Item 2.02. Results of Operations & Financial Condition.
On February 17, 2015, Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Momenta) announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2014. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item 2.02 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On February 16, 2015, Baxter International, Inc., on behalf of it and certain of its affiliates (collectively, Baxter), notified Momenta that it was terminating in part the Development, License and Option Agreement dated December 22, 2011 between Momenta and Baxter (the Collaboration Agreement) as it relates specifically to M834, a product candidate being developed as a biosimilar of an originator biologic indicated for certain autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The Collaboration Agreement remains in effect and unchanged with respect to M923, a product candidate being developed as a biosimilar of HUMIRA® (adalimumab).
Momenta retains all worldwide development and commercialization rights for M834. Pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Baxter has granted to Momenta a license, that survives the termination-in-part for M834, under, as applicable, the Baxter Intellectual Property and the Collaboration Intellectual Property (as these terms are defined in the Collaboration Agreement) to develop and commercialize M834 either independently or with a third-party.
Also, on February 14, 2015, Baxters right to select three additional originator biologics to target for biosimilar development under the Collaboration Agreement expired without being exercised.
Momenta remains eligible to receive from Baxter, in aggregate, up to $50 million in milestone payments under the Collaboration Agreement, consisting of potential regulatory milestone payments relating to M923.
The foregoing description of the Collaboration Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.21 to Momentas Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2012.
