Executive Summary
Inhale Therapeutic Systems and Baxter International are attempting to renegotiate their deal to develop Inhale's pulmonary drug delivery system. Just 18 months ago, Baxter announced that up to $80 million would be available to Inhale to cover development and trials, through milestone payments. At the time Baxter put in $20 million as equity investment. Inhale says that the scope of the agreement has increased and - as Inhale is in the middle of a public stock offering - it made the declaration that it is seeking a renegotiation.
