Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 26, 2019, the Company and Endo Global Ventures, a Bermuda unlimited liability company (“Endo Global Ventures”) entered into the Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Development and License Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to amend certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Development and License Agreement, by and between the Company and Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Auxilium”), dated as of August 31, 2011 (the “License Agreement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 1, 2011 as Exhibit 10.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K. Auxilium subsequently assigned the License Agreement to Auxilium Bermuda ULC. Endo International plc (“Endo”) acquired Auxilium on January 29, 2015, and changed the name of Auxilium Bermuda ULC, now an affiliate of Endo, to Endo Global Ventures.

 

The Second Amendment has an effective date of January 1, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, the Company has consented to the assignment of the License Agreement by Endo Global Ventures to Endo Global Aesthetics Limited, an Irish private company and an affiliate of Endo Global Ventures that is indirectly wholly-owned by Endo. In addition, the Second Amendment amends certain provisions of the License Agreement to require Endo to provide timely estimates of royalties to assist the Company in complying with its financial reporting obligations.

 

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Second Amendment and, therefore, does not purport to be complete. This description is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Second Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. All readers are encouraged to read the entire text of the Second Amendment.
