Exhibit 99.2 Excerpt of transcript of conference call held on November 9, 2016
Next, Sanofi will purchase $10.2 million worth of insulin from MannKind in early December. Note that this insulin is considered surplus to our current needs and is carried on our books at zero value.
Finally, Sanofi will pay an additional $30.6 million in cash to MannKind in early January canceling and settling our insulin put agreement with them without our having to deliver any further insulin. In addition, it should be noted that the termination of the promissory note and security agreement allows MannKind to pursue the sale of its Valencia, California facility and the adjoining property which is now on the market for roughly $25 million without our being required to use the proceeds to reduce the balance of the loan. So this is another source of non-dilutive liquidity for MannKind.
Collectively, as a result of this agreement, we have improved our financial position by over $130 million. This will go a long way towards meeting our near-term financial needs. We have also taken steps to reduce our cash requirements to amplify this effect.
Finally, as described in our 10-Q filing we enacted a reorganization in September of this year, reducing our headcount by approximately 20%. This step was taken as part of our continuing efforts to reduce overhead and offset increased spend in the commercialization of Afrezza. As a result of these steps, we now have the financial resources to embark on important initiatives that will be discussed in more detail by Mike and by Ray.
We also announced today the completion of a revision to our largest supply agreement, pushing out our next purchase commitments to the fourth quarter of 2017 and reducing our contractual cash burn under that arrangement by $65 million for the period of 2016 through 2018 compared to the prior contract. As a result of these items and steps taken previously, we have extended our financial resources comfortably into the third quarter of 2017.
