Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 20, 2020, Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and a Commercialization Agreement (the “Commercialization Agreement”) (collectively referred to as the “New Agreements”) with DexCom, Inc. (“DexCom”). Previously, the Company and DexCom had entered into Development Agreements dated June 4, 2015 (collectively referred to as the “Prior Agreements”) that facilitated integration of the Company’s earlier generation insulin pump products with

DexCom’s G5® and G6® continuous glucose monitoring (“CGM”) devices.

The New Agreements allow for the continuation of the Company’s and DexCom’s development and collaboration activities that enable the integration of the Company’s insulin pump products with DexCom’s CGM devices. The New Agreements build upon this collaborative relationship, serving to integrate the Company’s current and future generation insulin pump products with DexCom’s G6® and G7® CGM devices. The New Agreements also establish requirements for future communication between the Company’s and DexCom’s digital health products and formalize other development and commercialization processes that were previously handled through informal means.

The Development Agreement became effective upon its execution and will continue in effect for as long as the Commercialization Agreement continues in effect, unless terminated earlier. The Commercialization Agreement became effective upon its execution and has an initial term of five years from the date of first commercial launch of any combined system implementation, unless terminated earlier, and thereafter automatically renews for successive two-year periods unless a party provides advance notice of non-renewal. Both Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification obligations, and other terms and conditions.

The New Agreements do not modify or amend the terms of the Company’s existing License Agreement dated July 14, 2016 with TypeZero Technologies, LLC, a company acquired in 2018 by DexCom.

The foregoing descriptions of the New Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full and complete terms of the Commercialization Agreement and the Development Agreement, a copy of each of which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
