Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 22, 2014, Alimera Sciences, Inc. (“Alimera”), pSivida Corp.’s licensee with respect to ILUVIEN®, filed a form 8-K disclosing the following information: “As previously disclosed, [Alimera] has been negotiating with regulatory authorities in France regarding the pricing of ILUVIEN®. These negotiations have taken longer than previously anticipated, and [Alimera] does not plan to commercially launch ILUVIEN® in France prior to reaching a satisfactory agreement with such regulatory authorities, which [Alimera] does not expect to occur in 2014. Therefore, the earliest that ILUVIEN® could be launched in France would be 2015, although there can be no assurance that [Alimera] will reach a satisfactory agreement with such regulatory authorities in 2015, if at all.”
