Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 8, 2016, Recro Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2015, by and among Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited (“APIL”), Daravita Limited, Eagle Holdings USA, Inc., the Company and Recro Gainesville LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amendment revises the payment terms of the Development Milestone Earn-Out Consideration (as defined in the Amendment) due from the Company to APIL to provide that the Company may elect, at its option, to defer the $10 million milestone payment otherwise due upon the filing of the new drug application (“NDA”) for intravenous meloxicam to approval of the NDA (the “Deferral Option”). If the Company elects the Deferral Option, the $10 million milestone payment will be increased to $15 million, which will result in an aggregate milestone payment due to APIL of $45 million upon approval of the NDA.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
