Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 5, 2017, IntelGenx Corp. (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of IntelGenx Technologies Corp., announced it has received notice that RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: RDHL) (Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange: RDHL) (“RedHill”) intends to terminate its agreement with the Company for the co-development and commercialization of RIZAPORT®. The termination notice follows receipt of a communication by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) indicating that, based on an initial review of the 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (“NDA”) resubmission for RIZAPORT® 10 mg, the Agency will require additional information before the NDA resubmission is deemed complete and permitted a full review. The questions raised by the FDA, which triggered the current resubmission, primarily related to third party chemistry, manufacturing and controls, and the packaging and labeling of the product. The FDA raised no questions or deficiencies relating to RIZAPORT®’s safety and bio-equivalence data and did not require additional clinical trials.
