DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1981. We are a pharmaceutical company focused on bringing innovative products to patients with unmet medical needs by leveraging our development and commercial expertise to invest in and grow our pharmaceutical products across a range of therapeutic areas. 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 Feraheme^® (ferumoxytol injection) for intravenous use, Makena^® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection), Intrarosa^® (prasterone) vaginal inserts and MuGard^® Mucoadhesive Oral Wound Rinse. In addition to our marketed products, our portfolio includes three product candidates, Vyleesi™ (bremelanotide), which is under review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in pre-menopausal women, AMAG-423 (digoxin immune fab (ovine)), which is being studied for the treatment of severe preeclampsia, and ciraparantag, which is being studied as an anticoagulant reversal agent.

On January 16, 2019, we acquired Perosphere Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Perosphere”) through the merger of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Magellan Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with and into Perosphere, with Perosphere continuing as the surviving entity and our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). As a result of the acquisition of Perosphere, we acquired the global rights to ciraparantag, an anticoagulant reversal agent, which is being investigated for patients treated with novel oral anticoagulants or low molecular weight heparin when reversal of the anticoagulant effect of these products is needed for emergency surgery, urgent procedures or due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. See Note Q, “Acquisitions, Collaboration, License and Other Strategic Agreements” for further details on the Perosphere acquisition.

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.”
