Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 1, 2018, BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a contract (the “CDC Contract”) with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) for the procurement of up to 50,000 doses of RAPIVAB® (peramivir injection), the Company’s approved influenza therapy, over a five year period. During the base period of September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019 the CDC may purchase up to 10,000 doses of RAPIVAB® for a total price of approximately $6.9 million. The CDC also has the option in each of the four subsequent years to purchase up to an additional 10,000 doses at the same per unit price, resulting in a total potential contract value of approximately $34.7 million over five years, if all contract options are exercised.

 

The CDC Contract contains a number of terms and conditions that are customary for government contracts of this nature, including provisions giving the government the right to terminate the contract at the government’s discretion.

 

The above description of the CDC Contract is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the CDC Contract filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events

 

On September 6, 2018, the Company issued a news release announcing the events described in Item 1.01. A copy of the news release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding future results, performance or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause BioCryst’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could affect the forward-looking statements contained herein include: that the CDC may purchase smaller quantities of RAPIVAB® than currently anticipated, or none at all; that the Company relies on third-party manufacturers to manufacture RAPIVAB® in a timely manner and in accordance with applicable governmental regulations, and any failure of such third-party manufacturers to perform their obligations could impact the Company’s ability to supply RAPIVAB® pursuant to the CDC Contract; and that government contracts contain certain terms and conditions, including termination provisions, that subject the Company to additional risks. Please refer to the documents BioCryst files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically BioCryst’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, all of which identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in BioCryst’s projections and forward-looking statements.

CDC42.0002 Evaluation of Contractor Performance Utilizing CPARS (April 2013) In accordance with FAR 42.15, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will review and evaluate contract performance. FAR 42.1502 and 42.1503 requires agencies to prepare evaluations of contractor performance and submit them to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The CDC utilizes the Department of Defense (DOD) web - based Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to prepare and report these contractor performance evaluations. All information contained in these assessments may be used by the Government, within the limitations ofFAR 42.15, for future source selections in accordance with FAR 15.304 where past performance is an evaluation factor. The CPARS system requires a contractor representative to be assigned so that the contractor has appropriate input into the performance evaluation process. The CPARS contractor representative will be given access to CPARS and will be given the opportunity to concur or not - concur with performance evaluations before the evaluations are complete. The CPARS contractor representative will also have the opportunity to add comments to performance evaluations. The assessment is not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract, nor is it subject to appeal beyond the review and comment procedures described in the guides on the CPARS website. Refer to: www.cpars.gov for details and additional information related to CPARS, CPARS user access, how contract performance assessments are conducted, and how Contractors participate. Access and training for all persons responsible for the preparation and review of performance assessments is also available at the CPARS website. The contractor shall provide the CDC contracting office with the name, e - mail address, and phone number of their designated CPARS representative who will be responsible for logging into CPARS and reviewing and commenting on performance evaluations. The contractor shall maintain a current representative to serve as the contractor representative in CPARS. It is the contractor's responsibility to notify the CDC contracting office, in writing (letter or email), when their CPARS representative information needs to be changed or updated. Failure to maintain current CPARS contractor representative information will result in the loss of an opportunity to review and comment on performance evaluations. C.

CDC Awards BioCryst $35 Million RAPIVAB® Contract for Strategic National Stockpile

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Sept. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BCRX), a pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for rare diseases, today announced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has awarded BioCryst a $34.7 million contract for the procurement of up to 50,000 doses of BioCryst’s approved antiviral influenza therapy, RAPIVAB ® (peramivir injection) over a five-year period.
