ARRAY BIOPHARMA INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements


NOTE 1 – OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

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

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited 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 financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our 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.

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, from which we derived our balance sheet data as of June 30, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our 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 our 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.

We believe our 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; (v) estimating the fair value of non-marketable equity received from licensing transactions; and (vi) estimating the fair value of equity securities subject to restrictions related to transfer of the shares.

Liquidity

We have incurred operating losses and an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing research and development spending since inception. As of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $754.1 million. We had net losses of $8.6 million and $36.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and net losses of $85.3 million, $61.9 million and $23.6 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

We have historically funded our operations from up-front 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. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 will enable us to continue to fund operations in the normal course of business for at least the next 12 months. Until we can generate sufficient levels of cash from operations, which we do not expect to achieve in the next two years, and because sufficient funds may not be available to us when needed from

7

Table of Contents

existing collaborations, we expect that we will be required to continue to fund our operations in part through the sale of debt or equity securities, through licensing select programs or partial economic rights that include up-front, royalty and/or milestone payments.

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 and, even if we are successful, future equity issuances would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We also may not successfully consummate new collaboration and license agreements that provide for up-front 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 up-front fees and milestone or royalty payments is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.

In addition, 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 involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

If we are unable to generate enough revenue from our existing or new collaboration and license agreements when needed or to secure additional sources of funding, it may be necessary to significantly reduce the current rate of spending through further reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back, or stopping certain research and development programs, including more costly Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials on our wholly-owned programs as these programs progress into later stage development. 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 up-front 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 5 Long-term Debt, if at any time our balance of total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Comerica Bank and approved outside accounts falls below $22 million, we must maintain a balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Comerica at least equivalent to the entire outstanding debt balance with Comerica, which is currently $14.6 million. We must also maintain a monthly liquidity ratio if we draw down on the revolving line of credit.

Fair Value Measurements

We follow accounting guidance on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to value our financial instruments:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires us to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that we or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents and marketable securities approximate their fair value based upon quoted market prices. Where marketable securities are subject to restrictions on transfer, such as our investment in Loxo Oncology Inc.'s ("Loxo") common shares, we apply a marketability discount to the quoted market price.

8

Table of Contents

See Note 2 - Marketable Securities for further discussion regarding determination of fair value for our investment in Loxo. Certain of our financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash, accounts receivable and payable, and other financial instruments in current assets or current liabilities.

Marketable Securities

We have designated our marketable securities as of each balance sheet date as available-for-sale securities and account for them at their respective fair values. Marketable securities are classified as short-term or long-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability to meet current operating requirements. Marketable securities that are readily available for use in current operations are classified as short-term available-for-sale securities and are reported as a component of current assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Marketable securities that are not considered available for use in current operations are classified as long-term available-for-sale securities and are reported as a component of long-term assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

Securities that are classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, including accrued interest, with temporary unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders' deficit until their disposition. We review all available-for-sale securities at each period end to determine if they remain available-for-sale based on our then current intent and ability to sell the security if it is required to do so. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

All of our marketable securities are subject to a periodic impairment review. We recognize an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of our investments below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary.

Equity Investments

From time to time, we may enter into collaboration and license agreements under which we receive an equity interest as consideration for all or a portion of up-front, license or other fees under the terms of the agreement. We report equity securities received from non-publicly traded companies in which we do not exercise a significant or controlling interest at cost in other long-term assets in the accompanying balance sheets. We monitor our investments for impairment at least annually, and consider events or changes in circumstances we know of that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value. We make appropriate reductions in the carrying value if it is determined that an impairment has occurred, based primarily on the financial condition and near and long-term prospects of the issuer. We do not report the fair value of our equity investments in non-publicly traded companies because it is not practical to do so.

Array received shares of Loxo Oncology Inc.'s non-voting preferred stock as consideration for licensing rights we granted to Loxo under our July 2013 Drug Discovery Collaboration Agreement. Based on a valuation analysis prepared with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, we recorded the $4.5 million estimated fair value of the preferred shares as a long-term investment utilizing the cost method of accounting. In August 2014, Loxo completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of its common stock, which then began to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market. At the closing of the IPO, the preferred shares we held were converted into approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock and, based on the readily determinable fair value of the Loxo common stock following the IPO, we began to account for our investment in Loxo as available-for-sale securities.

As of both December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, we held shares of preferred stock of VentiRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. valued at $1.5 million that we received under a February 2007 Collaboration and License Agreement with VentiRx.

Accrued Outsourcing Costs

Substantial portions of our preclinical studies and clinical trials are performed by third-party laboratories, medical centers, contract research organizations and other vendors (collectively "CROs"). These CROs generally bill monthly or quarterly for services performed, or bill based upon milestone achievement. For preclinical studies, we accrue expenses based upon estimated percentage of work completed and the contract milestones remaining. For clinical studies, expenses are accrued based upon the number of patients enrolled and the duration of the study. We monitor patient enrollment, the progress of clinical studies and related activities to the extent possible through internal reviews of data reported to us by the CROs, correspondence with the CROs and clinical site visits. Our estimates depend on the timeliness and accuracy of the data provided by the CROs

9

Table of Contents

regarding the status of each program and total program spending. We periodically evaluate the estimates to determine if adjustments are necessary or appropriate based on information we receive.

Convertible Senior Notes

Our 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options. ASC 470-20 requires the issuer of convertible debt that may be settled in shares or cash upon conversion at the issuer's option, such as our notes, to account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components separately. The value assigned to the debt component is the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar debt instrument without the conversion option. The amount of the equity component (and resulting debt discount) is calculated by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the principal amount of the convertible debt instrument. The resulting debt discount is amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the notes utilizing the effective interest method. Although ASC 470-20 has no impact on our actual past or future cash flows, it requires us to record non-cash interest expense as the debt discount is amortized. For additional information, see Note 5 – Long-term Debt.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue for the performance of services or the shipment of products when each of the following four criteria is met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) products are delivered or as services are rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

We follow ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements and ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements, if applicable, to determine the recognition of revenue under our collaborative research, development and commercialization agreements. The terms of these agreements generally contain multiple elements, or deliverables, which may include (i) grants of licenses, or options to obtain licenses, to our intellectual property, (ii) research and development services, (iii) drug product manufacturing, and/or (iv) participation on joint research and/or joint development committees. The payments we may receive under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; option exercise fees; funding of research and/or development efforts; amounts due upon the achievement of specified objectives; and/or royalties on future product sales.

ASC 605-25 provides guidance relating to the separability of deliverables included in an arrangement into different units of accounting and the allocation of arrangement consideration to the units of accounting. The evaluation of multiple-element arrangements requires management to make judgments about (i) the identification of deliverables, (ii) whether such deliverables are separable from the other aspects of the contractual relationship, (iii) the estimated selling price of each deliverable, and (iv) the expected period of performance for each deliverable.

To determine the units of accounting under a multiple-element arrangement, management evaluates certain separation criteria, including whether the deliverables have stand-alone value, based on the relevant facts and circumstances for each arrangement. Management then estimates the selling price for each unit of accounting and allocates the arrangement consideration to each unit utilizing the relative selling price method. The allocated consideration for each unit of accounting is recognized over the related obligation period in accordance with the applicable revenue recognition criteria.

If there are deliverables in an arrangement that are not separable from other aspects of the contractual relationship, they are treated as a combined unit of accounting, with the allocated revenue for the combined unit recognized in a manner consistent with the revenue recognition applicable to the final deliverable in the combined unit. Payments received prior to satisfying the relevant revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheets and recognized as revenue when the related revenue recognition criteria are met.

We typically receive non-refundable, up-front payments when licensing our intellectual property, which often occurs in conjunction with a research and development agreement. When management believes that the license to our intellectual property has stand-alone value, we generally recognize revenue attributed to the license upon delivery provided that there are no future performance requirements for use of the license. When management believes that the license to our intellectual property does not have stand-alone value, we typically recognize revenue attributed to the license on a straight-line basis over the contractual or estimated performance period. When the performance period is not specifically identifiable from the agreement, we estimate the performance period based upon provisions contained within the agreement, such as the duration of the research or development term.

Most of our agreements provide for non-refundable milestone payments. We recognize revenue that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. A milestone is considered substantive when the consideration payable to us for such milestone (i) is consistent with our performance necessary to achieve the milestone or the increase in value to the collaboration resulting from our performance, (ii) relates solely to our past performance and (iii) is reasonable relative to all of the other deliverables and payments within the arrangement. In making this assessment, we consider all facts and circumstances relevant to the arrangement, including factors such as the scientific, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the milestone, the level of effort and investment required to achieve the milestone and whether any portion of the milestone consideration is related to future performance or deliverables.

For payments payable on achievement of milestones that do not meet all of the conditions to be considered substantive, we recognize a portion of the payment as revenue when the specific milestone is achieved, and the contingency is removed, based on the applicable percentage earned of the estimated research or development effort, or other performance obligations that have elapsed, to the total estimated research and/or development effort attributable to the milestone. In other cases, when a non-substantive milestone payment is attributed to our future research or development obligations, we recognize the revenue on a straight-line basis, or other appropriate method, over the estimated remaining research or development effort. Other contingent event-based payments for which payment is either contingent solely upon the passage of time or the result of collaborator's performance are recognized when earned.

We periodically review the estimated performance periods under each of our agreements that provide for non-refundable up-front payments, license fees or milestone payments. We adjust the periods over which revenue should be recognized when appropriate to reflect changes in assumptions relating to the estimated performance periods. We could accelerate revenue recognition in the event of early termination of programs or if our expectations change. Alternatively, we could decelerate revenue recognition if programs are extended or delayed. While changes to our estimates have no impact on our reported cash flows, the amount of revenue recorded in future periods could be materially impacted.

See Note 4 – Collaboration and License Agreements for further information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU No. 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method, nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

In August 2014, the Loxo preferred shares we held converted into approximately 1.6 million common shares as a result of Loxo's IPO. The Loxo common shares have the same $4.5 million cost basis as the Loxo preferred shares we previously held. The common shares are subject to restrictions on transfer under a lock-up agreement we entered into with Loxo's underwriters and under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. Due to these restrictions, we applied a marketability discount determined with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm to the market price of Loxo's common stock in order to estimate the fair value of our common shares. We derived an estimated fair value of $18.0 million for the Loxo common shares as of December 31, 2014, after applying this marketability discount. We recorded an unrealized gain of $13.5 million, representing the difference between the cost basis and the estimated fair value as of December 31, 2014, as accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder's deficit section of our balance sheet and as a change in unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities in our statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Our investment in Loxo will be revalued on each balance sheet date.

The majority of the mutual fund securities shown in the above tables are securities held under the Array BioPharma Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan.

NOTE 3 - TERMINATION AND ASSET TRANSFER AGREEMENT

On December 3, 2014, Array announced that it entered into a Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement dated November 26, 2014 (the "Binimetinib Agreement"), with Novartis Pharma AG ("Novartis AG") and Novartis International Pharmaceutical Ltd. ("Novartis"). Under the Binimetinib Agreement, Array, Novartis AG and Novartis agreed to the terms pursuant to which Array will regain all development and commercialization rights to binimetinib, a MEK oncology program that we had previously licensed to Novartis under a License Agreement dated April 19, 2010. When the transactions contemplated by the Binimetinib Agreement become effective, the existing License Agreement will terminate. Until the License Agreement terminates, we continue to account for our co-development of binimetinib with Novartis in accordance with the License Agreement.

Table of Contents

Novartis’ divestiture of the binimetinib assets to Array and the termination of the existing License Agreement pursuant to the Binimetinib Agreement is contingent upon, and will automatically become effective as of the closing of the transactions announced by Novartis AG and GlaxoSmithKline PLC (the “GSK Transactions”) on April 22, 2014. The Binimetinib Agreement is also subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals.

The Binimetinib Agreement requires that Novartis, at its expense, transfer or exclusively license to Array all assets, including intellectual property, regulatory filings, technology, inventory and contract rights, owned by Novartis or its affiliates that relate to binimetinib worldwide. We will receive an up-front payment of up to $85 million within 30 days of the effective date, which is the closing of the GSK Transactions. Following the effective date, we will have full rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize binimetinib and, as a result of the termination of the existing License Agreement, will not be required to pay our portion of accrued co-development costs, including a $15 million obligation for fiscal year 2014.

In addition, on the effective date of the Binimetinib Agreement, Array, Novartis AG and Novartis will enter into certain ancillary agreements relating to the transfer of the binimetinib assets, the transition of ongoing clinical trials and post-closing supply and other transition support obligations of Novartis.

Novartis will be responsible for continued conduct and funding of the ongoing COLUMBUS trial through completion of last patient first visit, but no later than June 30, 2016. At that time, conduct of the trial will transfer to Array, and Novartis will continue to reimburse Array for all out-of-pocket costs and one-half of Array’s fully-burdened full-time employee ("FTE") costs based on an annual FTE rate through the end of the trial. See Note 9 - Subsequent Event for additional information.

All other clinical trials involving binimetinib, including the Phase 3 NRAS melanoma clinical trial (NEMO) and Phase 3 low-grade serous ovarian cancer trial (MILO) will continue to be conducted as currently contemplated, with Novartis providing substantial financial support in the form of reimbursement to Array for all associated out-of-pocket costs and for one-half of Array’s FTE costs based on an annual FTE rate. At designated points for each trial, Novartis will transition responsibility and provide this continuing financial support to us for completing the trials.

NEMO trial: Novartis will conduct and solely fund the Phase 3 NEMO trial through June 30, 2016. For all NEMO activities required following that date, we would be responsible for conducting the trial and Novartis would provide the financial support to us described above.
MILO trial: We will continue conduct and complete the Phase 3 MILO trial and Novartis will provide financial support to us as described above.
Novartis will conduct and fund, and transfer at designated times all other Novartis sponsored trials, including a series of planned clinical pharmacology and pediatric trials, through December 31, 2015. For all activities required following that date, we will be responsible for conducting those trials and Novartis would provide financial support to us as described above.
On the effective date, Novartis will transfer at designated times, and we will oversee the conduct and completion of, all ongoing and planned investigator sponsored clinical trials. Novartis will provide financial support to us as described above.

Novartis will remain responsible for conducting and funding development of the NRAS melanoma companion diagnostic until Premarket Approval is received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Following approval, Novartis will transfer the product and Premarket Approval to a diagnostic vendor of our designation.

Novartis also retains binimetinib supply obligations for all clinical and commercial needs for up to 30 months after closing and will also assist us in the technology and manufacturing transfer of binimetinib. Novartis will also provide Array continued clinical supply of several Novartis pipeline compounds including, but not limited to, LEE011 (CDK 4/6 inhibitor) and BYL719 (α-PI3K inhibitor), for use in currently ongoing combination studies, and possible future studies, including Phase 3 trials, with binimetinib.

Each party has also agreed to indemnify and hold the other party and its affiliates harmless from and against certain liabilities identified in the Binimetinib Agreement and to a general release of claims relating to the existing License Agreement. The Binimetinib Agreement may be terminated only upon the mutual agreement of Novartis

and Array or by either Novartis or Array if the GSK Transactions are terminated without the consummation thereof.

As described below under Note 9 - Subsequent Event, on January 19, 2015, Array, Novartis AG and Novartis amended the Binimetinib Agreement in connection with an Asset Transfer Agreement between Array and Novartis AG pursuant to which Array will obtain worldwide development and commercialization rights to encorafenib (LGX818), subject to regulatory approvals and the closing of the GSK Transactions. The amendment modified certain terms of the Binimetinib Agreement to reflect transfer of encorafenib rights to Array and not to a third party as originally contemplated.

Biogen Idec

Array entered into a Drug Discovery Collaboration Agreement with Biogen Idec MA Inc. ("Biogen") in May 2014 for the discovery and development of Array-discovered inhibitors targeting a novel kinase for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Under the terms of the agreement, Biogen and Array will collaborate on the discovery of the novel kinase inhibitors. Biogen will be responsible for all aspects of clinical development and commercialization. Pursuant to advance quarterly funding from Biogen, Array will provide staffing to support the discovery program during the three-year discovery program term, which may be extended for an additional 12-month period upon consent from both parties. The agreement includes research funding for three years, various milestone payments payable upon achievement of certain development and commercial milestones, and royalties to Array.

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements, we identified two non-contingent deliverables that met the separation criteria, the first being conduct of discovery and pre-IND manufacturing activities under the discovery program (the “discovery program deliverable”), and participation on the joint research committee ("JRC") as the second. The discovery program deliverable and the JRC deliverable are both expected to be delivered throughout the duration of the discovery program term. Revenue recognized under the Biogen agreement during the periods presented is based upon the level of staffing provided during those periods and our established FTE rate for research services.

The agreement will continue on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until no further payments of any kind are due to Array. Biogen may terminate the agreement for any reason upon 12 months after the effective date with three months’ notice, upon Array’s material breach or default under the discovery program, in

the event of a change of control at Array, or if Array cannot perform any material obligations under the agreement for a specified period. The agreement may be terminated by either party for an uncured material breach of the agreement by the other party, or in the event of the other parties’ bankruptcy. Array and Biogen have also agreed to indemnify the other party for breaches of their respective representations and warranties under the agreement and certain of their respective activities under the agreement.

Celgene

Array and Celgene Corporation and Celgene Alpine Investment Co., LLC (collectively "Celgene") entered into a Drug Discovery and Development Option and License Agreement in July 2013 to collaborate on development of an Array-invented preclinical development program targeting a novel inflammation pathway. The agreement provides Celgene an option to select multiple clinical development candidates that Celgene may further develop on an exclusive basis under the agreement. Celgene also has the option to obtain exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize one or more of the development compounds it selects upon payment of an option exercise fee to Array. Array will be responsible for funding and conducting preclinical discovery research on compounds directed at the target, and Celgene will be responsible for all clinical development and commercialization of any compounds it selects.
  
Array received a non-refundable up-front payment of $11 million from Celgene during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Array is also eligible to receive potential milestone payments of up to $376 million based upon achievement of development, regulatory and sales objectives identified in the agreement, plus royalties on net sales of all drugs. Additionally, Array will retain all rights to the program if Celgene does not exercise its option.

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements, we determined that Array is obligated to deliver three non-contingent deliverables related to the Celgene agreement.  These deliverables are (i) the performance of research services under the discovery program (the "research services deliverable"), (ii) a non-exclusive license granted to Celgene to certain Array and collaboration technology for the sole purpose of being able to perform collaboration activities and (iii) participation on the JRC. The Celgene agreement provides for no general right of return for any non-contingent deliverable. Both the research services deliverable and the JRC deliverable meet the separation criteria; however, the non-exclusive license deliverable has no value outside of the collaboration, therefore, it does not meet the separation criteria and is recognized as a combined unit of accounting with the research services deliverable. The research services deliverable and the JRC deliverable are both expected to be delivered throughout the duration of the option term, which is the period of time between the effective date of the agreement and the earlier of a specified amount of time after the completion of certain preclinical studies to be conducted under the Celgene agreement, or three years after the effective date. The option term may be extended by Celgene for an additional one-year period under certain circumstances specified in the agreement.

The exclusive license that Celgene may obtain by exercising its option and paying an exercise fee to Array is a contingent deliverable due to the uncertainty regarding whether Celgene will exercise its option. Therefore, we did not allocate any of the up-front payment received to this contingent deliverable.
    
Determining a selling price for the research services deliverable required the use of certain estimates, including our estimate for the expected length of the option term, which we believed would be three years, and the number of FTEs required for the conduct of the discovery program. We utilized vendor-specific objective evidence for our FTE costs related to activities to be performed by Array scientists, as well as third-party estimates to determine the costs of the preclinical studies that we plan to outsource. We estimated a selling price for the JRC deliverable by estimating the time required for our scientists to perform their obligations and utilized our established FTE rate for research services as an estimate of what we would bill for this time if we sold this deliverable on a stand-alone basis.

The majority of the up-front payment received is for the performance of research services, which we are recognizing in collaboration revenue over the estimated option term, which originally was estimated to be three years. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, we revised this estimate to just over two years. Therefore, we have prospectively adjusted recognition of the unrecognized portion of the up-front payment at the time of the change in estimate over the revised remaining option period. Deferred revenue balances were $4.6 million and $7.3 million at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

Table of Contents

The Celgene agreement will continue on a country-by-country basis until the termination of the royalty payment obligations or, if earlier, the termination of the agreement in accordance with its terms. The agreement may be terminated by either party for an uncured material breach by the other party. In addition, Celgene may terminate the agreement in its entirety or as to any collaboration compound by giving Array six months’ prior notice, and in any such event the rights to any terminated programs would revert to Array and Celgene’s obligation to pay milestones or royalties with respect to any terminated programs would terminate. If Celgene does not exercise its option to obtain an exclusive license, the period of exclusivity to be observed by Array under the agreement will end upon expiration of the option term. If Celgene does exercise its option, the period of exclusivity will continue as long as Celgene either has an active development program for, or is commercializing, a compound selected under the agreement, and Array continues to be entitled to receive milestones or royalties under the agreement. Array and Celgene have also agreed to indemnify the other party for breaches of their respective representations and warranties under the agreement and certain of their respective activities under the agreement.

Genentech, Inc.
 
We entered into a Licensing and Collaboration Agreement with Genentech Inc. ("Genentech") in December 2003 for development of small molecule drugs invented by Array directed at multiple therapeutic targets in the field of oncology. In August 2011, we entered into a License Agreement with Genentech for the development of each company’s small-molecule Checkpoint kinase 1 ("Chk-1") program in oncology. 

Under the 2003 agreement, Genentech made an up-front payment and provided research funding to Array, and we are entitled to receive additional milestone payments based on achievement of certain development and commercialization milestones and royalties on certain resulting product sales under the agreement. The 2003 agreement was expanded in 2005, 2008, and 2009 to develop clinical candidates directed against additional targets and, in 2010 the term of funded research was extended through January 2013, after which the research term ended. We have received up-front and milestone payments totaling $23.5 million under the 2003 agreement, including a $1.0 million milestone earned during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We are eligible to earn an additional $23.0 million in payments if Genentech continues development and achieves the remaining milestones set forth in the 2003 agreement.

The partnered drugs under the Chk-1 agreement include Genentech’s compound GDC-0425 and Array’s compound GDC-0575 (ARRY-575).  In 2014, Genentech selected GDC-0575 over GDC-0425 to advance into further clinical trials. Under the terms of the Chk-1 collaboration agreement, Genentech acquired a license to Array’s compound GDC-0575 and is responsible for all clinical development and commercialization activities. We received an up-front payment of $28 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and are eligible to receive payments of up to $380 million based on the achievement of clinical and commercial milestones under this agreement.  We will also receive up to double-digit royalties on sales of any drugs resulting from the Chk-1 agreement.

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements, we determined that Array is obligated to deliver three non-contingent deliverables related to the Chk-1 agreement that meet the separation criteria and therefore are treated as separate units of accounting.  These deliverables are (i) the delivery of specified clinical materials for GDC-0575 for use in future clinical trials, (ii) the transfer of the license and related technology with ongoing regulatory services to assist in filing the Investigational New Drug ("IND") application and to provide supporting data, and (iii) activities related to the achievement of a specified milestone. The Chk-1 agreement provides for no general right of return for any non-contingent deliverable.

The first and second non-contingent deliverables were completed during fiscal 2012 and revenue for both of these deliverables was recognized in full during that period. We are recognizing revenue allocated to the third obligation over the period from inception of the Chk-1 agreement until such time that the specified milestone is achieved.

The Chk-1 agreement also includes a contingent deliverable whereby Genentech could, at its sole option, require us to perform chemistry, manufacturing and control ("CMC") activities for additional drug product or improved processes.  The CMC option is a contingent deliverable because the scope, likelihood and timing of the potential services are unclear. Certain critical terms of the services have not yet been negotiated, including the fee that we would receive for the service and Genentech could elect to acquire the drug materials without our assistance either by manufacturing them in-house or utilizing a third-party vendor. Therefore, no portion of the up-front payment was allocated to the contingent CMC services.

The determination of the stand-alone value for each non-contingent deliverable under the Chk-1 agreement required the use of significant estimates, including estimates of the time to complete the transfer of related technology and to assist in filing the IND. Further, to determine the stand-alone value of the license and initial milestone, we considered the negotiation discussions that led to the final terms of the agreement, publicly-available data for similar licensing arrangements between other companies and the economic terms of previous collaborations Array has entered into with other partners. We also considered the likelihood of achieving the initial milestone based on our historical experience with early stage development programs and on the ability to achieve the milestone with either of the two partnered drugs, GDC-0425 or GDC-0575. Taking into account these factors, we allocated a portion of the up-front payment to the first milestone. No portion of any revenue recognized is refundable.

We had deferred revenue balances of $99 thousand and $367 thousand for Genentech at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

Genentech may terminate the 2003 agreement in its entirety upon four months' written notice to Array, and may terminate the Chk-1 agreement upon 60 days' written notice to Array. Under the Chk-1 agreement, either party may terminate upon a material breach by the other party that is not cured within the specified time period. If Genentech terminates the Chk-1 agreement due to a material breach by Array, the license to Genentech becomes irrevocable and the royalty to Array will be reduced to a specified percentage. If the Chk-1 agreement is terminated by Genentech for convenience or by Array due to a material breach by Genentech, the license granted to Genentech will terminate, Genentech will continue to be required to pay milestone and royalty payments on any programs for which Genentech had initiated clinical development and Array's exclusivity obligations will continue so long as Genentech is developing or commercializing at least one product subject to the Chk-1 agreement. Array and Genentech have also agreed to indemnify the other party for breaches of representations or warranties made under the Chk-1 agreements and for certain of their respective activities under the Chk-1 agreement.

Loxo Oncology, Inc.
 
In July 2013, Array entered into a Drug Discovery Collaboration Agreement with Loxo and granted Loxo exclusive rights to develop and commercialize certain Array-invented compounds targeted at the tropomyosin kinase ("Trk") family of receptors, including LOXO-101, which is currently in a Phase 1 trial. In April 2014, Array and Loxo amended the agreement to expand the research activities under the agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Loxo will fund further preclinical research to be conducted by Array during the remainder of the three-year discovery research phase, which may be extended by Loxo for up to two additional one-year renewal periods. In addition, Loxo will fund further discovery and preclinical research to be conducted by Array directed at other targets during the research phase of the agreement. Loxo will be responsible for all additional preclinical and clinical development and commercialization.

In consideration of the exclusive license and rights granted to Loxo under the agreement, Array received shares of Loxo non-voting preferred stock representing an initial 19.9% interest in the newly-formed entity and following additional financings by Loxo, Array's ownership interest in Loxo as of June 30, 2014 was 15.3%. All of the shares of preferred stock held by Array converted into shares of common stock on the closing date of Loxo's IPO, and currently represent less than a 10% ownership interest in Loxo. Array also receives advance payments for preclinical research and other services that Array is providing during the term of the discovery program and is eligible to receive up to $435 million in milestone payments if certain clinical, regulatory and sales milestones are achieved plus royalties on sales of any resulting drugs.

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements, we determined that Array is obligated to deliver three non-contingent deliverables related to the Loxo agreement.  These deliverables are (i) the conduct of the research activities under the discovery program, including related technology transfer (the "research services deliverable"), (ii) an exclusive worldwide license granted to Loxo to certain Array technology and Array's interest in collaboration technology, as well as exclusive worldwide marketing rights (the "license deliverable") and (iii) participation on the JRC. The Loxo agreement provides for no general right of return for any non-contingent deliverable. All of the identified non-contingent deliverables meet the separation criteria; therefore, they are each treated as separate units of accounting. Delivery of the research services and JRC participation obligations will be completed throughout the remainder of the three-year discovery program term. The license deliverable was complete as of September 30, 2013.

Table of Contents


To determine the stand-alone value of the license, we considered our negotiation discussions with Loxo that led to the final terms of the agreement, publicly-available data for similar licensing arrangements between other companies and the economic terms of previous collaborations Array has entered into with other partners. We also considered the estimated valuation of the preferred shares performed by an independent third-party and concluded that this value reasonably approximated the estimated selling price of the related license. We determined a selling price for the research services deliverable using our established annual FTE rate, which represents vendor-specific objective evidence for any FTE costs related to activities to be performed by Array scientists. We determined an estimated selling price for the JRC deliverable by estimating the time required for our scientists to perform their obligations and utilized our established FTE rate for research services as an estimate of what we would bill for this time if we sold this deliverable on a stand-alone basis.

The receipt of the preferred shares was in consideration for the license deliverable. We allocated an amount of consideration under the Loxo agreement to the license deliverable equal to the fair value of the shares received after consideration of the other factors above. We chose the fair value of the shares received as this was a more evident and readily determinable measure as compared to the alternative method for determining the consideration to allocate to the license deliverable, which was the fair value for the exclusive license. The valuation of the preferred shares required the use of significant assumptions and estimates, including assumptions about the estimated volatility of the equity, the estimated time to a liquidity event, and the likelihood of Loxo obtaining additional future financing. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we recognized the full $4.5 million estimated fair value of the preferred shares received in license revenue as delivery of the shares was not contingent upon either the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions.

The remaining consideration under the amended Loxo agreement, which Loxo pays to Array in advance quarterly payments, was allocated between the research services and JRC participation deliverables and will be recognized as the services are rendered throughout the discovery program term. We had deferred revenue balances of $762 thousand and $625 thousand for Loxo at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

The April 2014 amendment added several contingent deliverables related to either increasing the number of FTEs performing research services for Loxo on a monthly basis in exchange for an advance payment, or rights to discontinue research activities for fewer targets in exchange for additional payments to be made to Array. All of the obligations added to the arrangement by the amendment were considered contingent because the likelihood and timing of these deliverables is uncertain and therefore, the potential consideration associated with these obligations was not included in the total allocable consideration.

In July 2014, we began performing additional CMC-related services for Loxo that are agreed to between the parties on a project level basis. Each project may consist of a single deliverable or multiple deliverables and each is evaluated for proper revenue recognition as a multiple-element arrangement when appropriate. A portion of the December 31, 2014 deferred revenue balance relates to these additional CMC services.

The amended Loxo agreement will continue on a country-by-country basis until the termination of the royalty payment obligations, unless terminated earlier by the parties in accordance with its terms. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon the failure of the other party to cure any material breach of its obligations under the agreement, provided that, so long as Loxo is reasonably able to pay its debts as they are due, Array will only be entitled to seek monetary damages, and will not have the right to terminate the amended agreement in the event of Loxo's breach after expiration of the discovery program term. Loxo also has the right to terminate the amended agreement or to terminate discovery research with respect to any targets under development with six months’ notice to Array. If Loxo terminates the amended agreement for convenience, all licenses granted to Loxo will terminate and Array will have all rights to further develop and commercialize the licensed programs. The period of exclusivity to be observed by Array under the amended Loxo agreement will continue as long as Loxo either has an active research and/or development program for a target and the program could result in the receipt of milestones or royalties under the program by Array, or as long as Loxo is commercializing a product for a target under the amended agreement.

Novartis International Pharmaceutical Ltd.
 
Array entered into a License Agreement with Novartis in April 2010, which grants Novartis the exclusive worldwide right to co-develop and commercialize binimetinib, as well as other specified MEK inhibitors. Array will regain these rights and the existing License Agreement will terminate on the effective date of the Binimetinib Agreement following closing of the GSK Transactions, as discussed in Note 3 - Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement. Under the License Agreement, we have elected to conduct further development of binimetinib as a single agent in a Phase 3 trial of patients with low-grade serous ovarian cancer. Novartis is responsible for all other development activities and for the commercialization of products under the agreement, subject to our option to co-detail approved drugs in the U.S.

In consideration for the rights granted to Novartis under the License Agreement, we received $45 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, which was comprised of an up-front fee and a milestone payment. In March 2011, we earned a $10 million milestone payment, which was received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. In June 2013, we earned a $5 million milestone payment, which was received during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We recognized the up-front fee and milestone payments under the License Agreement on a straight-line basis from April 2010 through April 2014. We are eligible to receive up to approximately $408 million in additional aggregate milestone payments if all clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones specified in the License Agreement are achieved for binimetinib. Novartis will also pay us royalties on worldwide sales of any approved drugs. In addition, as long as we continue to co-develop products under the program, the royalty rate on U.S. sales is significantly higher than the rate on sales outside the U.S., as described below under Co-Development Arrangement. Our right to receive potential milestone payments and royalties will terminate on the effective date of the Binimetinib Agreement.

The License Agreement will be in effect on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until no further payments are due with respect to the applicable product in the applicable country, unless terminated earlier, or until the effective date of the Binimetinib Agreement. Either party may terminate the agreement in the event of an uncured material breach of a material obligation under the agreement by the other party upon 90 days' prior notice. Novartis may terminate portions of the agreement following a change in control of Array and may terminate the agreement in its entirety or on a product-by-product basis with 180 days' prior notice. Array and Novartis have each further agreed to indemnify the other party for manufacturing or commercialization activities conducted by it under the agreement, or for negligence, willful misconduct or breach of covenants, warranties or representations made by it under the agreement.

Co-Development Arrangement

The License Agreement also contains co-development rights whereby we can elect to pay a share of the combined total development costs, subject to a maximum amount with annual caps. During the first two years of the co-development period, Novartis reimbursed us for 100% of our development costs. We began to pay our share of the combined development costs that had accrued since inception of the program, with payments to Novartis of $9.2 million and $11.3 million in the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement. During fiscal 2014, we committed to continue our co-development contribution through fiscal 2015. We recorded co-development liabilities of $25.0 million and $16.2 million as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively. We have the right to opt out of paying our share of the combined development costs on an annual basis after fiscal 2015, in which case, the U.S. royalty rate would then be reduced for any such product based on a pre-specified formula, subject to a minimum that equals the royalty rate on sales outside the U.S. Additionally, we would no longer have the right to develop or co-detail such product. The License Agreement, and therefore our co-development liability, will terminate upon the effective date of the Binimetinib Agreement, as discussed above in Note 3 - Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement.

We record a receivable in accounts receivables on the balance sheet for the amounts due from Novartis for the reimbursement of our development costs in excess of the annual cap. We record expense in cost of partnered programs on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss for our share of the combined development costs and accrue these costs on our balance sheet in co-development liability.
    
Our share of the combined development costs was $5.4 million and $5.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $9.8 million during each of the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. We had related receivables of $4.0 million and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and

21

Table of Contents

June 30, 2014, respectively, for the reimbursable development costs we incurred during the respective preceding three-month periods in excess of the annual cap. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Binimetinib Agreement, our co-development liability, and any receivables from Novartis then outstanding under the License Agreement, will be eliminated and costs associated with the ongoing clinical trials for binimetinib will be paid by Novartis for the periods and as provided in the Binimetinib Agreement. See Note 3 - Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement.

Oncothyreon Inc.

License Agreement

Effective December 11, 2014, Array entered into a License Agreement with Oncothyreon Inc. ("Oncothyreon"). Pursuant to the License Agreement, Array has granted Oncothyreon an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize ONT-380 (previously known also as ARRY-380), an orally active, reversible and selective small-molecule HER2 inhibitor. The License Agreement replaces and terminates the prior Development and Commercialization Agreement under which Oncothyreon and Array were jointly developing ONT-380, and going forward, Oncothyreon will be solely responsible for all preclinical and clinical development, regulatory and commercialization activities relating to ONT-380.

Under the terms of the License Agreement, Oncothyreon paid Array a non-refundable, up-front fee of $20 million. In addition, if Oncothyreon sublicenses rights to ONT-380 to a third party, Oncothyreon will pay Array a percentage of any sublicense payments it receives, with the percentage varying according to the stage of development of ONT-380 at the time of the sublicense. If Oncothyreon is acquired within three years of the effective date of the License Agreement, and ONT-380 has not been sublicensed to another entity prior to such acquisition, then the acquirer will be required to make certain milestone payments of up to $280 million to Array, which are primarily based on potential ONT-380 sales. Array is also entitled to receive up to a double-digit royalty based on net sales of ONT-380.

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements, we determined that the exclusive license is the only non-contingent deliverable with stand-alone value under the License Agreement. Array must also expend a nominal amount of effort related to technology transfer, which was completed as of December 31, 2014, but because the technology transfer deliverable does not meet the separation criteria, it was recognized as a combined unit of accounting with the license. Potential payments for a percentage of sublicensing rights, milestone payments and royalties cannot be estimated. Also, at its separate expense Oncothyreon may request additional technology transfer and/or transition services from Array. Due to uncertainty of the likelihood and timing of all of the potential payments and additional services, their consideration is not considered fixed and determinable, therefore no portion of the up-front fee has been allocated to them.

The entire $20 million up-front fee was allocated to the combined license/initial technology transfer unit of accounting, which we recognized in full in license revenue during December 2014.

The License Agreement will expire on a country-by-country basis on the later of 10 years following the first commercial sale of the product in each respective country or expiration of the last to expire patent covering the product in such country, but may be terminated earlier by either party upon material breach of the License Agreement by the other party or the other party’s insolvency, or by Oncothyreon on 180 days' notice to Array. Oncothyreon and Array have also agreed to indemnify the other party for certain of their respective warranties and obligations under the License Agreement.

Development and Commercialization Agreement

Our May 2013 Development and Commercialization Agreement with Oncothyreon was a collaboration to develop and commercialize ONT-380 for the treatment of cancer. This agreement was terminated effective December 11, 2014. Oncothyreon paid Array a one-time up-front fee of $10 million and received a license to ONT-380 enabling it to perform its development activities under this terminated agreement. This up-front fee was allocated to the license deliverable and was recorded as revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Oncothyreon was responsible for conducting the clinical development of ONT-380 through a defined set of proof-of-concept trials and was also responsible for all development costs incurred by or on behalf of either party with respect to these proof-of-concept trials.

Comerica Bank

We entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Comerica Bank dated June 28, 2005, which has been subsequently amended and provides for a $15 million term loan and a revolving line of credit of $6.8 million. The term loan bears interest at a variable rate and we currently have $14.6 million outstanding under the term loan. The revolving line of credit was established to support standby letters of credit in relation to our facilities leases, and has not been drawn upon.

Under the terms of the amended Loan and Security Agreement, the term loan will mature in October 2017 and the revolving line of credit will mature in June 2015. Effective December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the term loan was amended to be equal to the Prime Rate, if the balance of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities maintained at Comerica is greater than or equal to $10 million, or equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% if this balance is less than $10 million. As of December 31, 2014, the term loan with Comerica had an interest rate of 3.25% per annum.

The Loan and Security Agreement requires us to maintain a balance of cash at Comerica that is at least equivalent to our total outstanding obligation under the term loan if our overall balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Comerica and approved outside accounts is less than $22 million. Additionally, we are required to comply with a financial covenant that applies if we draw down on the revolving line of credit. In this event, we must maintain a ratio equal to at least 1.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of each month calculated as follows: (A) total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities less all outstanding obligations to Comerica under the term loan, plus specified percentages of the respective values of eligible accounts, equipment and eligible inventory, divided by (B) the aggregate amount outstanding under the revolving letter of credit sublimit. No amounts are outstanding under the revolving line of credit and we do not expect to make any draws under this facility.

Our obligations under the amended Loan and Security Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets, other than our intellectual property. The amended Loan and Security Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for credit agreements of this type. Our ability to, among other things, sell certain assets, engage in a merger or change in control transaction, incur debt, pay cash dividends and make investments, are restricted by the Loan and Security Agreement as amended. The amended Loan and Security Agreement also contains events of default that are customary for credit agreements of this type, including payment defaults, covenant defaults, insolvency type defaults and events of default relating to liens, judgments, material misrepresentations and the occurrence of certain material adverse events.

We use a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of the Comerica term loan. The fair value was estimated at $14.6 million as of both December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and was classified using Level 2, observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets.

3.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020
 
On June 10, 2013, through a registered underwritten public offering, we issued and sold $132.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the "Notes"), resulting in net proceeds to Array of approximately $128.0 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses.

23

Table of Contents


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

Prior to March 1, 2020, holders may convert the Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events described in a supplemental indenture we 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 our option, shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of shares and cash. The Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 141.8641 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of 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 us to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if there is a qualifying change in control or termination of trading of our common stock.
  
On or after June 4, 2017, we may redeem for cash all or part of the outstanding Notes if the last reported sale price of our 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 we provide the notice of redemption to holders. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. If we were to provide a notice of redemption, the holders could convert their Notes up until the business day immediately preceding the redemption date.

In accordance with ASC Subtopic 470-20, we used an effective interest rate of 10.25% to determine the liability component of the Notes. This resulted in the recognition of $84.2 million as the liability component of the 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 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 Notes. Debt issuance costs of $2.7 million were included in other long-term assets on our balance sheet as of the issuance date. Equity issuance costs of $1.6 million were recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. 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 $2.3 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

The fair value of the Notes was approximately $123.3 million and $132.3 million at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and was determined using Level 2 inputs based on their quoted market values.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Controlled Equity Offering

On March 27, 2013, we entered into a Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor"), pursuant to which we could sell up to $75 million in shares of our common stock from time to time through Cantor, acting as our sales agent, in an at-the-market offering. We completed the sale of all shares available under the Sales Agreement in June 2014. On August 15, 2014, we amended the Sales Agreement with Cantor to allow us to sell up to $47.5 million in additional shares 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. We pay Cantor a commission of approximately 2% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from all sales of our common stock under the Sales Agreement. Unless otherwise terminated, the amended Sales Agreement continues until the earlier of selling all shares available under the Sales Agreement, or March 27, 2016.

NOTE 7 – RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Fiscal 2014 Restructuring

On August 5, 2013, we implemented a 20% reduction in our workforce to support our strategy to fund our development organization with strategic collaborations and to focus our resources to progress our hematology and oncology programs to later stage development. The actions associated with the reductions were substantially completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and, as a result of the reductions, we recorded a one-time restructuring charge of $2.8 million for termination benefits in the same period. Of this charge, $2.2 million was recorded in research and development for proprietary programs and $602 thousand was recorded in general and administrative expense. The restructuring charge is associated with cash payments of $2.6 million and $194 thousand made during the first quarter and second quarter, respectively, of fiscal 2014.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On January 19, 2015, Array entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement (the “Encorafenib Agreement”) with Novartis AG. Under the Encorafenib Agreement, Array and Novartis AG agreed to the terms pursuant to which Array will obtain worldwide development and commercialization rights to encorafenib (LGX818), a BRAF oncology product. At the same time, Array, Novartis AG and Novartis amended the Binimetinib Agreement, as discussed in Note 3 - Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which Array will regain worldwide development and commercialization rights to binimetinib, a MEK oncology product that we had previously licensed to Novartis, in order to reflect transfer of encorafenib rights to Array and not to a third party as originally contemplated.

Novartis AG's divestiture of the encorafenib assets to Array pursuant to the Encorafenib Agreement is contingent upon, and will automatically become effective as of the closing of the GSK Transactions. The Encorafenib Agreement is also subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals.

Subject to the terms thereof, the Encorafenib Agreement requires that Novartis AG transfer or exclusively license to Array all assets, including intellectual property, regulatory filings, technology, inventory, the companion diagnostic partner agreement, and other contract rights, owned by Novartis AG or its affiliates that relate to

encorafenib worldwide. Following the effective date and subject to certain commitments further described below, we will have worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize encorafenib.

On the effective date of the Encorafenib Agreement, Array and Novartis AG will enter into certain ancillary agreements relating to the transfer of the encorafenib assets and the transition of certain ongoing clinical trials and post-closing supply obligations of Novartis. Array and Novartis will also enter into a divestiture commitment agreement pursuant to which Array agrees to obtain an experienced partner for global development and commercialization in the European Economic Area of both binimetinib and encorafenib, as described more fully below.

All other clinical trials involving encorafenib, including the COLUMBUS trial, will continue to be conducted as currently contemplated until completion or transition to Array, with Novartis providing substantial financial support in the form of reimbursement to Array for out-of-pocket costs and for one-half of Array’s fully-burdened FTE costs based on an annual FTE rate in connection with completing the trials. At designated points for each trial, Novartis will transition responsibility and provide this continuing financial support to us for completing the trials.

Novartis will also supply encorafenib for clinical and commercial use for up to 30 months after closing, during which time Novartis will assist us in the technology and manufacturing transfer of encorafenib.  Novartis will also provide Array continued clinical supply of several Novartis pipeline compounds including, but not limited to, LEE011 (CDK 4/6 inhibitor) and BYL719 (α-PI3K inhibitor), for use in currently ongoing combination studies, and possible future studies, including Phase 3 trials, with encorafenib.

Each party has also agreed to indemnify and hold the other party and its affiliates harmless from and against certain liabilities identified in the Encorafenib Agreement. Provided regulatory approval is obtained, the Encorafenib Agreement may be terminated only upon the mutual agreement of Novartis AG and Array or by either Novartis AG or Array if the GSK Transactions are terminated without the consummation thereof. If the Encorafenib Agreement terminates for any reason, the amendment to the Binimetinib Agreement (other than certain financial terms thereof) will terminate and be of no force and effect.

In order to address competition concerns raised by the European Commission, as part of the agreement, we have committed to obtain an experienced partner for global development and European commercialization of both binimetinib and encorafenib acceptable to the European Commission. We have granted a conditional license permitting the licensee to develop encorafenib and binimetinib worldwide and to exclusively commercialize both products in the European Economic Area. If we are unable, in the prescribed time period, to negotiate a collaboration and license agreement with a partner and on terms acceptable to the European Commission, the conditional license will be assigned to a trustee approved by the European Commission, who will thereafter sell the license to a suitable third party for no minimum price.

In addition, we agreed to undertake to obtain certain third party consents or waivers necessary for us to consummate the transactions under the Encorafenib Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about our expectations related to the progress, continuation, timing and success of drug discovery and development activities conducted by Array and by our partners, our ability to obtain additional capital to fund our operations, changes in our research and development spending, realizing new revenue streams and obtaining future out-licensing or collaboration agreements that include up-front, milestone and/or royalty payments, our ability to realize up-front milestone and royalty payments under our existing or any future agreements, future research and development spending and projections relating to the level of cash we expect to use in operations, our working capital requirements and our future headcount requirements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terms. These statements are based on current expectations, projections and assumptions made by management and are not guarantees of future performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, these expectations or any of the forward-looking statements could prove to be incorrect and actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition, as well as any forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to the factors set forth 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, 2014, and in other reports we file with the SEC. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report and, unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our audited financial statements and related notes to those statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, and with the information 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, 2014. The terms “we,” “us,” “our,” "the Company," or "Array" refer to Array BioPharma Inc.

Our fiscal year ends on June 30. When we refer to a fiscal year or quarter, we are referring to the year in which the fiscal year ends and the quarters during that fiscal year. Therefore, fiscal 2015 refers to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015, and the second or current quarter refers to the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

Overview

Array is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted small molecule drugs to treat patients afflicted with cancer. Six Phase 3 studies are currently enrolling patients. These programs include two partnered cancer drugs, selumetinib (AstraZeneca) and binimetinib (MEK162/Novartis)

Our most advanced wholly-owned clinical stage drugs include:
 
 
Proprietary Program
 
Indication
 
Clinical Status
1.
 
Filanesib
 
Kinesin spindle protein, or KSP, inhibitor for multiple myeloma, or MM
 
Phase 2
2.
 
ARRY-797
 
p38 inhibitor for Lamin A/C-related dilated cardiomyopathy, or LMNA-DCM
 
Phase 2

With our progress on filanesib for MM, we believe hematology/oncology is an area of significant opportunities for Array. While we are ready to start a global Phase 3 study comparing Kyprolis plus filanesib to Kyprolis alone in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma, we are delaying the start of patient enrollment until we have clarity on the return of the binimetinib program and the assumption of the encorafinib program. See Note 3 - Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement and Note 9 - Subsequent Event to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information about these agreements and their terms. We continue to progress select other programs, however, and initiated a Phase 2 trial with ARRY-797

in a rare cardiovascular disease, based on scientific rationale, in vivo data and a single-patient investigational new drug, or IND, application. In addition, we have two other wholly-owned clinical stage drugs: ARRY-502 for asthma and ARRY-614 for myelodysplastic syndromes.  We are seeking a partner to advance ARRY-502 and, as we announced in August 2014, we have no plans to invest internally at this time in ARRY-614.

In addition, we have 11 ongoing partner-funded clinical programs, including two MEK inhibitors, which are both in Phase 3 clinical trials, binimetinib with Novartis and selumetinib with AstraZeneca:

(1) As discussed in Note 3 - Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Binimetinib Agreement, this program would again be wholly-owned by Array.

We also have a portfolio of proprietary and partnered preclinical drug discovery programs, including inhibitors that target Trk receptors for the treatment of oncology and other indications. Our most significant discovery collaborations are with Celgene Corporation (inflammation program), Loxo (oncology program/LOXO-101) and Biogen Idec (auto-immune disorder program). We may out-license other select promising candidates through research collaborations in the future.

We have received a total of $669.9 million in research funding and in up-front and milestone payments from partners from inception through December 31, 2014, including $174 million in initial payments from strategic agreements with Amgen, Celgene, Genentech, Novartis and Oncothyreon that we entered into over the last five years. Our existing partnered programs entitle Array to receive a total of over $2 billion in additional milestone payments if we or our partners achieve the drug discovery, development and commercialization objectives detailed in those agreements. We also have the potential to earn royalties on any resulting product sales or share in the proceeds from licensing or commercialization from 13 partnered programs.

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 4 – Collaboration and License Agreements to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our accompanying unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and which requires our 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 our 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.
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, 2014.

License revenue increased primarily because we recognized the entire $20 million up-front fee received from Oncothyreon under the December 2014 License Agreement as license revenue during the current three- and six-month periods. License revenue for the comparable prior three-month period includes $2.5 million recognized under our Novartis collaboration, with the remaining balance representing the amortization of deferred revenue under our Genentech collaboration. License revenue for the comparable prior six-month period primarily includes $5.0 million recognized under our Novartis collaboration and $1.2 million under our Genentech collaboration, as well as $4.5 million of non-cash license revenue recognized under our collaboration with Loxo, as discussed under Note 4 – Collaboration and License Agreements – Loxo Oncology, Inc. to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
We recognized no milestone revenue during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, compared with $5 million earned from AstraZeneca during the prior year three- and six-month periods, $1.3 million and $2.5 million earned from Novartis during the prior year three- and six-month periods, respectively, and $1 million from Genentech during the prior year six-month period.

Collaboration revenue during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 was positively impacted by an increase in the number of scientists working under our collaboration with Loxo, which was expanded in May 2014, resulting in an additional $850 thousand and $1.6 million in collaboration revenue during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. We shortened our estimate of the option term under the July 2013 agreement with Celgene during the three months ended December 31, 2014, which increased the amortization of deferred collaboration revenue during the current three- and six-month periods by $737 thousand and $899 thousand, respectively. Finally, revenue from new collaborations including Biogen in June 2014 and additional chemistry, manufacturing and control, or CMC, activities and other services we performed in the current periods more than offset collaboration revenue recognized in prior periods from other collaborations that have either since terminated or experienced a decline in activities. Biogen contributed collaboration revenue of $1.2 million and $2.3 million to the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, exceeding revenue in both comparable prior year periods related to a previous collaboration that terminated in January 2014, while additional CMC services contributed approximately $700 thousand and $1.3 million to the three and six months ended December 31, 2014. Partially offsetting the above increases in both current year periods was a reduction in revenue related to reimbursable expenses under the Oncothyreon collaboration.

Cost of Partnered Programs
 
Cost of partnered programs represents costs attributable to drug discovery, CMC services and development activities, including preclinical and clinical trials, we may conduct for or with our partners. These costs consist mainly of compensation, associated fringe benefits, share-based compensation, preclinical and clinical outsourcing costs and other collaboration-related costs, including supplies, small tools, travel and meals, facilities, depreciation, recruiting and relocation costs and other direct and indirect chemical handling and laboratory support costs.

Cost of partnered programs was flat during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and increased between the comparable six-month periods. The increase during the current six months was primarily due to our new collaboration with Biogen and our expanded collaboration with Loxo, as well as further advancing binimetinib through clinical trials under our co-development arrangement with Novartis.

Research and Development Expenses for Proprietary Programs
 
Our research and development expenses for proprietary programs include costs associated with our proprietary drug programs for scientific and clinical personnel, supplies, inventory, equipment, small tools, travel and meals, depreciation, consultants, sponsored research, allocated facility costs, costs related to preclinical and clinical trials and share-based compensation. We manage our proprietary programs based on scientific data and achievement of research plan goals. Our scientists record their time to specific projects when possible; however, many activities simultaneously benefit multiple projects and cannot be readily attributed to a specific project. Accordingly, the accurate assignment of time and costs to a specific project is difficult and may not give a true indication of the actual costs of a particular project. As a result, we do not report costs on a program basis.

Research and development expenses for proprietary programs increased during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014. The increases were primarily due to higher costs to advance filanesib in two ongoing Phase 2 clinical studies. These increased expenses were partially offset by a $2.2 million reduction during the current six-month period for termination benefits related to our workforce reduction in August 2013 that were recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2013.

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, accounting, information technology and administration costs, including patent filing and prosecution, recruiting and relocation, consulting and professional services, travel and meals, sales commissions, facilities, depreciation and other office expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have incurred operating losses and an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing research and development spending since inception. As of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $754.1 million. We had net losses of $8.6 million and $36.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and net losses of $85.3 million, $61.9 million, and $23.6 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, our net cash used in operations was $16.8 million. We have historically funded our operations from up-front 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. During the six months ended December 31, 2014 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, we received net proceeds of approximately $30 million and $73 million, respectively, from sales of our common stock under our March 2013 sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald, which we amended in August 2014 to allow additional sales of common stock under the agreement. We also received net proceeds of approximately $128 million in June 2013 from an underwritten public offering of convertible debt and approximately $127 million during calendar year 2012 from two underwritten public offerings of our common stock. Additionally, we have received $230.7 million from up-front fees and license and milestone payments since December 2009, including the following payments:

In December 2009, we received a $60 million up-front payment from Amgen under a Collaboration and License Agreement.
During May and June 2010, we received a total of $45 million in up-front and milestone payments under a License Agreement with Novartis.
In December 2010, we received a $10 million milestone payment under a Drug Discovery and Development Agreement with Celgene.
In May 2011, we received a $10 million milestone payment under a License Agreement with Novartis.
In September 2011, we received a $28 million up-front payment under a Drug Discovery Collaboration Agreement with Genentech.
In June 2012, we received an $8.5 million milestone payment from Amgen under a Collaboration and License Agreement.
In June 2013, we received a $10 million up-front payment under a Development and Commercialization Agreement with Oncothyreon.
In July 2013, we received an $11 million up-front payment under a Drug Discovery and Development Option and License Agreement with Celgene.
In August 2013, we received a $5 million milestone payment under a License Agreement with Novartis.
In November 2013, we received a $5 million milestone payment under a Collaboration and License Agreement with AstraZeneca.
In December 2014, we received a $20 million up-front payment under a License Agreement with Oncothyreon.

We paid $9.2 million and $11.3 million to Novartis in the second quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, respectively, representing our share of the combined development costs incurred and due since commencement of our agreement with Novartis for development of the binimetinib program, as discussed in Note 4 – Collaboration and License Agreements – Novartis International Pharmaceutical Ltd. to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During fiscal 2014, we committed to continue our co-development contribution through fiscal 2015. We have the right to opt out of paying our share of the combined development costs on an annual basis after fiscal 2015. In our accompanying balance sheets, we have $25.0 million recorded as co-development liability for this obligation at December 31, 2014, compared with $16.2 million recorded at June 30, 2014. The License Agreement, and therefore our co-development liability, will terminate upon the effective date of the Binimetinib Agreement, as discussed above in Note 3 - Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We had a $5.4 million liability accrued at June 30, 2014 for estimated fiscal year 2014 annual employee bonuses. Under our annual performance bonus program, employees may receive a bonus payable in cash or in shares of our common stock if we meet certain financial, discovery, development and partnering goals during a fiscal year. Annual employee bonuses are typically paid in the second quarter of the next fiscal year. In October 2014, we paid cash bonuses to our employees approximating the June 30, 2014 balance.

Management believes that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 will enable us to continue to fund operations in the normal course of business for at least the next 12 months. Until we can generate sufficient levels of cash from operations, which we do not expect to achieve in the next two years, and because sufficient funds may not be available to us when needed from existing collaborations, we expect that we will be required to continue to fund our operations in part through the sale of debt or equity securities, through licensing select programs, or partial economic rights to those programs, that include up-front, royalty and/or milestone payments.

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 and, even if we are successful, future equity

issuances would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We also may not successfully consummate new collaboration or license agreements that provide for up-front 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 up-front fees and milestone or royalty payments is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.

Our risk factors are described 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, 2014, and in other reports we file with the SEC.
 
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 involve 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, 2014, and in other reports we file with the SEC.

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, it may be necessary to significantly reduce our current rate of spending through further reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back or stopping certain research and development programs, including more costly Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials on our wholly-owned programs as these programs progress into later stage development. 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 up-front 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 5 Long-term Debt to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, if at any time our balance of total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Comerica Bank and approved outside accounts falls below $22 million, we must maintain a balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at Comerica at least equivalent to the entire outstanding debt balance with Comerica, which is currently $14.6 million. We must also maintain a monthly liquidity ratio if we draw down on the revolving line of credit.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

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 primarily of U.S. government agency obligations with maturities of greater than 90 days when purchased. Following the initial public offering of Loxo in August 2014 and the conversion of our Loxo preferred shares into common shares of Loxo, we began recording the estimated value of our investment in Loxo's common stock as short-term marketable securities. See Note 2 - Marketable Securities to our financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for more information about our accounting treatment for the Loxo common shares. Long-term marketable securities are primarily securities held under our deferred compensation plan.

Net cash used in operating activities improved by $17.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2014. The timing of both our payments to Novartis and the receipt of reimbursable expenses from Novartis under our License Agreement are primarily responsible for the improvement in our operating cash flows during the current period. We paid Novartis $11.3 million in October 2013, while in the current year, due to the Binimetinib Agreement and the potential termination of the existing License Agreement as discussed in Note 3 - Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not made a similar payment. Additionally, we received a reimbursement for costs incurred from Novartis during the current six-month period, but did not receive a similar payment during the same period of the prior year.
 
Net cash used in investing activities declined $10.8 million between the current and prior year six-month periods. We used $11.8 million less cash during the six months ended December 31, 2014, related to our net investment activity in marketable securities. Our lower investment activity was offset partially by increased capital expenditures of $995 thousand in the current six-month period compared with the same period of the prior year, which were primarily related to lab equipment and internally-developed software, including our new ERP system.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $15.3 million. We sold fewer shares of our common stock at a lower average price under our sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald during the current period, compared with the same period of the prior year, resulting in $13.8 million less cash from financing activities. Additionally, we received approximately $1.5 million less from employee stock option exercises and stock purchases under the employee stock purchase plan during the current period compared with the prior six-month period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU No. 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method, nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

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. As a result, historically and as of December 31, 2014, we have had little or no exposure to market risk from changes in foreign currency or exchange rates.

Our investment in Loxo common shares is subject to certain restrictions on transfer. As a result, we applied a marketability discount in determining the estimated value of these shares, as described in Note 2 - Marketable Securities to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, resulting in an estimated fair value of $18.0 million for the Loxo common shares as of December 31, 2014. Our investment in Loxo will be revalued on each balance sheet date, with any unrealized gains or losses recorded as

35

Table of Contents

a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' deficit section of our balance sheets.

Our investment in Loxo is subject to market price volatility. Fluctuations in the market price of publicly-traded equity securities may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, general market conditions and other factors. The trading price of Loxo's common shares has varied by as much as 25% since the initial public offering. A 10% increase or decrease in the fair value of our investment in Loxo at December 31, 2014, would result in an increase or decrease to the fair value of the investment of approximately $1.8 million. Because the market price for this investment is subject to ongoing fluctuation, the amount we may eventually realize from a subsequent sale of the investment may differ significantly from the reported amount. This hypothetical increase or decrease will likely be different from what actually occurs in the future, and the impact may differ from that quantified herein.

The remainder of 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 and liquidity. 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 December 31, 2014, we would expect future interest income to increase or decrease by approximately $552 thousand over the next 12 months based on the current balance of $55.2 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 Comerica of $14.6 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 3.25% on the Comerica debt as of December 31, 2014, would result in a change in our annual interest expense of $146 thousand.

Historically, and as of December 31, 2014, 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 December 31, 2014, 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 December 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risk factors described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, and in other reports we file with the SEC. There have been no changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 that we believe are material, other than as set forth below. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may negatively impact our business.

The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Novartis Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement relating to binimetinib and the Novartis Asset Transfer Agreement relating to encorafenib are subject to closing conditions that are beyond our control, and we may therefore not regain rights to binimetinib or obtain rights to encorafenib, which could negatively affect our stock price and our results of operations and cash flows.

On November 26, 2014, Array entered into a Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement, or the Binimetinib Agreement, with Novartis Pharmaceutical International Ltd., or Novartis, and Novartis Pharma AG, or Novartis AG. Under the Binimetinib Agreement, Array, Novartis AG and Novartis agreed to the terms pursuant to which Array will regain all development and commercialization rights to binimetinib, a MEK oncology program that we had previously licensed to Novartis under a License Agreement dated April 19, 2010. When the transactions contemplated by the Binimetinib Agreement become effective, the existing License Agreement will terminate.

On January 19, 2015, Array entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement, or the Encorafenib Agreement, with Novartis AG. Under the Encorafenib Agreement, Array and Novartis AG agreed to the terms pursuant to which Array will obtain worldwide development and commercialization rights to encorafenib (LGX818), a BRAF oncology product.

Novartis’ divestiture of the binimetinib assets to Array and the termination of the existing License Agreement pursuant to the Binimetinib Agreement and Novartis AG's related divestiture of the encorafenib assets to Array pursuant to the Encorafenib Agreement are contingent upon, and will automatically become effective as of the closing of the transactions between Novartis AG and GlaxoSmithKline PLC, referred to as the GSK Transactions, announced on April 22, 2014. The closing of the GSK Transactions is subject to a number of conditions that are beyond the control of Array, and such conditions may not be satisfied and the divestiture of the binimetinib assets and the encorafenib assets may not occur. The Binimetinib Agreement and the Encorafenib Agreement are also subject to certain regulatory approvals, which may not be obtained. Array believes that binimetinib and encorafenib represent promising late stage assets that could contribute to the value of Array's portfolio of wholly-owned programs. Therefore, if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Binimetinib Agreement and the Encorafenib Agreement do not occur, Array will not regain or obtain development and commercialization rights to these programs, which could harm Array's stock price. Further, if the closing does not occur, Array will not receive an anticipated up-front fee of $85 million payable under the Binimetinib Agreement or funding for ongoing clinical trials and will be required to continue to fund its portion of the co-development costs under the existing License Agreement. This could negatively affect Array's results of operations and cash flows.

If Array is unable to obtain a suitable partner for global development and European commercialization rights to binimetinib and encorafenib, the European Commission may license such rights to a partner it locates on terms that may be less favorable to Array than those Array might have obtained had it partnered such rights.

In order to address competition concerns raised by the European Commission, Array agreed to obtain a partner for global development and European commercialization rights for both binimetinib and encorafenib acceptable to

37

Table of Contents

the European Commission. As part of the Encorafenib Agreement, we have granted a conditional license permitting the licensee to develop encorafenib and binimetinib worldwide and to exclusively commercialize both products in the European Economic Area. If we are unable, in the prescribed time period, to negotiate a collaboration and license agreement with a partner and on terms acceptable to the European Commission, the conditional license will be assigned to a trustee approved by the European Commission, who will thereafter sell the license to a suitable third party for no minimum price. The terms of such license could be less favorable to Array than the terms Array could have obtained had it licensed such rights directly to a third party.
