Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 21, 2018, Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a confidential Settlement Agreement and Licensing Agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”), in each case between the Company, Neos Therapeutics, LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Teva”). This Agreement resolves all ongoing litigation involving the Company’s patents protecting its Cotempla XR-ODT® methylphenidate extended-release orally disintegrating tablets and Teva’s Abbreviated New Drug Application (the “ANDA”) filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Under the Agreement, the Company has granted Teva the right to manufacture and market its generic version of Cotempla XR-ODT under the ANDA beginning on July 1, 2026, or earlier under certain circumstances. The Agreement provides for a full settlement of all claims that were asserted in the suit, subject to the acceptance of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware of a stipulation of dismissal.  As required by law, the Agreement will be submitted to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice.

 

The foregoing summary of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.
