of the Notes to which the affected registered shares relate. The Company has agreed to pay all costs and expenses associated with the registration of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and, with certain exceptions, to indemnify the holders of shares registered on any such registration against liabilities relating to any such registration.

Accounting for the Notes

Due to the complexity and number of embedded features within the Notes and as permitted under accounting guidance, the Company elected to account for the Notes and all the embedded features under the fair value option.  The Company recognizes the Notes at fair value rather than at historical cost, with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of operations. Direct costs and fees incurred to issue the Notes were recognized in earnings as incurred and were not deferred. On the initial measurement date of September 2, 2016, the fair value of the Notes was estimated at $10.0 million. On August 7, 2017 when the Note was amended, the fair value of the Notes was estimated at $12.0 million. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option was elected was $0.1 million and was recorded as a component of other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the Notes was $12.4 million. For more information on the fair value determination of the Notes, see Note 5 - Redmile Notes.
 
Silicon Valley Bank Term Loan

On December 22, 2016 the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) providing for a term loan in the original principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Term Loan Amount”) and a revolving line of credit of up to $5.0 million (“Revolving Line”). The Company may request advances under the revolving line of credit, which may be repaid and reborrowed, or utilize the line of credit for the issuance of letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts or other cash management services. The Company utilized $14.6 million of the proceeds from the term loan to repay in full its outstanding obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement dated June 28, 2005, as amended, with Comerica Bank. The entire Term Loan Amount was loaned on the Effective Date, and the Company has obtained a letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $2.9 million to secure the Company's obligations under its lease agreement for its Boulder, Colorado and Cambridge, Massachusetts facilities. The cost of the term loan approximates its fair value.
The outstanding principal amount under the term loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate minus 2.0% (but not less than 0.0%) and the principal amount of any advances outstanding under the revolving line bear interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate. The interest rate was 2.25% as of September 30, 2017. The Company must make monthly payments of interest under the term loan commencing January 1, 2017 until maturity and, commencing on January 1, 2019 and monthly thereafter, the Company must also make payments of principal under the term loan based on a 36-month amortization schedule. Payments of accrued interest on any advances outstanding under the revolving line of credit are payable monthly. A final payment of accrued interest and principal due on the term loan and on any outstanding advances is due on the maturity date of December 1, 2021.
The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line commitment fee of $50 thousand, payable in five equal installments from the Effective Date and an unusued revolving line facility fee equal to 0.2% per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line. Upon repayment or acceleration of the term loan, a final payment fee equal to 8.0% of the Term Loan Amount is payable. The final payment fee of $1.2 million is being recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the loan and is being reflected as debt discount. If the term loan is prepaid or accelerated prior to the maturity date, the Company must also pay a fee equal to (i) 2.0% of the Term Loan Amount if such prepayment or acceleration occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) 1.0% of the Term Loan Amount if such prepayment or acceleration occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Date. If the revolving line is terminated prior to the maturity date for any reason, the Company must pay a termination fee equal to (i) 2.0% of the Revolving Line if such termination occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) 1.0% of the Revolving Line if such termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Date.
The Company granted SVB a first priority security interest in all assets other than its intellectual property, provided that accounts and proceeds of the Company’s intellectual property constitutes collateral and the Company has agreed not to encumber its intellectual property without SVB’s consent. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including restrictions on changes in control of the Company, the incurrance of additional indebtedness, future encumbrances on Array’s assets, the payment of dividends or distributions on the Company’s common stock and the sale, lease, transfer or disposition of Binimetinib and Encorafenib outside of certain markets if the Company’s cash and cash equivalents maintained with SVB fall below certain levels. In addition, the Company must maintain a liquidity ratio, defined as (i) the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents maintained at SVB or its affiliates plus eligible accounts divided by (ii) all outstanding obligations owed to SVB, of at least 2.0 to 1.0, measured monthly.
Upon an event of default under the Loan Agreement, SVB is entitled to accelerate and demand payment of all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, including payment of all applicable termination and prepayment fees, demand that the Company deposit at least 105% of the face amount of any letters of credit remaining undrawn

to secure all obligations thereunder, and exercise other remedies available to SVB under the Loan Agreement and at law or in equity.
3.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020
 
On June 10, 2013, through a registered underwritten public offering, the Company issued and sold $132.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the "Convertible Notes"), resulting in net proceeds to Array of approximately $128.0 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses.

The Convertible Notes are the general senior unsecured obligations of Array. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.00% per year, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year with all principal due at maturity. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2020, unless earlier converted by the holders or redeemed by the Company.

Prior to March 1, 2020, holders may convert the Convertible Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events described in a supplemental indenture the Company entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, upon issuance of the Notes. On or after March 1, 2020, until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately prior to the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes at any time. Upon conversion, the holders will receive, at the Company's option, shares of the Company's common stock, cash or a combination of shares and cash. The Convertible Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 141.8641 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $7.05 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described in the supplemental indenture. Holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if there is a qualifying change in control or termination of trading of the Company's common stock.
  
On or after June 4, 2017, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the outstanding Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of its common stock exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending within seven trading days immediately prior to the date the Company provides the notice of redemption to holders. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. If the Company were to provide a notice of redemption, the holders could convert their Convertible Notes up until the business day immediately preceding the redemption date.

In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company used an effective interest rate of 10.25% to determine the liability component of the Convertible Notes. This resulted in the recognition of $84.2 million as the liability component of the Convertible Notes and the recognition of the residual $48.0 million as the debt discount with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital for the equity component of the Convertible Notes. The underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses of $4.3 million were allocated between the debt and equity issuance costs in proportion to the allocation of the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes. Equity issuance costs of $1.6 million were recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. Total debt issuance costs of $2.7 million were recorded on the issuance date, and are reflected in the Company's balance sheets for all periods presented on a consistent basis with the debt discount, or as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The debt discount and debt issuance costs will be amortized as non-cash interest expense through June 1, 2020. The balance of unamortized debt issuance costs was $1.3 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $240.9 million and $180.1 million at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, and was determined using Level 2 inputs based on their quoted market values.

Redmile Notes

To measure the fair value of the principal amount on the Notes issued to Redmile, the Company was required to determine the fair value of the principal amount on the Notes and the conversion feature of the Notes. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the method of payment of the principal amount by potential outcome and scenario, and applied the income approach to determine the fair value of the Notes, discounting the principal amount due under the Notes by market interest rates under potential scenarios. The Monte Carlo simulation utilized the following assumptions: (i) expected term; (ii) common stock price; (iii) risk-free interest rate; and (iv) expected volatility. The assumptions the Company used in the simulation were based on factors the Company believed that participants would use in pricing the liability components, including market interest rates, credit standing, yield curves, volatilities, and risk-free rates, all of which are defined as Level 3 observable inputs.

To measure the fair value of the conversion feature of the Notes issued to Redmile, the Company performed an analysis to estimate the pre-money value of the 797 Subsidiary. The Company then applied the pre-money value of the 797 Subsidiary to the conversion scenarios under the Notes to determine the fair value of the conversion feature.

The Company incorporated the estimated volatilities and the risk-free rates on the principal amount of the Notes into the Monte Carlo simulation under each potential scenario and weighted volatility and rates based on the probability of each scenario occurring. Subsequently, the estimated implied interest rates were applied to the principal amount of these Notes under potential scenarios and were weighted based on the probability of each scenario occurring. 

The fair value of the Notes was impacted by certain unobservable inputs, most significantly management's assumptions regarding the discount rates used, the probabilities of certain scenarios occurring, expected volatility, share price performance, and expected scenario timing. Significant changes to these inputs in isolation or in the aggregate could result in a significantly different fair value measurement.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Offering

On September 19, 2017, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 24.1 million shares of its common stock, which included 3.1 million shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters in the offering. The shares were sold to the public at an offering price of $10.75 per share. The total net proceeds from the offering were $243.0 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses of approximately $15.7 million.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund research and development efforts, including clinical trials for its proprietary candidates, build and scale its commercial capabilities, and for general working capital and corporate purposes.

At-the-Market Equity Offering

The Company has entered into a Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor") dated March 27, 2013, which has been subsequently amended to permit the sale by Cantor, acting as its sales agent, of up to $75.0 million in additional shares of the Company's common stock from time to time in an at-the-market offering under the Sales Agreement. All sales of shares have been and will continue to be made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC. The Company pays Cantor a commission of approximately 2% of the aggregate gross proceeds the Company receives from all sales of the Company's common stock under the Sales Agreement. The amended Sales Agreement continues indefinitely until either party terminates the Sales Agreement, which may be done on 10 days prior written notice. The Company received net proceeds on sales under the Sales Agreement of approximately $2.8 million at a weighted average price of $9.02 during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 7 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based compensation expense for all equity awards issued pursuant to the Array BioPharma Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Option and Incentive Plan") and for estimated shares to be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") for the current purchase period was approximately $5.6 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, including a $2.5 million charge in 2017 for accelerated vesting of stock options and RSUs to a departing executive.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its share-based awards. In applying this model, the Company uses the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate - The Company determines the risk-free interest rate by using a weighted average assumption equivalent to the expected term based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rate.
Expected term - The Company estimates the expected term of its options based upon historical exercises and post-vesting termination behavior.
Expected volatility - The Company estimates expected volatility using daily historical trading data of its common stock.
Dividend yield - The Company has never paid dividends and currently have no plans to do so; therefore, no dividend yield is applied.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table is calculated as the difference between the closing price of the Company's common stock at September 30, 2017, of $12.30 per share and the exercise price of the stock options that had strike prices below the closing price. The total intrinsic value of all options exercised was $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The total intrinsic value of all options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $295 thousand.

As of September 30, 2017, there was approximately $20.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested stock options shown in the table above, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

The Option and Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of RSUs that each represent the right to receive one share of Array common stock, cash or a combination of cash and stock, typically following achievement of time- or performance-based vesting conditions. The Company's RSU grants that vest subject to continued service over a defined period of time, will typically vest between two to four years, with a percentage vesting on each anniversary date of the grant, or they may be vested in full on the date of grant. Vested RSUs will be settled in shares of common stock upon the vesting date, upon a predetermined delivery date, upon a change in control of Array, or upon the employee leaving Array. All outstanding RSUs may only be settled through the issuance of common stock to recipients, and the Company intends to continue to grant RSUs that may only be settled in stock. RSUs are assigned the value of Array common stock at date of grant, and the grant date fair value is amortized over the applicable vesting period.

As of September 30, 2017, there was $3.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs granted under the Option and Incentive Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years. The fair market value on the grant date for RSUs that vested during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $886 thousand and $375 thousand, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The ESPP allows qualified employees (as defined in the ESPP) to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of (i) the closing price at the beginning of the offering period or (ii) the closing price at the end of the offering period. Effective each January 1, a new 12-month offering period begins that will end on December 31 of that year. However, if the closing stock price on July 1 is lower than the closing stock price on the preceding January 1, then the original 12-month offering period terminates, and the purchase rights under the original offering period roll forward into a new six-month offering period that begins July 1 and ends on December 31. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had 1.1 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As describe above in Note 3 – Collaboration and Other Agreements, the Company is party to a Drug Discovery Collaboration Option Agreement with Mirati pursuant to which the Company is providing certain drug discovery and research activities to Mirati in which the Company has received up-front payments, license fees and reimbursement for research and development services and under which the Company is entitled to receive milestone payments based on achievement of certain milestones, as described in Note 3 - Collaboration and Other Agreements. Dr. Charles Baum, a current member of Array’s Board of Directors, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirati.

As described above in Note 4 - Debt - Notes Payable, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Redmile and issued Notes to Redmile on September 2, 2016. At that time, affiliates of Redmile held more than 10% of the Company's common stock.

NOTE 9 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted loss per common share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes the determinants of basic net income per share and, in addition, gives effect to the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, vested or converted into common stock, unless they are anti-dilutive. Diluted weighted average common shares include common stock potentially issuable under our convertible notes, notes payable at fair value, vested and unvested stock options and unvested RSUs, except where the effect of including them is anti-dilutive.

Binimetinib and Encorafenib

In March 2015, Array regained development and commercialization rights to binimetinib, a MEK inhibitor, under the Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement with Novartis Pharma AG and Novartis Pharmaceutical Ltd. and to encorafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, under the Asset Transfer Agreement with Novartis Pharma AG (collectively, the “Novartis Agreements”). Along with global ownership of both assets, Array received an upfront payment of $85.0 million from Novartis. We believe these programs present significant opportunity to Array in the area of oncology.

We have also entered into agreements with Pierre Fabre Medicament SAS, (“Pierre Fabre” or "PFM") and Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Ono") related to the binimetinib and encorafenib programs. The Development and Commercialization Agreement, which became effective in December 2015 (the "PF Agreement"), granted Pierre Fabre rights to commercialize binimetinib and encorafenib in all countries except for the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea and Israel, including Europe (referred to as the "PF Territory"). The License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Ono, which became effective in May 2017 (the "Ono Agreement"), granted Ono exclusive rights to commercialize binimetinib and encorafenib in Japan and the Republic of Korea (referred to as the "Ono Territory"), along with the right to develop these products in the Ono Territory. Array retains all rights outside the Ono Territory and the PF Territory.

All clinical trials involving binimetinib and encorafenib that were active or planned when the Novartis Agreements became effective in March 2015, including the NEMO and COLUMBUS trials and other then active Novartis sponsored

Table of Contents

and investigator sponsored clinical studies, continue to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Novartis Agreements. Further worldwide development activities of binimetinib and encorafenib are governed by a Global Development Plan ("GDP") with Pierre Fabre. Pierre Fabre and Array will jointly fund worldwide development costs under the GDP, with Array covering 60% and Pierre Fabre covering 40% of such costs. The initial GDP includes multiple trials, including the BEACON CRC trial, and Pierre Fabre and Array have agreed to commit at least €100 million in combined funds for these studies in colorectal cancer ("CRC") and melanoma.

Pierre Fabre is responsible for seeking regulatory and pricing and reimbursement approvals in the European Economic Area and its other licensed territories. We have also agreed to enter into a clinical and commercial supply agreement with Pierre Fabre pursuant to which we will supply or procure the supply of clinical and commercial supplies of drug substance and drug product for Pierre Fabre, the costs of which will be borne by Pierre Fabre. We have also agreed to cooperate with Pierre Fabre to ensure the supply of companion diagnostics for use with binimetinib and encorafenib in indications where needed.

Under the Ono Agreement, we received an upfront cash payment of ¥3.5 billion, or $31.2 million, and we retain all rights to conduct, either ourself or through third parties, all clinical studies and file related regulatory filings with respect to binimetinib and encorafenib and to develop, manufacture and commercialize binimetinib and encorafenib outside the Ono Territory (subject to rights Array has granted to Pierre Fabre in certain countries). We are also entitled to receive up to ¥1.8 billion in milestone payments from Ono if certain development goals are achieved, ¥5.0 billion in milestone payments from Ono if certain regulatory milestones are achieved, and ¥10.5 billion in milestone payments from Ono if certain sales milestones are achieved. A portion of these milestones represent Ono’s co-funding obligation as part of Ono’s participation in the Phase 3 BEACON CRC trial. Array is further eligible for tiered double-digit royalties on annual net sales of binimetinib and encorafenib in the Ono Territory, starting at 22% for annual net sales under ¥10.0 billion and increasing to 25% for annual net sales in excess of ¥10.0 billion, subject to certain adjustments. Based on exchange rates as of September 30, 2017, ¥1.0 billion was the equivalent of approximately $8.9 million

Under the Ono agreement, Ono has the right to participate in any future global development of binimetinib and encorafenib by contributing 12% of those future costs. Ono is responsible for any development of binimetinib and encorafenib specifically necessary to obtain regulatory and marketing approvals for products in the Ono Territory and for seeking those approvals. Array will furnish clinical supplies of drug substance to Ono for use in Ono’s development efforts, and Ono may elect to have Array provide commercial supplies of drug product to Ono pursuant to a commercial supply agreement to be entered into by Array and Ono, in each case the costs of which will be borne by Ono. Array has also agreed to discuss and agree on a strategy with Ono to ensure the supply to Ono of companion diagnostics for use with binimetinib and encorafenib in certain indications in the Ono Territory. Each party has also agreed not to distribute, sell or promote competing MEK or RAF products in the Ono Territory during the term of the Ono Agreement.

Binimetinib and encorafenib are currently being studied in Phase 3 trials in advanced cancer patients, including the COLUMBUS trial studying encorafenib in combination with binimetinib in patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma and the recently initiated BEACON CRC trial (Binimetinib, Encorafenib And Cetuximab Combined to treat BRAF-mutant CRC) to study encorafenib in combination with binimetinib and cetuximab in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant CRC ("BRAFm CRC"). Binimetinib and encorafenib are investigational medicines and are not currently approved in any country.

Novartis continues to substantially fund all ongoing trials with binimetinib and encorafenib that were active or planned as of the close of the Novartis Agreements in 2015, including the COLUMBUS Phase 3 trial. Reimbursement revenue from Novartis was approximately $94.1 million for the 12 months ended September 30, 2017, of which $18.2 million was recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Total revenue and upfront collected from Novartis since the start of the 2015 agreement is $326.3 million.

COLUMBUS PHASE 3 TRIAL
In September 2017, the FDA accepted for review the two NDAs we submitted to support use of the combination of binimetinib 45 mg twice daily and encorafenib 450 mg once daily (COMBO450) for the treatment of patients with BRAF-mutant advanced, unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The FDA set a target action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) of June 30, 2018 for both applications. In addition, the FDA informed us that, based on its preliminary review of the applications, it has not identified any potential review issues, and that it is not currently planning to hold an advisory committee meeting to discuss these NDAs. We completed our NDA submissions based on findings from the pivotal Phase 3 COLUMBUS trial.

Metastatic melanoma is the most serious and life-threatening type of skin cancer and is associated with low survival rates. There are about 200,000 new cases of melanoma diagnosed worldwide each year, approximately half of which have BRAF mutations, a key target in the treatment of metastatic melanoma.

Binimetinib and encorafenib are investigational medicines and are not currently approved in any country.

BEACON CRC PHASE 3 TRIAL
We continue to enroll BEACON CRC, a global Phase 3 trial of encorafenib and Erbitux® (cetuximab), an anti-EGFR antibody, with or without binimetinib, versus standard of care in patients with BRAF-mutant CRC who have previously received first- or second-line systemic therapy. BRAF-mutant CRC represents a difficult-to-treat subtype of colorectal cancer that impacts 10 to 15% of CRC patients.

At the 2017 ESMO Congress held during the quarter, safety results and initial clinical activity were presented from the safety lead-in of the Phase 3 BEACON CRC study evaluating the triplet combination of binimetinib, encorafenib and Erbitux® (BINI 45 mg twice daily, ENCO 300 mg daily and CETUX per label). As of the data cutoff date of August 9, 2017, 30 patients were treated in the safety lead-in and received the triplet combination. Out of the 30 patients, 29 had a BRAFV600E mutation. Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) was detected in only one patient. The triplet demonstrated good tolerability, supporting initiation of the randomized portion of the study. In addition, promising initial clinical activity was observed, with a confirmed overall response rate (ORR) of 41%, including a complete response, in patients with the BRAFV600E mutation, a group of patients with historically poor outcomes. Responses were observed in 10 out of 17 patients (59%) who had received only one prior line of therapy. Out of 28 patients with both a BRAFV600E mutation and a post-baseline assessment, 27 showed tumor regression.

In the safety lead-in, the triplet combination was generally well-tolerated. The most common grade 3 or 4 AEs observed in at least 10% of patients were nausea (10%), vomiting (10%), increased blood creatine kinase (10%) and urinary tract infection (10%). Three patients discontinued treatment due to AEs with only one considered related to treatment. At the time of the analysis, 76% of patients remain on study treatment after a median duration of treatment of 5.6 months (range 1.0 - 9.3 months).

BEACON CRC was initiated based on results from a Phase 2 study that included the combination of encorafenib and cetuximab in 50 patients with advanced BRAF-mutant CRC, and that was presented at the 2016 ASCO annual meeting. In this Phase 2 study, Overall Survival for these patients treated with the doublet combination of encorafenib and cetuximab exceeded one year, which is more than double several separate historical standard of care published benchmarks for this population. In addition, confirmed ORR from this study was 22%, whereas historical published benchmarks in this patient population using standard of care regimens range between 4-8%.

Worldwide, colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in men and the second most common in women, with approximately 1.4 million new diagnoses in 2012. Of these, nearly 750,000 were diagnosed in men, and 614,000 in women. Globally in 2012, approximately 694,000 deaths were attributed to colorectal cancer. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 135,430 patients will be diagnosed with cancer of the colon or rectum in 2017, and approximately 50,000 are estimated to die of their disease. In the United States, BRAF mutations are estimated to occur in 10 to 15 percent of patients with colorectal cancer and represent a poor prognosis for these patients. Based on recent estimates, the prevalence of MSI-H in tumors from patients with metastatic BRAF-mutant CRC ranged from 14% in a Phase 1b/2 trial (NCT01719380) (Array, data on file) to 18% from a recent Southwestern Oncology Group (SWOG) randomized phase 2 study.

CLINICAL TRIALS IN MICROSATELLITE STABLE METASTATIC CRC (MSS CRC) WITH BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB AND WITH MERCK
We are collaborating separately with Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck to study binimetinib plus anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with MSS CRC. The majority of metastatic colorectal cancers exhibit an MSS phenotype.

The clinical trial in collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb, which was initiated in September 2017, will investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of binimetinib in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb's Opdivo® (nivolumab) and Opdivo + Yervoy® (ipilimumab) regimen in patients with advanced MSS CRC and presence of a RAS mutation who have received one or two prior lines of therapy. The trial in collaboration with Merck, which is expected to begin during the second half of 2017, will investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of binimetinib with Merck's KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) as part of multiple novel regimens. We entered into these collaborations based on

Table of Contents

the growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence that the immune activity of an anti-PD-1 therapy can be enhanced when combined with a MEK inhibitor, such as binimetinib.

The Phase 1/2 studies are expected to establish recommended dose regimens and explore the preliminary anti-tumor activity of the combinations. Results from these studies will be used to determine optimal approaches to further clinical development of these combinations. Under the Merck agreement, Merck will act as the sponsor of this clinical trial, and Array will supply Merck with binimetinib for use in the trial. Under the Bristol-Myers Squibb agreement, Array and Bristol-Myers Squibb will jointly support the study and we will act as the sponsor.

ARRY-382 and ARRY-797 PROGRAMS
We are advancing a Phase 1/2 dose escalation trial of ARRY-382 in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda®), a PD-1 antibody, in patients with advanced solid tumors, including melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. ARRY-382 is a wholly-owned, highly selective and potent, small molecule inhibitor of CSF-1R kinase activity. A poster entitled “Phase 1b/2 dose-escalation study of ARRY-382, an oral inhibitor of colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF1R), in combination with pembrolizumab for treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors” will be presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting on November 10, 2017. The presentation will provide preliminary safety and pharmacokinetic data as well as initial efficacy data in patients with advanced solid tumors.

We plan to initiate a Phase 3 trial of ARRY-797, an oral, selective p38 MAPK inhibitor, in patients with LMNA A/C-related dilated cardiomyopathy as we evaluate options regarding the asset, including advancing it internally, partnering the program or creating a separate company to advance development and commercialization. LMNA A/C-related dilated cardiomyopathy is a rare, degenerative cardiovascular disease caused by mutations in the LMNA gene and characterized by poor prognosis.

Business Development and Partner Concentrations
 
We currently license or partner certain of our compounds and/or programs and enter into collaborations directly with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies through opportunities identified by our business development group, senior management, scientists and customer referrals. In general, our partners may terminate their agreements with us with 60 to 180 days' prior notice. Specifics regarding termination provisions under our material collaboration or partnering agreements can be found in Note 5 – Collaboration and License Agreements to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

Additional information related to the concentration of revenue among our partners is reported in Note 1 – Overview, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Concentration of Business Risks to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

All of our collaboration and license agreements are denominated in U.S. dollars, except our agreement with Ono, which is denominated in Japanese Yen.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which in turn may impact our reported revenue and expenses. Our actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

29

Table of Contents


An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since the beginning of this fiscal year. Our critical accounting policies are described under the heading "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

Reimbursement Revenue

Reimbursement revenue consists of amounts received for reimbursement of costs we incur from our license partners where Array acts as a principal, controls the research and development activities, bears credit risk and may perform part of the services required in the transactions.

In connection with regaining all development and commercialization rights to binimetinib and obtaining all development and commercialization rights to encorafenib from Novartis on March 2, 2015, we entered into two Transition Agreements with Novartis, one associated with the binimetinib Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement and the other associated with the encorafenib Asset Transfer Agreement. Under the Transition Agreements, Novartis provides us with substantial financial support for all transitioned clinical trials involving binimetinib and encorafenib in the form of reimbursement to Array for all associated out-of-pocket costs and for one-half of our fully-burdened FTE costs based on an agreed FTE rate. Novartis transitioned responsibility for Novartis-conducted trials at designated points for each trial and is providing continuing financial support to us for completing the trials. Substantially all reimbursement revenue consists of reimbursements from Novartis under the Transition Agreements for specific clinical trials involving binimetinib and encorafenib.

As shown in the table above, we recognized approximately $18.2 million and $31.3 million in reimbursement revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in reimbursement revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the prior year is attributable to the advancement of the transitioned studies which have begun to wind down, resulting in lower reimbursable expenses.

Collaboration and Other Revenue
 
Collaboration and other revenue consists of revenue for our performance of drug discovery and development activities in collaboration with partners, which includes development of proprietary drug candidates we out-license, as well as screening, lead generation, and lead optimization research.

Collaboration and other revenue increased during the periods presented above, with approximately $8.0 million and $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase mainly resulted from our collaboration with Pierre Fabre, including the advancement of the BEACON clinical trial which resulted in higher collaboration revenue.

License and Milestone Revenue

License and milestone revenue consists of upfront license fees and ongoing milestone payments from partners and collaborators.

License and milestone revenue was $3.5 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

31

Table of Contents


The increase in license and milestone revenue during the three-month period was largely attributable a $1.0 million milestone which we received and recognized as revenue from Loxo for the advancement of LOXO-195 as well as $0.9 million recognition of the the license payment received from Ono during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.

Cost of Partnered Programs

Cost of partnered programs represents research and development costs attributable to discovery and development including preclinical and clinical trials we may conduct for or with our partners. Research and development costs primarily consist of personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and other related expenses, stock-based compensation, payments made to third party contract research organizations for preclinical and clinical studies, investigative sites for clinical trials and consultants, the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials, costs associated with regulatory filings and patents, software and facilities, and laboratory costs and other supply costs.

Cost of partnered programs increased from approximately $8.8 million to $11.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in cost of partnered programs is primarily attributed to increases in our portion of development costs relating to the BEACON study of binimetinib and encorafenib in partnership with Pierre Fabre.
 
Research and Development Expenses for Proprietary Programs
 
Our research and development expenses for proprietary programs include costs associated with our proprietary drug programs, which primarily consist of personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and other related expenses, stock-based compensation, payments made to third party contract research organizations for preclinical and clinical studies, investigative sites for clinical trials and consultants, the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials, costs associated with regulatory filings and patents, software and facilities, and laboratory costs and other supply costs.

Research and development expenses for proprietary programs decreased during three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to lower outsourced services and consulting costs required for the advancement of clinical trials for binimetinib and encorafenib. As the Novartis transitioned studies have begun to wind down, the expenses associated with these studies have begun to decline as reflected in the decreased outsourced services and consulting costs for the three-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Partially offseting decreases during the current quarter was a one-time charge for commercial drug supply of binimetinib and encorafenib from Novartis.

General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses consist mainly of compensation and associated fringe benefits not included in cost of partnered programs or research and development expenses for proprietary programs and include other management, business development, commercial preparation, accounting, information technology and administration costs, including patent filing and prosecution, recruiting and relocation, consulting and professional services, travel and meals, facilities, depreciation and other office expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $12.0 million compared to $7.9 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The increase in general and administrative expense during the period is primarily driven by costs associated with building our commercial infrastructure as we prepare for potential launch of binimetinib and encorafenib, as well as a non-cash stock compensation charge for a departing executive.

We recognized $0.2 million and $(0.2) million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to adjust the fair value of the Redmile Convertible Promissory Notes as discussed in Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest income is earned from our investments in available-for-sale marketable securities. Interest expense is primarily related to our 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2020, but also includes interest expense related to Convertible Promissory Notes we issued to Redmile, and our term loan with Silicon Valley Bank, which replaced our Comerica Bank facility in December 2016. Details of our interest expense for all of our debt arrangements outstanding during the periods presented, including actual interest paid and amortization of debt and loan transaction fees, are presented in Note 4 – Debt to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Prior to September 30, 2016, the shares of preferred stock of VentiRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("VentiRx") that we received under a February 2007 collaboration and licensing agreement with VentiRx had a recorded cost of $1.5 million. We did not have a controlling interest nor did we exert significant influence over VentiRx.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, a triggering event occurred related to the underlying viability of the investment which caused us to record a $1.5 million impairment loss related to this investment. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, Celgene Corporation acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of VentiRx and we received cash proceeds in the amount of $0.5 million for our share of the proceeds of this acquisition. As of September 30, 2017, we have no remaining equity in VentiRx. We may be entitled to additional proceeds which are currently held in escrow, as well as our proportionate share of future milestone payments if certain development milestones are achieved on the program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
With the exception of fiscal year 2015, we have incurred operating losses and an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing research and development spending since inception. As of September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $956.7 million; we had net losses of approximately $38.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and of approximately $116.8 million and $92.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We had net income of approximately $9.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, our net cash used in operations was approximately $18.0 million. We have historically funded our operations from upfront fees and license and milestone payments received under our drug collaborations and license agreements, the sale of equity securities, and debt provided by convertible debt and other credit facilities.

Our ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through the sale of debt or equity securities or from debt financing from lenders when needed is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Even if we are successful, future funding from equity issuances would result in dilution to our existing stockholders and any future debt or debt securities may contain covenants that limit our operations or ability to enter into certain transactions. We also may not successfully consummate new collaboration or license agreements that provide for upfront fees or milestone payments, or we may not earn milestone payments under such agreements when anticipated, or at all. Our ability to realize milestone or royalty payments under existing agreements and to enter into new arrangements that generate additional revenue through upfront fees and milestone or royalty payments is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.

Our assessment of our future need for funding and our ability to continue to fund our operations is a forward-looking statement that is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and that involves substantial risks and uncertainties. Our actual future capital requirements could vary as a result of a number of factors. Please refer to our risk factors under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" under Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and in other reports we file with the SEC.

Table of Contents

If we are unable to generate enough revenue from our existing or new collaborations or license agreements when needed or secure additional sources of funding and receive related full and timely collections of amounts due, it may be necessary to significantly reduce our current rate of spending through reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back or stopping certain research and development programs, including more costly late phase clinical trials on our wholly-owned programs. Insufficient liquidity may also require us to relinquish greater rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms to us and our stockholders than we would otherwise choose in order to obtain upfront license fees needed to fund operations. These events could prevent us from successfully executing our operating plan and, in the future, could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Further, as discussed in Note 4Debt to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are required to maintain a monthly liquidity ratio pursuant to which our unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held at Silicon Valley Bank plus our eligible accounts must be at least two times the entire outstanding debt balance with Silicon Valley Bank, which is currently $15.0 million.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Accounts Receivable

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly-liquid financial instruments that are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase.

Short-term marketable securities consist mainly of U.S. government agency obligations with maturities of greater than 90 days when purchased. Long-term marketable securities are primarily securities held under our deferred compensation plan.

In each of the periods presented below, accounts receivable consists primarily of current receivables expected to be repaid by Novartis and within three months or less.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $61.2 million due to an increase in purchases of securities during the current period following our public offering of shares of common stock in September 2017, as compared to the prior year period where maturities and sales of investment securities were comparable to purchases.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $224.9 million primarily related to $243.0 million in net proceeds from the follow-on offering of our common stock in September 2017. This increase was slightly offset by net proceeds received during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 for at-the-market sales of our common stock under our Sales Agreement with Cantor, which were $9.4 million greater than the current quarter, and by $9.9 million in net proceeds from the Convertible Promissory Note we issued to Redmile in September 2016 which did not recur.

Our discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and other recent accounting pronouncements is set forth in Note 1 - Overview, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and fluctuations in interest rates. All of our collaboration and license agreements and nearly all purchase orders are denominated in U.S. dollars, except our agreement with Ono Pharmaceuticals entered into in May 2017, which is denominated in Japanese Yen. Future payments from Ono will be due net 30 days and will not represent a significant component of our overall cash balance. As a result, historically and as of September 30, 2017, we have had minimal exposure to market risk from changes in foreign currency or exchange rates.

Our investment portfolio is comprised primarily of readily marketable, high-quality securities that are diversified and structured to minimize market risks. We target an average portfolio maturity of one year or less. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investments in marketable securities. Marketable securities held in our investment portfolio are subject to changes in market value in response to changes in interest rates. A significant change in market interest rates could have a material impact on interest income earned from our investment portfolio. We model interest rate exposure by a sensitivity analysis that assumes a theoretical 100 basis point (1%) change in interest rates. If the yield curve were to change by 100 basis points from the level existing at September 30, 2017, we would expect future interest income to increase or decrease by approximately $1.7 million over the next 12 months based on the balance as of September 30, 2017 of $167.8 million of investments in U.S. treasury securities classified as short-term marketable securities available-for-sale. Changes in interest rates may affect the fair value of our investment portfolio; however, we will not recognize such gains or losses in our statement of operations and comprehensive loss unless the investments are sold.
 
Our term loan with Silicon Valley Bank of $15.0 million is our only variable rate debt. Assuming constant debt levels, a theoretical change of 100 basis points (1%) on our current interest rate of 2.25% on the Silicon Valley Bank debt as of September 30, 2017 would result in a change in our annual interest expense of $150 thousand.

Historically, and as of September 30, 2017, we have not used foreign currency derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other senior management personnel, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017, were effective to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we submit or file under the Securities Act of 1934: (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms; and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is expressed at a reasonable level of assurance because an internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the internal control system’s objectives will be met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
