Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Pursuant to that certain indenture dated as of June 15, 2015, between Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ironwood”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Indenture”), Ironwood previously issued $335.7 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”).

 

On April 5, 2019, Ironwood and the Trustee entered into a Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”). Pursuant to Section 10.01(h) of the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture amends the term “Valuation Period” under the Indenture to reference a ten consecutive trading day period, rather than a five consecutive trading day period, in order to conform the definition of “Valuation Period” in the Indenture to the definition of “Valuation Period” used in the preliminary offering memorandum, dated June 8, 2015, relating to the offering and sale of the Notes.

 

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
