Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 6, 2011, Exactech, Inc., a Florida corporation (the Company), entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to its Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the DPA) with the United States Attorneys Office for the District of New Jersey (the USAO) that extends the term of the DPA for three months, ending on March 8, 2012. As previously reported, Exactech entered into the DPA in December 2010 in connection with the resolution of the investigation commenced by the USAO in December 2007 into the Companys consulting arrangements with orthopaedic surgeons relating to its hip and knee products in the United States. In accordance with the DPA, an independent monitor was appointed to review and evaluate Exactechs compliance with its obligations under the DPA, and the Company agreed to extend the term of the DPA, at the request of the USAO, in order to allow the monitor additional time to further test the implementation of compliance systems. The USAO has not alleged any breach by Exactech of any of the terms of the DPA, and, other than extending its term, the Amendment makes no other changes to the DPA. The Amendment is subject to approval by the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
