Item 8.01. Other Events

On June 12, 2015, The Medicines Company (the "Company") filed a Notice of Withdrawal Without Prejudice (the "Notice") with respect to its Emergency Motion for an Injunction Pending Appeal and for a Temporary Restraining Order filed against Hospira, Inc. ("Hospira") in connection with the parties’ pending appeals in The Medicines Company v. Hospira, Inc., which involves Hospira's Abbreviated New Drug Applications seeking approval to commercially manufacture, use or sell a generic version of the Company's Angiomax® bivalirudin drug product before the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,582,727 and 7,598,343.

The Company filed the Notice based on the parties' agreement to maintain the status quo until the earlier of (i) the date of a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision concerning the parties' pending appeals in The Medicines Company v. Hospira, Inc. (Appeal Nos. 14-1469, 14-1504) or (ii) the close of business on July 7, 2015.  The agreement does not prevent the Company from seeking injunctive relief against Hospira at any time.
