## Latest Collegium Pharmaceutical news

1. 2026-10-19 Distress [Collegium pays Grünenthal $17,000,000 to settle Nucynta suit and end license](https://aibio.space/news/collegium-pays-grunenthal-17-000-000-settle-nucynta-suit-end-license/) Collegium will pay Grünenthal $17,000,000 to end a February 2026 patent suit and a Nucynta license that carried royalties. The 8-K does not say what those royalties cost the company.
2. 2026-05-12 Mergers [Collegium completes $650 million AZSTARYS acquisition, funded with cash and $300 million term loan](https://aibio.space/news/collegium-completes-650-million-azstarys-acquisition-funded-cash-300/) Collegium paid about $650 million in cash for AZSTARYS, using about $350 million of cash on hand and a $300 million delayed draw term loan. Two senior executives are leaving, and the company may pay up to $135 million more if AZSTARYS hits milestones.
3. 2026-05-12 Mergers [Collegium completes AZSTARYS purchase for about $650 million, raises 2026 guidance](https://aibio.space/news/collegium-completes-azstarys-purchase-about-650-million-raises-2026/) Collegium paid about $650 million in cash for AZSTARYS, using $350 million of its own cash and a $300 million loan draw.

4. 2025-12-30 Debt Financing [Collegium closes $980 million syndicated credit facility with Truist Bank as agent](https://aibio.space/news/collegium-closes-980-million-syndicated-credit-facility-truist-bank/) The five-year facility has a $580 million initial term loan, a $300 million delayed draw term loan and a $100 million revolver, with Truist Bank as administrative agent. Collegium used the initial loan to repay its previous term loan in full, including its prepayment premium, which the filing does not size.
5. 2025-12-30 Debt Financing [Collegium closes $980 million syndicated credit facility, repays Pharmakon term loan](https://aibio.space/news/collegium-closes-980-million-syndicated-credit-facility-repays/) The $980 million facility matures in 2030 and includes a $580 million initial term loan, a $300 million delayed draw term loan and a $100 million revolver. The initial term loan repaid about $581 million owed to Pharmakon, so it brought no new cash at closing.
6. 2025-07-07 Financings [Collegium Pharmaceutical authorizes buyback of up to $150 million](https://aibio.space/news/collegium-pharmaceutical-authorizes-buyback-up-150-million/) The board approved the program on July 1, 2025. It runs through December 31, 2026 and will be funded from existing cash on hand, but the 8-K gives no cash balance to measure that against.
