DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1981. We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and delivering important therapeutics, conducting clinical research in areas of unmet need and creating education and support programs for the patients and families we serve. Our currently marketed products support the health of patients in the areas of maternal and women’s health, anemia management and cancer supportive care, including Makena^® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection), Feraheme^® (ferumoxytol) for intravenous use, MuGard^® Mucoadhesive Oral Wound Rinse, and Intrarosa^®(prasterone) vaginal inserts for the treatment of moderate-to-severe dyspareunia, a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (“VVA”), due to menopause. Through services related to the preservation of umbilical cord blood stem cell and cord tissue units (the “CBR Services”) operated through Cord Blood Registry^®(“CBR”), we also help families to preserve newborn stem cells, which are used today in transplant medicine for certain cancers and blood, immune and metabolic disorders, and which we believe have the potential to play a valuable role in the ongoing development of regenerative medicine. In addition, in February 2017, we acquired the rights to research, develop and commercialize bremelanotide in North America, which is being developed for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in pre-menopausal women.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Company,” “AMAG,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”
