ARRAY BIOPHARMA INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements



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

Organization

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

Basis of Presentation

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

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 19, 2016, from which the Company derived its balance sheet data as of June 30, 2016.

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

Use of Estimates

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

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

Liquidity

With the exception of the 2015 fiscal year, the Company has incurred operating losses and an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing research and development spending since inception. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $853.3 million and it had net losses of $23.3 million and $51.9 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company had a net loss of $92.8 million for the fiscal

Table of Contents

year ended June 30, 2016. The Company had net income of $9.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of an $80.0 million net gain related to the return of rights to binimetinib and our acquisition of rights to encorafenib, as well as $16.3 million of realized gains from the sale of marketable securities. The Company had a net loss of $85.3 million the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

The Company has historically funded its operations from upfront fees, proceeds from research and development reimbursement arrangements, and license and milestone payments received under its drug collaborations and license agreements, the sale of equity securities, and debt provided by convertible debt and other credit facilities. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable as of December 31, 2016 will enable it to continue to fund operations in the normal course of business for at least the next 12 months. Until the Company can generate sufficient levels of cash from operations, which it does not expect to achieve in the next two years, and because sufficient funds may not be available to it when needed from existing collaborations, the Company expects that it will be required to continue to fund its operations in part through the sale of debt or equity securities, and through licensing select programs or partial economic rights that include upfront, royalty and/or milestone payments.

On October 3, 2016, Array closed an underwritten public offering of 21.2 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $6.25 per share. The total net proceeds from the offering were $124.2 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company also sells shares of its common stock to the public from time to time in an at-the-market offering under a Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has received net proceeds totaling $135.3 million since September 2013 under the Sales Agreement, and the Company may sell up to $59.7 million in additional shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald. The Company's ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through the sale of debt or equity securities or from debt financing from lenders when needed is subject to many risks and uncertainties and, even if it were successful, future equity issuances would result in dilution to its existing stockholders. The Company also may not successfully consummate new collaboration and license agreements that provide for upfront fees or milestone payments, or the Company may not earn milestone payments under such agreements when anticipated, or at all. The Company's ability to realize milestone or royalty payments under existing agreements and to enter into new arrangements that generate additional revenue through upfront fees and milestone or royalty payments is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond the Company's control.

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

If the Company is unable to generate enough revenue from its existing or new collaboration and license agreements when needed or to secure additional sources of funding and receive related full and timely collections of amounts due, it may be necessary to significantly reduce the current rate of spending through reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back, or stopping certain research and development programs, including more costly late phase clinical trials on its wholly-owned programs. Insufficient liquidity may also require the Company to relinquish greater rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms to the Company and its stockholders than the Company would otherwise choose in order to obtain upfront license fees needed to fund operations. These events could prevent the Company from successfully executing its operating plan and, in the future, could raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Further, as discussed in Note 4 – Debt, the Company is required to maintain a balance of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at Silicon Valley Bank plus eligible accounts of at least two times the entire outstanding debt balance with Silicon Valley Bank, which is currently $15.0 million. The Company must also maintain a monthly liquidity ratio for the revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank if it draws from the line of credit, which it has not done as of December 31, 2016.

The loss of one or more of the Company's significant partners or collaborators could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results or financial condition. Although the Company is impacted by economic conditions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors, management does not believe significant credit risk exists as of December 31, 2016.

Accounts Receivable

Novartis accounted for 65% and 85% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Largely as the result of milestone payments, Loxo accounted for 23% and 7% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's other significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Equity Investments

Prior to September 30, 2016, the shares of preferred stock of VentiRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("VentiRx") that the Company received under a February 2007 collaboration and licensing agreement with VentiRx had a recorded cost of $1.5 million. The Company did not have a controlling interest nor does it exert significant influence over VentiRx.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a triggering event occurred related to the underlying viability of the investment, which caused the Company to record a $1.5 million impairment loss related to this investment at that time.

Fair Value Measurements

We follow accounting guidance on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured at fair value 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: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.Estimated fair values of financial instruments classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, where 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.

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.

Fair Value Option

As described further in Note 4 - Debt - Notes Payable, in September 2016, the Company issued Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes to Redmile Capital Offshore Fund II, Ltd. and Redmile Biopharma Investments I, L.P. in the aggregate original principal amount of $10.0 million. The Company has elected the fair value option to account for these notes due to the complexity and number of embedded features. Accordingly, the Company records these notes at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the notes were recognized in earnings (as line item "change in fair value of notes payable") as incurred and were not deferred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The FASB has subsequently issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing to address issues arising from implementation of the new revenue recognition standard. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-10 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning July 1, 2018, and may be adopted earlier, but not before July 1, 2017. The revenue standards are required to be adopted by taking either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial statements and determining the transition method, including the period of adoption, that we will apply.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern, which defines management's responsibility to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and requires related footnote disclosures if there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for Array for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2017, and for annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2014-15 on its financial

statements and related disclosures.

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

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

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendment is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim reporting periods within those reporting periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 to have a material effect on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). The amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 requires that companies record expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and also requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses when estimated credit losses declines. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be available for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the impact that ASU 2016-03 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

Notes Payable

On September 2, 2016, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Redmile Capital Offshore Fund II, Ltd. and Redmile Biopharma Investments I, L.P. (collectively, “Redmile”) pursuant to which the Company issued to Redmile Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate original principal amount of $10.0 million. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum and, unless converted or otherwise repaid or satisfied as described below, the principal amount and all accrued interest thereon plus an aggregate exit fee of $3.0 million (the “Repayment Amount”) is due and payable on September 1, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). If an event of default specified under the Notes occurs, the Note holders may declare the Repayment Amount, and any other amounts payable under the Notes, immediately due and payable.
 
Conversion of the Notes
 
The Notes contemplate that, solely at the Company’s choice, the Company may elect to form a subsidiary (the “797 Subsidiary”) and contribute certain assets and rights relating to its drug ARRY-797 in exchange for all of the outstanding equity of such 797 Subsidiary. In such event, and if a preferred stock financing of the 797 Subsidiary of at least $10.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds (excluding conversion of the Note) to bona fide institutional investors other than the Note holders (a “Qualified Financing”) closes prior to the Maturity Date, then all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Notes shall convert automatically into the shares of capital stock issued in the Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (A) 80% of the purchase price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing if the closing of the Qualified Financing occurs on or prior to March 1, 2017, or 70% of the purchase price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing if the closing of the Qualified Financing occurs after March 1, 2017, and (B) the price per share calculated in the same manner as the price per share of equity securities sold in the Qualified Financing, but instead based on a pre-money valuation of the 797 Subsidiary of $75.0 million.

If the Company has not formed the 797 Subsidiary by the Maturity Date or, if a 797 Subsidiary was formed and a Qualified Financing has not closed on or prior to the Maturity Date, then the Company shall have the right to convert, on the Maturity Date, the Repayment Amount into shares of a newly established series of the Company's preferred stock, to be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at a conversion price equal to the average daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The shares issued upon any such conversion shall be subject to an aggregate cap equal to 19.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, on an as-converted basis, on the Maturity Date.
 
Other Repayment Provisions
 
If, solely at the Company’s choice, prior to the closing of a Qualified Financing or other conversion or repayment or other satisfaction in full of the Notes, the Company sells or transfers substantially all of the assets and rights relating to ARRY-797 to a third party other than the holders of the Notes or any of its affiliates (a “797 Sale”), then upon the closing of such 797 Sale and in full satisfaction of the Notes, the Company is required to pay to the Note holders an

15

Table of Contents

amount equal to the greater in the aggregate of (i) $20.0 million or (ii) 15% of the fair market value of the consideration actually paid to the Company or the 797 Subsidiary (or any of their respective affiliates or stockholders) in the 797 Sale, subject to an aggregate $100.0 million cap.

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

Due to the complexity and number of embedded features within the Notes and as permitted under accounting guidance, the Company elected to account for the Notes and all the embedded features under the fair value option. The Company recognizes the Notes at fair value rather than at historical cost, with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of operations. Direct costs and fees incurred to issue the Notes were recognized in earnings as incurred and were not deferred. On the initial measurement date of September 2, 2016, the fair value of the Notes was estimated at $10.0 million. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected was $0.2 million and was recorded as a component of other expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Notes was $10.8 million. For more information on the fair value determination of the Notes, see Note 5 - Redmile Notes.

Comerica Term Loan

Effective December 22, 2016, the Company terminated the Loan and Security Agreement with Comerica Bank dated June 28, 2005 and repaid in full the $15.0 million term loan, of which $14.6 million was outstanding, and terminated the standby letter of credit issued under the revolving line of credit of $2.8 million which had not been drawn down. In connection with the termination of the Loan and Security Agreement, Comerica Bank released all liens it held on the Company's assets.

Silicon Valley Bank Term Loan

On December 22, 2016 the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) providing for a term loan in the original principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Term Loan Amount”) and a revolving line of credit of up to $5.0 million (“Revolving Line”). The Company may request advances under the revolving line of credit, which may be repaid and reborrowed, or utilize the line of credit for the issuance of letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts or other cash management services. The Company utilized $14.6 million of the proceeds from the term loan to repay in full its outstanding obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement dated June 28, 2005, as amended, with Comerica Bank. The entire Term Loan Amount was loaned on the Effective Date, and the Company has obtained a letter of credit in the amount of $2.8 million to secure the Company's obligations under its lease agreement for its Boulder, Colorado facilities. The cost of the term loan approximates it's fair value.
The outstanding principal amount under the term loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate minus 2.00% (but not less than 0.00%) and the principal amount of any advances outstanding under the revolving line bear interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate. The Company must make monthly payments of interest under the term loan commencing January 1, 2017 until maturity and, commencing on January 1, 2019 and monthly thereafter, the Company must also make payments of principal under the term loan based on a 36-month amortization schedule. Payments of accrued interest on any advances outstanding under the revolving line of credit are payable monthly. A final payment of accrued interest and principal due on the term loan and on any outstanding advances is due on the maturity date of December 1, 2021.
The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line commitment fee of $50 thousand, payable in five equal installments from the Effective Date and an unusued revolving line facility fee equal to 0.20% per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line. Upon repayment or acceleration of the term loan, a final payment fee equal to 8.00% of the Term Loan Amount is payable. The final payment fee is being recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the loan. If the term loan is prepaid or accelerated prior to the maturity date, the Company must also pay a fee equal to (i) 2.00% of the Term Loan Amount if such prepayment or acceleration occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) 1.00% of the Term Loan Amount if such prepayment or acceleration occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Date. If the revolving line is terminated prior to the maturity date for any reason, the Company must pay a termination fee equal to (i) 2.00% of the Revolving Line if such termination occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) 1.00% of the Revolving Line if such termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Date.
The Company granted SVB a first priority security interest in all assets other than its intellectual property, provided that accounts and proceeds of the Company’s intellectual property constitutes collateral and the Company has agreed not to encumber its intellectual property without SVB’s consent. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including restrictions on changes in control of the Company, the incurrance of additional indebtedness, future encumbrances on Array’s assets, the payment of dividends or distributions on the Company’s common stock and the sale, lease, transfer or disposition of Binimetinib and Encorafenib outside of certain markets if the Company’s cash and cash equivalents maintained with SVB fall below certain levels. In addition, the Company must maintain a liquidity ratio, defined as (i) the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents maintained at SVB or its affiliates plus eligible accounts divided by (ii) all outstanding obligations owed to SVB, of at least 2.00 to 1.00, measured monthly.
Upon an event of default under the Loan Agreement, SVB is entitled to accelerate and demand payment of all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, including payment of all applicable termination and prepayment fees, demand that the Company deposit at least 105% of the face amount of any letters of credit remaining undrawn to secure all obligations thereunder, and exercise other remedies available to SVB under the Loan Agreement and at law or in equity.

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

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

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

In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company used an effective interest rate of 10.25% to determine the liability component of the Convertible Notes. This resulted in the recognition of $84.2 million as the liability component of the Convertible Notes and the recognition of the residual $48.0 million as the debt discount with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital for the equity component of the Convertible Notes. The underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses of $4.3 million were allocated between the debt and equity issuance costs in proportion to the allocation of the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes. Equity issuance costs of $1.6 million were recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. Total debt issuance costs of $2.7 million were recorded on the issuance date, and are reflected in the Company's balance sheets for all periods presented on a consistent basis with the debt discount, or as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The debt discount and debt issuance costs will be amortized as non-cash interest expense through June 1, 2020. The balance of unamortized debt issuance costs was $1.6 million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $183.9 million and $110.2 million at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and was determined using Level 2 inputs based on their quoted market values.

Redmile Notes

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

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

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

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

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Common Stock Offering
On October 3, 2016, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 21.2 million shares of its common stock, which included 2.8 million shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters in the offering. The shares were sold to the public at an offering price of $6.25 per share. The total net proceeds from the offering were $124.2 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund research and development efforts, including clinical trials for its proprietary candidates, and for general corporate purposes.

At-the-Market Equity Offering

The Company has entered into a Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor") dated March 27, 2013, which has been subsequently amended to permit the sale by Cantor, acting as its sales agent, of up to $75.0 million in additional shares of the Company's common stock from time to time in an at-the-market offering under the Sales Agreement. All sales of shares have been and will continue to be made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC. The Company pays Cantor a commission of approximately 2% of the aggregate gross proceeds the Company receives from all sales of the Company's common stock under the Sales

20

Agreement. The amended Sales Agreement continues indefinitely until either party terminates the Sales Agreement, which may be done on 10 days prior written notice. The Company received net proceeds on sales under the Sales Agreement of approximately $12.2 million at a weighted average price of $3.58 during the six months ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 7 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based compensation expense for all equity awards issued pursuant to the Array BioPharma Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Option and Incentive Plan") and for estimated shares to be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") for the current purchase period was approximately $2.1 million and $4.0 million, and $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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

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

The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table is calculated as the difference between the closing price of the Company's common stock at December 31, 2016, of $8.79 per share and the exercise price of the stock options that had strike prices below the closing price. The total intrinsic value of all options exercised was $561 thousand during the six months ended December 31, 2016. The total intrinsic value of all options exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $696 thousand.

As of December 31, 2016, there was approximately $16.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, including estimated forfeitures, related to the unvested stock options shown in the table above, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

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

A summary of the status of the Company's unvested RSUs as of December 31, 2016 and changes during the six months ended December 31, 2016, is presented below:

As of December 31, 2016, there was $3.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs granted under the Option and Incentive Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.3 years. The fair market value on the grant date for RSUs that vested during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $514 thousand and $497 thousand, respectively. RSUs granted during

the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 had a value of $3.5 million and $228 thousand, respectively, as of the grant date.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On October 27, 2016, the stockholders of the Company approved an increase, previously approved by the Board of Directors, in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP by 750 thousand shares to an aggregate of 6 million shares. The ESPP allows qualified employees (as defined in the ESPP) to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of (i) the closing price at the beginning of the offering period or (ii) the closing price at the end of the offering period. Effective each January 1, a new 12-month offering period begins that will end on December 31 of that year. However, if the closing stock price on July 1 is lower than the closing stock price on the preceding January 1, then the original 12-month offering period terminates, and the purchase rights under the original offering period roll forward into a new six-month offering period that begins July 1 and ends on December 31. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 1.1 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP. The Company issued 282 thousand and 265 thousand shares under the ESPP during fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively.


NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

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

The Company is party to an agreement with Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. ("Mirati") whereby Array conducted a feasibility program for Mirati related to a particular target in exchange for an upfront payment of $1.6 million that was received in October 2014 (which was recognized as revenue over the subsequent twelve months) and other payments and potential payments as described below. In September 2015, Mirati exercised an option to extend the feasibility program for six months, for which Array received a $750 thousand option extension fee (which was recognized as revenue over the subsequent six months). During April 2016, Mirati elected to exercise an option to take an exclusive, worldwide license to an active compound under the agreement and Array received $2.5 million ("Option Exercise Fee") and will receive additional fess as reimbursement for research and development services. In accordance with the revenue recognition criteria under ASC Topic 605, the Company determined that the Mirati agreement is a multi-deliverable arrangement with multiple deliverables: (1) the license rights, (2) services related to obtaining enhanced intellectual property rights through the issuance of a particular patent and (3) clinical development services.
 
The Company determined that the license granted under the Mirati Agreement does not have stand-alone value
apart from the services Array will provide.  Accordingly, the Option Exercise Fee received in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 is recorded as deferred revenue and is being recognized on a straight-line basis over three years, the period during which management expects that substantial development activities will be performed. Revenue recognized under this agreement was $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $2.2 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
 
Dr. Charles Baum, a current member of Array’s Board of Directors, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirati.

NOTE 9 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

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

Binimetinib and Encorafenib
In March 2015, Array regained development and commercialization rights to binimetinib, a MEK inhibitor, under the Termination and Asset Transfer Agreement with Novartis Pharma AG and Novartis Pharmaceutical Ltd. and to encorafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, under the Asset Transfer Agreement with Novartis Pharma AG (collectively, the “Novartis Agreements”). Along with global ownership of both assets, Array received an upfront payment of $85 million from Novartis. We believe these programs present significant opportunity to Array in the area of oncology.

We have also entered into a Development and Commercialization Agreement with Pierre Fabre Medicament SAS, (“Pierre Fabre” or "PFM"), which became effective in December 2015 (the "PF Agreement"), pursuant to which we granted Pierre Fabre rights to commercialize binimetinib and encorafenib in all countries except for the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea and Israel, where Array will retain its ownership rights. The PF Agreement satisfied our commitment to secure a development and commercialization partner for the European market for both encorafenib and binimetinib acceptable to European Commission regulatory agencies made in connection with the Novartis Agreements.

All clinical trials involving binimetinib and encorafenib that were active or planned when the Novartis Agreements became effective in March 2015, including the NEMO and COLUMBUS trials and other then active Novartis sponsored and investigator sponsored clinical studies, continue to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Novartis Agreements. Further worldwide development activities of binimetinib and encorafenib will be governed by a Global Development Plan (GDP) with Pierre Fabre. Pierre Fabre and Array will jointly fund worldwide development costs under the GDP, with Array covering 60% and Pierre Fabre covering 40% of such costs. The initial GDP includes multiple trials, including the BEACON CRC trial, and Pierre Fabre and Array have agreed to commit at least €100 million in combined funds for these studies in colorectal cancer (CRC) and melanoma.

Pierre Fabre is responsible for seeking regulatory and pricing and reimbursement approvals in the European Economic Area and its other licensed territories. We have also agreed to enter into a clinical and commercial supply agreement with Pierre Fabre pursuant to which we will supply or procure the supply of clinical and commercial

supplies of drug substance and drug product for Pierre Fabre, the costs of which will be borne by Pierre Fabre. We have also agreed to cooperate with Pierre Fabre to ensure the supply of companion diagnostics for use with binimetinib and encorafenib in indications where needed.

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

COLUMBUS

In November 2016, results from the pivotal Phase 3 COLUMBUS trial of binimetinib plus encorafenib (bini/enco) treatment in BRAF-mutant melanoma patients were presented at the Society for Melanoma Research Annual Congress. The study met its primary endpoint, with the combination of bini/enco significantly improving progression free survival (PFS) compared with vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, alone. In the analysis of the primary endpoint, the median PFS (mPFS) for patients treated with the combination of bini/enco was 14.9 months versus 7.3 months for patients treated with vemurafenib; hazard ratio (HR) 0.54, (95% CI 0.41-0.71, P<0.001). As part of the trial design, the primary analysis was based on a Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) of patient scans, while results by local review at the investigative site were also analyzed. The chart below outlines the mPFS results, as determined by both assessments, for the combination of bini/enco versus vemurafenib, bini/enco versus encorafenib, and encorafenib versus vemurafenib:

The combination of bini/enco also demonstrated an improvement in confirmed overall response rate (ORR; complete response plus partial response), the ability to deliver a high dose intensity to the majority of patients as well as an advantage in terms of maintaining quality of life for patients.

Median duration of exposure was approximately 51 weeks for patients receiving bini/enco, versus 31 weeks and 27 weeks for the encorafenib and vemurafenib monotherapy arms, respectively.
Median dose intensity for patients treated with bini/enco was 100 percent (encorafenib) and 99.6 percent (binimetinib).
5 percent of bini/enco patients had received prior treatment with check-point inhibitors, including ipilimumab, anti-PD-1 and/or anti-PD-L1 therapies, and the observed clinical activity for these patients was generally consistent with that of bini/enco patients who had not received prior immunotherapy.
The Quality of Life (QoL) measures were consistent between two scales and showed an advantage in terms of maintaining quality of life for patients receiving bini/enco compared to patients treated with either

27

Table of Contents

encorafenib or vemurafenib single agent therapy. The QoL scales used were the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 and FACT-Melanoma Scale Score (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy).

The combination of bini/enco was generally well-tolerated and reported adverse events (AEs) were overall consistent with previous bini/enco combination clinical trial results in BRAF-mutant melanoma patients.

Grade 3/4 AEs which occurred in more than 5 percent of patients receiving bini/enco included increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), increased blood creatine phosphokinase (CK), and hypertension.
The incidence of AEs of special interest (toxicities commonly associated with commercially available MEK+BRAF-inhibitor treatments), for patients receiving bini/enco included rash (23 percent), pyrexia (18 percent), retinal pigment epithelial detachment (13 percent) and photosensitivity (5 percent).

In addition, following discussions with the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC), COLUMBUS clinical investigators were instructed in January 2017 to notify all study participants of the results of the trial and to patients only vemurafenib patients alternative treatments with approved MEK/BRAF inhibitors. Array expects to file an NDA for COLUMBUS in June or July, with data from both Part 1 and Part 2 of the study. We believe Pierre Fabre remains on track to file the MAA during 2017. Binimetinib and encorafenib are investigational medicines and are not currently approved in any country.
 
Melanoma is the fifth most common cancer among men and the sixth most common cancer among women in the United States, with more than 87,000 new cases and over 9,700 deaths from the disease expected in 2017. Novel therapies that target the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway have a strong scientific rationale for activity in this disease, as up to 50 percent of patients with metastatic melanoma have activating BRAF mutations, the most common gene mutation in this patient population. Current marketed MEK/BRAF combination agents have a run rate approaching $1 billion in annual worldwide sales.

NEMO

In September 2016, Array announced that the FDA accepted its NDA for binimetinib in NRAS-mutant melanoma, with a target action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) of June 30, 2017. Also, the binimetinib Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) submitted by Pierre Fabre was validated and is currently under evaluation by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). The FDA indicated that it plans to hold an advisory committee meeting (ODAC) in the first half of 2017 as part of the review process.

Activating NRAS mutations are present in 20 percent of patients with metastatic melanoma, and are a poor prognostic indicator for these patients. Treatment options for this population remain limited beyond immunotherapy, and these patients face poor clinical outcomes and high mortality.

BEACON CRC

Array is advancing BEACON CRC, a global Phase 3 trial of encorafenib and Erbitux® (cetuximab), with or without binimetinib, versus standard of care in patients with BRAF-mutant CRC who have previously received first-or second-line systemic therapy. The study includes a safety lead-in with approximately 30 patients. Enrollment in the safety lead-in continues following a planned DMC review of the initial cohort. Array expects to complete patient enrollment with the safety lead-in in March and initiate randomization of patients in April. Array continues to expect early data from the triplet lead-in later this year.

BEACON CRC was initiated based on results from a Phase 2 study of the combination of encorafenib and cetuximab, with or without alpelisib, a selective PI3K alpha inhibitor, in patients with advanced BRAF-mutant CRC, which were presented at the 2016 ASCO meeting. In this study mOS for these patients exceeded one year, which is more than double several historical published benchmarks for this population.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer among men and third most common cancer among women in the United States, with more than 135,000 new cases and more than 50,000 deaths from the disease projected in 2017. In the United States, BRAF mutations occur in 8 to 15 percent of patients with colorectal cancer and represent a poor prognosis for these patients.

NEW NF1 STUDY


28

Table of Contents

In collaboration with Neurofibromatosis Consortium, Array is participating in a Phase 2 study of binimetinib in children and adults with NF1 associated Plexiform Neurofibromas. The study will enroll approximately 40 NF1 patients to determine the objective response to binimetinib defined as a 20 percent or greater tumor volume reduction by MRI. In addition, duration of response, assessment of quality of life, pain, functional outcomes, and safety and tolerability will be assessed.

Results from a prior Phase 1 NF1 trial of selumetinib, a MEK inhibitor also invented at Array, were recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, supporting further study of a MEK inhibitor in this patient population.

NON-CLINICAL STUDIES WITH MEK/PD-1

Array is evaluating MEK’s contribution to immunotherapy in non-clinical cancer models, including models for CRC and pancreatic cancer.

In a CRC model, the combination of binimetinib with immunotherapy demonstrates enhanced tumor growth inhibition, providing support for the potential mechanistic synergies between immunotherapy and MEK inhibition.

In a pancreatic cancer model, the combination treatment group shows enhanced survival (i.e., PFS) with the addition of binimetinib to anti-PD-1 antibody treatment, compared to single agent anti-PD-1 treatment. Definitive tumor growth inhibition and survival studies in this model are ongoing.

Given the potential to improve clinical outcomes, as supported by these non-clinical studies, Array believes that MEK / anti-PD1 combinations are appropriate regimens to study in a number of cancer indications.

ARRY-382
Array is advancing a Phase 1/2 dose escalation immuno-oncology trial of ARRY-382 in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda®), a PD-1 antibody, in patients with advanced solid tumors. ARRY-382 is a wholly-owned, highly selective and potent, small molecule inhibitor of CSF-1R kinase activity.

Enrollment in the Phase 1 portion of the trial continues following a planned DMC review of the initial dose level. Array expects to complete the Phase 1 portion of the trial in March and to initiate Phase 2 expansions in melanoma and non-small lung cancer during April.

ARRY-797
Based on data to date from a Phase 2 study of ARRY-797, an oral, selective p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor, in patients with LMNA-related DCM a rare, degenerative cardiovascular disease caused by mutations in the LMNA gene and characterized by poor prognosis. Array plans to initiate a Phase 3 trial of ARRY-797 this summer as we evaluate options regarding the asset, including advancing it internally, partnering the program for further development and commercialization or creating a separate company.

Selumetinib
In a Phase 1 clinical trial of selumetinib, a MEK inhibitor, children with the common genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas, tolerated selumetinib and, in most cases, responded to it with tumor shrinkage. NF1 affects 1 in 3,000 people. The study results were published on December 29, 2016, in The New England Journal of Medicine. Selumetinib is being explored as a treatment option in registration-enabling studies in patients with NF1 and patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. Array licensed exclusive worldwide rights to selumetinib to AstraZeneca and is entitled to future potential milestones and royalties on product sales.

The trial, which included 24 patients recruited between September 2011 and February 2014, was led by the National Cancer Institute’s Pediatric Oncology Branch. Plexiform neurofibromas develop in up to 50 percent of people with NF1. The majority of these tumors, which can cause significant pain, disability, and disfigurement, are diagnosed in early childhood and grow most rapidly prior to adolescence. Complete surgical removal of the tumors is rarely feasible, and incompletely resected tumors tend to grow back.

The primary aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the toxicity and safety of selumetinib in patients with NF1 and inoperable plexiform neurofibromas, and, encouragingly, most of the selumetinib-related toxic effects were mild. At present, no therapies are considered effective for NF1-related large plexiform neurofibromas, but, in this trial,

29

Table of Contents

partial responses, meaning 20 percent or more reduction in tumor volume, were observed in over 70 percent of the patients.

Responses were observed in tumors that were previously growing at a rate of greater than 20 percent per year, as well as in non-progressing lesions. Tumor shrinkage was maintained long term, for approximately two years, and as of early 2016, no disease progression had been observed in any trial participant. Patients remained on study for as long as four years. Additionally, anecdotal evidence of clinical improvement, including a decrease in tumor-related pain, improvement in motor function, and decreased disfigurement, was reported.


We also have a portfolio of proprietary and partnered preclinical drug discovery programs.

On March 31, 2016, we announced a strategic collaboration with Asahi Kasei Pharma Corporation (AKP) to develop and commercialize select preclinical Tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) inhibitors, including Array-invented ARRY-954, for pain, inflammation and other non-cancer indications. We received a $12.0 million upfront payment in April 2016 and may receive up to $64.0 million in additional development and commercialization milestone payments, including up to double-digit royalties on future sales. We will retain full commercialization rights for all compounds in all indications in territories outside of Asia and within Asia retain full rights to cancer indications for all compounds excluding those being developed by AKP.

We have received a total of $927.2 million in research funding and in upfront and milestone payments from partners from inception through December 31, 2016, including $260.5 million in initial payments from strategic agreements that we entered into over the last ten years. We received an upfront cash payment of $85.0 million upon the March 2015 effective date of the asset transfer agreement with Novartis for binimetinib and of $30.0 million in January 2016 from Pierre Fabre following approval of the PF Agreement by the European Commission on Competition. 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 12 partnered clinical and discovery programs.

Business Development and Partner Concentrations

Table of Contents

 
We currently license or partner certain of our compounds and/or programs and enter into collaborations directly with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies through opportunities identified by our business development group, senior management, scientists and customer referrals. In general, our partners may terminate their agreements with us with 60 to 180 days' prior notice. Specifics regarding termination provisions under our material collaboration or partnering agreements can be found in Note 5 – Collaboration and License Agreements to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

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

All of our collaboration and license agreements are denominated in U.S. dollars.

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

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, 2016.

Reimbursement Revenue

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

In connection with regaining all development and commercialization rights to binimetinib and obtaining all

31

Table of Contents

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

As shown in the table above, we recognized approximately $27.9 million and $27.3 million in reimbursement revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and we recognized approximately $59.3 million and $37.0 million in reimbursement revenue for six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in reimbursement revenue for the six-month period ended December 31, 2016 compared with the prior period was attributable to the advancement of the transitioned studies.

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

Collaboration and other revenue was relatively consistent for the periods presented above, with approximately $6.0 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and approximately $12.3 million and $13.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Collaboration and other revenue was down slightly in the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2016 compared with the prior periods mainly due to the conclusion of our collaborations with Biogen and Celgene during fiscal 2015, offset by new revenue under our collaborations with Pierre Fabre and Asahi Kasei.

Collaboration and other revenue also includes $450 thousand and $900 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $900 thousand and $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for recognition of the amortized portion of the upfront payment received from Novartis upon the effective date of the Binimetinib Agreement in March 2015 that was deferred. We are recording this revenue over a 28-month deferral period, which is the estimated number of months we expect will be required to complete our performance with respect to the applicable clinical trials under the Novartis Agreements. The remaining balance of this deferred revenue was $900 thousand at December 31, 2016.

License and Milestone Revenue

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

License and milestone revenue was $10.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $12.2 million and $1.1 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The increases in license and milestone revenue were largely attributable to two milestone payments that were earned in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. We earned and recognized a $6.0 million milestone from Loxo for the advancement of LOXO-101, a PanTrk inhibitor for cancer, and as well as a $2.5 million milestone from Roche for the advancement of danoprevir, the NS3/4A protease inhibitor for Hepatitis C, during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Additionally, we recognized license and milestone revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 related to license payments which were previously received from Pierre Fabre and Asahi Kasei. We recognized approximately $750 thousand and $1.5 million from Pierre Fabre during the three- and six- month periods. We recognized approximately $600 thousand and $1.2 million in revenue Asahi Kasei during the three- and six-month periods.

Cost of Partnered Programs

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

Cost of partnered programs increased from approximately $5.7 million to $9.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and from approximately $11.9 million to $17.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The increase in cost of partnered programs is primarily attributed to increases in our portion of development costs relating to the BEACON study of binimetinib and encorafenib in partnership with Pierre Fabre.
 
Research and Development Expenses for Proprietary Programs
 
Our research and development expenses for proprietary programs include costs associated with our proprietary drug programs, which primarily consist of personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and other related expenses, stock-based compensation, payments made to third party contract research organizations for preclinical and clinical studies, investigative sites for clinical trials and consultants, the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials, costs associated with regulatory filings and patents, software and facilities, and laboratory costs and other supply costs.

Research and development expenses for proprietary programs increased during the current three- and six-month periods primarily due to increased outsourced services and consulting costs required for the advancement of clinical trials for binimetinib and encorafenib. During the first half of fiscal 2017, we also incurred costs associated with preparing for the commercialization of binimetinib and encorafenib in excess of costs incurred during the prior year.

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, facilities, depreciation and other office expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $8.8 million compared to $9.9 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and to approximately $16.7 million compared to $17.3 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three- and six- month periods was primarily due to decreased legal and patent fees.

Prior to September 30, 2016, the shares of preferred stock of VentiRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("VentiRx") that we received under a February 2007 collaboration and licensing agreement with VentiRx had a recorded cost of $1.5 million. We do not have a controlling interest nor do we exert significant influence over VentiRx.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, a triggering event occurred related to the underlying viability of the investment which caused us to record a $1.5 million impairment loss related to this investment.

Interest income is earned from our investments in available-for-sale marketable securities. Interest expense is primarily related to our 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2020, but also includes interest expense related to Convertible Promissory Notes we issued to Redmile, our term loan with Comerica Bank and to a lesser extent for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, our term loan with Silicon Valley Bank, which replaced our Comerica Bank facility in December 2016. Details of our interest expense for all of our debt arrangements outstanding during the periods presented, including actual interest paid and amortization of debt and loan transaction fees, are presented in Note 4 – Debt to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
With the exception of fiscal year 2015, we have incurred operating losses and an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing research and development spending since inception. As of December 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $853.3 million, and we had a net loss of approximately $23.3 million and $51.9 million for

34

Table of Contents

the three and six months ended December 31, 2016. We had net loss of approximately $92.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. We had net income of approximately $9.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and a net loss of approximately $85.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, our net cash used in operations was approximately $42.2 million. We have historically funded our operations from upfront fees and license and milestone payments received under our drug collaborations and license agreements, the sale of equity securities, and debt provided by convertible debt and other credit facilities. We have entered into a Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or Cantor, dated March 27, 2013, which has subsequently been amended to permit the sale by Cantor, acting as our sales agent, of up to $75.0 million in additional shares of our common stock from time to time in an at-the-market offering. 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. The amended Sales Agreement continues indefinitely until either party terminates the Sales Agreement, which may be done on 10 days' prior written notice. We received net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million and $2.9 million on sales under the Sales Agreement during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, there is approximately $59.7 million available for future issuance under the Sales Agreement.

We accrued a liability of approximately $5.8 million at both September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 for estimated fiscal year 2016 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 2016, we paid approximately $5.8 million in cash bonuses to our employees under this performance bonus plan.

On September 2, 2016, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Redmile from which we received net proceeds of $9.8 million as further discussed in Note 4 - Debt to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On October 3, 2016, we closed an underwritten public offering of 21.2 million shares of our common stock, which included 2.8 million shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters in the offering, at a public offering price of $6.25 per share. The total net proceeds from the offering were $124.2 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We have also received net proceeds from the sale of shares under our Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald totaling $135.3 million from September 2013 to December 31, 2016, and we may sell up to $59.7 million in additional shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement.

We have historically funded our operations from upfront fees, proceeds from research and development reimbursement arrangements and milestone payments received under our drug collaborations and license arrangements, the sale of equity securities and proceeds provided by convertible debt and other credit facilities. Management believes that our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable as of December 31, 2016 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 that include upfront, 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. Even if we are successful, future funding from equity issuances would result in dilution to our existing stockholders and any future debt or debt securities may contain covenants that limit our operations or ability to enter into certain transactions. We also may not successfully consummate new collaboration or license agreements that provide for upfront fees or milestone payments, or we may not earn milestone payments under such agreements when anticipated, or at all. Our ability to realize milestone or royalty payments under existing agreements and to enter into new arrangements that generate additional revenue through upfront fees and milestone or royalty payments is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.

Table of Contents

Our assessment of our future need for funding and our ability to continue to fund our operations is a forward-looking statement that is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and that involves substantial risks and uncertainties. Our actual future capital requirements could vary as a result of a number of factors. Please refer to our risk factors under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" under Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, 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 and receive related full and timely collections of amounts due, it may be necessary to significantly reduce our current rate of spending through reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back or stopping certain research and development programs, including more costly late phase clinical trials on our wholly-owned programs. Insufficient liquidity may also require us to relinquish greater rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms to us and our stockholders than we would otherwise choose in order to obtain upfront license fees needed to fund operations. These events could prevent us from successfully executing our operating plan and, in the future, could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Further, as discussed in Note 4 – Debt to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are required to maintain a monthly liquidity ratio pursuant to which our unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held at Silicon Valley Bank plus our eligible accounts must be at least two times the entire outstanding debt balance with Silicon Valley Bank, which is currently $15.0 million.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Accounts Receivable

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

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

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

Net cash used in operating activities decreased approximately $19.3 million between the comparable periods. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was mainly due to the decrease in net loss of approximately $6.8 million offset by a change in working capital items of approximately $22.6 million.
 
Net cash used in investing activities increased $158.0 million due to a decrease in proceeds from maturities and sales of investment securities and an in increase purchases of securities during the current period following our public offering of shares of common stock in October 2016, as compared to the prior year period where maturities and sales of investment securities exceeded purchases.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $143.4 million primarily related to $124.2 million in net proceeds from the follow on offering of our common stock in October 2016 and $9.8 million in net proceeds from Convertible Promissory Notes we issued to Redmile in September 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and fluctuations in interest rates. All of our collaboration and license agreements and nearly all purchase orders are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, historically and as of December 31, 2016, we have had minimal exposure to market risk from changes in foreign currency or exchange rates.

Our investment portfolio is comprised primarily of readily marketable, high-quality securities that are diversified and structured to minimize market risks. We target an average portfolio maturity of one year or less. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investments in marketable securities. Marketable securities held in our investment portfolio are subject to changes in market value in response to changes in interest rates. A significant change in market interest rates could have a material impact on interest income earned from our investment portfolio. We model interest rate exposure by a sensitivity analysis that assumes a theoretical 100 basis point (1%) change in interest rates. If the yield curve were to change by 100 basis points from the level existing at December 31, 2016, we would expect future interest income to increase or decrease by approximately $1.5 million over the next 12 months based on the balance as of December 31, 2016 of $151.1 million of investments in U.S. treasury securities classified as short-term marketable securities available-for-sale. Changes in interest rates may affect the fair value of our investment portfolio; however, we will not recognize such gains or losses in our statement of operations and comprehensive loss unless the investments are sold.
 
Our term loan with Silicon Valley Bank of $15.0 million is our only variable rate debt. Assuming constant debt levels, a theoretical change of 100 basis points (1%) on our current interest rate of 1.75% on the Silicon Valley Bank debt as of December 31, 2016 would result in a change in our annual interest expense of $150 thousand.

Historically, and as of December 31, 2016, 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, 2016, 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, 2016, 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, 2016, 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, 2016 that we believe are material. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may negatively impact our business.
