Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
As previously reported, on January 18, 2012, the businesses of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“JPI”) and Azur Pharma Public Limited Company (“Azur Pharma”) were combined to create Jazz Pharmaceuticals Public Limited Company (the “Company”) in a merger transaction (the “merger”) pursuant to which JPI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Azur Pharma changed its name to Jazz Pharmaceuticals Public Limited Company. JPI is treated as the acquiring company in the merger for accounting purposes and the transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. As a result, the consolidated financial statements of JPI for the periods through January 18, 2012 became the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the same respective periods.
On February 27, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing financial results for JPI for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 and providing selected 2011 financial results for the historic Azur Pharma business. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
The information in this Item 2.02 and in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
