Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 8, 2015, Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (“Tribute”) and POZEN Inc. (“POZEN”) issued a joint press release announcing the acquisition of Tribute by POZEN, as described below in Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K.  The full text of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K, and shall not be deemed filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On June 8, 2015, Tribute and Pozen and certain other parties entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Arrangement (the “Agreement”).  In connection with the Agreement, POZEN formed a new company, to be named Aralez Pharmaceuticals Limited, organized under the laws of Ireland (“Aralez”). Pursuant to the Agreement, an indirect U.S. subsidiary of Aralez will merge with POZEN, with POZEN surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aralez. Similarly, an indirect Canadian subsidiary of Aralez will acquire Tribute, through a plan of arrangement, with Tribute surviving as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Aralez.  At closing, each share of POZEN common stock will be converted into the right to receive one Aralez ordinary share and each common share of Tribute (other than dissenting shares) will be exchanged for 0.1455 Aralez ordinary shares.  Upon closing, it is expected that Aralez will re-register as a public limited company in Ireland and be named Aralez Pharmaceuticals plc. Aralez will apply to list its ordinary shares on NASDAQ and the TSX.
