Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

As previously disclosed, on January 8, 2017 (the “ Execution Date ”), AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ AMAG ”) and Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“ Palatin ”) entered into a licensing agreement (the “ License Agreement ”) for exclusive North American rights to develop and commercialize Rekynda TM  (bremelanotide), an investigational product designed for on-demand treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“ HSDD ”) in pre-menopausal women (the “ Licensing Transaction ”) .  Following the satisfaction of the conditions to closing under the License Agreement, the Licensing Transaction closed on February 2, 2017 (the “ Effective Date ”).

 

Under the terms of the License Agreement, Palatin has granted AMAG (i) an exclusive license in all countries of North America (the “ Territory ”), with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research, develop and commercialize products containing bremelanotide (the “ Products ”), (ii) a non-exclusive license in the Territory, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to manufacture Products, and (iii) a non-exclusive license in all countries outside the Territory, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research, develop and manufacture (but not commercialize) the Products.

 

Pursuant to the terms of and subject to the conditions in the License Agreement, AMAG is required to make the following payments to Palatin: (i) $60 million as a one-time upfront payment within five days following the Effective Date (the “ Upfront Consideration ”) and (ii) up to an aggregate amount of $25 million to reimburse Palatin for all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Palatin, following the Effective Date, in connection with the development and regulatory activities necessary to file a new drug application (“ NDA ”) for a Product for HSDD in the United States.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of and subject to the conditions in the License Agreement, Palatin will be eligible to receive from AMAG: (i) up to $80 million in specified payments upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones, and (ii) up to $300 million in sales milestone payments based on achievement of annual net sales amounts for all Products in the Territory.

 

AMAG is also obligated to pay Palatin tiered royalties on annual net sales of Products, on a product-by-product basis, in the Territory ranging from the high-single digits to the low double-digits. The royalties will expire on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis upon the latest to occur of (i) the earliest date on which there are no valid claims of Palatin patent rights covering such Product in such country, (ii) the expiration of the regulatory exclusivity period for such Product in such country and (iii) ten years following the first commercial sale of such Product in such country. Such royalties are subject to reduction in the event that: (a) AMAG must license additional third party intellectual property in order to develop, manufacture or commercialize a Product or (b) generic competition occurs with respect to a Product in a given country, subject to an aggregate cap on such deductions of royalties otherwise payable to Palatin.  After the expiration of the applicable royalties for any Product in a given country, the license for such Product in such country would become a fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license.

 

AMAG and Palatin have made customary representations and warranties and have agreed to certain customary covenants, including confidentiality and indemnification.

 

Rekynda is currently in clinical development and, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Palatin will continue to conduct the clinical activities to support the NDA filing that AMAG will submit, subject to reimbursement as described above.  Under the License Agreement, AMAG is assuming the obligations under manufacturing and supply agreements with Catalent Belgium S.A.  AMAG is not acquiring any physical assets at closing, but may acquire remaining inventories of compounds and product from Palatin when development is completed. No Palatin employees will be transferred to AMAG.  Palatin has represented that during the fiscal-year ended June 30, 2015, the fiscal-year ended June 30, 2016, and the three-months ended September 30, 2016, Palatin spent $24.6 million, $43.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively, on research and development.  Approximately 95% of the aggregate of these amounts related to bremelanotide research and development matters, including outside program costs and allocated full-time employee expenses.

 

The License Agreement expires on the date of expiration of all royalty obligations due thereunder unless earlier terminated in accordance with the License Agreement.  AMAG has the right to terminate the License Agreement without cause, in its entirety or on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis upon at least 180 days’ prior written notice to Palatin. Either party may terminate the License Agreement for cause if the other party materially breaches or defaults in the performance of its obligations, and, if curable, such material breach remains uncured for 90 days.

 

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the License Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties under such agreement. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the available text of the License Agreement, a redacted copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.  AMAG has determined that the Licensing Transaction does not involve the acquisition of a business and AMAG does not believe that the amount paid (taking into account the Upfront Consideration and the value upon

closing of the additional and contingent consideration that may become payable under the License Agreement) would be deemed to exceed 10% of AMAG’s total assets on a consolidated basis; however, AMAG is filing this Form 8-K to provide investors with disclosure as if Item 2.01 of Form 8-K were applicable.  This filing should not be deemed an admission by AMAG that the closing of the Licensing Transaction triggers required disclosure under Item 2.01 of Form 8-K.

 

Risk Factors and Cautionary Statement

 

An investment in AMAG’s securities involves various risks and uncertainties including, among others : (1) uncertainties regarding AMAG’s and Palatin’s ability to successfully and timely complete clinical development programs and obtain regulatory approval for Rekynda in North America, and AMAG’s reliance on the contributions of Palatin for the development and regulatory activities necessary for such approval, (2) the possibility that significant safety or drug interaction problems could arise with respect to Rekynda, (3) the ability of AMAG to raise awareness and understanding of HSDD and the potential benefits of Rekynda, (4) uncertainties regarding the manufacture of Rekynda, (5) the ability of AMAG to integrate a development-stage, investigational product into its portfolio, especially given AMAG’s limited experience with such products, (6) uncertainties relating to AMAG’s and Palatin’s patents and proprietary rights associated with Rekynda in North America, (7) the competitive landscape for Rekynda and AMAG’s ability to differentiate Rekynda from other products and gain market acceptance, (8) difficulties with training and/or expanding AMAG’s current sales force, (9) even if regulatory approval to market Rekynda is granted, the approval may impose limitations on the indicated use and/or require post-approval requirements, (10) the actual market size and opportunity for Rekynda may be smaller than expected, including because Rekynda is administered by subcutaneous auto-injection, which may be viewed as a disadvantage if an oral therapy is available, (11) uncertainties concerning the extent and scope of third-party reimbursement for Rekynda, (12) that the cost of the transaction to AMAG will be more than planned and/or will not provide the intended positive financial results, (13) that AMAG or Palatin will fail to comply with their respective obligations under or otherwise breach the License Agreement, (14) uncertainty regarding AMAG’s ability to compete in the female sexual dysfunction market in North America, and (15) such other risks identified in AMAG’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 and subsequent filings with the Commission, including its upcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Additional risks attendant to Rekynda identified by Palatin can be found in Palatin’s filings with the Commission, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2016 and subsequent filings with the Commission, including its upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

 

Further, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. Any statements contained herein which do not describe historical facts, including but not limited to, statements regarding AMAG’s beliefs regarding the present value of the Licensing Transaction, are forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements.  Such risks and uncertainties include those discussed in the paragraph above.  AMAG cautions you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.  AMAG disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in expectations or in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

event that any Third Party asserts a claim or other proceeding (including any governmental investigation) with respect to any matter for which a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) is entitled to indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Party obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) thereof; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

 

10.4.2.            Control . Subject to AMAG’s right to control any actions described in Sections 6.2.2, 6.2.5, 6.2.6, 6.2.8 or 6.3 (even where Palatin is the Indemnifying Party), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Indemnified Party within ten Business Days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Third Party Claim, to assume direction and control of the defense, litigation, settlement, appeal or other disposition of the Third Party Claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that (a) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is sought, (b) the Third Party Claim seeks solely monetary damages and (c) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim in full (the conditions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above are collectively referred to as the “Litigation Conditions”). Within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party has given notice to the Indemnified Party of its exercise of its right to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any objection thereto based upon the Litigation Conditions. If the Indemnified Party reasonably so objects, the Indemnified Party shall continue to defend the Third Party Claim, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, until such time as such objection is withdrawn. If no such notice is given, or if any such objection is withdrawn, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to assume direction and control of such defense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. During such time as the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, and shall cause its Affiliates and agents to cooperate upon request of the Indemnifying Party, in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including by furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may reasonably be requested by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not satisfy the Litigation Conditions or does not notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s intent to defend any Third Party Claim within ten Business Days after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may (without further notice to the Indemnifying Party) undertake the defense thereof with counsel of its choice and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (including reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of enforcement or defense). The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to join in (including the right

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

AMAG PHARMACEUTICALS ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENT FOR NORTH AMERICAN RIGHTS TO REKYNDA TM  (BREMELANOTIDE)

 

Anticipated new drug application (NDA) filing in early 2018

 

WALTHAM, Mass., February 3, 2017 - AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMAG) announced today the closing of the licensing agreement with Palatin Technologies, Inc. for exclusive North American commercial rights to Rekynda TM  (bremelanotide), an investigational product developed for on-demand treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in pre-menopausal women. The agreement was announced on January 9, 2017, and its closing broadens AMAG’s presence in women’s health.

 

HSDD is the most common type of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), affects approximately 15 million women in the U.S. and is characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulties.(1) Approximately 5.8 million pre-menopausal women have a primary diagnosis of HSDD.(2),(3),(4) Recent market research indicates that 95 percent of pre-menopausal women suffering from HSDD are unaware that it is a treatable medical condition. (4)  Furthermore, the majority of these women indicated a willingness to try a product like Rekynda, if recommended by their doctor.(4)

 

“We are pleased about the potential to further serve the health needs of women with the addition of Rekynda to AMAG’s expanding portfolio,” said William Heiden, chief executive officer of AMAG. “With our deep relationships in the women’s health community and experience building educational programs that engage patients and healthcare professionals, AMAG is well suited to drive awareness and increased understanding of HSDD.”

 

Palatin has successfully completed two Phase 3 clinical trials for Rekynda, with co-primary endpoints met. AMAG expects to file an NDA for Rekynda in early 2018, with an anticipated approval and launch by early 2019.

About Rekynda TM  (bremelanotide)

Rekynda (bremelanotide), an investigational product, is thought to possess a novel mechanism of action, activating endogenous melanocortin pathways involved in sexual desire and response.

 

The two Phase 3 studies for HSDD in pre-menopausal women consisted of double-blind placebo-controlled, randomized parallel group studies comparing a subcutaneous dose of 1.75 mg of Rekynda delivered via an auto-injector pen to placebo. Each trial consisted of more than 600 patients randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the treatment arm or placebo with a 24 week evaluation period. In both clinical trials, Rekynda met the pre-specified co-primary efficacy endpoints of improvement in desire and decrease in distress associated with low sexual desire as measured using validated patient-reported outcome instruments.

 

Women in the trials had the option, after completion of the trial, to continue in an ongoing open-label safety extension study for an additional 12 months. Nearly 80% of patients elected to remain in the open-label portion of the study, and all of these patients will continue to receive Rekynda.

 

In both Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials, the most frequent adverse events were nausea, flushing, and headache, which were generally mild-to-moderate in severity.

 

Rekynda has no known alcohol interactions.
