Item 8.01 — Other Events.

 

As Egalet Corporation (the “Company”) has disclosed previously, the Company is a party to an agreement with Apotex Corp. and Apotex Inc. (collectively, “Apotex”) that permits the potential launch of an authorized generic for SPRIX Nasal Spray in March 2018.  Under the Company’s agreement with Apotex, Apotex was required to inform the Company in writing on or before November 25, 2017 (the “Notification Deadline”) that it was exercising its option for an authorized generic product to be launched on March 25, 2018.  The Company did not receive any such written notification on or before the Notification Deadline; therefore, Apotex has lost the right to launch an authorized generic version of SPRIX Nasal Spray.  If Apotex is able to satisfy the requirements for launching an unauthorized generic, including securing approval of its abbreviated new drug application by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, it would be permitted to do so in September 2018, and, in certain circumstances, six months prior to that date, whereupon it would be obligated to pay the Company royalties on net sales of such generic version from the launch date until December 2018.
