Report For: Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve pushed back its plans to raise its benchmark short-term interest rate, a widely expected move following a series of mixed US economic reports.

After a two-day policy meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee unanimously voted to hold the federal funds rate between 0.25% and 0.50%, citing weakness in recent employment data.

“[T]he pace of improvement in the labor market has slowed while growth in economic activity appears to have picked up. Although the unemployment rate has declined, job gains have diminished,” the central bank wrote in its statement.

For the second time, the Fed withheld mention of global economic risks and provided no assessment of the balance of risks, implying that officials are still keeping their options open for a rate hike this summer, but uncertainty and headwinds abroad could arise.

The cautious stance comes after an unexpectedly weak payrolls report in which the US economy added only 38,000 jobs in May, the lowest level in six years. Other employment data has been varied. The hiring rate slowed in April, but jobless claims are near record lows. Fed officials have said that they are waiting for more data before placing weight on the May employment numbers.

Meanwhile, inflation, which has run below the Fed’s 2% target for four years, has shown signs of strength in recent months, as oil prices and the dollar stabilized. The Fed’s preferred measure of price inflation, the personal consumption expenditures index, increased 1.1% in April from the year before, as core inflation rose 1.6%. However, measures of future inflation expectations have weakened, and the Fed sees inflation remaining “low in the near term.”

The Fed’s expectations for short-term GDP growth dropped to 2%, while forecasts for unemployment remained mostly unchanged, and the outlook for core inflation increased to 1.9% by 2017.

Fed officials’ projections for the federal funds rate dropped, indicating one to two quarter-point increases this year, rather than the four hikes envisioned in December. Shortly after the Fed began raising rates in December—for the first time in over a decade—turmoil in US markets and uncertainty abroad convinced many officials to delay further rate increases.

Long run expectations for the fed funds rate also declined to 3% from 3.3% in March.

The next decision to raise rates will “come down to the data and the markets,” said Jim O’Sullivan, chief US economist at High Frequency Economics. “We will get one more employment report before the July meeting…If the economic data is strong enough, they’ll raise rates in the next few months.”

Market expectations for a September rate hike are 24%, with the majority of traders forecasting at least one rate hike by the end of the year.

Report For: Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEGR)

About Aegerion
Aegerion Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for patients with debilitating rare diseases.

About QLT
QLT is a biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialization of innovative ocular products that address the unmet medical needs of patients and clinicians worldwide. They are focused on developing our synthetic retinoid program for the treatment of certain inherited retinal diseases.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 15, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AEGR) (“Aegerion”) and QLT Inc. (QLTI) (QLT.TO) (“QLT”) today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Aegerion will be merged with a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of QLT. Upon completion of the proposed merger, each outstanding share of Aegerion common stock will be exchanged for 1.0256 shares of QLT common stock. QLT plans to change its name upon the closing of the proposed transaction to Novelion Therapeutics Inc. (“Novelion”) and its common shares will trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange.

A broad-based investor syndicate comprised of both new investors and existing shareholders of both companies (collectively, the “Investors”) has committed to invest approximately $22 million in QLT and to vote in favor of the proposed transaction. This investment would be funded immediately prior to the transaction close and is expected to provide Novelion with additional capital to support future operations and the potential opportunity for targeted business development initiatives. Assuming completion of the proposed merger by the end of the third quarter of 2016, Novelion is expected to have an unrestricted cash balance of over $100 million.

The proposed transaction, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, is expected to close late in the third quarter or during the fourth quarter of 2016, subject to approval by shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding common stock of each of QLT and Aegerion as well as other closing conditions.

Strategic Merger Designed to Transform Both Companies and Create Significant Value for Shareholders

The proposed merger is expected to create a strong, rare disease-focused global biopharmaceutical company with a diversified portfolio consisting of Aegerion’s two commercially branded products, Juxtapid® (lomitapide) capsules and Myalept® (metreleptin), and QLT’s QLT091001 (“Zuretinol Acetate” or “Zuretinol”), a Phase 3-ready Ultra-Orphan Fast Track and Orphan Drug designated asset being developed for the treatment of Inherited Retinal Disease caused by underlying mutations in RPE65 or LRAT genes (“IRD”), which indication comprises Leber Congenital Amaurosis (“LCA”) and Retinitis Pigmentosa (“RP”).

Aegerion’s Chief Executive Officer, Mary Szela, who will serve as Chief Executive Officer of Novelion following the close of the transaction, said: “We believe QLT’s clinical development team, and meaningful cash position, and Aegerion’s commercialization expertise will help unlock significant value in QLT’s Zuretinol asset and enable Novelion to pursue important milestones across a commercial and late-stage portfolio, including potential regulatory approval in Japan for Juxtapid and potential regulatory filings in Europe for Myalept. I believe that this proposed merger represents a fresh start and an opportunity to create significant value, and I look forward to driving our programs forward.”

Dr. Geoffrey F. Cox, Ph.D., QLT’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, said: “Given the resource requirements for QLT to build out a global commercial infrastructure designed to most effectively maximize the value of our promising ultra-orphan Zuretinol asset, the QLT board determined that it would be advantageous to join forces with a strategic partner possessing the relevant orphan product infrastructure. We believe Aegerion and QLT are ideal complements, and we are confident that this transaction achieves virtually all of the principal goals and objectives of our strategic review process. In addition, QLT is expected to benefit from greater scale and diversification, as well as from a more liquid stock.”

QLT’s Promising Ultra-Orphan Pipeline Product (Zuretinol acetate)

QLT is developing a synthetic retinoid product candidate (Zuretinol acetate) for the potential treatment of Inherited Retinal Disease caused by underlying mutations in RPE65 or LRAT genes (IRD) that prevent adequate functioning of the retinoid cycle, which indication comprises LCA and RP. LCA and RP are two forms of severe IRD resulting in progressive vision loss starting in childhood and leading to inevitable blindness.

There are currently no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approved pharmacologic treatments for either LCA or RP, underscoring the significant unmet medical need. Zuretinol acetate is expected to advance to Phase 3 clinical trials in the third quarter of 2016 and has Orphan Drug designation from both FDA and EMA, as well as FDA Fast Track designation. As an oral product, Zuretinol acetate is being studied for its potential to treat the retinas of both eyes simultaneously. If approved, QLT believes it is possible to achieve first-line positioning in the treatment of IRD.

Private Placement

In combination with the proposed merger transaction, a broad-based investor syndicate will subscribe to purchase approximately $22 million in shares of QLT common stock for a purchase price of $1.76 per share is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the merger. These commitments would be funded immediately prior to merger closing to provide Novelion additional capital to support future operations and the potential opportunity for targeted business development initiatives.

The investor syndicate includes new investors, including Deerfield, and a broad group of existing Aegerion and QLT shareholders, including Armistice Capital, Broadfin Capital, Healthcare Value Capital, JW Asset Management, K2 & Associates Investment Management, Sarissa Capital, Tiger Legatus Capital Management, and others.

The subscription by the Investors to purchase shares of QLT common stock is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the merger. Each of the Investors has also agreed to vote its shares in QLT and Aegerion in favor of the transaction.

Corporate Governance

Following the close of the transaction, Novelion is expected to have its principal headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia, where QLT is currently located, with business operations in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The Board of Directors of Novelion will be comprised of ten members, including four QLT designees, four Aegerion designees and two shareholder representatives, one from Broadfin Capital and the other from Sarissa Capital. For a period of time that expires shortly after Novelion’s 2017 annual shareholder meeting, Sarissa Capital also has the right to designate an additional director to the Novelion Board.

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Aegerion will become a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of QLT, and each existing share of Aegerion common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.0256 common shares of Novelion. As a result of the structure of this transaction, a repayment obligation with respect to Aegerion’s outstanding convertible notes will not be triggered.

The exchange ratio for the transaction is subject to certain adjustments if Aegerion’s previously disclosed securities class action litigation and Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) investigations are resolved prior to closing for amounts in excess of negotiated thresholds. In the event the class action litigation or DOJ and SEC investigations are not settled prior to closing, and in order to mitigate the risk of certain losses from these outstanding matters after transaction close, QLT will enter into a warrant agreement pursuant to which warrants will be issued to QLT shareholders and the Investors that would be exercisable for additional Novelion shares if the class action litigation or DOJ and SEC investigations are subsequently resolved for amounts in excess of negotiated thresholds.

Following completion of the proposed merger, QLT shareholders, including the Investors, who are investing in QLT immediately prior to closing, are expected to own approximately 67% and current Aegerion shareholders will own approximately 33% of Novelion’s common shares.

Concurrent with signing, Aegerion and QLT have entered into a loan agreement under which QLT has agreed to loan Aegerion up to $15 million for working capital. Aegerion will borrow $3 million in connection with execution of the Merger Agreement and may borrow up to $3 million per month in subsequent months, subject to certain conditions, if and to the extent such amounts are necessary in order for Aegerion to maintain an unrestricted cash balance of $25 million.

In addition to shareholder approval, the merger is subject to stock exchange approvals and other closing conditions, including, among others, regulatory approval and completion of a specified minimum of the private placement in QLT by the Investors.

Report For:  AT&T, Inc. (NYSE: T)

AT&T, along with other Internet Service Providers have been embroiled in lawsuits with the FCC in an attempt to slow down the Internet to some customers so they can offer a multi-tiered Internet speed service to consumers at multi-tiered pricing. Yesterday the FCC and internet consumers scored a win.

A critical court ruling on Tuesday upheld long-contested rules that stop your internet provider from blocking or slowing sites — ”net neutrality,” in fewer words.

The ruling by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit upholding the Federal Communications Commission’s net-neutrality rules is a weighty read, but for Big Telecom it boils down to eight words: You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!

This means the FCC’s regulations stopping your internet provider and wireless carrier from blocking or slowing your access to a legal site, service, or app — or charging one for priority delivery — live on.

The argument over net neutrality does, too. But the odds of winning it got a lot worse for opponents of the FCC’s regulations and the general idea of stopping your internet providers from tampering with your connection to the online world.

Your ISP can still charge more for faster downloads, impose data caps and maybe even exempt some services from those limits. But first it must give you the internet, the whole internet and nothing but the internet. And on the other end of the connection, some new online startup doesn’t have to worry about being asked to pay extra to reach you.
How we got here

The conclusion of the 115-page ruling by Judges David S. Tatel and Sri Srinivasan in United States Telecom Association, et al., v. Federal Communications Commission shouldn’t have surprised anybody who read the same court’s January 2014 opinion that rejected earlier, weaker net-neutrality rules.

In that case brought by Verizon (VZ), the court essentially said that if the commission wanted to regulate internet providers as “common carriers” — a legal status that’s long governed telephone utilities but also railroads and taxis — it had to label them accordingly.

Which, in turn, would require the FCC to hit the Undo button on decisions a decade earlier to classify broadband providers as “information services,” not the simpler definition of “telecommunications services” that happens to match the usual understanding of what ISPs do — connect you to the internet.

After a prolonged public outcry over the possibility of the FCC caving — remember comedian John Oliver comparing FCC chair Tom Wheeler to a dingo? — the commission took the court’s hint. In February of 2015, it put wired and wireless broadband providers back in the utility-esque common-carrier bucket and then adopted net-neutrality rules.

Various telecom companies and organizations promptly sued to overturn those rules, and we now have the court’s word.

(Disclosure: I’ve spoken at events hosted by organizations on both sides of this argument; for about a year I wrote for a tech-policy blog, the Disruptive Competition Project, sponsored by the Computer & Communications Industry Association, which filed a brief backing the FCC.)

Two words: dumb pipes

This 2-1 ruling (Tatel and Srinivasan’s colleague Judge Stephen F. Williams filed a dissent) focuses on the difference between “information” and “telecommunications” services as defined in the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

The former most closely describes AOL and other pioneering online services, which bundled not just a connection but software and services.

The latter matches today’s internet access, where you pay for the connection and then go to other sites — like, perhaps, today’s Aol, a division of Verizon that runs sites like Engadget and TechCrunch (and tends to a dwindling audience of dial-up users).

Internet providers may not appreciate being defined as “dumb pipes,” but the definition fits. They haven’t seriously tried to offer something like an “information service” since the 2001 demise of cable service Excite@Home.

How can the FCC make that call? Because, the judges wrote, the Supreme Court said so in a 2005 case. That might not matter had Congress since labeled ISPs as information services — but it hasn’t. And a 1984 Supreme Court ruling lets regulatory agencies like the FCC make their own reasoned calls in the absence of Congressional direction.

Good luck overturning this

One party to the just-decided lawsuit, AT&T (T), is already vowing to appeal this case to the Supreme Court, while others have not gone beyond moping about its unfairness.

Continuing this strategy of relentless litigation might not be smart. The court’s ruling stands on those two Supreme Court precedents — and Williams’ dissent accepts that the FCC worked within the outlines of the Telecommunications Act, while then faulting its logic.

Besides, appealing to the highest court in the land would mean a few more years of net-neutrality rules remaining intact.

While Congress could technically vote tomorrow to revise the Telecommunications Act, t hasn’t been able to do any such rewrite in over 20 years.

To be sure, an anti-net-neutrality candidate — namely, Donald Trump — could win the 2016 presidential election and then appoint FCC commissioners who would axe the net-neutrality rules.

But while Trump opposes it — he called it a “top down power grab” in a 2014 tweet — he’s also widely loathed outside his Republican primary base.

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, applauded the ruling in a tweet that called it “a big win for consumers, innovation, and freedom of expression on the internet.”

But the larger problem here is that fighting net neutrality looks like a political loser.

It requires believing promises of future online media services that couldn’t survive without paid prioritization over a documented history of large internet providers demanding that real online media services like Netflix pay for the data used by their own customers.

(Internet providers may yet all wind up giving up on improving their services because net neutrality eats into their profits, but the evidence for that remains thin.)

Net neutrality often comes with a side order of shrill extremism denouncing it as “regulating the Internet” — even though it doesn’t limit what you do on the Internet — if not outright Marxism.

And it not only requires taking the side of giant corporations, it demands standing up for cable and phone companies in particular, some of the less-liked firms in America. Are 2016’s candidates ready to nail their colors to the mast for all that? If so, I have two more words: good luck.
