Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 27, 2013, POZEN Inc., a Delaware corporation (“POZEN”), received written notice from DESITIN Arzneimittel GmbH (“DESITIN”) that DESITIN was terminating that certain License and Development Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of May 4, 2012, for the exclusive development and commercialization of MT 400 in 27 countries of the European Union, as well as Switzerland and Norway. MT 400 is POZEN’s proprietary combination of sumatriptan and naproxen sodium, a multiple mechanism triptan therapy for the treatment of acute migraine.
There is no dispute among the parties, and POZEN has been advised that reimbursement uncertainty is the basis for DESITIN’s decision to terminate the Agreement. The Agreement will terminate, in accordance with its terms, ninety (90) days from POZEN’s receipt of DESITIN’s notice of termination.
