Section 1 Financial Information
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously announced, on November 8, 2012, XenoPort, Inc. (the Company or XenoPort) reached an agreement with Glaxo Group Limited (GSK) to terminate that certain Amended and Restated Development and Commercialization Agreement, dated November 7, 2010, between the Company and GSK (the Collaboration Agreement). Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, the Company had granted to GSK exclusive commercialization and certain development rights in the United States to Horizant® (gabapentin enacarbil) Extended-Release Tablets. The termination of the Collaboration Agreement was effected pursuant to a Termination and Transition Agreement entered into between the parties on November 8, 2012 (the Termination Agreement), with the termination of the Collaboration Agreement effective on that date. The Termination Agreement also provided for a mutual release of claims and resolved all ongoing litigation between the parties.
Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, during a transition period that ended on April 30, 2013 (the Transition Period), GSK continued to exclusively commercialize, promote, manufacture and distribute Horizant in the United States. The exclusive rights granted by XenoPort to GSK pursuant to the Termination Agreement to commercialize, promote, manufacture and distribute Horizant in the United States terminated on April 30, 2013. Accordingly, on May 1, 2013, the Company completed the reacquisition of rights to Horizant, when under the terms of the Termination Agreement, XenoPort reacquired the exclusive rights to commercialize, promote, manufacture and distribute Horizant in the United States and assumed all responsibilities for any further development, manufacturing and commercialization of Horizant in the United States beginning on that date.
Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, GSK transferred certain assets related to the Horizant product to XenoPort in connection with XenoPorts reacquisition of the exclusive Horizant development, manufacturing and commercialization rights. In addition, GSK agreed to provide to XenoPort inventory of gabapentin enacarbil in GSKs possession that is not required for use by GSK in the manufacture of Horizant. In exchange for such inventory, XenoPort is obligated to make annual payments to GSK of $1.0 million for six years beginning in 2016. XenoPort also elected to have GSK continue to supply Horizant tablets to XenoPort for up to an additional six months following the end of the Transition Period on pricing terms established under the Termination Agreement. GSK also agreed to continue to fully fund the costs associated with the management and conduct of clinical studies initiated by GSK prior to the date of the Termination Agreement.
In connection with the Termination Agreement and pursuant to a separate stock purchase agreement entered into between the Company and GSK on November 8, 2012, GSK purchased $20,000,000 of the Companys common stock, or an aggregate of 1,841,112 shares at $10.863 per share, which per share price represented a 12.5 percent premium to the average of the closing prices of the Companys common stock for the ten trading days prior to October 31, 2012. In addition, on November 9, 2012, the Company exercised a put option requiring GSK to purchase an additional 2,190,100 shares of the Companys common stock at $9.132 per share, which per share price represented a 12.5 percent premium to the average of the closing prices of the Companys common stock for the ten trading days prior to November 9, 2012.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Termination Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.31 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on March 14, 2013.
Forward-Looking Statements
This current report contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, all statements related to GSK continuing to conduct and fund clinical trials; GSK continuing to supply Horizant tablets to XenoPort for up to an additional six months following the end of the Transition Period; and the further development, manufacturing and commercialization of Horizant in the United States by XenoPort. These forward-looking statements are based upon XenoPorts current expectations. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.
