Item 1.01.
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On November 15, 2011, DaVita Inc. (the Company) entered into a seven year Sourcing and Supply Agreement (the Agreement) with
Amgen USA Inc. (Amgen), a wholly owned subsidiary of Amgen Inc. The Agreement sets forth the terms under which the Company, and certain of its affiliates and facilities managed by the Company or its affiliates, will purchase Epoetin alfa
(Epogen) in amounts necessary to meet no less than 90% of the Companys and its affiliates requirements for erythropoiesis stimulating agents. The Agreement replaces in its entirety the Dialysis Organization Agreement,
effective January 1, 2011, between the Company and Amgen that expires by its terms on December 31, 2011(the Expiring Agreement). The term of the Agreement commences January 1, 2012 and ends December 31,
2018.
The Agreement, among other things, provides for discount pricing and rebates for Epogen. Some of the rebates are subject to various
conditions including future pricing levels of Epogen by Amgen USA and data submission by DaVita. In the initial years of the agreement the total rebate opportunity is less than provided for in the Expiring Agreement.
The Agreement allows for termination by either party before expiration of its term in the event of certain breaches of the Agreement, and allows for
modification or renegotiation in the event of a change in law or regulation.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the actual text of the Agreement, a copy of which the Company expects to file as an exhibit to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure

as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as shall be
