Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 29, 2014, Zogenix, Inc. (“Zogenix”) entered into a Waiver Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Purdue Pharma L.P. (“Purdue”), pursuant to which Zogenix granted to Purdue a permanent, irrevocable, non-transferable and exclusive waiver of the three-year Hatch-Waxman regulatory exclusivity period with respect to NDA 202880 for Zohydro ER® capsules in support of Purdue’s single-entity, extended-release hydrocodone product which is the subject of pending NDA 206627 and any single-entity, once-daily hydrocodone successor products or NDAs filed by Purdue (“Purdue Product”). In addition, Purdue granted to Zogenix a permanent, irrevocable, non-transferable and exclusive waiver of the Hatch-Waxman regulatory exclusivity period with respect to Purdue Products in support of Zogenix’s single-entity, twice-a-day hydrocodone product, including Zohydro ER and any successor products with any abuse deterrent properties or labeling claims.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Purdue will pay to Zogenix (i) $5.0 million within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Agreement, (ii) $5.0 million on July 1, 2015, and (iii) a percentage royalty in the low single-digits on Purdue’s net sales of Purdue Product commencing on October 1, 2015 and ending on October 25, 2016, only to the extent such royalty payment by Purdue in the aggregate would exceed $5.0 million and then only with respect to royalties in excess of such amount.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Agreement. Zogenix expects to file the Agreement with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, requesting confidential treatment for certain portions.
