Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On January 19, 2016, Acorda Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), agreed to issue 2,250,900 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to an initial purchaser, in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Shares are being issued to the initial purchaser in reliance on the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.  The initial purchaser has subsequently sold all of the Shares directly to institutional investors.  The aggregate offering price for the Shares to be sold to the initial purchaser is $74,999,988, and the aggregate discounts and commissions to be paid by the Company will be $2,250,900. The settlement of the Shares with the initial purchaser is expected to occur on January 26, 2016.

The Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
