Conference call and webcast today at 0830 EDT / 1330 BST
DUBLIN, Ireland, and Boston MA, May 5, 2021, Amryt (Nasdaq: AMYT, AIM:
AMYT), a global, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to
acquiring, developing and commercializing novel treatments for rare
diseases, today provides a business update and announces unaudited
financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Joe Wiley, CEO of Amryt Pharma, commented: "I am very pleased with
today's very strong results for Q1 which represent a 13.9% increase in
revenues on Q4 and which demonstrate the continued positive momentum and
growth we are experiencing in our business across our two commercial
products globally. Q1 was extremely busy and we delivered a number of
commercial and regulatory successes during the quarter. Our two
commercial products, metreleptin and lomitapide, continue to deliver
solid growth across a host of metrics including revenue, EBITDA growth,
cash generation and market expansion. Our EBITDA has increased 115%
compared to the same quarter in 2020.
We also achieved a number of positive reimbursement decisions in the
quarter, notably for metreleptin in England, Wales and France. On the
development front, we made regulatory submissions to both the FDA and
EMA for Oleogel-S10 and we continue to work with the respective agencies
as we progress towards potential approval and prepare for launch. If
approved, we have the commercial team, systems and infrastructure in
place to both grow our existing products and to leverage these
capabilities to launch Oleogel-S10.
Given the strong performance of the business during the quarter, we are
now increasing our revenue guidance for 2021 from $200-$205 million to
$205-$210 million excluding any potential contribution from the proposed
Chiasma transaction, which represents growth of between 12% - 15% on
2020.
Furthermore, we today announced the proposed acquisition of Chiasma,
Inc. (Nasdaq: CHMA). We believe this transformational deal can pave a
path to a combined potential $1BN peak revenue for Amryt."
Q1 2021 & Recent Business Highlights:
-- Submitted a New Drug Application to the FDA for Oleogel-S10
-- Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) accepted by the EMA for
Oleogel-S10
-- Reimbursement approval for metreleptin in England, Wales and France
-- Positive feedback from the FDA on the path forward for metreleptin

The Q1 operating loss of $3.4M includes the impact of non-cash items
including amortisation, depreciation and the impact of share-based
compensation expenses. Adjusting for these non-cash items, the Company
delivered $9.9M of EBITDA(3) for the quarter.
(2) Non-cash items include amortisation of the acquired metreleptin
and lomitapide intangible assets ($10.7M), amortisation of the inventory
fair value step-up that was acquired at the acquisition date ($1.0M),
depreciation and amortisation ($0.3M) and share based compensation
expenses ($1.3M).
(3) EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation,
amortisation and share based compensation expenses. To supplement
Amryt's financial results presented in accordance with IFRS generally
accepted accounting principles, the Company uses EBITDA as a key measure
of company performance as the Company believes that this measure is most
reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and
provides management and investors with useful supplementary information
which can enhance their ability to evaluate the operating performance of
the business. EBITDA, as measured by the Company, is not meant to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute to operating profit / loss
attributable to Amryt and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with IFRS.
Post-Period End Events:
The company earlier today announced that it has signed a definitive
agreement to acquire Chiasma, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHMA). The combined Company
will be a global leader in rare and orphan diseases with three on-market
commercial products, a global commercial and operational footprint and a
significant development pipeline of therapies with the financial
flexibility to execute its growth plans.
Guidance & Outlook:
Amryt issued FY 2021 revenue guidance on March 4, 2021 indicating that
FY 2021 revenues were expected to be in the range of $200M-$205M. Given
the continued strong performance of the Company's commercial products,
the board is now increasing FY 2021 revenue guidance to a range of
$205M-$210M excluding any potential contribution from the proposed
Chiasma transaction, which represents growth of 12-15% versus FY 2020.
Conference Call & Webcast:
Amryt will host a conference call and webcast for analysts and investors
on May 5 at 0830 EDT/1330 BST. Webcast Player URL:

Amryt's lead development candidate, Oleogel-S10 (Filsuvez(R)) is a
potential treatment for the cutaneous manifestations of Junctional and
Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa ("EB"), a rare and distressing genetic
skin disorder affecting young children and adults for which there is
currently no approved treatment. Filsuvez(R) has been selected as the
brand name for Oleogel-S10. The product does not currently have
regulatory approval to treat EB.
Amryt's pre-clinical gene therapy platform, AP103, offers a potential
treatment for patients with Dystrophic EB, and is also potentially
relevant to other genetic disorders.

2. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group
have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting. They do not include all of the information required in annual
financial statements in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should be read in conjunction with
the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2020. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and
transactions that are significant to an understanding of the Group's
financial position and performance since the last annual financial
statements. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the
interim financial information are the same as those used in the Group's
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and
those which are expected to be used in the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2021.
Results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
financial year ending December 31, 2021.
Basis of going concern
Having considered the Group's current financial position and cash flow
projections, the Board of Directors believes that the Group will be able
to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months
from the date of approval of these condensed consolidated interim
financial statements and that it is appropriate to continue to prepare
the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a going
concern basis.
As part of their inquiries, the Board of Directors reviewed budgets,
projected cash flows, and other relevant information for a period not
less than 12 months from the date of approval of the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31,
2021.
Basis of consolidation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the
financial statements of the Group for the period ended March 31, 2021.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Where the Company
has control over an investee, it is classified as a subsidiary. The
Company controls an investee if all three of the following elements are
present: power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power
to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts
and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these
elements of control.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences
until the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the Group. Intergroup balances and any unrealized
gains or losses, income or expenses arising from intergroup transactions
are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements.
Presentation of balances
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in
U.S. dollars ("US$"), rounded to the nearest thousand, which is the
functional currency of the Company and presentation currency of the
Group.
The following table discloses the major exchange rates of those
currencies other than the functional currency of US$ that are utilized

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
There are no new standards and amendments to IFRS effective as of
January 1, 2021 that are relevant to the Group.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements
in conformity with IFRS management is required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and
amounts reported in the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying
value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in
which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period
or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision
affects both current and future periods.
The significant estimates, assumptions or judgements, applied in the
condensed consolidated interim financial statements were the same as
those applied in the Group's audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2020.
Principal accounting policies
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the
Group's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2020.
3. Segment information

provided that the term may not exceed a period of seven to ten years
from the date of grant. All options will terminate 90 days after
termination of the option holder's employment, service or consultancy
with the Group except where a longer period is approved by the Board of
Directors. Under certain circumstances involving a change in control of
the Group, each option will automatically accelerate and become
exercisable in full as of a date specified by the Board of Directors.
Outstanding warrants at March 31, 2021 consisted of 8,966,520 zero cost
warrants (December 31, 2020: 8,966,520) with no expiration date that

5. Business combinations and asset acquisitions
Acquisition of Aegerion Pharmaceuticals
On May 20, 2019, Amryt entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement
(as subsequently amended on June 12, 2019) and Plan Funding Agreement
pursuant to which, among other matters, Amryt agreed to the acquisition
of Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Aegerion"), a former wholly-owned
subsidiary of Novelion Therapeutics Inc. ("Novelion"). On May 20,
2019, Aegerion and its U.S. subsidiary, Aegerion Pharmaceuticals
Holdings, Inc., filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of Title 11
of the U.S. Code in the Bankruptcy Court. On September 24, 2019, Amryt
completed the acquisition of Aegerion. Amryt acquired Aegerion upon its
emergence from bankruptcy in an exchange for ordinary shares and zero
cost warrants in Amryt. Amryt issued 85,092,423 effective shares at
US$1.793 per share, which is made up of 77,027,423 ordinary shares and
8,065,000 zero cost warrants, to acquire Aegerion for a value of
US$152,615,000.
The Company believes that the acquisition of Aegerion will enable the
Group to advance the Group's ambition to create a global leader in rare
and orphan diseases with a diversified offering of multiple
development-stage and commercial assets and provides it with scale to
support further growth.
As part of the acquisition of Aegerion, it was agreed, for certain
Aegerion creditors who wished to restrict their percentage share
interest in Amryt's issued share capital, to issue to the relevant
Aegerion creditor, as an alternative to Amryt's ordinary shares, an
equivalent number of new zero cost warrants to subscribe for Amryt's
ordinary shares to be constituted on the terms of the zero cost warrant.
Relevant Aegerion creditors are entitled at any time to exercise the
zero cost warrants, at which point in time, the Company would issue to
that Aegerion creditor the relevant number of fully paid ordinary shares
in return for the exercise of the zero cost warrants. Each zero cost
warrant entitles the holder thereof to subscribe for one ordinary share.
The zero cost warrants constitute the Company's direct and unsecured
obligations and rank pari passu and without any preference among
themselves (save for any obligations to be preferred by law) at least
equally with the Company's other present and future unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations. The zero cost warrants are not transferable
except with the Company's prior written consent.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Group incurred no
additional acquisition and restructuring related costs relating to
external legal fees, advisory fees, due diligence costs and severance
costs (March 31, 2020: US$853,000). These costs were included in
operating costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
loss.
Contingent Value Rights
Related to the transaction, Amryt issued Contingent Value Rights
("CVRs") pursuant to which up to US$85,000,000 may become payable to
Amryt's shareholders and optionholders, who were on the register prior
to the completion of the acquisition on September 20, 2019, if certain
approval and revenue milestones are met in relation Oleogel-S10, Amryt's
lead product candidate. If any such milestone is achieved, Amryt may
elect to pay the holders of CVRs by the issue of Amryt shares or loan
notes. If Amryt elects to issue Loan Notes to holders of CVRs, it will
settle such loan notes in cash 120 days after their issue. If none of
the milestones are achieved, scheme shareholders and optionholders will
not receive any additional consideration under the terms of the CVRs. In
these circumstances, the value of each CVR would be zero.
The terms of the CVRs are as follows:
-- The total CVR payable is up to US$85,000,000
-- This is divided into three milestones which are related to the success of
Oleogel-S10 (the Group's lead development asset)
-- FDA approval
-- US$35,000,000 upon FDA approval
-- 100% of the amount due if approval is obtained before December 31,
2021, with a sliding scale on a linear basis to zero if before
July 1, 2022
-- EMA approval
-- US$15,000,000 upon EMA approval
-- 100% of the amount due if approval is obtained before December 31,
2021, with a sliding scale on a linear basis to zero if before
July 1, 2022
-- Revenue targets
-- US$35,000,000 upon Oleogel-S10 revenues exceeding US$75,000,000 in
any 12-month period prior to June 30, 2024
-- Payment can at the Board's discretion be in the form of either:
-- 120-day loan notes (effectively cash), or
-- Shares valued using the 30 day / 45-day VWAP.
The CVRs were contingent on the successful completion of the acquisition
and, accordingly, have been based on fair value as at September 24,
2019. The CVRs have been classified as a financial liability in the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Given that CVRs
were issued to legacy Amryt shareholders in their capacity as owners of
the identified acquirer as opposed to the seller in the transaction,
management concluded that the most appropriate classification would be
to recognize the CVR as a distribution on consolidation instead of
goodwill.
Measurement of CVRs
As at March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the CVRs was US$63,180,000
(December 31, 2020: US$61,417,000). The value of the potential payout
was calculated using the probability-weighted expected returns method.
Using this method, the potential payment amounts were multiplied by the
probability of achievement and discounted to present value. The
probability adjusted present values took into account published orphan
drug research data and statistics which were adjusted by management to
reflect the specific circumstances applicable to the type of product
acquired in the Amryt GmbH transaction. The market-based probability
chance of success is based on market benchmarks for orphan drugs was
estimated at 89% in the period ended March 31, 2021 (2020: 89%).
Discount rates of 10% and 16.5%, as applicable, were used in the
calculation of the present value of the estimated contractual cash flows
for the period ended March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: 10% and 16.5%).
Management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions in
relation to revenue forecasts, timing of revenues and probability of
achievement of commercialization of Oleogel-S10. However, management
notes that, due to issues outside their control (i.e. regulatory
requirements and the commercial success of the product), the timing of
when such revenue targets may occur may change. Such changes may have a
material impact on the assessment of the expected cash flows of the
CVRs.
Amryt reviews the expected cash flows on a regular basis as the discount
on initial recognition is being unwound as financing expenses in the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss over the life of
the obligation. It is reviewed on a quarterly basis and the appropriate
finance charge is booked in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Loss on a quarterly basis. The Group received positive
topline data from the phase 3 EASE trial of Oleogel-S10 in September
2020. The Group recently submitted applications for approval from the
FDA and the EMA.
The total non-cash finance charge recognized in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 is US$1,763,000 (March 31, 2020: US$1,448,000).
Acquisition of Amryt GmbH (previously "Birken")
Amryt DAC signed a conditional share purchase agreement to acquire Amryt
GmbH on October 16, 2015 ("Amryt GmbH SPA"). The Amryt GmbH SPA was
completed on April 18, 2016 with Amryt DAC acquiring the entire issued
share capital of Amryt GmbH. The consideration included contingent
consideration comprising milestone payments and sales royalties as
follows:
-- Milestone payments of:
-- EUR10,000,000 on receipt of first marketing approval by the EMA of
Episalvan, paid on the completion date (April 18, 2016);
-- Either (i) EUR5,000,000 once net ex-factory sales of Episalvan
have been at least EUR100,000 or (ii) if no commercial sales are
made within 24 months of EMA first marketing approval (being
January 14, 2016), EUR2,000,000 24 months after receipt of such
approval, which was paid in January 2018, and EUR3,000,000
following the first commercial sale of Episalvan;
-- EUR10,000,000 on receipt of marketing approval by the EMA or FDA
of a pharmaceutical product containing Betulin as its API for the
treatment of EB;
-- EUR10,000,000 once net ex-factory sales/net revenue of Oleogel
S-10 first exceed EUR50,000,000 in any calendar year;
-- EUR15,000,000 once net ex-factory sales/ net revenue of Oleogel
S-10 first exceed EUR100,000,000 in any calendar year;
-- Cash consideration of EUR150,000, due and paid on the completion date
(April 18, 2016); and
-- Royalties of 9% on sales of Oleogel-S10 products for 10 years from first
commercial sale.
Fair Value Measurement of Contingent Consideration
As at March 31, 2021, the fair value of the contingent consideration was
estimated to be US$85,884,000 (December 31, 2020: US$86,906,000). The
fair value of the royalty payments was determined using probability
weighted revenue forecasts and the fair value of the milestone payments
was determined using probability adjusted present values (see Note 14,
Fair value measurement and financial risk management, for fair value
hierarchy applied and impact of key unobservable impact data). The
probability adjusted present values took into account published orphan
drug research data and statistics which were adjusted by management to
reflect the specific circumstances applicable to the type of product
acquired in the Amryt GmbH transaction. The market-based probability
chance of success is based on market benchmarks for orphan drugs was
estimated at 89% for the period ended March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020:
89%) following the positive results from our phase 3 EASE trial of
Oleogel-S10 earlier in the year. A discount rate of 14.4% was used in
the calculation of the fair value of the contingent consideration for
the three months ended March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: 14.4%).
The Group received positive top line results from the phase 3 EASE trial
of Oleogel-S10 in September 2020, and the Group recently submitted
applications for approval from the FDA and the EMA.
Amryt reviews the contingent consideration on a regular basis as the
probability adjusted fair values are being unwound as financing expenses
in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss over the
life of the obligation. The finance charge is being unwound as a
financing expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Loss on a quarterly basis.
The total non-cash finance charge recognized in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 is US$2,874,000 (March 31, 2020: US$2,906,000).

Where a loss has occurred, basic and diluted LPS are the same because
the outstanding share options and warrants are anti-dilutive.
Accordingly, diluted LPS equals the basic LPS. The share options and
warrants outstanding as at March 31, 2021 totaled 35,947,965 (March 31,
2020: 28,065,710) and are potentially dilutive.

("ADSs"), each representing five ordinary shares, as part of a
US$40,000,000 private placement equity raise to existing and new
shareholders.

treasury shares following the exercise of share options. On March 11,
2021, the Company issued 283,389 ordinary shares from treasury shares in
exchange for certain warrants. The Company issued 4,000,000 and
4,229,753 ordinary shares on July 15, 2020 and September 22, 2020,
respectively, in exchange for certain warrants.
Share Capital
Share capital represents the cumulative par value arising upon issue of
ordinary shares of Sterling 6 pence each.
The ordinary shares have the right to receive notice of, attend and vote
at general meetings and participate in the profits of the Company.
Share Premium
Share premium represents the consideration that has been received in
excess of the nominal value on issue of share capital net of issue costs
and transfers to distributable reserves.
Warrant reserve
The warrant reserve represents zero cost warrants issued as part of the
equity raise on September 24, 2019 net of issue costs apportioned to
warrants issued and additional warrants issued to certain shareholders
on November 14, 2019. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for
one ordinary share at zero cost. The Company issued 4,000,000 and
4,229,753 ordinary shares on July 15, 2020 and September 22, 2020,
respectively, in exchange for certain warrants.

payments in accordance with IFRS 2. In March 2021, the Company issued
283,389 ordinary shares in exchange for certain warrants.
Merger reserve
The merger reserve was created on the acquisition of Amryt DAC by Amryt
Pharma plc in April 2016. Ordinary shares in Amryt Pharma plc were
issued to acquire the entire issued share capital of Amryt DAC. Under
section 612 of the UK Companies Act 2006, the premium on these shares
has been included in a merger reserve.
Reverse acquisition reserve
The reverse acquisition reserve arose during the period ended December
31, 2016 in respect of the reverse acquisition of Amryt Pharma plc by
Amryt DAC. Since the shareholders of Amryt DAC became the majority
shareholders of the enlarged Group, the acquisition is accounted for as
though there is a continuation of Amryt DAC's financial statements. The
reverse acquisition reserve is created to maintain the equity structure
of Amryt Pharma plc in compliance with UK company law.
Equity component of convertible notes
The equity component of convertible notes represents the equity
component of the US$125,000,000 convertible debt and is measured by
determining the residual of the fair value of the instrument less the
estimated fair value of the liability component. The equity component is
recognized in equity and is not subsequently remeasured.
Currency translation reserve
The currency translation reserve arises on the retranslation of non-U.S.
dollar denominated foreign subsidiaries.
Accumulated deficit

============ ============
As part of the acquisition of Aegerion on September 24, 2019, Aegerion
entered into a new U.S. dollar denominated US$81,021,000 secured term
loan debt facility ("Term Loan") with various lenders. The Term Loan
is made up of a US$54,469,000 loan that was in place prior to the
acquisition which was refinanced as part of the acquisition and a
US$26,552,000 additional loan that was drawn down on September 24, 2019.
The Term Loan has a five-year term from the date of the draw down,
September 24, 2019 and matures on September 24, 2024. Under the Term
Loan, interest will be payable at the option of the Group at the rate of
11% per annum paid in cash on a quarterly basis or at a rate of 6.5%
paid in cash plus 6.5% paid in kind that will be paid when the principal
is repaid, which rolls up and is included in the principal balance
outstanding, on a quarterly basis. Unpaid accrued interest of
US$1,431,000 as at March 31, 2021 is recognized in current liabilities
with trade and other payables (December 31, 2020: $1,439,000). The Term
Loan may be prepaid, in whole or in part, by Aegerion at any time
subject to payment of an exit fee, which depending on the stage of the
loan term, ranges from 5.00% to 0.00% of the principal then outstanding
on the Term Loan.
In connection with the Term Loan, the Group incurred approximately
US$870,000 of debt issuance costs, which primarily consisted of
underwriting, legal and other professional fees. These costs are being
amortized over the expected life of the loan using the effective
interest method.
The Term Loan is guaranteed by Amryt and certain subsidiaries of the
Group. In connection with the loan agreement, fixed and floating charges
have been placed on property and undertakings of Amryt and certain
subsidiaries of the Group.
The Term Loan agreement includes affirmative and negative covenants,
including prohibitions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness,
granting of liens, certain asset dispositions, investments, and
restricted payments, in each case, subject to certain exceptions set
forth in the Loan Agreement. The Term Loan agreement also includes
customary events of default for a transaction of this type and includes
(i) a cross-default to the occurrence of any event of default under
material indebtedness of Aegerion and certain subsidiaries of the Group
and Amryt, including the convertible notes, and (ii) Amryt or any of its
subsidiaries being subject to bankruptcy or other insolvency
proceedings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may
declare all of the outstanding Term Loan and other obligations under the
Term Loan agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise all
rights and remedies available to the lenders under the Term Loan
agreement and related documentation. There have been no events of
default or breaches of the covenants occurring for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: no events).

As part of the acquisition, Aegerion issued convertible notes with an
aggregate principal amount of US$125,000,000 to Aegerion creditors.
The convertible notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest
at a rate of 5.0% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1
and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020. The convertible
notes will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or
converted.
The convertible notes are convertible into Amryt's ordinary shares at a
conversion rate of 386.75 ordinary shares per US$1,000 principal amount
of the convertible notes. If the holders elect to convert the
convertible notes, Aegerion can settle the conversion of the convertible
notes through payment or delivery of cash, common shares, or a
combination of cash and common shares, at its discretion. As a result of
the conversion feature in the convertible notes, the convertible notes
were assessed to have both a debt and an equity component. The two
components were assessed separately and classified as a financial
liability and equity instrument. The financial liability component was
measured at fair value based on the discounted cash flows expected over
the expected term of the notes using a discount rate based on a market
interest rate that a similar debt instrument without a conversion
feature would be subject to. Refer to Note 10, Share capital and
reserves, for further details on the equity component of the convertible
notes.
From September 24, 2019 until the close of business on the second
scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders
may convert all or any portion of their convertible notes, in multiples
of US$1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder.
The indenture does not contain any financial covenants or restrict the
Group's ability to repurchase securities, pay dividends or make
restricted payments in the event of a transaction that substantially
increases the Group's level of indebtedness in certain circumstances.
The indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of
default. If an event of default (other than certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization involving Aegerion, Amryt and certain
subsidiaries of the Group) occurs and is continuing, the trustee by
notice to Aegerion, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the outstanding convertible notes by written notice to Aegerion and
the trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on all of the convertible notes to be due and payable.
Upon such a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately. Upon the
occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
involving Aegerion, 100% of the principal and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the convertible notes will become due and payable
automatically. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indenture provides
that, upon Aegerion's election, and for up to 180 days, the sole remedy
for an event of default relating to certain failures by Aegerion to
comply with certain reporting covenants in the indenture consists
exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the
convertible notes. There have been no events of default or breaches of
the covenants occurring for the period ended March 31, 2021 (2020: no
events).

Legal matters
Prior to the acquisition of Aegerion by Amryt, Aegerion entered into
settlement agreements with governmental entities including the
Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the FDA in connection with Juxtapid
investigations. The settlement agreements require Aegerion to pay
specified fines and engage in regulatory compliance efforts. Subsequent
to the acquisition, Aegerion made US$23,036,000 of settlement payments,
including interest. The settlements have been paid in full with the last
payment completed in Q1 2021. There is no current liability recognized
as at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: US$3,976,000). There is no
non-current liability at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: nil).
Other matters
The Group recognizes a liability for legal contingencies when it
believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and
that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Group
reviews these accruals and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations,
settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant
information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Group's
views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments,
investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in the Group's
liability accrual would be recorded in the period in which such
determination is made. At March 31, 2021 the Group had recognized
liabilities of US$6,000,000 in relation to ongoing legal matters
(December 31, 2020 US$6,000,000).

Financial instruments evaluated at fair value can be classified
according to the following valuation hierarchy, which reflects the
extent to which the fair value is observable:
-- Level 1: fair value evaluations using prices listed on active markets
(not adjusted) of identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2: fair value evaluations using input data for the asset or
liability that are either directly observable (as prices) or indirectly
observable (derived from prices), but which do not constitute listed
prices pursuant to Level 1.
-- Level 3: fair value evaluations using input data for the asset or
liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
input data).
The contingent consideration has been valued using Level 3. The
contingent consideration comprises:
-- Contingent consideration relating to the acquisition of Amryt GmbH (see
Note 5, Business combinations and asset acquisitions) that was measured
at US$85,884,000 as at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: US$86,906,000).
The fair value comprises royalty payments which was determined using
probability weighted revenue forecasts and the fair value of the
milestones payments which was determined using probability adjusted
present values. It also included a revision to the discount rate used,
and revenue and costs forecasts have been amended to reflect management's
current expectations.
Impact of key unobservable input data
-- An increase of 10% in estimated revenue forecasts would result in an
increase to the fair value of US$6,009,000. A decrease would have the
opposite effect.
-- A 5% increase in the discount factor used would result in a decrease to
the fair value of US$14,718,000. A decrease of 5% would result in an
increase to the fair value of US$19,539,000.
-- A six-month delay in the launch date for Oleogel-S10 would result in a
decrease to the fair value of US$8,576,000.
15. Events after the reporting period
On May 5, 2021, Amryt announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement to acquire Chiasma, Inc. ("Chiasma") in an all-stock
combination. The combined company will be a global leader in rare and
orphan diseases with three on-market commercial products, a global
commercial and operational footprint and a significant development
pipeline of therapies with the financial flexibility to execute its
growth plans. The transaction has been approved and recommended by the
Boards of both Amryt and Chiasma.
Under the terms of the transaction, each share of Chiasma common stock
issued and outstanding prior to the consummation of the transaction will
be exchanged for 0.396 Amryt ADSs, each representing five Amryt ordinary
shares. As of the close of trading on May 4, 2021 Amryt's ordinary
shares on AIM were GBP2.00 ($2.78) per share and Amryt's ADS's on Nasdaq
were $12.95 (GBP9.31) per ADS.
There were no other significant events since the end of the reporting
period.
