Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On July 14, 2017, Recro Pharma, Inc., through its
subsidiary Recro Ireland Limited (collectively, the
Company
) entered into a Master Manufacturing Services Agreement (the
Master Agreement
) and a related Product Agreement (the
Product
Agreement
, and together with the Master Agreement, the
Agreements
) with Patheon UK Limited (
Patheon
), each effective as of July 14, 2017. The Master Agreement governs the general terms under which
Patheon, or one of its affiliates, will provide manufacturing services to the Company for the drug products specified by the Company from time to time. The Product Agreement relates specifically to manufacturing services for injectable meloxicam.
Under the terms of the Product Agreement, Recro will supply bulk injectable meloxicam formulation to Patheon for sterile fill-finish at Patheons
Monza, Italy manufacturing site. The Company has agreed to purchase from Patheon a certain percentage of its annual requirements in a specified territory of any drug manufactured under the Master Agreement, however the Company is not required to
purchase any minimum quantities of injectable meloxicam or any other drug product under the Agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the Company has granted to Patheon a non-exclusive license to its intellectual property solely for the
purpose of enabling Patheon to perform the manufacturing services under the Agreements.
The Agreements expire on December 31, 2020 and will
automatically renew thereafter for successive two-year periods unless terminated by either party upon prior written notice. The Company may terminate each Agreement upon prior notice if (i) a governmental authority prevents the Company from
importing, exporting, purchasing or selling the underlying product, (ii) the underlying product is discontinued in the market or (iii) Patheon fails to timely deliver batches of the underlying product (injectable meloxicam in the case of
the Product Agreement). Patheon may terminate the Master Agreement or the Product Agreement if the Company assigns any rights thereunder to a Patheon competitor or to a non-credit worthy substitute. Either party may also terminate each Agreement for
material, uncured breaches or in the event of the other partys bankruptcy.
The Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, mutual
indemnities, limitations of liability and confidentiality provisions.
The foregoing description of the Agreements does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by the Agreements, copies of which the Company intends to file as exhibits to the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2017.
