AMAG PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
A. Description of Business
AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1981. We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of Feraheme® (ferumoxytol) Injection for Intravenous, or IV, use to treat iron deficiency anemia, or IDA. Currently, our principal source of revenue is from the sale of Feraheme, which was approved for marketing in the U.S. in June 2009 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, for use as an IV iron replacement therapy for the treatment of IDA in adult patients with chronic kidney disease, or CKD. We began commercial sale of Feraheme in the U.S. in July 2009 through our own commercial organization, including a specialty sales force. We sell Feraheme to authorized wholesalers and specialty distributors, who in turn, sell Feraheme to healthcare providers who administer Feraheme primarily within hospitals, hematology and oncology centers, and nephrology clinics.
Outside of the U.S., ferumoxytol has been granted marketing approval in Canada, Switzerland and the European Union, or EU, for use as an IV iron replacement therapy for the treatment of IDA in adult patients with CKD. The European marketing authorization is valid in the current EU member states as well as in Iceland and Norway. Under our amended agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda, Takeda has an exclusive license to market and sell ferumoxytol in Canada, the EU and Switzerland, as well as certain other geographic territories. In Canada, Takeda promotes ferumoxytol under the trade name Feraheme and in the EU and Switzerland, Takeda promotes ferumoxytol under the trade name Rienso® 30mg/ml solution for Injection.
We are working to continue to grow Feraheme in the U.S. CKD market and to drive additional growth of Feraheme through both international and label expansion. To further build our business, we intend to expand our portfolio through the in-license or purchase of additional marketed specialty pharmaceutical products. We are seeking complementary products that will leverage our commercial infrastructure and focus on hematology and oncology centers, hospital infusion centers or other sites of care where IV iron is administered or where IDA patients are diagnosed or treated. We are also looking at the potential addition of products outside of our current sales forces call points, which could be synergistic with our goal of expanding the Feraheme IV iron market through increased referrals from certain physician specialists, such as gastroenterologists.
We are subject to risks common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, our sole dependence on the success of Feraheme/Rienso, uncertainties related to the protection of our proprietary technology, our dependence on third parties to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso, the potential development of significant safety or drug interaction problems with respect to Feraheme/Rienso, uncertainty of the regulatory approval process for the broader Feraheme/Rienso indication or for potential alternative manufacturing facilities and processes, uncertainties related to potential collaborations, in-licensing arrangements or acquisition agreements, competition in our industry, uncertainties regarding market acceptance of Feraheme/Rienso, our reliance on a limited number of customers, uncertainties related to patient insurance coverage and third-party reimbursement rates and terms for Feraheme/Rienso, our reliance on Takeda to commercialize Feraheme/Rienso in certain territories outside of the U.S., the potential inability of our third-party manufacturers to operate their facilities in compliance with current good manufacturing practices and manufacture sufficient quantities of Feraheme/Rienso, uncertainties related to the impact of current and future healthcare initiatives and legislation, our or our third-party manufacturers potential inability to obtain raw or other materials, our potential inadvertent failure to
comply with reporting and payment obligations under government pricing programs, our potential inability to become profitable in the future, our limited experience commercializing and distributing a pharmaceutical product, our dependence on key personnel, the potential fluctuation of our operating results, potential differences between actual future results and the estimates or assumptions used by us in preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, our potential inadvertent failure to comply with the regulations of the FDA or other federal, state or foreign government agencies, the volatility of our stock price, uncertainties related to the actions of activist stockholders, potential product liability, potential legislative and regulatory changes, and potential costs and liabilities associated with pending or future litigation or patent challenges.
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Company, we, us, or our.
B. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reports and the instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Our accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The most significant estimates and assumptions are used in, but are not limited to, revenue recognition related to product sales and collaboration agreements, product sales allowances and accruals, assessing investments for potential other-than-temporary impairment and determining values of investments, estimates used to measure the fair value of our assets held for sale, accrued expenses, income taxes and equity-based compensation expense. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, AMAG Europe Limited and AMAG Securities Corporation. AMAG Europe Limited was incorporated in October 2009 in London, England. AMAG Securities Corporation is a Massachusetts corporation which was incorporated in August 2007. All intercompany account balances and transactions between the companies have been eliminated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under current accounting standards, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Current accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy used to categorize how fair value is measured and which is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the third unobservable, as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We hold certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including our cash equivalents and investments. The following tables represent the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 for those assets that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

With the exception of our money market funds, the fair value of our investments is primarily determined from independent pricing services which use Level 2 inputs to determine fair value. Independent pricing services normally derive security prices from recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments based upon other significant observable market transactions. At the end of each reporting period, we perform quantitative and qualitative analyses of prices received from third parties to determine whether prices are reasonable estimates of fair value. After completing our analyses, we did not adjust or override any fair value measurements provided by our pricing services as of either March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. In addition, there were no transfers or reclassifications of any securities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Assets Held for Sale
During 2012, we determined that certain assets related to our Cambridge, Massachusetts manufacturing facility, including the related land, building and certain equipment, met the criteria established by current accounting guidance for classifying assets as held for sale. As a result, during 2012, we reclassified these assets from property and equipment to assets held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In anticipation of a future sale, we valued these assets at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell to arrive at the estimated fair value of $2.0 million as of December 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we sold $0.4 million of equipment related to our Cambridge, Massachusetts manufacturing facility. In connection with these sales, we recorded a gain of $0.3 million and reduced the carrying value of our assets held for sale by $0.1 million to $1.9 million. The fair values of the land, building, and equipment were estimated using Level 3 inputs, which included offers received from potential purchasers, real estate appraisals and other estimates from third-parties.
Revenue Recognition and Related Sales Allowances and Accruals
We recognize revenue from the sale of Feraheme/Rienso as well as license fee and other collaboration revenues, including milestone payments, other product sale revenues, and royalties we receive from our licensees. We recognize revenue in accordance with current accounting guidance related to the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements, which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure of revenue in financial statements.
We record product sales allowances and accruals related to prompt payment discounts, chargebacks, government and other rebates, distributor, wholesaler and group purchasing organization, or GPO, fees, and product returns as a reduction of revenue in our condensed consolidated statement of operations at the time product sales are recorded. Calculating these gross-to-net sales adjustments involves estimates and judgments based primarily on actual Feraheme sales data, forecasted customer buying patterns, and market research data related to utilization rates by various end-users. In addition, we also monitor our distribution
channel to determine whether additional allowances or accruals are required based on inventory in our sales channel.
An analysis of our product sales allowances and accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

We generally offer our wholesalers, specialty distributors and other customers a limited right to return product purchased directly from us, principally based on the products expiration date which, once packaged, is currently five years in the U.S. Reserves for product returns for U.S. sales are recorded in the period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction to product sales. We evaluate our estimated product returns rate each period based on the historical return patterns and known or expected changes in the marketplace. We did not significantly adjust our reserve for product returns during the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we reduced our reserve by approximately $0.5 million of previously reserved product returns allowance due to the lapse of the product return period on certain manufactured Feraheme lots that carried a two year expiration period. The product returns provision applied to gross product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.2 million as compared to a credit of $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Concentrations and Significant Customer Information
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, investments, and accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2013, our cash, cash equivalents and investments amounted to approximately $217.1 million. We currently invest our excess cash primarily in U.S. government and agency money market funds, and investments in corporate debt securities, U.S. treasury and government agency securities and commercial paper. As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $21.5 million of our total $33.8 million cash and cash equivalents balance invested in institutional money market funds, of which $13.5 million was invested in a single fund, which is collateralized solely by U.S. treasury and government agency securities.
Our operations are located solely within the U.S. We are focused principally on developing, manufacturing, and commercializing Feraheme/Rienso. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral. The following table sets forth customers who represented 10% or more of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

In addition, approximately 30% and 35% of our end-user demand during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, was generated by members of a single GPO with which we have contracted. Revenues from customers outside of the U.S. amounted to approximately 12% and 11% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were related to collaboration revenue recognized in connection with our collaboration agreement with Takeda, which is based in Japan.
C. Investments
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our investments equaled $183.2 million and $180.8 million, respectively, and consisted of securities classified as available-for-sale in accordance with accounting standards which provide guidance related to accounting and classification of certain investments in debt and equity securities.

We did not recognize any unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to our securities during either of the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012. Future events may occur, or additional information may become available, which may cause us to identify credit losses where we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a security and which may necessitate the recording of future realized losses on securities in our portfolio. Significant losses in the estimated fair values of our investments could have a material adverse effect on our earnings in future periods.
Realized Gains and Losses on Investments
Gains and losses are determined on the specific identification method. Realized gains were insignificant during both the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
D. Accounts Receivable, Net
Our net accounts receivable were $8.5 million and $6.4 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and primarily represented amounts due from wholesalers and distributors to whom we sell Feraheme directly. Accounts receivable are recorded net of reserves for estimated chargeback obligations, prompt payment discounts and any allowance for doubtful accounts. Reserves for other sales-related allowances such as rebates, distribution and other fees, and product returns are included in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As part of our credit management policy, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and we have not required collateral from any customer. To date, we have not experienced significant bad debts. Accordingly, we have not established an allowance for doubtful accounts at either March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. If the financial condition of any of our significant customers was to deteriorate and result in an impairment of its ability to make payments owed to us, an allowance for doubtful accounts may be required which could have a material effect on earnings in the period of any such adjustment.
Customers which represented greater than 10% of our accounts receivable balances as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

E. Inventories
Our major classes of inventories were as follows as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

On a quarterly basis, we analyze our inventory levels to determine whether we have any obsolete, expired, or excess inventory. If any inventory is expected to expire prior to being sold, has a cost basis in excess of its net realizable value, is in excess of expected sales requirements as determined by internal sales forecasts, or fails to meet commercial sale specifications, the inventory is written-down through a charge to cost of goods sold. The determination of whether inventory costs will be realizable requires estimates by management. A critical input in this determination is future expected inventory requirements, based on internal sales forecasts and forecasts received from Takeda. Once packaged, Feraheme/Rienso currently has a shelf-life of five years in the U.S. and between two and three years outside of the U.S., and as a result of comparison to internal sales forecasts, we expect to fully realize the
carrying value of our current Feraheme/Rienso inventory. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Charges for inventory write-downs are not reversed if it is later determined that the product is saleable.
F. Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment consisted of the following as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded accelerated depreciation expense of approximately $0.3 million of leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures associated with a portion of our principal executive offices to reflect our current estimate of useful lives of these assets.
G. Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using future enacted rates. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not recognize any tax expense or benefit due to our continued net operating loss position. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets.
H. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands):

The amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 represented realized gains on investments, which are included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations under Gains on Investments, net. There were no reclassifications from other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
I. Net Loss per Share
We compute basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period. The components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

J. Equity-Based Compensation
We currently maintain several equity compensation plans, including our Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2007 Plan, our Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan, or the 2000 Plan, and our 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we also granted equity to our Chief Commercial Officer through an inducement grant that was outside of these plans.
Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan
As of March 31, 2013, we have granted options and restricted stock units covering 6,085,975 shares of common stock under our 2007 Plan, of which 2,409,472 stock options and 619,537 restricted stock units have expired or terminated, and of which 38,900 options have been exercised and 383,200 shares of common stock have been issued pursuant to restricted stock units that became fully vested. The number of options and restricted stock units outstanding under this plan as of March 31, 2013 was 2,259,972 and 374,894, respectively. The remaining number of shares available for future grants as of March 31, 2013 was 954,851, not including shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2000 Plan, which will be added to the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan to the extent that such
awards expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise. All outstanding stock options granted under our 2007 Plan have an exercise price equal to the closing price of a share of our common stock on the grant date and have either a seven or ten-year term.
Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan
As of March 31, 2013, the number of shares underlying outstanding options which were issued pursuant to our 2000 Plan was 114,641. There were no restricted stock units outstanding as of March 31, 2013. In November 2007, the 2000 Plan was succeeded by our 2007 Plan and, accordingly, no further grants may be made under this plan. Any shares that remained available for issuance under the 2000 Plan as of the date of adoption of the 2007 Plan are included in the number of shares that may be issued under the 2007 Plan. Any shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2000 Plan that expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise will be added to the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan.
Other Equity Compensation Grants
In January 2013, in connection with the entry into an employment agreement, our Board of Directors, or Board, granted our Chief Commercial Officer an option to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. The option will be exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Our Chief Commercial Officer was also granted 35,000 restricted stock units, which will vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The foregoing grants were made pursuant to an inducement grant outside of our 2007 Plan as permitted under the NASDAQ Global Market rules. We assessed the terms of these awards and determined there was no possibility that we would have to settle these awards in cash and therefore, equity accounting was applied.
In February 2013, we granted restricted stock units to certain members of our senior management covering a maximum of 82,500 shares of common stock, which are subject to a performance condition tied to the price of our common stock. These restricted stock units vest, if at all, at the end of the three-year period ending December 31, 2015 based on the achievement of a minimum, target or maximum stock price range. In the event that the minimum stock price range is not achieved at the measurement date, none of the restricted stock units will vest. The total fair value of these restricted stock units is $0.7 million, which we will recognize to expense over a period of three years from the date of grant, net of any estimated and actual forfeitures.
Equity-based compensation expense
Equity-based compensation expense, excluding amounts that have been capitalized into inventory, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (in thousands):

We reduce the equity-based compensation expense being recognized to account for estimated forfeitures, which we estimate based primarily on historical experience, adjusted for unusual events such as our corporate restructuring in 2012, which resulted in higher than expected turnover and forfeitures in that year. Under current accounting guidance, forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
K. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We accrue a liability for legal contingencies when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. We review these accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and our views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in our accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. For the matters referenced below, the liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made. In addition, in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance, for any matters in which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible, we will provide disclosure of the possible loss or range of loss. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made, however, we will provide disclosure to that effect.
A purported class action complaint was originally filed on March 18, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, entitled Silverstrand Investments et. al. v. AMAG Pharm., Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 1:10-CV-10470-NMG, and was amended on September 15, 2010 and on December 17, 2010. The second amended complaint, or SAC, filed on December 17, 2010 alleged that we and our former President and Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Financial Officer, the then members of our Board, and certain underwriters in our January 2010 offering of common stock violated certain federal securities laws, specifically Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that our former President and Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer violated Section 15 of such Act, respectively, by making certain alleged false and misleading statements and omissions in a registration statement filed in January 2010. The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock pursuant to our common stock offering on or about January 21, 2010. On August 11, 2011, the District Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the SAC in its entirety for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. A separate Order of Dismissal was filed on August 15, 2011. On September 14, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, or the Court of Appeals. After briefing was completed by all parties, the Court of Appeals heard oral argument on May 11, 2012. On February 4, 2013, the Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part the District Courts Opinion and Order, and remanded the case to the District Court. On February 19, 2013, we filed a Petition for Panel Hearing Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc, asking the Court of Appeals to reconsider its decision. On March 15, 2013, the Court of Appeals denied this petition. On March 22, 2013, we filed a Motion to Stay the Mandate remanding the case to the District Court pending review of the Court of Appeals February 4, 2013 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals granted this Motion to Stay the Mandate on April 8, 2013, and any petition for writ of certiorari must be filed by June 13, 2013. We are currently unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the range of potential loss associated with this matter, if any, and have therefore not recorded any potential estimated liability as we do not believe that such a liability is probable nor do we believe that a range of loss is currently estimable.
In July 2010, Sandoz GmbH, or Sandoz, filed with the European Patent Office, or the EPO, an opposition to our previously issued patent which covers ferumoxytol in the EU. In October 2012, at an oral hearing, the Opposition Division of the EPO revoked our European ferumoxytol patent. In December 2012, our notice of appeal was recorded with the EPO, which suspended the revocation of our patent. We will continue to defend the validity of this patent throughout the appeals process, which we expect to take two to three years. However, in the event that we do not experience a successful outcome from the appeals process, under EU regulations ferumoxytol would still be entitled to eight years of data protection and ten years of market exclusivity from the date of approval, which we believe would create barriers to entry for any generic version of ferumoxytol into the EU market until sometime between 2020 and 2022. This decision had no impact on our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013. However, any future unfavorable outcome in this matter could negatively affect the magnitude and timing of future revenues, including royalties and milestone payments we may receive from Takeda pursuant to our collaboration
agreement with Takeda. We do not expect to incur any related liability regardless of the outcome of the appeal and therefore have not recorded any liability as of March 31, 2013. We continue to believe the patent is valid and intend to vigorously appeal the decision.
We may periodically become subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with ongoing business activities, including claims or disputes related to product liability matters or related to patents that have been issued or that are pending in the field of research on which we are focused. Other than the above actions, we are not aware of any material claims against us as of March 31, 2013. We expense legal costs as they are incurred.

Our commercial strategy includes the formation of collaborations with other pharmaceutical companies to facilitate the sale and distribution of Feraheme/Rienso, primarily outside of the U.S. In addition to our collaborative agreements described in Note N to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we were a party to the following collaborations as of March 31, 2013:
Takeda
In March 2010, we entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement, or the Takeda Agreement, with Takeda under which we granted exclusive rights to Takeda to develop and commercialize Feraheme/Rienso as a therapeutic agent in Europe, certain Asia-Pacific countries (excluding Japan, China and Taiwan), the Commonwealth of Independent States, Canada, India and Turkey. In June 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Takeda Agreement, or the Amended Takeda Agreement, which removed the Commonwealth of Independent States from the territories under which Takeda has the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Feraheme/Rienso. In addition, the Amended Takeda Agreement modified the timing and pricing arrangements for a supply agreement to be entered into between us and Takeda in the future, the terms related to primary and secondary manufacturing for drug substance and drug product, certain patent related provisions, and the re-allocation of certain of the agreed-upon milestone payments. We analyzed the Amended Takeda Agreement and determined that the amended terms did not result in a material modification of the original Takeda Agreement (and thus did not require us to change our accounting model) because (i) there were no changes to the deliverables under the original Takeda Agreement as a result of the amendment, and (ii) the change in arrangement consideration as a result of the amendment was not quantitatively material in relation to the total arrangement consideration.
Under the Amended Takeda Agreement, except under limited circumstances, we have retained the right to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso and, accordingly, are responsible for supply of Feraheme/Rienso to Takeda at a fixed price per unit, which is capped for a certain period of time. We are also responsible for conducting, and bearing the costs related to, certain pre-defined clinical studies with the costs of future modifications or additional studies to be allocated between the parties according to an agreed-upon cost-sharing mechanism. We have determined that our obligations under the Amended Takeda Agreement have not changed from those under the original Takeda Agreement and include the following four deliverables: the license, access to future know-how and improvements to the Feraheme/Rienso technology, regulatory and clinical research activities, and the manufacturing and supply of product. Pursuant to the accounting guidance in effect in March 2010, when we signed the original Takeda Agreement and which governed revenue recognition on multiple element arrangements, we evaluated the four deliverables under the original Takeda Agreement and determined that our obligation to provide manufacturing supply of product meets the criteria for separation and is therefore treated as a single unit of accounting, which we refer to as the supply unit of accounting. Further, we concluded that the license
is not separable from the undelivered future know-how and technological improvements or the undelivered regulatory and clinical research activities. Accordingly, these deliverables are being combined and also treated as a single unit of accounting, which we refer to as the combined unit of accounting. With respect to the combined unit of accounting, our obligation to provide access to our future know-how and technological improvements is the final deliverable and is an obligation which exists throughout the term of the Amended Takeda Agreement.
In connection with the execution of the original Takeda Agreement, we received a $60.0 million upfront payment from Takeda in April 2010, which we recorded as deferred revenue, as well as approximately $1.0 million reimbursed to us during 2010 for certain expenses incurred prior to entering the agreement, which we considered an additional upfront payment. Because we cannot reasonably estimate the total level of effort required to complete the obligations under the combined deliverable, we are recognizing the entire $60.0 million upfront payment, the $1.0 million reimbursed to us in 2010, as well as any non-substantive milestone payments that are achieved into revenues on a straight-line basis over a period of ten years from March 31, 2010, the date on which we originally entered the Takeda Agreement, which represented the then-current patent life of Feraheme/Rienso and our best estimate of the period over which we will substantively perform our obligations. We continue to believe that the then-current patent life of Feraheme/Rienso is our best estimate of the period over which we will substantively perform our obligations under this agreement. In addition, the remaining milestone payments we may be entitled to receive under the agreement could over time equal up to $186.0 million. For any milestone payments we may receive based upon the approval by certain regulatory agencies, we have determined that these will be deemed substantive milestones and, therefore, will be accounted for as revenue in the period in which they are achieved. We have also determined that any non-substantive milestone payments will be accounted for in accordance with our revenue attribution method for the upfront payment, as described above. During 2012, we received an aggregate of $18.0 million in milestone payments from Takeda associated with the commercial launches of Feraheme/Rienso in Canada and the EU, which we deemed to be non-substantive milestone payments. Revenues related to the combined unit of accounting are recorded in license fee and other collaboration revenues in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded $2.0 million in revenues related to non-substantive milestone payments. Of this $2.0 million, $1.5 million was associated with the upfront payments and $0.5 million was associated with the $18.0 million in non-substantive milestone payments we received in 2012. Any potential non-substantive milestone payments that may be received in the future will be recognized as revenue on a cumulative catch up basis when they become due and payable.
We have received and may also receive additional regulatory approval and performance-based milestone payments, reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket regulatory and clinical supply costs, defined payments for supply of Feraheme/Rienso, and tiered double-digit royalties on net product sales in the agreed-upon territories under the Amended Takeda Agreement.
Under the terms of the Amended Takeda Agreement, Takeda is responsible for reimbursing us for certain out-of-pocket regulatory and clinical trial supply costs associated with carrying out our regulatory and clinical research activities under the collaboration agreement. Because we are acting as the principal in carrying out these services, any reimbursement payments received from Takeda are recorded in license fee and other collaboration revenues in our condensed consolidated statement of operations to match the costs that we incur during the period in which we perform those services. We recorded less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 associated with other reimbursement revenues received from Takeda.
At the time of shipment, we defer recognition of all revenue for Feraheme/Rienso sold to our licensees in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognize revenues from product sales to our licensees, the related cost of goods sold, as well as any royalty revenues due from our licensees, in our condensed
consolidated statement of operations at the time our licensees report to us that sales have been made to its customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized less than $0.1 million in product sales and royalty revenue related to the Amended Takeda Agreement and we have included this revenue in international product sales and royalties in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $1.1 million in deferred revenue related to product shipped to Takeda, but not yet sold through to Takedas customers and $1.0 million in deferred cost of product sales, which are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
M. Restructuring
During 2012 and 2011, we initiated corporate restructurings, including a workforce reduction plan for which we recorded $2.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of restructuring related costs, primarily related to employee severance and benefits. The majority of the workforce reduction plan in 2012 was associated with our manufacturing and development infrastructure, including our decision to divest our Cambridge, Massachusetts manufacturing facility. Of the $2.2 million in restructuring expense in 2012, approximately $1.5 million was related to employee severance and benefits, and approximately $0.7 million was related to the write-down of primarily raw material inventory that was no longer usable due to the closure of the facility. The workforce reductions were substantially completed by the end of 2012 and the majority of the related expenses were paid by the end of 2012.
The following table outlines the components of our restructuring expenses which were recorded in operating expenses and current liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

N. Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI. The amendment expands the existing disclosure by requiring entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to provide information about the effects on net income of significant amounts reclassified out of each component of AOCI to net income either on the face of the income statement or as a separate disclosure in the notes of the financial statements. The amendment is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2012. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures. See Note H for additional information regarding AOCI.

Overview
AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1981. We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of Feraheme® (ferumoxytol) Injection for Intravenous, or IV, use to treat iron deficiency anemia, or IDA. Currently, our principal source of revenue is from the sale of Feraheme, which was approved for marketing in the U.S. in June 2009 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, for use as an IV iron replacement therapy for the treatment of IDA in adult patients with chronic kidney disease, or CKD. We began commercial sale of Feraheme in the U.S. in July 2009 through our own commercial organization, including a specialty sales force. We sell Feraheme to authorized wholesalers and specialty distributors, who in turn, sell Feraheme to healthcare providers who administer Feraheme primarily within hospitals, hematology and oncology centers, and nephrology clinics.
We are working to continue to grow Feraheme in the U.S. CKD market and to drive additional growth of Feraheme through both international and label expansion. To further build our business, we intend to expand our portfolio through the in-license or purchase of additional marketed specialty pharmaceutical products. We are seeking complementary products that will leverage our commercial infrastructure and focus on hematology and oncology centers, hospital infusion centers or other sites of care where IV iron is administered or where IDA patients are diagnosed or treated. We are also looking at the potential addition of products outside of our current sales forces call points, which could be synergistic with our goal of expanding the Feraheme IV iron market through increased referrals from certain physician specialists, such as gastroenterologists.
International Expansion
Outside of the U.S., ferumoxytol has been granted marketing approval in Canada, Switzerland and the European Union, or EU, for use as an IV iron replacement therapy for the treatment of IDA in adult patients with CKD. The European marketing authorization is valid in the current EU member states as well as in Iceland and Norway. Under our amended agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda, Takeda has an exclusive license to market and sell ferumoxytol in Canada, the EU and Switzerland, as well as certain other geographic territories. In Canada, Takeda promotes ferumoxytol under the trade name Feraheme and in the EU and Switzerland, Takeda promotes ferumoxytol under the trade name Rienso® 30mg/ml solution for Injection.
Label Expansion
We believe that a significant opportunity exists in the U.S. for Feraheme beyond the treatment of IDA in adult patients with CKD. In the U.S., approximately 800,000 grams of IV iron were administered for the treatment of non-dialysis patients with IDA in 2012. We believe that approximately half, or 400,000 grams, of the IV iron administered in the U.S. was for the treatment of non-dialysis patients with CKD and the other half was for non-CKD patients with IDA due to other causes, including patients with gastrointestinal diseases or disorders, abnormal uterine bleeding, inflammatory diseases, and chemotherapy-induced anemia.
In 2012, we completed a phase III clinical program for Feraheme in patients with IDA who had failed to or could not use oral iron. The IDA program consisted of two controlled, multi-center phase III clinical trials, or IDA-301 and IDA-302, including more than 1,400 patients, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of ferumoxytol for the treatment of IDA in this broader patient population. Both studies met the primary efficacy endpoints related to improvements in hemoglobin. In these studies no new safety signals were observed with Feraheme treatment and the types of reported adverse events were consistent with those seen in previous studies and those contained in the approved U.S. package insert for Feraheme. In
addition, patients from IDA-301 were eligible to enroll in an open-label extension study, or IDA-303, and receive treatment with Feraheme, as defined in the protocol.
In December 2012, we submitted a supplemental new drug application, or sNDA, to the FDA, seeking approval for Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in adult patients who have failed to or could not use oral iron. The sNDA submission was primarily based on the data from IDA-301 and IDA-302. In addition, the sNDA included data from an interim analysis of IDA-303 and a previously completed post-approval clinical study evaluating Feraheme treatment compared to treatment with another IV iron. We believe that approval for Feraheme for this expanded indication would effectively double the market opportunity for Feraheme, by allowing us to access the half of the IV iron market outside of dialysis that is beyond our current approved indication to treat IDA in adult patients with CKD. In March 2013, the FDA accepted our sNDA for review. Under the guidelines of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, the FDA has set October 21, 2013 as a target date for completion of their review.
We expect that Takeda will file a Type II Variation, which is the EU equivalent of a U.S. sNDA, with the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, in 2013 seeking marketing approval for Rienso for the treatment of IDA in adult patients.
Takeda Collaboration
In March 2010, we entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement, or the Takeda Agreement, with Takeda under which we granted exclusive rights to Takeda to develop and commercialize Feraheme/Rienso as a therapeutic agent in Europe, certain Asia-Pacific countries (excluding Japan, China and Taiwan), Canada, India and Turkey. In June 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Takeda Agreement, or the Amended Takeda Agreement, as discussed in further detail in Note L to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In connection with the 2012 commercial launches of Feraheme/Rienso by Takeda, we recorded revenue from product sales to Takeda and royalties on sales by Takeda of less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $1.1 million in deferred revenue related to product shipped to Takeda, but not yet sold through to Takedas customers and $1.0 million in deferred cost of product sales.
Clinical Development of Feraheme
We have initiated two randomized, active-controlled pediatric studies of Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in pediatric CKD patients to meet our FDA post-approval Pediatric Research Equity Act requirement to support pediatric labeling of Feraheme in the U.S. One study covers dialysis-dependent CKD pediatric patients, and the other covers CKD patients not on dialysis. Each study will assess the safety and efficacy of Feraheme treatment as compared to oral iron in approximately 144 pediatric patients. Both of these pediatric studies are currently open for enrollment with enrollment expected to take several years to complete.
Our pediatric investigation plan, which was a requirement for submission of the Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, for ferumoxytol, was approved by the EMA in December 2009 and amended in 2012, and includes the two pediatric studies needed to meet the requirements of the Pediatric Research Equity Act in the U.S. described above, and two additional pediatric studies requested by the EMA. These studies include a rollover study in pediatric CKD patients and a study in pediatric patients with IDA regardless of the underlying cause. The rollover study is open for enrollment. The pediatric IDA study will commence once the appropriate dose of Feraheme is determined from the study data resulting from the two ongoing pediatric studies of Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in pediatric CKD patients,
described above. In order to increase the rate of enrollment for these studies, in 2012 we amended the protocol to our pediatric investigation plan to modify the patient entry criteria.
As part of our obligations under the Amended Takeda Agreement and as part of our post-approval commitments to the EMA, we are planning to initiate a multi-center clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of repeat doses of ferumoxytol for the treatment of IDA in patients with hemodialysis dependent CKD. As part of the post-approval commitment we made to the EMA as a condition of the approval of the MAA for ferumoxytol in the EU, this study includes a treatment arm with iron sucrose using a magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, sub-analysis to evaluate the potential for iron to accumulate in the body following treatment with IV iron, specifically in the heart and liver, and, where possible, other major organs following repeated IV iron administration over a two year period. We currently expect enrollment to begin in the second quarter of 2013. The costs related to the MRI portion of this study are subject to our established cost-sharing arrangement with Takeda.
From time to time, we or our licensees may sponsor pilot clinical studies or collaborate with investigators on their research ideas to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Feraheme in new indications or alternative dosing regimens.
In addition, certain clinical trials may be necessary to secure desired pricing in various European markets. If so, the cost of any future trials may be allocated between us and Takeda according to the cost-sharing arrangement under the Amended Takeda Agreement.
Our licensee in China, 3SBio Inc., or 3SBio, filed an application with the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration, or the SFDA, to obtain approval to begin a clinical trial necessary to file for marketing approval of Feraheme in China. If approved by the SFDA, 3SBio plans to commence a multi-center randomized efficacy and safety study of Feraheme in China involving approximately 200 CKD patients with IDA.

Total U.S. net product sales increased by $2.0 million, or 14%, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to an increase in Feraheme provider demand and the impact of recent Feraheme price increases. Our gross U.S. product sales increased by $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. This increase in gross product sales was partially offset by $2.5 million of additional allowances related to customer discounts and chargebacks in 2013, excluding a $0.5 million credit related to changes in estimated product return reserves that we recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Total discounts and chargebacks in the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $7.5 million, or 29% of total gross U.S. product sales, as compared to $5.9 million, or 28% of total gross U.S. product sales, in the same period of 2012. The increase in total discounts and chargebacks as a percentage of total gross U.S. product sales in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 represents changes in our customer mix reflecting a larger volume of sales to customers receiving a higher customer discount off the gross sales price of Feraheme including institutions covered by the 340B Drug Discount Program under the Public Health Service Act, or 340B institutions. Since these institutions are granted lower prices than those offered to our other customers, any further growth in the 340B business may have a negative impact on our net revenue per gram and gross margins. Total government and other rebates
were $2.4 million, or 9% of total gross U.S. product sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1.5 million, or 7% of total gross U.S. product sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in total government and other rebates as a percentage of gross U.S. product sales was related primarily to new customers and increased volumes of sales that are covered by volume or market share rebates offered in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we reduced our reserve for product returns by approximately $0.5 million due to the lapse of the product return period on certain manufactured Feraheme lots that carried a two year expiration. As a result, the product returns provision applied to gross product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was a credit of $0.3 million resulting in an increase to product sales during that period. We did not make any adjustment to our reserve for product returns during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Actual returns to date have been limited. In future periods, we may be required to adjust our estimates based on additional experience or other changes in expectations, which would result in a corresponding change to our net product sales in the period in which the change is made and could be significant. If actual future results vary from any of our estimates, we may need to adjust our previous estimates, which would also affect our earnings in the period of the adjustment.
For further details related to our revenue recognition and related sales allowances policy, refer to our critical accounting policies included in Part II, Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report and Note B to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we decreased our product sales allowances and accruals by approximately $0.6 million for changes in estimates relating to sales in prior years. The $0.6 million adjustments in the three months ended March 31, 2012 were primarily caused by the reduction of our reserve by $0.5 million for previously reserved returns, as discussed above. We did not record any changes in estimates relating to sales in prior years during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Overall, we expect that our reserves as a percentage of gross sales will increase slightly during the remainder of 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 due primarily to our efforts to continue to increase adoption and utilization of Feraheme, our efforts to address continuing reimbursement pressures, our entry into new volume or market share based contracts which offer discounts and rebates, and the expected customer mix and utilization rates. We recently implemented gross price increases for Feraheme, some of which was discounted back to customers under volume or market share based contracts. We anticipate that the effect of these price increases should offset the impact of the widening gross to net adjustment and that the average net revenue per gram of Feraheme should increase in future periods. However, this trend could be negatively affected based on recent sequestration required by the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, as discussed below.
There are a number of factors that make it difficult to predict the magnitude of future Feraheme sales, including but not limited to, the following:
· The magnitude and timing of adoption of Feraheme by physicians, hospitals and other healthcare payors and providers;
· Any expansion or contraction of the overall size of the IV iron market, which could result from a number of factors including but not limited to, changes in treatment guidelines or practices related to IDA;
· The introduction of new competitive products in the iron replacement therapeutic market, such as Injectafer®, if approved or generic versions of new or currently available drug therapies;
· The effect of federal and other legislation such as The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, or the Health Care Reform Act, and the Budget Control Act of 2011, including the effect of the recent federal budget sequester on Medicare reimbursement rates which may cause a shift in where patients are treated to sites of care that have a lower mandated price for Feraheme, such as 340B institutions;
· The inventory levels maintained by Feraheme wholesalers, distributors and other customers;
· The frequency of re-orders by existing customers;
· The fees charged, and reserves required, related to fees for services provided to wholesalers, distributors, group purchasing organizations, or GPOs, and others involved in the purchase or distribution of Feraheme;
· The impact of any actual or perceived safety or efficacy issues with Feraheme; and
· The impact of and any actions taken by us or our competitors to address pricing and reimbursement considerations related to Feraheme or products that compete with Feraheme.
As a result of these and other factors, future Feraheme sales could vary significantly from quarter to quarter and, accordingly, our Feraheme net product revenues in current or previous quarters may not be indicative of future Feraheme net product revenues.
Recent Healthcare Reform Legislation
The Health Care Reform Act was enacted in the U.S. in March 2010 and includes certain cost containment measures including an increase to the minimum rebates for products covered by Medicaid programs and the extension of such rebates to drugs dispensed to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations as well as the expansion of the 340B Drug Discount Program under the Public Health Service Act. This legislation contains provisions that can affect the operational results of companies in the pharmaceutical industry, including us, and other healthcare related industries by requiring them to pay additional rebate costs. For example, in the first quarter of 2010, the minimum statutory Medicaid rebate to states participating in the Medicaid program increased from 15.1% to 23.1%. Given the relatively small portion of our sales that are subject to Medicaid claims, this increase in the minimum Medicaid rebate did not materially reduce our product revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The Health Care Reform Act also requires pharmaceutical manufacturers to pay a prorated share of the overall Branded Drug Fee, based on the dollar value of its branded prescription drug sales to certain federal programs identified in the legislation. The amount of our annual share of the Branded Drug Fee for each of 2013 and 2012 was less than $0.1 million and these payments were non-deductible for income tax purposes. We have included these amounts in selling, general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amount of this annual payment could increase in future years due to both higher eligible Feraheme sales and the increasing amount of the overall fee assessed across manufacturers, but any such increases are not expected to be material to our results of operations or financial condition.
In addition, the number of 340B institutions, which provide drugs at reduced rates, was expanded by the Health Care Reform Act to include additional hospitals. The volume of Feraheme business sold to 340B eligible entities is growing faster than the volume of Feraheme business sold to other customers to which we sell, partially as the result of the expansion of 340B eligible entities under the Health Care Reform Act. Feraheme demand within 340B institutions has grown 31% since the first quarter of 2012 as compared to 11% growth in total Feraheme demand during the same period. Because of the federal pricing discounts granted to these 340B institutions, the revenue realized per unit of Feraheme sold to 340B institutions is lower than from other customers and this change in the mix of our business contributed to the increase in discounts in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.
Further, under the sequestration required by the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Medicare payments for all items and services under Parts A and B incurred on or after April 1, 2013 have been reduced by up to 2%. Therefore, after adjustment for deductible and co-insurance, the reimbursement rate for physician-administered drugs including Feraheme, under Medicare Part B has been reduced from average selling price, or ASP, plus 6% to ASP plus 4.3%. Because the majority of our business is through hematology/oncology clinics and out-patient hospital infusions centers, this reduction in the Medicare reimbursement payment for Feraheme may adversely impact our future revenues. We have not determined the magnitude of the impact of this reduction in Medicare reimbursement rate on our net sales; however, beginning in April 2013, we amended certain of our customer contracts to try to partially address the impact of sequestration on our customers and their patients. These changes could cause our discounts and rebates to rise in future periods and negatively impact our net sales.
International Product Sales and Royalties
We record all international product sales and royalties for Feraheme/Rienso sold to Takeda in deferred revenues in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We recognize these deferred revenues, and the associated cost of product sales, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations at the time Takeda reports to us that sales have been made to its customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we
recognized less than $0.1 million in product sales and royalty revenue related to the Amended Takeda Agreement and we have included this revenue in international product sales and royalties in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Takeda launched Feraheme/Rienso in Canada, Switzerland and the EU in 2012. As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $1.1 million in deferred revenue related to product shipped to Takeda, but not yet sold through to Takedas customers and $1.0 million in deferred cost of product sales, which are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Our license fee and other collaboration revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $0.3 million as compared to the same period in 2012. During 2012, we received an aggregate of $18.0 million of milestone payments related to the commercial launches of Feraheme/Rienso in Canada and the EU, which we deemed non-substantive milestones and are amortizing into revenue using the proportional performance method extended over the original life of the Takeda Agreement. As a result, we have included $0.5 million of the $18.0 million in our license fee and other collaboration revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2013. We did not receive any milestone payments in or prior to the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $12.6 million remaining in deferred revenues related to the $18.0 million milestone payments received from Takeda in 2012.
In addition, during each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded $1.5 million of revenues associated with the amortization of $61.0 million of deferred revenues recorded in connection with the original Takeda Agreement. The $61.0 million of deferred revenues was comprised of a $60.0 million upfront payment which we received from Takeda in April 2010, as well as approximately $1.0 million reimbursed to us during 2010 for certain expenses incurred prior to entering the agreement, which we considered an additional upfront payment. As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $42.7 million remaining in deferred revenues related to the $61.0 million upfront payments received from Takeda.
Under the terms of the Amended Takeda Agreement, Takeda is responsible for reimbursing us for certain out-of-pocket regulatory and clinical trial supply costs we incur in the conduct of certain regulatory and clinical research activities we manage under the agreement. Because we are acting as the principal in carrying out these activities, any reimbursement payments received from Takeda are recorded in license fee and other collaboration revenues in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and offset the costs that we incur during the period in which we perform those services. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of revenues associated with the reimbursement of out-of pocket regulatory and clinical supply costs in connection with the Amended Takeda Agreement.
We anticipate that our license fee and other collaboration revenues will remain relatively stable for the remainder of 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Other Product Sales and Royalties
Other product sales and royalties include product sales of GastroMARK to our licensees as well as royalties received from our licensees sales of GastroMARK. The $0.1 million increase in our other product sales and royalties in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 was due to increased GastroMARK sales to our licensees in order to fulfill our final obligations under agreements with our GastroMARK licensees, which were terminated in 2012. We have since ceased commercially manufacturing and selling GastroMARK.

Cost of product sales are primarily comprised of manufacturing costs, costs of managing our contract manufacturers, and costs for quality assurance and quality control associated with our sales of Feraheme in the U.S., international sales of Feraheme/Rienso, and GastroMARK sales to our licensees. Cost of product sales increased by $0.3 million, or 11%, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in our cost of product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, was due to a higher average production cost of certain vials sold in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as well as additional Feraheme vials sold in the three months ended March 31, 2013, partially offset by a decrease in general manufacturing costs primarily related to the closure of our Cambridge, Massachusetts manufacturing facility.
We expect our cost of product sales as a percentage of net product sales and royalties to decrease for the remainder of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to the effects of our 2012 decision to close our Cambridge, Massachusetts manufacturing facility and outsource the manufacture of Feraheme/Rienso as well as the 2012 termination of our commercial license agreements related to our decision to no longer manufacture GastroMARK.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include external expenses, such as costs of clinical trials, contract research and development expenses, investigator-sponsored research, certain manufacturing research and development costs, manufacturing process improvement costs, regulatory filing fees, consulting and professional fees and expenses, and internal expenses, such as compensation of employees engaged in research and development activities, the manufacture of product needed to support research and development efforts, related costs of facilities, and other general costs related to research and development. Where possible, we track our external costs by major project. To the extent that external costs are not attributable to a specific project or activity, they are included in other external costs. Prior to the initial regulatory approval of our products or development of new manufacturing processes, costs associated with manufacturing process development and the manufacture of drug product are recorded as
research and development expenses. Subsequent to initial regulatory approval, costs associated with the manufacture of our products for commercial sale are capitalized in inventory and recorded as cost of product sales when sold.

Total research and development expenses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $7.1 million, or 57%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The $7.1 million decrease was primarily due to reduced external research and development costs of $6.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In addition, internal research and development costs decreased by $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.
The $6.7 million decrease in our external research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, was due primarily to a $6.3 million decrease in costs incurred in connection with our Phase III clinical development program for Feraheme to treat IDA regardless of the underlying cause, which was completed in 2012. In addition, manufacturing process development and material costs decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 resulting from the write-off of pre-approved inventory in the three months ended March 31, 2012, which we no longer believed was suitable for sale.
The $0.3 million, or 8%, decrease in internal research and development expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to the decrease in compensation and related benefits following our 2012 corporate restructurings, which resulted in lower headcount in our research and development departments, partially offset by incremental equity-based compensation expense resulting from the departure of our chief medical officer in the first quarter of 2013.
Research and Development Activities
We expect research and development expenses to fluctuate for the remainder of 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 and to decrease overall during 2013 as compared to 2012. The quarterly fluctuations will primarily be due to the costs associated with our pediatric studies as well as our post-approval commitment related to the 2012 approval of the Rienso MAA by the EMA, as well as other miscellaneous research- and development-related activities and manufacturing process development costs in support of our Feraheme/Rienso development programs. If enrollment in these clinical studies progresses faster than planned or the development of certain manufacturing process improvements proceeds as planned, we could experience an increase in our research and development expenses in future periods as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. If enrollment in the clinical studies is slower or the manufacturing costs proceed slower, then our research and development expenses for the remainder of 2013 will be more consistent with those incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Overall, we expect research and development expenses during 2013 to decrease, as compared to 2012, primarily due to the 2012 completion of our Phase III clinical development program for Feraheme to treat IDA regardless of the underlying cause and also due to lower compensation and related benefits costs in 2013 following our 2012 corporate restructurings, which resulted in lower headcount in our research and development departments.
We do not track our internal costs by project since our research and development personnel work on a number of projects concurrently and much of our fixed costs benefit multiple projects or our operations in general. We track our external costs on a major project basis, in most cases through the later of the completion of the last trial in the project or the last submission of a regulatory filing to the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory body. The following two major research and development projects are currently ongoing:
· Feraheme to treat IDA regardless of the underlying cause. This project currently includes: (1) a completed Phase III clinical study evaluating Feraheme treatment as compared to treatment with placebo; (2) a completed Phase III clinical study evaluating Feraheme treatment as compared to treatment with another IV iron; and (3) a completed extension study.
· Feraheme to treat IDA in CKD patients. This project currently includes: (1) a completed clinical study evaluating Feraheme treatment as compared to treatment to another IV iron to support the 2010 MAA submission; (2) two ongoing pediatric studies that are being conducted as part of our post-approval Pediatric Research Equity Act requirement to support pediatric CKD labeling of Feraheme; (3) two additional pediatric studies to be completed in accordance with our approved pediatric investigation plan to support the MAA submission; (4) a multi-center clinical trial to be conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of repeat doses of Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in patients with hemodialysis dependent CKD, including a treatment arm with iron sucrose using an MRI sub-analysis to evaluate the potential for iron to accumulate in the body following repeated IV iron administration.
Through March 31, 2013, we have incurred aggregate external research and development expenses of approximately $58.2 million related to our current program for the development of Feraheme to treat IDA regardless of the underlying cause. We currently estimate that the total remaining external costs associated with the efforts needed to complete this development project will be less than $1.0 million, which will be incurred in 2013.
Through March 31, 2013, we have incurred aggregate external research and development expenses of approximately $24.7 million related to our current program for the development of Feraheme to treat IDA in CKD patients. We currently estimate that the total remaining external costs associated with this development project will be in the range of approximately $22.0 to $32.0 million over the next several years.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to our commercial personnel, including our specialty sales force, medical education professionals, pharmacovigilance and safety
monitoring and other commercial support personnel, costs related to our administrative personnel, including our legal, finance, business development, human resources, information technology, investor relations and executive personnel, external and facilities costs required to support the marketing and sale of Feraheme and other costs associated with our corporate activities.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $0.8 million, or 6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 for the following reasons:
· $0.8 million decrease in compensation, payroll taxes and benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 due to reduced headcount in our sales and marketing functions primarily related to the realignment of our sales territories during 2012;
· $0.4 million increase in sales and marketing consulting, professional fees, and other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased costs related to advertising and marketing materials, and certain other general marketing costs in preparation for the potential commercial launch of Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in the broader patient population;
· $1.0 million increase in general and administrative consulting, professional fees and other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased consulting activities to support the upcoming requirements of the Physician Payment Sunshine Act and related regulations, increased legal costs in connection with our intellectual property in the U.S. and Europe and recorded accelerated depreciation expense related to certain leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures associated with a portion of our principal executive offices to reflect our current estimate of useful lives of these assets. Additional accelerated depreciation expense related to leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures could be possible in future periods; and
· $0.1 million increase in equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 due primarily to the expense associated with equity awards to new employees in the three months ended March 31, 2013, including our current Chief Commercial Officer, and additional equity awards to existing employees.
We expect total selling, general and administrative expenses will remain relatively stable up to the potential launch of Feraheme in the broader IDA market, if regulatory approval is obtained, as compared to the first quarter of 2013. Assuming a launch, we would expect that total selling, general and administrative expenses may increase slightly due to costs associated with the launch, updating our product label, updating our marketing materials and increasing our marketing costs in support of a larger physician and patient opportunity.

Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased by $0.2 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to gains on the sale of fixed assets related to our Cambridge, Massachusetts manufacturing facility, partially offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income as the result of lower average cash balances during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.
We expect interest and dividend income for the remainder of 2013 to remain relatively consistent as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Net Loss
For the reasons stated above, we incurred a net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $12.4 million, or $0.58 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We finance our operations primarily from the sale of Feraheme/Rienso, including payments from our licensees and cash generated from our investing activities and the sale of our common stock. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses as we continue to manufacture, market and sell Feraheme/Rienso as an IV iron replacement therapeutic for use in adult CKD patients in the U.S., Canada, Switzerland and the EU, and as we further develop and seek regulatory approval for Feraheme/Rienso for the treatment of IDA in a broad range of patients in and outside of the U.S.
As of March 31, 2013, our investments consisted of corporate debt securities, U.S. treasury and government agency securities and commercial paper. We place our cash, cash equivalents and investments in instruments that meet high credit quality and diversification standards, as specified in our investment policy. Our investment policy also limits the amount of our credit exposure to any one issue or
issuer, excluding U.S. government entities, and seeks to manage these assets to achieve our goals of preserving principal, maintaining adequate liquidity at all times, and maximizing returns.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following (in thousands):

The $10.0 million decrease in cash, cash equivalents and investments as of March 31, 2013 from December 31, 2012 was primarily due to cash expended to fund our operations and working capital, partially offset by cash received from Feraheme sales, product sales and royalty payments from Takeda and interest income.
We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and investments balances, in the aggregate, will decrease from their current balances during the remainder of 2013. Our expectation assumes our continued investment in the development and commercialization of Feraheme. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and investments as of March 31, 2013 and the cash we currently expect to receive from sales of Feraheme, earnings on our investments, and product sales and royalty payments from Takeda will be sufficient to satisfy our cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months, including projected operating expenses related to our ongoing development and commercialization programs for Feraheme.
Cash flows from operating activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our use of $9.7 million of cash in operations was attributable principally to our net loss of approximately $3.9 million, adjusted for the following:
· Non-cash operating items of $3.3 million including equity-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization of premium/discount on purchased securities, gains on the sale of assets held for sale, net gains on investments, and other non-cash items;
· An aggregate decrease in deferred revenues and other long-term liabilities of $1.9 million;
· An aggregate decrease of $0.1 million in accounts receivable, prepaid assets and inventories; and
· An aggregate decrease of $7.1 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Our net loss of $3.9 million was primarily the result of compensation and other expenses, commercialization expenses, including marketing and promotion costs, research and development costs, including costs associated with our clinical trials, and general and administrative costs, partially offset by net product sales and collaboration revenues.
Cash flows from investing activities
Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $2.9 million and was primarily attributable to the purchases of investments, partially offset by proceeds from the sales and maturities of our investments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 303(a)(4)(ii).
Critical Accounting Policies
Our managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The most significant estimates and assumptions are used in, but are not limited to, revenue recognition related to product sales and collaboration agreements, product sales allowances and accruals, assessing investments for potential other-than-temporary impairment and determining values of investments, accrued expenses and equity-based compensation expense. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. In making these estimates and assumptions, management employs critical accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and related sales allowances, valuation of investments and equity-based compensation. For a detailed description, refer to our critical accounting policies included in Part II, Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report and Note B to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies discussed in our Annual Report.
Impact of Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI. The amendment expands the existing disclosure by requiring entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to provide information about the effects on net income of significant amounts reclassified out of each component of AOCI to net income either on the face of the income statement or as a separate disclosure in the notes of the financial statements. The amendment is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2012. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures. See Note H to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding AOCI.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes with respect to the information appearing in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Managements Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), or Rule 15d-15(e)), with the participation of our management, have each concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. It should be noted that any system of controls is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances that the system will achieve its stated goals under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective at a level that provides such reasonable assurances.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
A purported class action complaint was originally filed on March 18, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, entitled Silverstrand Investments et. al. v. AMAG Pharm., Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 1:10-CV-10470-NMG, and was amended on September 15, 2010 and on December 17, 2010. The second amended complaint, or SAC, filed on December 17, 2010 alleged that we and our former President and Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Financial Officer, the then members of our Board of Directors, and certain underwriters in our January 2010 offering of common stock violated certain federal securities laws, specifically Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that our former President and Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer violated Section 15 of such Act, respectively, by making certain alleged false and misleading statements and omissions in a registration statement filed in January 2010. The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock pursuant to our common stock offering on or about January 21, 2010. On August 11, 2011, the District Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the SAC in its entirety for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. A separate Order of Dismissal was filed on August 15, 2011. On September 14, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, or the Court of Appeals. After briefing was completed by all parties, the Court of Appeals heard oral argument on May 11, 2012. On February 4, 2013, the Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part the District Courts Opinion and Order, and remanded the case to the District Court. On February 19, 2013, we filed a Petition for Panel Hearing Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc, asking the Court of Appeals to reconsider its decision. On March 15, 2013, the Court of Appeals denied this petition. On March 22, 2013, we filed a Motion to Stay the Mandate remanding the case to the District Court pending review of the Court of Appeals February 4, 2013 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals granted this Motion to Stay the Mandate on April 8, 2013, and any petition for writ of certiorari must be filed by June 13, 2013.
In July 2010, Sandoz GmbH, or Sandoz, filed with the European Patent Office, or the EPO, an opposition to our previously issued patent which covers ferumoxytol in the EU. In October 2012, at an oral hearing, the Opposition Division of the EPO revoked our European ferumoxytol patent. In December 2012, our notice of appeal was recorded with the EPO, which suspended the revocation of our patent. We will continue to defend the validity of this patent throughout the appeals process, which we expect to take two to three years. However, in the event that we do not experience a successful outcome from the appeals process, under EU regulations ferumoxytol would still be entitled to eight years of data protection and ten years of market exclusivity from the date of approval, which we believe would create barriers to entry for any generic version of ferumoxytol into the EU market until sometime between 2020 and 2022. This decision had no impact on our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. However, any future unfavorable outcome in this matter could negatively affect the magnitude and timing of future revenues, including royalties and milestone payments we may receive from Takeda pursuant to our collaboration agreement with Takeda. We continue to believe the patent is valid and intend to vigorously appeal the decision.
We are solely dependent on the success of Feraheme/Rienso.
We currently derive and expect to continue to derive substantially all of our revenue from sales of Feraheme/Rienso by us in the U.S. and by our licensees, including Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda, outside of the U.S. and, therefore, our ability to become profitable is solely dependent on our and our licensees successful commercialization and development of Feraheme/Rienso. Accordingly, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues from sales of Feraheme/Rienso, or from milestone payments and royalties we may receive related to Feraheme/Rienso, we may never be profitable, our financial condition will be materially adversely affected, and our business prospects will be limited.
We intend to continue to dedicate significant resources to the development and commercialization of Feraheme/Rienso. However, we or Takeda may not be successful in our efforts to successfully commercialize Feraheme/Rienso in its current chronic kidney disease, or CKD, indication or to expand the approved indication of Feraheme/Rienso to include additional indications. Although we filed a supplemental New Drug Application, or sNDA, in the U.S. in December 2012 for Feraheme in patients with iron deficiency anemia, or IDA, who had failed to or could not use oral iron, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, may not accept or approve our sNDA, or may require that we narrow the scope of our proposed indication. In addition, we expect that Takeda will file a Type II Variation, which is the European Union, or EU, equivalent of a U.S. sNDA, with the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, in 2013 seeking marketing approval for Rienso for the treatment of IDA in adult patients. However, we have no control over Takedas process, timeline or interactions with the European regulatory agencies, Takeda may not be successful in filing a Type II Variation in a timely manner, or at all, and we cannot be assured that the EMA will accept and approve the filing. We are not currently conducting or sponsoring research to expand our product development pipeline beyond Feraheme/Rienso. Therefore, our revenues and operations will not be as diversified as some of our competitors which have multiple products or product candidates. Any failure by us or Takeda to gain marketing approval for Feraheme/Rienso for the treatment of IDA regardless of the underlying cause could limit long-term shareholder value and adversely affect the future prospects of our business.
Competitors could file applications seeking a path to U.S. approval of a generic ferumoxytol.
Under Sections 505(c)(3)(E)(ii) and 505(j)(5)(F)(ii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDC Act, as amended by The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, or the Hatch-Waxman Act, a new chemical entity, or NCE, that is granted regulatory approval
may be eligible for five years of marketing exclusivity in the U.S. following regulatory approval. A drug can be classified as an NCE if the FDA has not previously approved any other drug containing the same active moiety, which is the molecule or ion responsible for the action of the drug substance. In 2009, the FDA determined that ferumoxytol did not qualify as an NCE and instead granted Feraheme a three-year new use market exclusivity, which expired in June 2012. In March 2010 and December 2012, we formally requested that the FDA reconsider its determination with respect to Ferahemes NCE status. The FDA may deny our request for reconsideration of NCE status for Feraheme, in which case Feraheme may be subjected to early generic competition.
NCE status, if granted, would preclude approval during the exclusivity period of certain applications made under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDC Act, as amended by the Hatch-Waxman Act, or a Section 505(b)(2) new drug application, or NDA, and abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA, submitted by another company for another version of the subject drug; however, under governing law an application may be submitted four years after approval of the subject drug (even with a five year exclusivity period prohibiting approval) if it contains a certification of patent invalidity or non-infringement pursuant to Paragraph IV of the Hatch-Waxman Act, or the Paragraph IV certification procedure. In recent years, generic manufacturers have used Paragraph IV certifications extensively to challenge the applicability of Orange Book-listed patents on a wide array of innovative pharmaceuticals, and we expect this trend to continue. If we are not able to gain or exploit marketing exclusivity beyond the initial three year exclusivity period that expired in June 2012, we may face significant future competitive threats to our commercialization of Feraheme from other manufacturers, including the manufacturers of generic alternatives through the submission of Section 505(b)(2) NDAs and ANDAs. Further, even if Feraheme is granted NCE status and we are able to gain marketing exclusivity until June 2014, another company could challenge that decision and seek to overturn the FDAs determination. Although costly, another company could also gain such marketing exclusivity under the provisions of the FDC Act, as amended by the Hatch-Waxman Act, if such company can, under certain circumstances, complete a human clinical trial process and obtain regulatory approval of its product.
In addition, in December 2012, the FDA published draft guidance regarding new draft product-specific bioequivalence for drug products containing ferumoxytol. The FDA generally publishes product-specific bioequivalence guidance after it has received an inquiry from a generic drug manufacturer about submitting an ANDA for the product in question; thus, it is possible that a generic drug manufacturer has approached the FDA requesting guidance about submitting an ANDA for ferumoxytol, the active ingredient in Feraheme, and that such an ANDA may be filed in the near future. Because the FDA may deny our request for reconsideration of NCE status for Feraheme and because the published bioequivalence guidance could encourage a generic entrant seeking a path to approval of a generic ferumoxytol to file an ANDA, we could face generic competition in the near-term or have to engage in extensive litigation with a generic competitor to protect our patent rights, either of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Companies that manufacture generic products typically invest far fewer resources in research and development than the manufacturers of branded products and can therefore price their products significantly lower than those branded products already on the market. Therefore, competition from generic intravenous, or IV, iron products could limit our U.S. sales and any royalties we may receive from Takeda, which would have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
We are completely dependent on third parties to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso and any difficulties, disruptions or delays in the Feraheme/Rienso manufacturing process, including our transition to alternative source manufacturing facilities, could increase our costs, or adversely affect our profitability and future business prospects.
In 2012, we ceased our manufacturing operations at our Cambridge, Massachusetts manufacturing facility. Consequently, we currently rely solely on our third-party contract manufacturers to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso for our commercial and clinical use in the U.S., the EU and Switzerland. We do not currently have an alternative manufacturer for our Feraheme/Rienso drug substance and finished drug product and we may not be able to enter into agreements with manufacturers whose facilities and procedures comply with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP, regulations and other regulatory requirements on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Prior to ceasing our manufacturing operations in 2012, we manufactured Feraheme drug substance and drug product for use in the Canadian market at our Cambridge facility. Although we and Takeda are working to obtain regulatory approval of the manufacturing facilities at our current third-party contract manufacturers to produce Feraheme for sale in Canada, we do not currently have manufacturing facilities for this geography.
Our ability to have Feraheme/Rienso manufactured in sufficient quantities and at acceptable costs to meet our commercial demand and clinical development needs is dependent on the uninterrupted and efficient operation of our third-party contract manufacturing facilities. Any difficulties, disruptions or delays in the Feraheme/Rienso manufacturing process could result in product defects or shipment delays, recall or withdrawal of product previously shipped for commercial or clinical purposes, inventory write-offs or the inability to meet commercial demand for Feraheme/Rienso in a timely and cost-effective manner. For example, in late 2012, we produced a batch of Rienso which did not meet our release specifications in the EU. As a result, we are developing a more accurate assay in order to be able to release this batch and any future batches produced for sale in the EU, which will require review and approval by the EMA. In addition, our current third-party manufacturer does not manufacture for us exclusively and may exhaust some or all of its resources meeting the demand of other customers. Any potential manufacturing delays resulting from our efforts to gain regulatory approval of a new assay for the production of Rienso for sale in the EU or insufficient manufacturing capacity due to scheduling conflicts at our third-party manufacturers to produce sufficient quantities of Feraheme/Rienso to meet our demand forecasts could result in our inability to meet our commercial demand for Feraheme/Rienso.
In addition, the transition of the manufacturing processes to third-party contract manufacturers and the oversight of such third parties could take a significant amount of time and may increase the risk of certain problems, including cost overruns, process reproducibility, stability issues, the inability to deliver required quantities of product that conform to specifications in a timely manner, or the inability to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso in accordance with cGMP. If we are unable to have Feraheme/Rienso manufactured on a timely or sufficient basis because of these or other factors, we may not be able to meet commercial demand or our clinical development needs for Feraheme/Rienso or may not be able to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso in a cost-effective manner, particularly in light of the fixed price at which we are required to supply Feraheme/Rienso to Takeda under our License, Development and Commercialization Agreement, as amended in June 2012, or the Amended Takeda Agreement. As a result, we may lose sales, fail to generate increased revenues, suffer regulatory setbacks and/or we may lose money on our supply of Feraheme/Rienso to Takeda, any of which could have an adverse impact on our potential profitability and future business prospects.
Significant safety or drug interaction problems could arise with respect to Feraheme/Rienso, which could result in restrictions in the Feraheme/Rienso label, recalls, withdrawal of Feraheme/Rienso from the market, an adverse impact on Feraheme/Rienso sales, or our need to alter or terminate current or future Feraheme development programs, any of which would adversely impact our future business prospects.
Significant safety or drug interaction problems could arise with respect to Feraheme/Rienso, including an increase in the severity or frequency of known problems or the discovery of previously unknown problems, and may result in a variety of adverse regulatory actions. In the U.S., under the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, the FDA has broad authority to force drug manufacturers to take
any number of actions if safety or drug interaction problems arise, including, but not limited to the following:
· Requiring manufacturers to conduct post-approval clinical studies to assess known risks or signals of serious risks, or to identify unexpected serious risks;
· Mandating labeling changes to a product based on new safety information; or
· Requiring manufacturers to implement a Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy where necessary to assure safe use of the drug.
Similar laws and regulations exist in countries outside of the U.S. In addition, previously unknown safety or drug interaction problems could result in product recalls, restrictions on the products permissible uses, or withdrawal of the product from the U.S. and/or foreign markets.
For example, in November 2010, following discussions with the FDA, we revised the Feraheme package insert, which includes essential information regarding the FDA-approved use of Feraheme, including, among other things, the approved indication, side effects, and dosage instructions, to include bolded warnings and precautions that describe events that have been reported during post-marketing review after Feraheme administration, including life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions and clinically significant hypotension. We directly alerted healthcare providers of the changes to the Feraheme package insert. During June 2011, we made further changes to the Feraheme package insert based on additional post-marketing data. These or any future changes to the Feraheme package insert could adversely impact our or Takedas ability to successfully compete in the IV iron market and could have an adverse impact on potential sales of Feraheme and our future business prospects.
The data submitted to both the FDA as part of our NDA and to the EMA as part of the Marketing Authorization Application for Feraheme/Rienso in the CKD indication was obtained in controlled clinical trials of limited duration. New safety or drug interaction issues may arise as Feraheme/Rienso is used over longer periods of time by a wider group of patients, some of whom may be taking numerous other medicines or by patients with additional underlying health problems. In addition, as we conduct and complete other clinical trials for Feraheme, new safety issues may be identified which could negatively impact our ability to successfully complete these studies, the use and/or regulatory status of Feraheme/Rienso for the treatment of IDA in patients with CKD in the U.S., EU or other territories, and the prospects for approval of future sNDAs, such as our December 2012 sNDA submission for Feraheme for the treatment of IDA regardless of the underlying cause. For example, the FDA may determine that our sNDA for our IDA global registrational program does not establish a sufficiently acceptable safety profile for the approval of a broader Feraheme label.
As more data become available and an increased number of patients are treated with Feraheme/Rienso, new safety or drug interaction issues may arise and require us to, among other things, provide additional warnings and/or restrictions on the Feraheme/Rienso package insert, including a boxed warning in the U.S. or similar warnings outside of the U.S., directly alert healthcare providers of new safety information, narrow our approved indications, alter or terminate current or future trials for additional uses of Feraheme, or even remove Feraheme/Rienso from the market, any of which could have a significant adverse impact on potential sales of Feraheme/Rienso or require us to expend significant additional funds.
Our and Takedas ability to grow revenues from sales of Feraheme/Rienso could be limited if we or Takeda do not obtain approval, or if we or Takeda experience significant delays in our or Takedas efforts to obtain approval to market and sell Feraheme/Rienso for the treatment of IDA in a broad range of patients.
In December 2012, we submitted a sNDA to the FDA for Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in a broad range of patients. In addition, we expect that Takeda will file a Type II Variation with the EMA in 2013 seeking marketing approval for Feraheme/Rienso for the treatment of IDA in adult patients. Before applying for regulatory approval in the U.S. or foreign countries for the commercial marketing and sale of Feraheme/Rienso for the broad IDA indication, we have to demonstrate, through extensive human clinical trials, that Feraheme/Rienso is safe and effective for use in this broader patient population. Conducting these and other clinical trials is a complex, time-consuming and expensive process that requires adherence to a wide range of regulatory requirements. The FDA and foreign regulatory agencies have substantial discretion in the approval process and may decide that the results of our recently completed clinical trials are insufficient for approval or that Feraheme/Rienso is not effective or safe in indications other than the treatment of IDA in adult patients with CKD. For example, in our Phase III clinical trial in the broader patient population, Feraheme-treated patients experienced a 0.6% rate of related serious adverse events, or SAEs, as compared to a 0.2% rate of related SAEs from our current Feraheme label for the treatment of IDA in adult patients with CKD. Clinical and other data is often susceptible to varying interpretations, and many companies that have believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtain FDA or EMA approval for their products. There is no guarantee that the FDA or EMA will determine that the results of our clinical trials in our global registrational program for Feraheme/Rienso in a broad range of patients with IDA will adequately demonstrate that Feraheme/Rienso is safe and effective in such a patient population to grant approval.
The FDA or EMA could also determine that our clinical trials and/or our manufacturing processes were not properly designed, were not conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, or were otherwise not properly managed. In addition, under the FDAs current good clinical practices regulations, or cGCP, we are responsible for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to ensure that the data and results are credible and accurate and that the trial participants are adequately protected. The FDA may conduct inspections of clinical investigator sites which are involved in our clinical development programs to ensure their compliance with cGCP regulations. If the FDA determines that we, our clinical research organizations, or CROs, or our study sites fail to comply with applicable cGCP regulations, the clinical data generated in our clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA may disqualify certain data generated from those sites or require us to perform additional clinical trials before approving our marketing application, which could adversely impact our ability to obtain marketing approval in the U.S. for Feraheme/Rienso in the broad IDA indication. Any such deficiency in the design, implementation or oversight of our clinical development programs could cause us to incur significant additional costs, experience significant delays or prevent us from obtaining marketing approval for Feraheme/Rienso for the broad IDA indication. In addition, any failure by us or Takeda to obtain approval for the broad IDA indication could adversely affect the commercialization of Feraheme/Rienso in its current indication. If, for any of these or other reasons, we or Takeda do not obtain approval, or if we or Takeda experience significant delays in our or Takedas efforts to obtain approval to market and sell Feraheme/Rienso for the treatment of IDA in a broad range of patients, our cash position, our ability to increase revenues, our ability to achieve profitability, and the future prospects of our business could be materially adversely affected.
We may not be able to expand our product portfolio by entering into business development transactions, such as in-licensing arrangements, acquisitions, or collaborations or if such arrangements are entered into they could disrupt our business, decrease our profitability, result in dilution to our stockholders or cause us to incur debt or significant additional expense.
As part of our business strategy to expand our product portfolio and achieve profitability, we are seeking to acquire or in-license other products that we believe would be complementary to our existing business. We have limited experience with respect to these business development activities and there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify or complete any such transaction in a timely manner, on a cost-
effective basis, or at all, and we may not realize the anticipated financial benefits of any such transaction. We may not be successful in acquiring or in-licensing a product or product candidate that will provide us with commercial, development and/or financial synergies with Feraheme and our current organization such that we will be able to eliminate expenses either from our existing operations or from the cost structure of the acquired product.
In addition, proposing, negotiating and implementing collaborations, in-licensing arrangements or acquisition agreements may be a lengthy and complex process. Other companies, including those with substantially greater financial, marketing and sales resources, may compete with us for these arrangements, and we may not be able to enter into such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all. Further, any such strategic transactions by us could result in large and immediate write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could adversely impact our operating results. Management of a license arrangement, collaboration, or other strategic arrangement and/or integration of an acquired asset or company may also disrupt our ongoing business, require management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of our existing business and our U.S. commercialization of Feraheme. In addition, to finance any such strategic transactions, we may choose to issue shares of our common or preferred stock as consideration, which would result in dilution to our stockholders. Alternatively, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings, and such additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to successfully obtain rights to suitable products or if any acquisition or in-license arrangement we make is not successful, our business, financial condition and prospects for growth could suffer.
The success of Feraheme in the U.S. depends on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology.
We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks and copyrights in the conduct of our business. The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We may not be successful or timely in obtaining any patents for which we submit applications. The breadth of the claims obtained in our patents may not provide sufficient protection for our technology. The degree of protection afforded by patents for proprietary or licensed technologies or for future discoveries may not be adequate to preserve our ability to protect or commercially exploit those technologies or discoveries. The patents issued to us may provide us with little or no competitive advantage. In addition, there is a risk that others will independently develop or duplicate similar technology or products or circumvent the patents issued to us.
Our U.S. ferumoxytol patents are currently scheduled to expire in 2020. These and any other patents issued to us may be contested or invalidated. There has been substantial litigation and other proceedings regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. We may become a party to patent litigation and other proceedings, including interference and reexamination proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
In addition, claims of infringement or violation of the proprietary rights of others may be asserted against us. If we are required to defend against such claims or to protect our own proprietary rights against others, it could result in substantial financial and business costs, including the business cost attributable to the resulting distraction of our management. An adverse ruling in any litigation or administrative proceeding could prevent us from marketing and selling Feraheme, increase the risk that a generic version of Feraheme could enter the market to compete with Feraheme, limit our development and commercialization of Feraheme, or otherwise harm our competitive position and result in additional significant costs. In addition, any successful claim of infringement asserted against us could subject us to monetary damages or an injunction, preventing us from making or selling Feraheme. We also may be required to obtain licenses to use the relevant technology. Such licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
Frequently, the unpredictable nature and significant costs of patent litigation leads the parties to settle to remove this uncertainty. Settlement agreements between branded companies and generic applicants may allow, among other things, a generic product to enter the market prior to the expiration of any or all of the applicable patents covering the branded product, either through the introduction of an authorized generic or by providing a license to the applicant for the patents in suit.
We also rely upon unpatented trade secrets and improvements, unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our corporate licensees, collaborators, contract manufacturers, employees and consultants. These agreements, however, may be breached. We may not have adequate remedies for any such breaches, and our trade secrets might otherwise become known or might be independently discovered by our competitors. In addition, we cannot be certain that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent or superseding proprietary technology, or that an equivalent product will not be marketed in competition with Feraheme, thereby substantially reducing the value of our proprietary rights. Our inability to protect Feraheme through our patents and other intellectual property rights prior to their expiration could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
The success of Feraheme/Rienso abroad depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and the laws of foreign countries may not provide the same level of protection as do the laws of the U.S.
The laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. and therefore, in addition to similar risks to those describe above under the heading The success of Feraheme in the U.S. depends on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology, our intellectual property rights may be subject to increased risk abroad, including opposition proceedings before the patent offices for other countries, such as the European Patent Office, or the EPO, or similar adversarial proceedings, regarding intellectual property rights with respect to Feraheme/Rienso. For example, in July 2010, Sandoz GmbH, or Sandoz, filed with the EPO an opposition to one of our previously issued patents which covers ferumoxytol in the EU. In October 2012, at an oral hearing, the Opposition Division of the EPO revoked our European ferumoxytol patent. In December 2012, our notice of appeal was recorded with the EPO. The appeals process is costly and time-consuming and if it results in an unfavorable outcome to us, it could result in a loss of proprietary rights in the EU and may allow Sandoz or other companies to use our proprietary technology without a license from us, which may also result in a loss of future royalty or milestone payments to us, as well as the possibility that Takeda may determine that the terms of our agreement are no longer viable. We cannot predict the outcome of our appeal of the EPO decision. This or any future patent interference proceedings involving our patents may result in substantial costs to us, distract our management from day-to-day business operations and responsibilities, prevent us or Takeda from marketing and selling Feraheme/Rienso or increase the risk that a generic version of Feraheme/Rienso could enter the market to compete with Feraheme/Rienso. In countries where we do not have or have not applied for patents for ferumoxytol, such as in China, where we license certain development and commercial rights to Feraheme to 3SBio, Inc., we may be unable to prevent others from developing or selling similar products. In addition, in jurisdictions outside the U.S. where we have patent rights, we may be unable to prevent unlicensed parties from selling or importing products or technologies derived elsewhere using our proprietary technology. Any such limitation on our intellectual property rights would cause substantial harm to our competitive position and to our ability to develop and commercialize Feraheme/Rienso. Our inability to protect Feraheme/Rienso through our patents and other intellectual property rights in any territory prior to their expiration could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
Competition in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries is intense. If we fail to compete effectively, our business and market position will suffer.
The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. We and Takeda compete in the marketing and sale of Feraheme/Rienso and many of our competitors are large, well-known pharmaceutical companies. One or more of our competitors may benefit from significantly greater financial, sales and marketing capabilities, greater technological or competitive advantages, and other resources. Our competitors may develop products that are more widely accepted than ours and may receive patent protection that dominates, blocks or adversely affects our product development or business.
The iron replacement therapy market is highly sensitive to several factors including, but not limited to the following:
· The actual and perceived safety and efficacy profile of the available products;
· The ability to obtain appropriate insurance coverage and reimbursement rates and terms;
· Price competitiveness; and
· Product characteristics such as convenience of administration and dosing regimens.
The introduction by our competitors of alternatives to Feraheme/Rienso that would be, or are perceived to be, more efficacious, safer, cheaper, easier to administer, or provide more favorable insurance coverage or reimbursement could reduce our revenues and the value of our product development efforts.
Feraheme/Rienso may not receive the same level of market acceptance as competing iron replacement therapy products, in part because most of these products have been on the market longer and are currently widely used by physicians in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, certain of the IV iron products that we compete with are approved for the treatment of IDA in a broader group of patients than Feraheme/Rienso. We or Takeda may not be able to convince physicians and other healthcare providers or payers to switch from using the other IV iron therapeutic products to Feraheme/Rienso. If we or Takeda are not able to differentiate Feraheme/Rienso from other marketed IV iron products, our ability to maintain a premium price, our ability to generate revenues and achieve and maintain profitability, and our long-term business prospects could be adversely affected.
Feraheme currently competes with several IV iron replacement therapies in the U.S., If these or other iron replacement products are approved for marketing and sale in the U.S. or are approved for a broader IDA indication than Feraheme, our efforts to market and sell Feraheme in the U.S. and our ability to generate additional revenues and achieve profitability could be adversely affected. For example, in April 2012 the FDA accepted for review the NDA for Injectafer®, which has been approved as Ferinject® in Europe, and a Prescription Drug User Fee Act target date of July 30, 2013 has been set. If approved, Injectafer® will be marketed as an IV iron and may have a broader indication than our current Feraheme indication.
Feraheme/Rienso also competes with a number of branded IV iron replacement and certain other iron dextran and iron sucrose products outside of the U.S. If Takeda is unable to convince physicians and other healthcare providers to switch from using the competing IV iron products to Feraheme/Rienso, our ability to generate revenues from royalties we may receive from Takeda will be limited and our operating results will be negatively affected. In addition, all other IV iron products currently approved and marketed and sold in the EU are approved for marketing to a broader group of patients with IDA. Feraheme/Rienso was
approved only for use in adult CKD patients, which could put Feraheme/Rienso at a competitive disadvantage unless and until it receives approval for a broader indication outside of the U.S.
Feraheme/Rienso may not be widely adopted by physicians, hospitals, patients, or healthcare payors, which would adversely impact our potential profitability and future business prospects.
The commercial success of Feraheme/Rienso in the U.S. and in other territories depends upon its level of market adoption by physicians, hospitals, patients, and healthcare payors, including managed care organizations and group purchasing organizations, or GPOs. If Feraheme/Rienso does not achieve or maintain an adequate level of market adoption for any reason, our potential profitability and our future business prospects will be severely adversely impacted. Feraheme/Rienso represents an alternative to other products and might not be adopted if perceived to be no safer, less safe, no more effective, less effective, no more convenient, or less convenient than currently available products. In addition, the pricing and/or reimbursement rates and terms for Feraheme/Rienso may not be viewed as advantageous to potential prescribers and payors as the pricing and/or reimbursement rates and terms of alternative IV iron products. The degree of market acceptance of Feraheme/Rienso in the U.S. and abroad depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to the following:
· Our and Takedas ability to demonstrate to healthcare providers, particularly hematologists, oncologists, hospitals, nephrologists, and others who may purchase or prescribe Feraheme/Rienso, the clinical efficacy and safety of Feraheme/Rienso as an alternative to currently marketed IV iron products which treat IDA in CKD patients;
· Our and Takedas ability to convince physicians and other healthcare providers to use IV iron, and Feraheme/Rienso in particular, rather than oral iron, which is the current treatment of choice of most physicians for treating IDA in CKD patients;
· The actual or perceived safety and efficacy profile of Feraheme/Rienso as compared to alternative iron replacement therapeutic agents, particularly if unanticipated adverse reactions to Feraheme/Rienso result in further changes to or restrictions in the Feraheme/Rienso package insert and/or otherwise create safety concerns among potential prescribers;
· The relative level of available reimbursement in the U.S. for Feraheme from payors, including government payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and private payors as compared to the level of available reimbursement for alternative IV iron products;
· The relative price and/or level of reimbursement of Feraheme/Rienso outside of the U.S. as compared to alternative iron replacement therapeutic agents;
· The actual or perceived convenience and ease of administration of Feraheme/Rienso as compared to alternative iron replacement therapeutic agents, including iron administered orally; and
· The effectiveness of our and Takedas commercial organizations and distribution networks in marketing, selling and supplying Feraheme/Rienso.
The key component of our U.S. commercialization strategy is to market and sell Feraheme for use in non-dialysis adult CKD patients. The current U.S. non-dialysis CKD market is comprised primarily of three sites of care where a substantial number of CKD patients are treated: hematology and oncology centers, hospitals, and nephrology clinics. IV iron therapeutic products are not currently widely used by certain physicians who treat non-dialysis CKD patients in the U.S., particularly nephrologists, due to safety
concerns and the inconvenience and often impracticability of administering IV iron therapeutic products in their offices. It is often difficult to change physicians existing treatment paradigms even when supportive clinical data is available. In addition, our ability to effectively market and sell Feraheme in the U.S. hospital market depends in part upon our ability to achieve acceptance of Feraheme onto hospital formularies. Since many hospitals and hematology, oncology and nephrology practices are members of GPOs, which leverage the purchasing power of a group of entities to obtain discounts based on the collective bargaining power of the group, our ability to attract customers in these sites of care also depends in part on our ability to effectively promote Feraheme to and enter into pricing agreements with GPOs. If we are not successful in capturing a significant share of the U.S. non-dialysis CKD market or if we are not successful in securing and maintaining formulary coverage for Feraheme, our potential profitability as well as our long-term business prospects could be adversely affected.
We derive a substantial amount of our revenue from a limited number of customers and the loss of one or more of these customers, a change in their fee structure, or a decline in revenue from one or more of these customers could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
In the U.S., we sell Feraheme primarily to wholesalers and specialty distributors and therefore a significant portion of our revenues is generated by a small number of customers. Four customers accounted for 92% of our total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and three customers accounted for 92% of our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2013. We pay these wholesalers and specialty distributors a fee for the services that they provide to us. Because our business is concentrated with such a small number of wholesalers and specialty distributors, we could be forced to accept increases in their fees in order to maintain the current distribution networks through which Feraheme is sold. Any increase in fees could have a negative impact on our current and future sales of Feraheme in the U.S. and could have a negative impact on the reimbursement rate an individual physician, hospital or clinic would realize upon using Feraheme. In addition, a significant portion of our U.S. Feraheme sales are generated through a small number of contracts with GPOs. For example, approximately 30% of our end-user demand during the period ended March 31, 2013 was generated by members of a single GPO with which we have contracted. As a result of the significant percentage of our end-user demand being generated by a single GPO, we may be at a disadvantage in future contract or price negotiations with such GPO and that GPO may be able to influence the demand for Feraheme from its members in a particular quarter through communications they make to their customers. In addition, the loss of, material reduction in sales volume to, or a significant adverse change in our relationship with any of our key wholesalers, distributors or GPOs could have a material adverse effect on our revenue in any given period and may result in significant annual or quarterly revenue fluctuations.
We depend, to a significant degree, on the availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party payors for the use of Feraheme/Rienso, and a reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement could adversely affect our Feraheme/Rienso sales revenues and results of operations.
In both the U.S. and foreign markets, our and Takedas ability to successfully commercialize Feraheme/Rienso is dependent, in significant part, on the availability and extent of reimbursement to end-users from third-party payors for the use of Feraheme/Rienso, including governmental payors, managed care organizations and private health insurers. Reimbursement by third-party payors depends on a number of factors, including the third-partys determination that the product is competitively priced, safe and effective, appropriate for the specific patient, and cost-effective. Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged for pharmaceutical products and have instituted and continue to institute cost containment measures to control or significantly influence the purchase of pharmaceutical products. If these entities do not provide coverage and reimbursement for Feraheme/Rienso or provide an insufficient level of coverage and reimbursement, physicians and other healthcare providers may choose to use alternative IV iron replacement products, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues.
In addition, U.S. and many foreign governments continue to propose and pass legislation designed to reduce the cost of health care for patients. In the U.S., the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, or the Health Care Reform Act, was enacted in March 2010 and includes certain cost containment measures including an increase to the minimum rebates for products covered by Medicaid programs, the extension of such rebates to drugs dispensed to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations and the expansion of the 340B Drug Discount Program under the Public Health Service Act. In addition, the heightened focus on the health care industry by the federal government could result in the implementation of significant federal spending cuts, including cuts in Medicare and other health related spending in the near-term. For example, under the sequestration required by the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Medicare payments for all items and services under Parts A and B incurred on or after April 1, 2013 have been reduced by up to 2%. Therefore, after adjustment for deductible and co-insurance, the reimbursement rate for physician-administered drugs including Feraheme, under Medicare Part B has been reduced from average selling price, or ASP, plus 6% to ASP plus 4.3%. Because the majority of our business is through hematology/oncology clinics and out-patient hospital infusions centers, this reduction in the Medicare reimbursement payment for Feraheme may adversely impact our future revenues. The magnitude of the impact of these laws on our business is uncertain. Further, in recent years some states have also passed legislation to control the prices of drugs as well as begun a move toward managed care to relieve some of their Medicaid cost burden. While Medicare is the predominant payor for treatment of patients with CKD, Medicare payment policy, in time, can also influence pricing and reimbursement in the non-Medicare markets, as private third-party payors and state Medicaid plans frequently adopt Medicare principles in setting reimbursement methodologies. These and any future changes in government regulation or private third-party payors reimbursement policies may reduce the extent of reimbursement for Feraheme/Rienso and adversely affect our future operating results.
In January 2011, a prospective payment system for dialysis services provided to Medicare beneficiaries who have end-stage renal disease, or ESRD, became effective under which all costs of providing dialysis services are bundled together into a single prospective payment per treatment. This bundled approach to reimbursement has and will likely continue to alter the utilization of physician-administered drugs in the ESRD market as well as put downward pressure on the prices pharmaceutical companies can charge ESRD facilities for such drugs, particularly where alternative products are available. In the U.S., Feraheme is sold at a price that is substantially higher than alternative IV iron products in the dialysis setting, and as a result, the demand for Feraheme in the dialysis setting has largely disappeared. In addition, it is also possible that this bundled approach may be applied to specific disease states other than ESRD. For example, one large insurer in the U.S has attempted to bundle certain costs related to the treatment of cancer patients. Further changes in the Medicare reimbursement rate, which result in lower payment rates from payors, including Medicare payors, would further limit our ability to successfully market and sell Feraheme in the U.S. In addition, in the U.S. hospital in-patient setting, Feraheme is reimbursed by Medicare under a diagnosis-related group payment system, which provides a per discharge reimbursement based on the diagnosis and/or procedure rather than actual costs incurred in patient treatments, thereby increasing the incentive for a hospital to limit or control expenditures. As a result, Feraheme has not been nor do we expect it to be broadly used in the hospital in-patient setting.
In countries outside of the U.S., market acceptance may also depend, in part, upon the availability of reimbursement within existing healthcare payment systems. Generally, in Europe and other countries outside of the U.S., the government sponsored healthcare system is the primary payor of healthcare costs of patients and therefore enjoys significant market power. Some foreign countries also set prices for pharmaceutical products as part of the regulatory process, and we cannot guarantee that the prices set by such governments will be sufficient to generate substantial revenues or allow sales of Feraheme/Rienso to be profitable in those countries. Any such limitations on the reimbursement for Feraheme/Rienso in
countries outside of the U.S. would have an adverse impact on Takedas ability to generate product sales of Feraheme/Rienso in such territories, which would, in turn, limit the amount of royalties we may receive under our amended agreement with Takeda.
We are substantially dependent upon our collaboration with Takeda to commercialize Feraheme/Rienso in certain regions outside of the U.S., including Canada, Switzerland and the EU, and if Takeda fails to successfully fulfill its obligations, or is ineffective in its commercialization of Feraheme/Rienso in its licensed territories, or if our collaboration is terminated, our plans to commercialize Feraheme/Rienso outside of the U.S. may be adversely affected.
In March 2010, we entered into our initial agreement with Takeda, which was amended in June 2012, under which we granted exclusive rights to Takeda to develop and commercialize Feraheme/Rienso as a therapeutic agent in Europe, certain Asia-Pacific countries (excluding Japan, China and Taiwan), Canada, India and Turkey. We are highly dependent on Takeda for certain regulatory filings outside of the U.S. with respect to Feraheme/Rienso and the commercialization of Feraheme/Rienso outside of the U.S., including in Canada, Switzerland and the EU. If Takeda fails to perform its obligations under the Amended Takeda Agreement or is ineffective in its commercialization of Feraheme/Rienso in the agreed-upon territories, or if we fail to effectively manage our relationship with Takeda, our ability to and the extent to which we obtain regulatory approvals for Feraheme/Rienso and our Feraheme/Rienso commercialization efforts outside of the U.S. would be significantly harmed, which would have an adverse effect on milestone payments and royalties we may receive under the Amended Takeda Agreement. Further, if we fail to fulfill certain of our obligations under the Amended Takeda Agreement, Takeda has the right to assume the responsibility of clinical development and manufacturing of Feraheme/Rienso in the agreed-upon territories, which would increase the cost of and delay the Feraheme/Rienso development program outside of the U.S.
Takeda has the unilateral right to terminate the Amended Takeda Agreement under certain conditions, including without cause. If Takeda terminates the agreement and we chose to continue to commercialize Feraheme/Rienso in Takedas territories, we would be required to either enter into alternative arrangements with third parties to commercialize Feraheme/Rienso in Takedas territories, which we may be unable to do, or to increase our internal infrastructure, both of which would likely result in significant additional expense and the disruption or failure of commercial efforts outside of the U.S. In addition, such a termination would prevent us from receiving the milestone payments and royalties we may receive under the Amended Takeda Agreement.
Our contract manufacturers may not be able to operate their manufacturing facilities in compliance with current good manufacturing practices, release specifications and other FDA and equivalent foreign regulations, which could result in a suspension of our contract manufacturers ability to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso, the loss of Feraheme/Rienso inventory, an inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of Feraheme/Rienso to meet U.S. or foreign demand, or other unanticipated compliance costs.
Our third-party contract manufacturing facilities are subject to cGMP regulations enforced by the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory regulations and agencies through periodic inspections to confirm such compliance. Our contract manufacturers must continually expend time, money and effort in production, record-keeping and quality assurance and control to ensure that these manufacturing facilities meet applicable regulatory requirements. Failure to maintain ongoing compliance with cGMP or similar regulations and other applicable manufacturing requirements of various U.S. or foreign regulatory agencies could result in, among other things, the issuance of warning letters, fines, the withdrawal or recall of Feraheme/Rienso from the marketplace, total or partial suspension of Feraheme/Rienso production, the loss of Feraheme/Rienso inventory, suspension of the review of our current or any future sNDAs or equivalent foreign filings, enforcement actions, injunctions or criminal prosecution. A
government-mandated recall or a voluntary recall could divert managerial and financial resources, could be difficult and costly to correct, could result in the suspension of sales of Feraheme/Rienso, and could have a severe adverse impact on our potential profitability and the future prospects of our business. If any U.S. or foreign regulatory agency inspects any of these manufacturing facilities and determines that they are not in compliance with cGMP or similar regulations or our contract manufacturers otherwise determine that they are not in compliance with these regulations, our contract manufacturers could experience an inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of Feraheme/Rienso to meet U.S. or foreign demand or incur unanticipated compliance expenditures.
We have also established certain testing and release specifications with the FDA and other foreign regulatory agencies. This release testing must be performed in order to allow the finished product to be used for commercial sale. If our finished product does not meet these release specifications or if the release testing is variable, we may not be able to supply product to meet our projected demand. In addition, variations in the regulatory approval of Feraheme/Rienso in the currently approved territories require that our third-party manufacturers follow different manufacturing processes and analytical testing methods. For example, in late 2012, we produced a batch of Rienso which did not meet our release specifications in the EU. As a result, we are incurring additional costs associated with the development, validation and technology transfer to Takeda of a more accurate assay in order to be able to release this batch and any future batches produced for sale in the EU. This new assay will require review and approval by the EMA. If we are unable to develop, validate, transfer or gain regulatory approval for the new release test, our ability to supply product to the EU will be adversely affected. Such setbacks could have an adverse impact on Feraheme/Rienso sales, our potential profitability and the future prospects of our business.
In the U.S. there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of federal and state legislative initiatives implemented to reform the healthcare system in ways that could adversely impact our business and our ability to sell Feraheme profitably.
In the U.S., there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals aimed at changing the U.S. healthcare system. For example, the Health Care Reform Act contains a number of provisions that significantly impact the pharmaceutical industry and may negatively affect our potential Feraheme revenues. Among other things, the Health Care Reform Act increased the minimum Medicaid drug rebates for pharmaceutical companies, extended the rebate provisions to Medicaid managed care organizations, and expanded the 340B Drug Discount Program under the Public Health Service Act. Substantial new provisions affecting compliance have also been added, which may require us to modify our business practices with healthcare providers and potentially incur additional costs. While we are continuing to evaluate these laws on and their potential impact on our business, these laws may adversely affect the pricing for Feraheme in the U.S. or cause us to incur additional expenses and therefore adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
In addition, various healthcare reform proposals have emerged at the state level in the U.S. We cannot predict the impact that newly enacted laws or any future legislation or regulation will have on us. We expect that there will continue to be a number of U.S. federal and state proposals to implement governmental pricing controls and limit the growth of healthcare costs. These efforts could adversely affect our business by, among other things, limiting the prices that can be charged for Feraheme or the amount of reimbursement rates and terms available from governmental agencies or third-party payors, limiting the profitability of Feraheme, increasing our rebate liability or limiting the commercial opportunity for Feraheme, including its acceptance by healthcare payors.
Wholesaler, distributor and customer buying patterns, particularly those who are members of a GPO, and other factors may cause our quarterly results to fluctuate, and these fluctuations may adversely affect our short-term results.
Our results of operations, including, in particular, product sales revenues, may vary from period to period due to a variety of factors, including the buying patterns of our U.S. wholesalers and distributors, which vary from quarter to quarter. In addition, our contracts with GPOs require certain performance from the members of the GPOs such as growth over prior periods or certain market share attainment goals in order to qualify for discounts off the list price of Feraheme and a GPO may be able to influence the demand for Feraheme from its members in a particular quarter through communications they make to their customers. In the event wholesalers and distributors with whom we do business in the U.S. determine to limit their purchases of Feraheme, sales of Feraheme could be adversely affected. For example, in advance of an anticipated price increase, following the publication of our quarterly average selling price which affects the rate at which Feraheme is reimbursed, or a reduction in expected rebates or discounts, customers may order Feraheme in larger than normal quantities which could cause sales of Feraheme to be lower in subsequent quarters than they would have been otherwise. Further, any changes in purchasing patterns, inventory levels, increases in returns of Feraheme, delays in purchasing products or delays in payment for products by one of our distributors or GPOs could also have a negative impact on our revenue and results of operations.
Our inability to obtain raw and other materials used in the manufacture of Feraheme/Rienso could adversely impact our ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of Feraheme/Rienso, which would have an adverse impact on our business.
We and our third-party manufacturers currently purchase certain raw and other materials used to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso from third-party suppliers and at present do not have long-term supply contracts with most of these third parties. These third-party suppliers may cease to produce the raw or other materials used in Feraheme/Rienso or otherwise fail to supply these materials to us or our third-party manufacturers or fail to supply sufficient quantities of these materials to us or our third-party manufacturers in a timely manner for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the following:
· Unexpected demand for or shortage of raw or other materials;
· Adverse financial developments at or affecting the supplier;
· Regulatory requirements or action;
· An inability to provide timely scheduling and/or sufficient capacity;
· Manufacturing difficulties;
· Labor disputes or shortages; or
· Import or export problems.
If any of our third-party suppliers cease to supply certain raw or other materials to us or our third-party manufacturers for any reason we could be unable to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso in sufficient quantities, on a timely basis, or in a cost-effective manner until we are able to qualify an alternative source. For example, one of the key components in ferumoxytol is produced specifically for us by a third-party supplier and if our third-party supplier is no longer able to supply it to us we will be unable to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso until we are able to identify and qualify an alternative supplier. This or any other interruption in our third-party supply chain could adversely affect our ability to satisfy commercial demand and our clinical development needs for Feraheme/Rienso.
The qualification of an alternative source may require repeated testing of the new materials and generate greater expenses to us if materials that we test do not perform in an acceptable manner. In addition, we or our third-party manufacturers sometimes obtain raw or other materials from one vendor only, even where multiple sources are available, to maintain quality control and enhance working relationships with suppliers, which could make us susceptible to price inflation by the sole supplier, thereby increasing our production costs. As a result of the high quality standards imposed on our raw or other materials, we or our third-party manufacturers may not be able to obtain such materials of the quality required to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso from an alternative source on commercially reasonable terms, or in a timely manner, if at all.
Even if we are able to obtain raw or other materials from an alternative source, if these raw or other materials are not available in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms, we would be unable to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso, both for commercial sale and for use in our clinical trials, on a timely and cost-effective basis, which could cause us to lose money. Any such difficulty in obtaining raw or other materials could severely hinder our ability to manufacture Feraheme/Rienso and could have a material adverse impact on our ability to generate additional revenues and to achieve profitability.
If we fail to comply with our reporting and payment obligations under U.S. governmental pricing programs, we could be required to reimburse government programs for underpayments and could pay penalties, sanctions and fines which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a condition of reimbursement by various U.S. federal and state healthcare programs for Feraheme, we are required to calculate and report certain pricing information to U.S. federal and state healthcare agencies. For example, we are required to provide ASP information to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on a quarterly basis in order to compute Medicare Part B payment rates. Price reporting and payment obligations are highly complex and vary among products and programs. The calculation of ASP includes a number of inputs from our contracts with wholesalers, specialty distributors, GPOs and other customers. It also requires us to make an assessment of whether these agreements are deemed to be for bona fide services and that the services are deemed to be at fair market value in our industry and for our products. Our processes for estimating amounts due under these governmental pricing programs involve subjective decisions. As a result, our price reporting calculations remain subject to the risk of errors and our methodologies for calculating these prices could be challenged under the Federal False Claims Act or other laws. In addition, the Health Care Reform Act modified the rules related to certain price reports and expanded the scope of pharmaceutical product sales to which Medicaid rebates apply, among other things. Presently, uncertainty exists as many of the specific determinations necessary to implement this new legislation have yet to be decided and communicated to industry participants. This uncertainty in the interpretation of the legislation increases the chances of an error in price reporting, which could in turn lead to a legal challenge, restatement or investigation. If we become subject to investigations, restatements, or other inquiries concerning our compliance with price reporting laws and regulations, we could be required to pay or be subject to additional reimbursements, penalties, sanctions or fines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we or Takeda market or distribute Feraheme/Rienso in a manner that violates federal, state or foreign healthcare fraud and abuse laws, marketing disclosure laws or other federal, state or foreign laws and regulations, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties.
In addition to FDA and related regulatory requirements in the U.S. and abroad, we are subject to extensive additional federal, state and foreign healthcare regulation, which includes but is not limited to, the Federal False Claims Act, the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and their state analogues, and similar laws in countries outside of the U.S., and government price reporting laws.
False claims laws prohibit anyone from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented for payment to third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, false or fraudulent claims for reimbursed drugs or services, claims for items or services not provided as claimed, or claims for medically unnecessary items or services. Anti-kickback laws make it illegal to solicit, offer, receive or pay any remuneration in exchange for, or to induce, the referral of business, including the purchase or prescription of a particular drug, that is reimbursed by a state or federal program. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar foreign anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Similar laws and regulations exist in many other countries throughout the world in which we intend to commercialize Feraheme/Rienso through Takeda and our other licensees. We have developed and implemented a corporate compliance program based on what we believe are current best practices in the pharmaceutical industry, but we cannot guarantee that we, our employees, our consultants or our contractors are or will be in compliance with all federal, state and foreign regulations. If we, our representatives, or our licensees, including Takeda, fail to comply with any of these laws or regulations, a range of fines, penalties and/or other sanctions could be imposed on us and/or Takeda, including, but not limited to, restrictions on how we and/or Takeda market and sell Feraheme/Rienso, significant fines, exclusions from government healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, litigation, or other sanctions. Even if we are not determined to have violated these laws, government investigations into these issues typically require the expenditure of significant resources and generate negative publicity, which could also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In recent years, several U.S. states have enacted legislation requiring pharmaceutical companies to establish marketing and promotional compliance programs or codes of conduct and/or to file periodic reports with the state or make periodic public disclosures on sales, marketing, pricing, clinical trials, and other activities. Similar legislation is being considered by additional states and foreign governments. In addition, as part of the Health Care Reform Act, the federal government has enacted the Physician Payment Sunshine Act and related regulations. Beginning in August 2013, manufacturers of drugs are required to capture information to allow for the public reporting of gifts and payments made to physicians and teaching hospitals. Many of these requirements are new and uncertain, and the penalties for failure to comply with these requirements are unclear. Compliance with these laws is difficult, time consuming and costly, and if we are found to not be in full compliance with these laws, we may face enforcement actions, fines and other penalties, and we could receive adverse publicity which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to comply with any federal, state or foreign laws or regulations governing our industry, we could be subject to a range of regulatory actions that could adversely affect our ability to commercialize Feraheme/Rienso, harm or prevent sales of Feraheme/Rienso, or substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing and marketing Feraheme/Rienso, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a history of net losses, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to achieve and maintain profitability in the future.
We have a history of significant operating losses, we may not be profitable in the future, and if we do attain profitability, such profitability may not be sustainable. In the past, we have financed our operations primarily from the sale of our equity securities, cash from sales of Feraheme/Rienso, cash generated by our investing activities, and payments from our licensees. As of March 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $460.6 million. Our losses were primarily the result of costs incurred in our efforts to manufacture, market and sell Feraheme/Rienso, including costs associated with maintaining our commercial infrastructure and marketing and promotion costs, research and development costs, such as costs associated with our clinical trials, and selling, general and administrative costs. We expect to continue to incur
significant expenses as we continue to manufacture, market and sell Feraheme as an IV iron replacement therapeutic for use in adult CKD patients in the U.S., and as we further develop and seek marketing approval for Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in a broad range of patients. As a result, we will need to generate sufficient revenues in future periods to achieve and maintain profitability. We anticipate that the majority of any revenue we generate in the next twelve months will be from sales of Feraheme/Rienso as an IV iron replacement therapeutic agent for use in adult CKD patients in the U.S. and royalties we may receive with respect to sales of Feraheme/Rienso in Canada, Switzerland and the EU under the Amended Takeda Agreement. We have never independently marketed or sold any products prior to Feraheme, and we or Takeda may not be successful in marketing or selling Feraheme/Rienso. If we or Takeda are not successful in marketing and selling Feraheme/Rienso, if revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate or if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, or if we are otherwise unable to achieve, maintain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock may decline.
We have limited experience independently commercializing a pharmaceutical product, and any failure on our part to effectively execute our Feraheme commercial plans in the U.S. would have an adverse impact on our business.
Prior to our commercialization of Feraheme in the U.S., we had never independently marketed or sold a drug product as we had relied on our licensees to market and sell our previously approved products. We have an internal commercial infrastructure to market and sell Feraheme in the U.S., and if we are unsuccessful in maintaining an effective commercial function or experience a high level of employee turnover, then the commercialization of Feraheme could be severely impaired. For example, we reduced our workforce in 2011 as part of an overall corporate restructuring, including certain positions within our commercial function, with further restructuring occurring in 2012. These workforce reductions or any future reductions or departures, could harm our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, which could prevent us from successfully commercializing Feraheme in the U.S., impair our ability to maintain sales levels and/or impair our ability to support potential sales growth and sales of Feraheme for any additional indications we may commercialize in the future. Any failure by us to successfully commercialize Feraheme in the U.S. could have a material adverse impact on our ability to generate revenues, our ability to achieve profitability, and the future prospects for our business.
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain key employees, and any failure to do so may be disruptive to our operations.
Because of the specialized nature of our business, our success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our executive officers and on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified executive, sales, technical operations, managerial, scientific, and medical personnel. We have entered into employment agreements with most of our current senior executives, but such agreements do not guarantee that these executives will remain employed by us for any significant period of time, or at all. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in the areas of our activities, and we may not be able to continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business.
Previously implemented workforce reductions could residually harm our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. In addition, any restructuring plans we may initiate in the future may be disruptive to our operations and could harm our ability to attract and retain qualified key personnel. For example, cost saving measures may distract management from our core business, harm our reputation, or yield unanticipated consequences, such as attrition beyond planned reductions in workforce, increased difficulties in our day-to-day operations, reduced employee productivity and a deterioration of employee morale. Any workforce reductions could also harm our ability to attract and retain qualified executive, sales, technical operations, managerial, scientific, and medical personnel who are critical to our business. Furthermore,
because we are currently operating with fewer employees and service providers, any further turnover, whether occurring as part of a restructuring plan or otherwise, could cause significant disruption if we are unable to implement or maintain a sufficient succession plan for certain personnel or departments. Any failure to attract, retain or replace qualified personnel could prevent us from successfully commercializing and developing Feraheme, impair our ability to maintain sales levels and/or support potential sales growth.
Moreover, although we believe it is necessary to reduce the cost of our operations to improve our performance, these initiatives may preclude us from making potentially significant expenditures that could improve our competitiveness over the longer term. We cannot guarantee that any cost reduction measures, or other measures we may take in the future, will result in the expected cost savings, or that any cost savings will be unaccompanied by these or other unintended consequences.
We have limited experience independently distributing a pharmaceutical product, and our Feraheme/Rienso commercialization plans could suffer if we fail to effectively manage and maintain our supply chain and distribution network.
We do not have significant experience in managing and maintaining a supply chain and distribution network, and we are placing substantial reliance on third parties to perform product supply chain services for us. Such services include packaging, warehousing, inventory management, storage and distribution of Feraheme/Rienso. We have contracted with Packaging Coordinators, Inc. (formerly Catalent Pharma Solutions, LLC), or PCI, to provide certain labeling, packaging and storage services for final U.S. and Canadian Feraheme drug product. In addition, we have contracted with Integrated Commercialization Services, Inc., or ICS, to be our exclusive third-party logistics provider to perform a variety of functions related to the sale and distribution of Feraheme in the U.S., including services related to warehousing and inventory management, distribution, chargeback processing, accounts receivable management and customer service call center management. If PCI or ICS are unable to provide uninterrupted labeling, packaging and storage services or supply chain services, respectively, we may incur substantial losses of sales to wholesalers or other purchasers of Feraheme.
In addition, the packaging, storage and distribution of Feraheme/Rienso in the U.S. and abroad requires significant coordination among our and Takedas manufacturing, sales, marketing and finance organizations and multiple third parties including our third-party logistics provider, packaging, labeling and storage provider, distributors, and wholesalers. In most cases, we do not currently have back-up suppliers or service providers to perform these tasks. If any of these third parties experience significant difficulties in their respective processes, fail to maintain compliance with applicable legal or regulatory requirements, fail to meet expected deadlines or otherwise do not carry out their contractual duties to us, or encounter physical or natural damages at their facilities, our ability to deliver Feraheme/Rienso to meet U.S. or foreign commercial demand could be significantly impaired. The loss of any of our third-party providers, together with a delay or inability to secure an alternate distribution source for end-users in a timely manner, could cause the distribution of Feraheme/Rienso to be delayed or interrupted, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on third parties in the conduct of our business, including our clinical trials and manufacturing, and if they fail to fulfill their obligations, our commercialization and development plans may be adversely affected.
We rely and intend to continue to rely on third parties, including CROs, third-party manufacturers, third-party logistics providers, packaging and labeling providers, wholesale distributors and certain other important vendors and consultants in the conduct of our business. As a result of the current volatile and unpredictable global economic situation, there may be a disruption or delay in the performance or satisfaction of commitments to us by our third-party contractors or suppliers. For example, our distributors,
customers or suppliers may experience difficulty in obtaining the financial resources necessary to purchase inventory or raw or other materials, may begin to maintain lower inventory levels or may become insolvent. If such third parties are unable to adequately satisfy their contractual commitments to us in a timely manner, our business could be severely adversely affected.
In addition, we have contracted and plan to continue to contract with certain third parties to provide certain services, including site selection, enrollment, monitoring, data management and other services, in connection with the conduct of our clinical trials and the preparation and filing of our regulatory applications. We have limited experience conducting clinical trials outside the U.S., and, therefore, we are also largely relying on third parties such as CROs to manage, monitor and carry out these clinical trials. Although we depend heavily on these parties, we do not control them and, therefore, we cannot be assured that these third parties will adequately perform all of their contractual obligations to us. If our third-party service providers cannot adequately fulfill their obligations to us in a timely and satisfactory manner, if the quality and accuracy of our clinical trial data or our regulatory submissions are compromised due to poor quality or failure to adhere to our protocols or regulatory requirements or if such third parties otherwise fail to adequately discharge their responsibilities or meet deadlines, our development plans and planned regulatory submissions both in and outside of the U.S may be delayed or terminated, which would adversely impact our ability to generate revenues from Feraheme/Rienso sales in additional indications and/or outside of the U.S.
Our operating results will likely fluctuate so you should not rely on the results of any single quarter to predict how we will perform over time.
Our future operating results will likely vary from quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors, some of which we cannot control, including but not limited to:
· The magnitude of U.S. Feraheme sales;
· The loss of a key customer or GPO;
· The impact of any pricing strategies we have implemented or may implement related to Feraheme, including the magnitude of rebates and/or discounts we may offer, or changes in pricing by our competitors or a new entrant into the market;
· The introduction of new competitive products in the iron replacement therapeutic market, such as Injectafer®, if approved or generic versions of new or currently available drug therapies;
· Any expansion or contraction of the overall size of the IV iron market, which could result from a number of factors including but not limited to changes in treatment guidelines or practices related to IDA;
· Any changes to the mix of our business;
· Changes in buying patterns, fees and inventory levels of our wholesalers or distributors;
· The timing and magnitude of milestone payments, product sales revenues and royalties we may receive from Takeda under the Amended Takeda Agreement;
· The initiation or outcome of any material litigation or patent challenges to which we are or become a party and the magnitude of costs associated with such litigation;
· The timing and magnitude of costs associated with the commercialization of Feraheme in the U.S., including costs associated with maintaining our commercial infrastructure and executing our promotional and marketing strategy;
· The magnitude of costs incurred in connection with business development activities or business development transactions into which we enter;
· Changes in accounting estimates related to reserves on revenue, returns, or other accruals or changes in the timing and availability of government or customer discounts, rebates and incentives;
· Further asset write-downs related to property and equipment or assets held for sale;
· Changes in the actual or perceived safety or efficacy profile of Feraheme/Rienso, or products that compete with Feraheme/Rienso that could cause customers to increase, reduce or discontinue their use of Feraheme/Rienso;
· The timing and magnitude of costs associated with commercial-scale manufacturing of Feraheme/Rienso, including costs of raw and other materials and costs associated with maintaining commercial inventory and qualifying additional manufacturing capacities and alternative suppliers;
· The timing and magnitude of costs associated with our ongoing and planned clinical studies of Feraheme/Rienso in connection with our pediatric program, our post-marketing commitments for the EMA and other regulatory agencies, our pursuit of additional indications and our development of Feraheme/Rienso in countries outside of the U.S;
· The costs associated with manufacturing batch failures or inventory write-offs due to out-of-specification release testing or ongoing stability testing that results in a batch no longer meeting specifications;
· Changes in reimbursement practices and laws and regulations affecting Feraheme/Rienso from federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatory authorities, government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other third-party payors; and
· The implementation of new or revised accounting or tax rules or policies.
As a result of these and other factors, our quarterly operating results could fluctuate, and this fluctuation could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Results from one quarter should not be used as an indication of future performance.
If the estimates we make, or the assumptions on which we rely, in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements prove inaccurate, our actual results may vary from those reflected in our projections and accruals.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, the amounts of charges accrued by us, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates our critical and other significant estimates and judgments, including among others those associated with revenue recognition
related to product sales and collaboration agreements, product sales allowances and accruals, assessing investments for potential other-than-temporary impairment and determining the values of investments, estimates used to measure the fair value of our held for sale assets, accrued expenses, income taxes and equity-based compensation expense. We base our estimates on market data, our observance of trends in our industry, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. If actual results differ from these estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial results and the performance of our stock.
As part of our revenue recognition policy, our estimates of product returns, rebates and chargebacks, fees and other discounts require subjective and complex judgments due to the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Any significant differences between our actual results and our estimates could materially affect our financial position and results of operations. For example during 2012, we revised our estimated Medicaid reserve rate, which resulted in a reduction of our estimated Medicaid rebate reserve related to prior Feraheme sales of $0.6 million. Further, during 2012, we reduced our reserve for product returns by approximately $2.2 million due to a lower than expected actual returns rate since the 2009 launch of Feraheme as well as a reduction in our expected rate of product returns in the future.
In addition, to determine the required quantities of Feraheme and the related manufacturing schedule, we also need to make significant judgments and estimates based on inventory levels, current market trends, anticipated sales, forecasts from our licensees, including Takeda, and other factors. Because of the inherent nature of estimates, there could be significant differences between our and Takedas estimates and the actual amount of product need. For example, the level of our access to wholesaler and distributor inventory levels and sales data in the U.S., which varies based on the wholesaler or distributor, affects our ability to accurately estimate certain reserves included in our financial statements. Any difference between our estimates and the actual amount of product demand could result in unmet demand or excess inventory, each of which would adversely impact our financial results and results of operations.
We and/or Takeda are subject to ongoing U.S. and foreign regulatory obligations and oversight of Feraheme/Rienso, and any failure by us to maintain compliance with applicable regulations may result in several adverse consequences including the suspension of the manufacturing, marketing and sale of Feraheme/Rienso, the incurrence of significant additional expense and other limitations on our ability to commercialize Feraheme/Rienso.
We and/or Takeda are subject to ongoing regulatory requirements and review both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions pertaining to Feraheme/Riensos manufacture, labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, storage, marketing, promotion and record keeping. Failure to comply with such regulatory requirements or the later discovery of previously unknown problems with Feraheme/Rienso or our third-party contract manufacturing facilities or processes by which we manufacture Feraheme/Rienso may result in restrictions on our ability to manufacture, market or sell Feraheme/Rienso, including its withdrawal from the market. Any such restrictions could result in a decrease in Feraheme/Rienso sales, damage to our reputation or the initiation of lawsuits against us, Takeda, or our third-party contract manufacturers. We and/or Takeda may also be subject to additional sanctions, including but not limited to:
· Warning letters;
· Civil or criminal penalties;
· Suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;
· Temporary or permanent closing of the facilities of our third-party contract manufacturers;
· Requirements to communicate with physicians and other customers about concerns related to actual or potential safety, efficacy, or other issues involving Feraheme/Rienso;
· Changes to the Feraheme/Rienso package insert, such as potential limitations on the current dosage and administration of Feraheme/Rienso or IV irons as a class;
· Implementation of risk mitigation programs;
· Restrictions on our continued manufacturing, marketing or sale of Feraheme/Rienso; or
· Recalls or a refusal by regulators to consider or approve applications for additional indications.
Any of the above sanctions could have a material adverse impact on our ability to generate revenues and to achieve profitability and cause us to incur significant additional expenses.
The FDA and other regulatory agencies strictly regulate the promotional claims that may be made about prescription products. If we are found to have improperly promoted off-label uses, we may become subject to significant fines and other liability.
The FDA and other regulatory agencies strictly regulate the promotional claims that may be made about prescription products. In particular, a product may not be promoted for uses that are not approved by the FDA or such other regulatory agencies as reflected in the products approved labeling. If we are found to have promoted such off-label uses, we may become subject to significant government fines and other related liability. For example, the U.S. government has levied large civil and criminal fines against companies for alleged improper promotion and has enjoined several companies from engaging in off-label promotion. The government has also required companies to enter into complex corporate integrity agreements and/or non-prosecution agreements that can impose significant restrictions and other burdens on the affected companies.
In addition, incentives exist under applicable U.S. law that encourage employees and physicians to report violations of rules governing promotional activities for pharmaceutical products. These incentives could lead to so called whistleblower lawsuits as part of which such persons seek to collect a portion of moneys allegedly overbilled to government agencies due to, for example, promotion of pharmaceutical products beyond labeled claims. Such lawsuits, whether with or without merit, are typically time consuming and costly to defend. Such suits may also result in related shareholder lawsuits, which are also costly to defend.
Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile, and your investment in our stock could decline in value or fluctuate significantly.
The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile, and your investment in our stock could decline in value or fluctuate significantly. Our stock price has ranged between $12.43 and $23.98 in the fifty-two week period through April 25, 2013. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals sectors, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Various factors and events, many of which are beyond our control, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. Factors which may affect the market price of our common stock include, among others:
· Our ability to successfully commercialize Feraheme in the U.S. and Takedas ability to successfully commercialize Feraheme/Rienso in licensed territories outside of the U.S.;
· The timing and magnitude of Feraheme/Rienso revenue and actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
· Changes in or our failure to meet financial estimates published by securities analysts or our own publicly disclosed financial guidance;
· Increases or decreases in our operating expenses or our gross margin on Feraheme/Rienso;
· Developments in patents or other proprietary rights by or for the benefit of us or our competitors, such as the recent decision by the EPO regarding our European ferumoxytol patent or decisions regarding Ferahemes NCE status or an ANDA filing by a generic entrant;
· The availability of reimbursement coverage for Feraheme/Rienso or changes in the reimbursement policies of U.S. or foreign governmental or private payors;
· Public announcements of U.S. or foreign regulatory actions with respect to Feraheme/Rienso or products or product candidates of our competitors;
· Actual or perceived safety concerns related to Feraheme/Rienso or products or product candidates of our competitors, including any actions taken by U.S. or foreign regulatory authorities in connection with such concerns;
· The status or results of clinical trials for Feraheme or products or product candidates of our competitors;
· The acquisition, development or regulatory approvals of technologies, product candidates or products by us or our competitors;
· Cash milestones earned, if any, under the Amended Takeda Agreement;
· The initiation or outcome of any material litigation or patent challenges to which we are or may become a party;
· Significant collaboration, product or business acquisitions, joint venture or similar agreements by us or our competitors;
· Shareholder activism and attempts to disrupt our strategy by activist investors;
· General market conditions; and
· Sales of large blocks of our common stock.
Thus, as a result of events both within and beyond our control, our stock price could fluctuate significantly or lose value rapidly.
If securities analysts downgrade our stock, cease coverage of us, or if our operating results do not meet analysts forecasts and expectations, our stock price could decline.
The trading market for our common stock relies in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us and our business. Currently, seven financial analysts publish reports about us and our business. We do not control these or any other analysts. Furthermore, there are many large, well-established, publicly traded companies active in our industry and market, which may mean that it is less likely that we will receive widespread analyst coverage. In addition, our future operating results are subject to substantial uncertainty, and our stock price could decline significantly if we fail to meet or exceed analysts forecasts and expectations. If any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or issue commentary or observations about us or our stock that are perceived by the market as negative, our stock price would likely decline rapidly. In addition, if these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could also cause our stock price to decline.
If our operating results do not meet our own publicly disclosed financial guidance our stock price could decline.
In 2013, we publicly provided financial guidance, including expected 2013 Feraheme/Rienso product sales, total revenue, estimated operating expenses, estimated cost of goods sold as a percent of sales, quarterly cash flow trajectory throughout 2013 and estimated year-end cash and cash equivalents balance. If, for any reason, we are unable to realize our expected revenue growth in 2013 and beyond, including as the result of a lower-than-anticipated impact of our 2013 price increases, we may fail to realize our publicly announced revenue and year-end cash and cash equivalents balance guidance. If we fail to realize or if we change or update any element of our publicly disclosed financial guidance or other expectations about our business, our stock price could decline in value.
We may need additional capital to achieve our business objectives.
We have expended and will continue to expend substantial funds to successfully commercialize and develop Feraheme. Our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
· Our ability to successfully commercialize Feraheme in the U.S. and Takedas ability to successfully commercialize Feraheme/Rienso in its licensed territories outside of the U.S.;
· The magnitude of U.S. Feraheme sales;
· The magnitude of Feraheme/Rienso sales and royalties we may receive from Takeda outside of the U.S.;
· Our ability to obtain regulatory approval for Feraheme/Rienso to treat IDA regardless of the underlying cause both within the U.S. and outside of the U.S., particularly in the EU;
· The success, costs and structure of any business or corporate development initiatives to bring additional products into our portfolio;
· The outcome of and costs associated with any material litigation or patent challenges to which we are or may become a party;
· Our ability to achieve the various milestones and receive the associated payments under the Amended Takeda Agreement;
· Costs associated with the U.S. commercialization of Feraheme, including costs associated with maintaining our commercial infrastructure, executing our promotional and marketing strategy for Feraheme, and conducting our required pediatric clinical studies and any post-marketing clinical studies;
· The timing and magnitude of costs associated with qualifying additional manufacturing capacities and alternative suppliers;
· Our ability to maintain successful collaborations with our licensees and/or to enter into additional alternative strategic relationships, if necessary; and
· Our ability to raise additional capital on terms and within a timeframe acceptable to us, if necessary.
We estimate that our cash resources as of March 31, 2013, combined with cash we currently expect to receive from sales of Feraheme/Rienso, from earnings on our investments, and potential royalty payments we may receive from Takeda will be sufficient to finance our currently planned operations for at least the next twelve months. We may require additional funds or need to establish additional alternative strategic arrangements to execute a business development transaction. We may at any time seek funding through additional arrangements with collaborators through public or private equity or debt financings. We may not be able to obtain financing or to secure alternative strategic arrangements on acceptable terms or within an acceptable timeframe, if at all.
Any additional equity financings or alternative strategic arrangements would be dilutive to our stockholders. In addition, the terms of any debt financing could greatly restrict our ability to raise additional capital and may provide rights and preferences to the investors in any such financing which are senior to those of, and not available to, current stockholders. Our inability to raise additional capital on terms and within a timeframe acceptable to us when needed could force us to dramatically reduce our expenses and delay, scale back or eliminate certain of our activities and operations, including our commercialization and development activities, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and future business prospects.
The investment of our cash is subject to risks, which may cause losses or adversely affect the liquidity of these investments and our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
As of March 31, 2013, we had $33.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $183.2 million in investments. These investments are subject to general credit, liquidity, market and interest rate risks, which have been and may, in the future, be exacerbated by a U.S. and/or global financial crisis. We may realize losses in the fair value of certain of our investments or a complete loss of these investments if the credit markets tighten, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
The condition of the credit markets remains unpredictable. As a result, we may experience a reduction in value or loss of liquidity with respect to our investments. In addition, should our investments cease paying or reduce the amount of interest paid to us, our interest income would suffer. Further, as part of our determination of the fair value of our investments, we consider credit ratings provided by independent investment rating agencies as of the valuation date. These ratings are subject to change. These market risks associated with our investment portfolio may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash position, liquidity and overall financial condition.
We are subject to increasingly complex corporate governance, public disclosure and accounting requirements that could adversely affect our business and financial results.
We are subject to changing rules and regulations of U.S. federal and state government as well as the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, have issued a significant number of new and increasingly complex requirements and regulations over the last several years and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to laws enacted by Congress. Our efforts to comply with these requirements have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, an increase in our expenses and a diversion of managements time from other business activities.
Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be limited as a result of future transactions involving our common stock.
In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a corporation that undergoes an ownership change is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses and certain other tax assets to offset future taxable income. In general, an ownership change occurs if the aggregate stock ownership of certain stockholders increases by more than 50 percentage points over such stockholders lowest percentage ownership during the testing period, which is generally three years. An ownership change could limit our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for taxable years including or following such ownership change. Limitations imposed on the ability to use net operating losses and tax credits to offset future taxable income could require us to pay U.S. federal income taxes earlier than we have estimated would otherwise be required if such limitations were not in effect and could cause such net operating losses and tax credits to expire unused, in each case reducing or eliminating the benefit of such net operating losses and tax credits and potentially adversely affecting our financial position. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.
Our business could be negatively affected as a result of the actions of activist shareholders.
Proxy contests have been waged against many companies in the biopharmaceutical industry over the last few years. For example, in 2011, MSMB Capital Management LLC, or MSMB Capital, filed a preliminary consent solicitation statement with the SEC seeking to remove and replace most of our then-current directors with MSMB Capitals nominees. The review, consideration and response to efforts by activist shareholders may require the expenditure of significant time and resources by us and may be a significant distraction for our management and employees. The impact of activist shareholders efforts due to these or other factors may undermine our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. If faced with a proxy contest, we may not be able to successfully defend against the contest, which would be disruptive to our business.
If we identify a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to meet our reporting obligations and the trading price of our stock could be negatively affected.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, a material weakness increases the risk that the financial information we report contains material errors.
We regularly review and update our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies. In addition, we are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to report annually on our internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal controls, however
well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. If we, or our independent registered public accounting firm, determine that our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective, or we discover areas that need improvement in the future, or we experience high turnover of our personnel in our financial reporting functions, these shortcomings could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results, and the price of our common stock could be negatively affected.
If we cannot conclude that we have effective internal control over our financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could lead to a decline in our stock price. Failure to comply with reporting requirements could also subject us to sanctions and/or investigations by the SEC, NASDAQ or other regulatory authorities.
An adverse determination in any current or future lawsuits in which we are a defendant, including the class action lawsuit to which we are currently a party, could have a material adverse effect on us.
A purported class action complaint was originally filed on March 18, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, entitled Silverstrand Investments et. al. v. AMAG Pharm., Inc., et. al., Civil Action No. 1:10-CV-10470-NMG, and was amended on September 15, 2010 and on December 17, 2010. The second amended complaint, or SAC, filed on December 17, 2010 alleged that we and our former President and Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Financial Officer, the then members of our Board of Directors, or Board, and certain underwriters in our January 2010 offering of common stock violated certain federal securities laws by making certain alleged false and misleading statements and omissions in a registration statement filed in January 2010. The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock pursuant to our common stock offering on or about January 21, 2010. On August 11, 2011, the District Court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the SAC in its entirety for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On September 14, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, or the Court of Appeals. After briefing was completed by all parties, the Court of Appeals heard oral argument on May 11, 2012, and took the matter under advisement. On February 4, 2013, the Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part the District Courts Opinion and Order, and remanded the case to the District Court. On February 19, 2013, we filed a Petition for Panel Hearing Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc, asking the Court of Appeals to reconsider its decision. On March 15, 2013, the Court of Appeals denied this petition. On March 22, 2013, we filed a Motion to Stay the Mandate remanding the case to the District Court pending review of the Court of Appeals February 4, 2013 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals granted this Motion to Stay the Mandate on April 8, 2013, and any petition for writ of certiorari must be filed by June 13, 2013. Whether or not the plaintiffs appeal is successful, this type of litigation is often expensive and diverts managements attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business. If we are ultimately required to pay significant defense costs, damages or settlement amounts, such payments could adversely affect our operations.
We may also be the target of similar litigation in the future. Any future litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our managements attention and resources, which could cause serious harm to our business, operating results and financial condition. Though we maintain liability insurance, if any costs or expenses associated with this or any other litigation exceed our insurance coverage, we may be forced to bear some or all of these costs and expenses directly, which could be substantial.
Product liability lawsuits could divert our resources, result in substantial liabilities and reduce the commercial potential of Feraheme/Rienso.
The administration of Feraheme/Rienso to humans, whether in clinical trials or after approval for commercial use, may expose us to liability claims, whether or not Feraheme/Rienso is actually at fault for causing an injury. As Feraheme/Rienso is used over longer periods of time by a wider group of patients taking numerous other medicines or by patients with additional underlying health problems, the likelihood of adverse drug reactions or unintended side effects, including death, may increase. Although we maintain product liability insurance coverage for claims arising from the use of our products in clinical trials and commercial use, coverage is expensive, and we may not be able to maintain sufficient insurance at a reasonable cost, if at all. Product liability claims, whether or not they have merit, could also decrease demand for Feraheme/Rienso, subject us to product recalls or harm our reputation, cause us to incur substantial costs, and divert managements time and attention.
Our shareholder rights plan, certain provisions in our charter and by-laws, certain contractual relationships and certain Delaware law provisions could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current members of our Board.
In 2009, we adopted a shareholder rights plan, the provisions of which are intended to deter a hostile takeover by making any proposed hostile acquisition of us more expensive and less desirable to a potential acquirer by enabling our stockholders (other than the potential hostile acquiror) to purchase significant amounts of additional shares of our common stock at dilutive prices. The rights issued pursuant to our shareholder rights plan become exercisable generally upon the earlier of 10 days after a person or group acquires 20% or more of our outstanding common stock or 10 business days after the announcement by a person or group of an intention to acquire 20% of our outstanding common stock via tender offer or similar transaction. The shareholder rights plan could delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control of us or our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current prices.
In addition, certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control or takeover attempt of our company by a third-party as well as substantially impede the ability of our stockholders to benefit from a change of control or effect a change in management and our Board. These provisions include:
· The ability of our Board to increase or decrease the size of the Board without stockholder approval;
· Advance notice requirements for the nomination of candidates for election to our Board and for proposals to be brought before our annual meeting of stockholders;
· The authority of our Board to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval;
· Non-cumulative voting for directors; and
· Limitations on the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders.
As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or Section 203, which prevents us from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder, which is defined generally as a person that acquires 15% or more of a corporations outstanding voting stock, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the
manner prescribed in Section 203. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by, or beneficial to, our stockholders.
In addition to the above factors, an acquisition of our company could be made more difficult by employment agreements we have in place with our executive officers, as well as a company-wide change of control policy, which provide for severance benefits as well as the full acceleration of vesting of any outstanding options or restricted stock units in the event of a change of control and subsequent termination of employment. Further, our Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan generally permits our Board to provide for the acceleration of vesting of options granted under that plan in the event of certain transactions that result in a change of control.
We are subject to environmental laws and potential exposure to environmental liabilities.
Because we use certain hazardous materials in the production of our products, we are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that govern our operations, including the import, handling and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous wastes, and emissions and discharges into the environment. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in costs for corrective action, penalties or the imposition of other liabilities. We also are subject to laws and regulations that impose liability and clean-up responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Under certain of these laws and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of property may be liable for the costs of remediating the release or spill of hazardous substances or petroleum products on or from its property, without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused, the contamination, and such owner or operator may incur liability to third parties impacted by such contamination. The presence of, or failure to remediate properly the release or spill of, these substances could adversely affect the value of, and our ability to transfer or encumber, our real property.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
There were no purchases by us, or any affiliated purchaser, of our equity securities which are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Re: Separation and Consulting Agreement
Dear Lee:
This letter sets forth the terms of the separation and consulting agreement (the Agreement) that AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMAG or the Company) and Lee F. Allen, M.D., Ph.D. (the Employee or you) have agreed to establish an amicable arrangement under which you provide certain consulting services and you release the Company from specified claims, and, in return, you receive severance pay and other benefits.
1. Separation. Your last day of employment as Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President of Clinical Development of the Company and your date of separation from service with the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (without regard to any permissible alternative definition thereunder) (a Separation from Service) will be March 31, 2013 (the Separation Date).
2. Accrued Salary and Vacation; Retention Bonus. On the Separation Date, and regardless of whether you enter into this Agreement, the Company will pay you (i) all accrued salary, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings, (ii) all accrued and unused vacation earned through the Separation Date (if any), subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings, and (iii) the amount of any unreimbursed business expenses. You are entitled to these payments whether or not you sign this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that on March 7, 2013, you received your bonus amount in connection with calendar year 2012. You shall also remain eligible to receive a one-time, lump sum bonus in the amount of $210,000, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings, pursuant to Section 2 of that Retention Agreement between you and the Company dated August 27, 2012 (the Retention Agreement), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.
3. Severance and Payments for Health Care Continuation Coverage.
(a) Severance Payments. As part of this Agreement, provided that you sign this Agreement within twenty-one (21) days of the Separation Date and do not revoke the ADEA Waiver as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, the Company will pay you, as severance, twelve (12) months of your base salary continuation of $375,000 on an annualized basis (i.e., your base salary in effect as of the Separation Date), less applicable taxes and withholdings (the Severance Payments).
(b) COBRA Payments. In addition, as part of this Agreement, provided that you sign this Agreement within twenty-one (21) days of the Separation Date and do not revoke the ADEA Waiver as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, to the extent you were participating
in the Companys group health plan prior to the Separation Date and elect continuation coverage as provided by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended, the Company will pay to you a monthly cash payment equal to the monthly premium that was in effect as of the Separation Date until the earlier of (i) six months from the Separation Date or (ii) the date you are provided with health and dental coverage by another employers health and dental plan (the COBRA Payments and, together with the Severance Payments, the Separation Payments).
(c) The Separation Payments shall be paid on the same payroll schedule on which current Company employees are paid during the twelve (12)-month period (or, with respect to the COBRA Payments, such lesser time period as set forth in the preceding sentence) beginning on the first payroll date following the Effective Date (as defined in Section 13). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines that the Separation Payments constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively Section 409A) and you are, as of the Separation Date, a specified employee of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of any adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Separation Payments shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of: (a) the date that is six months and one day after your Separation from Service or (b) the date of your death (such applicable date, the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date). On the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date, the Company (or the successor entity thereto, if applicable) shall (i) pay to you a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Separation Payments that you would otherwise have received through the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of such amounts had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section and (ii) commence paying the balance of the Separation Payments in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in this Agreement. The Company has determined that you have incurred a separation from service in accordance with Section 409A.
4. Consulting Agreement. In exchange for your entering into and complying with this Agreement, and provided that this Agreement becomes effective by its terms, the Company agrees to retain you in a consulting role under the terms specified below.
(a) Consulting Period. The consulting relationship will commence on the Separation Date and continue until March 31, 2014 unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4(k) below or extended as specifically provided herein or by agreement of you and the Company (the Consulting Period).
(b) Consulting Services. You agree to provide the consulting services specified on Exhibit A (the Consulting Services). You agree to exercise the highest degree of professionalism and utilize your expertise and talents in performing these services. When providing such Consulting Services, you shall abide by all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and the Companys policies and procedures.
(c) Consulting Fees. During the Consulting Period, you will receive a consulting fee in an amount equal to $500 per hour (Consulting Fee) for Consulting Services actually performed. On a monthly basis, you will provide an invoice setting forth the number of
hours worked, including the date(s) the work was performed and a brief description of the work performed on such dates, and submit such invoice within five (5) days of the last business day of each month, and your Consulting Fee shall be paid in a lump sum on the 15th day of the following month.
(d) Indemnification.
1. Indemnification for Periods on or Before Separation Date: The parties acknowledge and agree for periods on or before the Separation Date, the Company will indemnify you pursuant to the terms in the Indemnification Agreement between you and the Company on August 6, 2007 (the Indemnification Agreement).
2. Indemnification for Periods After the Separation Date: The parties acknowledge and agree for periods after the Separation Date, the Company will indemnify, defend and hold you harmless against any third party claims, including reasonable attorneys fees for defending those claims, related to you performing Consulting Services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (except to the extent such claims result from your breach of this Agreement, your gross negligence or willful misconduct).
(e) Equity Awards. As of the Separation Date, the Company will consider your change in status from an employee to a consultant to not constitute a termination of your continuous service or Business Relationship with the Company for purposes of and as defined in the Companys equity incentive plan (the Equity Plan) and the agreements governing your options, restricted stock units and other equity awards as set forth in Exhibit B (collectively, the Equity Awards). As a result, your Equity Awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms during your continuous service (provided that you remain in compliance with the terms of (i) this Agreement, including providing Consulting Services in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Agreement, (ii) Section 11 of that Amended and Restated Employment Agreement by and between you and the Company dated December 15, 2009, as amended by the Amendment dated February 1, 2011 and the Second Amendment dated November 3, 2011 (as amended, the Employment Agreement), (iii) Section 5 of the Retention Agreement and (iv) and your Nondisclosure and Developments Agreement dated August 6, 2007 (the Nondisclosure Agreement), and vesting of the Equity Awards will cease as of the earlier of either the termination of your continuous service, or the termination of the Consulting Period. You will be able to exercise your vested stock options within the time period provided in your operative Equity Award agreements with the Company and the Equity Plan. Note that your stock options may cease to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code to the extent such stock options previously would have qualified as incentive stock options. You are advised to seek tax guidance from your personal tax advisors with regard to the potential change in tax treatment of the stock options if you enter into this Agreement, as well as the other tax-related implications of this Agreement.
(f) Independent Contractor Relationship. Your relationship with the Company after the Separation Date shall be that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship after the Separation Date. It is understood and agreed that you will perform the Consulting Services under the general direction of the Companys Chief Executive
Officer, but that you will determine, in your discretion, the manner and means by which the Consulting Services are accomplished, subject to the express condition that you will at all times comply with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. After the Separation Date, you will not be entitled to any of the benefits which the Company may make available to its employees, including, but not limited to, group health or life insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits, other than your entitlement to continued group health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA due to your status as a former employee, and you expressly waiver any right to participate in any of the Companys employee benefit plans or perquisites.
(g) Taxes and Withholding. As a consultant, you will be solely responsible for, and will file, on a timely basis, all tax returns and payments required to be filed with, or made to, any federal, state or local tax authority with respect to the performance of services and receipt of Consulting Fees under this Agreement. You will be solely responsible for, and must maintain adequate records of, expenses incurred in the course of performing services under this Agreement. The Company will not withhold from the Consulting Fees any amount for taxes, social security or other payroll deductions. The Company will regularly report amounts paid to you by filing Form 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service as required by law. You acknowledge that you will be entirely responsible for payment of any such taxes, and you hereby indemnify, defend and save harmless the Company, and its officers and directors in their individual capacity, from any liability for any taxes, penalties or interest that may be assessed by any taxing authority with respect to the Consulting Fee, with the exception of the employers share of social security, if any.
(h) Other Compensation or Benefits. You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you will not receive from the Company any additional compensation, including but not limited to salary or bonuses, severance or employee benefits on or after the Separation Date.
(i) Limitations on Authority. You will have no responsibilities or authority as a consultant to the Company other than as provided herein. You will have no authority to bind the Company to any contractual obligations, whether written, oral or implied, except with the written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer (or a designee of the Chief Executive Officer). You agree not to represent or purport to represent the Company in any manner whatsoever to any third party unless authorized by the Company, in writing, to do so.
(j) Proprietary Information and Inventions. You agree that, during the Consulting Period and thereafter, you will not use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information or materials of the Company, including any confidential or proprietary information that you obtain or develop in the course of performing the Consulting Services. Any and all work product you create in the course of performing the Consulting Services will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You hereby assign to the Company all right, title, and interest in all inventions, techniques, processes, materials, and other intellectual property developed in the course of performing the Consulting Services. You further acknowledge your continuing obligations under your Nondisclosure Agreement not to use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information of the Company. A copy of your Nondisclosure Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(k) Other Work Activities. Subject to Section 5 of the Retention Agreement, you retain the right to engage in employment, consulting, or other work relationships in addition to your work for the Company. The Company will make reasonable arrangements to enable you to perform your work for the Company at such times and in such a manner so that it will not interfere with other activities in which you may engage. In order to protect the trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information of the Company, if you breach Section 5 of the Retention Agreement without the Companys express written consent, or otherwise materially breach this Agreement, the Consulting Period shall terminate, the Companys obligation to pay you the Separation Payments and/or the Consulting Fees will cease immediately, and your Equity Awards will cease vesting as provided in Section 4(d) of this Agreement.
(l) Other Termination of Consulting Period. The Company may not terminate the Consulting Period other than for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement). Further, this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of (i) your death during the Consulting Period or (ii) your refusal or failure to provide Consulting Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. You may terminate the Consulting Period at any time, for any reason, upon written notice to the Company, which termination shall extinguish the Companys obligation to pay you any further Consulting Fees and the vesting of your Equity Awards shall immediately cease. Upon termination of the Consulting Period by either party, the Company will pay only those Consulting Fees earned and expenses incurred through and including the effective date of such termination and the vesting of your Equity Awards shall immediately cease.
5. Expense Reimbursements.
(a) Business Expenses. You agree that, on or before the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company will reimburse you for these expenses to the extent reasonable pursuant to its regular business practice. Pursuant to its regular business practice, the Company will reimburse you for documented business expenses incurred during the Consulting Period, provided that these expenses have been pre-approved by the Chief Executive Officer in writing.
(b) Section 409A. All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements are subject to Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirements that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the period of time specified in this Agreement, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to set off or liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. This Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and operated in accordance with Section 409A in all respects.
6. Return of Company Property. On the Separation Date, you agree to return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property that you have in your possession or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes,
drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, financial information, specifications, training materials, computer-recorded information, tangible property including, but not limited to, computers, credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof). You agree that you will make a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information on the Separation Date. In addition, if you have used any personally owned computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any Company confidential or proprietary data, materials or information, then you agree to provide the Company, no later than five (5) business days after the Separation Date, with a computer-useable copy of all such information and then permanently delete and expunge such Company confidential or proprietary information from those systems without retaining any reproductions (in whole or in part). Your timely compliance with this Section 6 is a precondition to the Separation Payments to be provided pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may retain such documents, property, and materials during the Consulting Period only to the extent approved in writing by the Company and you shall return them immediately upon written request from the Company (and no later than upon termination or expiration of the Consulting Period).
7. Non-solicitation; Non-competition.
(a) Non-Solicitation. You agree that during the Consulting Period and for one year following the termination or expiration of the Consulting Period, you shall not directly or indirectly, whether through your own efforts, or in any way assisting or employing the assistance of any other person or entity (including, without limitation, any consultant or any person employed by or associated with any entity with which you are employed or associated), recruit, solicit or induce (or in any way assist another in recruiting, soliciting or inducing) any employee or consultant of the Company to terminate his or her employment or other relationship with the Company.
(b) Non-Competition. In addition, you acknowledge that certain of your obligations under the Employment Agreement and the Retention Agreement were intended to, and do in fact, survive the termination of your employment with the Company. You further agree and acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to relieve you of such ongoing obligations including, without limitation, those non-competition obligations set forth in Section 5 of the Retention Agreement.
(c) Payments. You further acknowledge that the Separation Payments provided for in Section 3 of this Agreement are in consideration for and contingent upon your continued compliance with any ongoing obligations under the Employment Agreement and the Retention Agreement and that such payments shall cease in the event you breach any of your contractual obligations set forth in the Employment Agreement or the Retention Agreement.
8. Confidentiality. The provisions of this Agreement will be held in strictest confidence by you and will not be publicized or disclosed in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that: (a) you may disclose this Agreement in confidence to your immediate family; (b) the parties may disclose this Agreement in confidence to their respective attorneys, accountants, auditors, tax preparers, and financial advisors; (c) the Company may disclose this Agreement to
fulfill standard or legally required corporate reporting or disclosure requirements; and (d) the parties may disclose this Agreement insofar as such disclosure may be necessary to enforce its terms or as otherwise required by law. In particular, and without limitation, you will not disclose the provisions of this Agreement to any current or former Company employee or any other Company personnel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Consulting Period you may disclose to third parties (including Company personnel) that you are a consultant to the Company.
9. Nondisparagement. You agree that as a condition for payment to you of the monetary consideration set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, you shall not make any false, disparaging or derogatory statements (written or oral) in public or private to any person or media outlet regarding the Company, the Released Parties (as defined in Section 11 of this Agreement), the Released Parties officers, directors, investors or employees, the Companys business practices, or which disrupts or impairs their normal operations, including actions that would (i) harm the Released Parties reputation with their current and prospective clients, business partners, or the public; or (ii) interfere with existing contracts or employment relationships with current and prospective clients, business partners or Released Parties employees, except if testifying accurately and truthfully under oath pursuant to a lawful court order or subpoena. If you receive such a court order or subpoena, to the extent allowed by law, you or your attorney shall provide the Company with a copy of such court order or subpoena within two (2) business days of your receipt of it and shall notify the Company of the content of any testimony or information to be provided and shall provide the Company with copies of all documents to be produced.
10. Arbitration. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with your employment or consulting relationship with the Company, you and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, your employment or consulting relationship with the Company, or the termination of your employment or consulting relationship, shall be resolved, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts conducted by JAMS, Inc. (JAMS) or its successor, under JAMS then applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both you and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or by administrative proceeding. You will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (1) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be available under applicable law in a court proceeding; and (2) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrators essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. You and the Company shall pay an equal share of all JAMS arbitration fees. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys fees, unless statutory law provides for fee shifting; however, the prevailing party in any arbitration will be entitled to seek an award of attorneys fees and costs from the arbitrator. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may
be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.
11. General Release. In exchange for the amounts described in Section 3 of this Agreement, and other the good and valuable consideration provided to you by this Agreement that you are not otherwise entitled to receive and the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 4(d) and Section 12 of this Agreement, you and your representatives, agents, estate, heirs, successors and assigns hereby generally and completely release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its current and former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, affiliates, and assigns (collectively, the Released Parties) of and from any and all actions or causes of action, suits, claims, complaints, contracts, liabilities, agreements, promises, torts, debts, damages, controversies, judgments, rights and demands, whether existing or contingent, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising on or before the date that you sign this Agreement (collectively, the Released Claims).

Restricted Stock Unit Agreement Terms and Conditions
AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) agrees to award to the recipient specified on the cover page hereof (the Recipient), and the Recipient agrees to accept from the Company, the number of restricted stock units (the RSUs) specified on the cover page hereof representing an equivalent number of shares of the Companys Common Stock (the Underlying Shares), on the following terms:
1. Grant Under Plan. This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the Agreement) is made pursuant to and is governed by the Companys Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and in effect from time to time (the Plan) and, unless the context otherwise requires or except as defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.
2. Vesting if Business Relationship Continues.
(a) Vesting Schedule.
(1) If the Recipient has maintained continuously a Business Relationship with the Company through a vesting date (as specified on Exhibit A), the RSUs shall vest on such date in such amounts as are determined in accordance with Exhibit A. If the Recipients Business Relationship with the Company is terminated by the Company or by the Recipient for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, no additional RSUs shall become vested RSUs under any circumstances with respect to the Recipient and any unvested RSUs shall be forfeited.
(2) Notwithstanding anything in any employment or other agreement to the contrary, the vesting of unvested RSUs shall be governed solely by this Agreement.
(3) Any determination under this Agreement as to Business Relationship status or other matters referred to above shall be made in good faith by the Board, whose decision shall be final and binding on all parties.
(b) Termination of Business Relationship. Business Relationship means service to the Company or its successor in the capacity of an employee, officer, director, consultant, or advisor. For purposes hereof, a Business Relationship shall not be considered as having terminated during any military leave, sick leave, or other leave of absence if approved in writing by the Company and if such written approval, or applicable law, contractually obligates the Company to continue the Business Relationship of the Recipient after the approved
period of absence (an Approved Leave of Absence). In the event of an Approved Leave of Absence, vesting of RSUs shall be suspended (and all subsequent vesting dates shall be postponed by the length of the period of the Approved Leave of Absence) unless otherwise provided in the Companys written approval of the leave of absence that specifically refers to this Agreement. For purposes hereof, a Business Relationship shall include a consulting arrangement between the Recipient and the Company that immediately follows termination of employment, but only if so stated in a written consulting agreement executed by the Company that specifically refers to this Agreement.
(c) Acceleration. The Board may at any time provide that the RSUs awarded pursuant to this Agreement shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, shall be free of some or all restrictions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be, despite the fact that the foregoing actions may cause the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if a change in control of the Company occurs.
3. Issuance of Underlying Shares. With respect to any RSUs that become vested RSUs pursuant to Section 2, subject to Sections 5, 6 and 8, the Company shall issue to the Recipient, as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date (as specified on Exhibit A with respect to any RSUs that become vested pursuant to Section 2(a)(1)), the number of Underlying Shares equal to the number of RSUs vesting on such vesting date, provided that, if the vesting date of any portion of the RSUs shall occur during either a regularly scheduled or special blackout period of the Company wherein Recipient is precluded from selling shares of the Companys Common Stock, the receipt of the corresponding Underlying Shares issuable with respect to such vesting date pursuant to this Agreement shall be deferred until after the expiration of such blackout period, unless such Underlying Shares are covered by a previously established Company-approved 10b5-1 plan of the Recipient, in which case the Underlying Shares shall be issued in accordance with the terms of such 10b5-1 plan. The Underlying Shares the receipt of which was deferred as provided above shall be issued to Recipient as soon as practicable after the expiration of the blackout period. Notwithstanding the above, subject to Section 8, in no event may the Underlying Shares with respect to any RSUs that become vested pursuant to Section 2(a)(1) be issued to the Recipient later than the later of: (a) December 31st of the calendar year in which vesting occurs, or (b) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following such vesting date; provided that the Recipient acknowledges and agrees that if the Underlying Shares are issued to the Recipient pursuant to this sentence while either a regularly scheduled or special blackout period is still in effect with respect to the Company or the Recipient, neither the Company nor the Recipient may sell any shares of the Companys Common Stock to satisfy any Tax Obligations except in compliance with the Companys insider trading policies and requirements and applicable laws. The form of such issuance (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such Underlying Shares) shall be determined by the Company.
4. Restrictions on Transfer. The Recipient shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or dispose of all or any of his or her RSUs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, the Recipient may designate a third party who, in the event of the Recipients death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive any distributions of Underlying Shares to which the Recipient is entitled at the time of his or her death pursuant to this Agreement.
5. Compliance with Law. The Recipients Award, and the issuance of the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Award, must comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and with the applicable regulations of any stock exchange on which the Underlying Shares may be listed for trading at the time of issuance. The Company shall not issue the Underlying Shares to the Recipient if the Company determines that such issuance would not be in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations (in which case issuance of the Underlying Shares shall occur at the earliest date at which the Company determines that delivery of the Underlying Shares will not cause any such violation or non-compliance).
6. Withholding Taxes. All grants made pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to withholding of all applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment, payroll, social insurance or other taxes resulting from the issuance or vesting of the RSUs or the delivery of the Underlying Shares (the Tax Obligations). The Recipient agrees to pay to the Company, or otherwise make adequate provisions satisfactory to the Company for the payment of, any sums required to satisfy the Tax Obligations at the time such Tax Obligations arise. The Company may, in its discretion, and the Recipient hereby agrees that and authorizes the Company on its behalf to, withhold, sell, and/or arrange for the sale of such number of Underlying Shares otherwise issuable to the Recipient pursuant to this Agreement as deemed necessary by the Company, in its sole discretion, to ensure that the Tax Obligations can be satisfied, including the right to sell shares having a fair market value greater than the Tax Obligations; provided, however, that for this purpose the Tax Obligations shall be computed based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local, and foreign income and employment tax purposes; provided, further, however, that if the Company decides to satisfy the Tax Obligations by withholding shares otherwise issuable hereunder (rather than by selling or arranging for the sale of shares on behalf of the Recipient), the Company shall not withhold shares having a fair market value greater than the Tax Obligations. The Recipient further agrees that, if the Company elects not to withhold, sell, or arrange for the sale of the amount of Underlying Shares sufficient to satisfy the full amount of the Tax Obligations, the Company may withhold such shortfall in cash from wages or other remuneration or the Recipient will deliver to the Company, in cash, the amount of such shortfall. The Recipient further agrees that the Recipient shall not sell any of the Underlying Shares during the period of time that the Company is acting on the Recipients behalf to withhold, sell, and/or arrange for the sale of the number of Underlying Shares necessary to satisfy the Recipients Tax Obligations. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, the Recipient may, by written notice to the Company at least ten business days before the applicable vesting date specified on the cover page hereof, elect to pay in cash the applicable Tax Obligations, or make other appropriate provisions acceptable to the Company for the payment of the applicable Tax Obligations, including the withholding from any payroll or other amounts due to the Recipient. The Company may refuse to issue
the Underlying Shares if the Recipient fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax Obligations as described in this Section.
Recipient further agrees to take any further actions and execute any additional documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 6, and the Recipient hereby grants the Company an irrevocable power of attorney to sign such additional documents on the Recipients behalf if the Company is unable after reasonable efforts to obtain Recipients signature on such additional documents. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable by the Recipient.
7. Provision of Documentation to Recipient. By signing the cover page of this Agreement, the Recipient acknowledges receipt of a copy of this entire Agreement, a copy of the Plan, and a copy of the Plans related prospectus.
8. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The RSUs granted hereunder are intended to avoid the potential adverse tax consequences to the Recipient of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, Section 409A) and the Board may make such modifications to this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable to avoid such adverse tax consequences. If the RSUs constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, any issuance of Underlying Shares under this Agreement because of a termination of the Business Relationship (i) will only occur if such termination is also a separation from service (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) under Section 409A (Separation from Service), and (ii) will be delayed until the earlier of (a) the date that is six months and one day after the Recipients Separation from Service or (b) the date of the Recipients death if the Recipient is, upon such Separation from Service, a specified employee of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.
9. Rights as Stockholder. The Recipient shall have no voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any RSUs covered by this Agreement until the issuance of the Underlying Shares.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, if to the Recipient, to the address set forth on the cover page hereof or at the address shown on the records of the Company, and if to the Company, to the Companys principal executive offices, attention of the Corporate Secretary.
(b) Entire Agreement; Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all proposals, written or oral, and all other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be
modified, amended or rescinded only by a written agreement executed by both parties signatories to this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
(c) Fractional RSUs or Underlying Shares. All fractional RSUs or Underlying Shares resulting from the adjustment provisions contained in the Plan shall be rounded down to the nearest whole unit or share.
(d) Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision.

Investments | C. Investments
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our investments equaled $183.2 million and $180.8 million, respectively, and consisted of securities classified as available-for-sale in accordance with accounting standards which provide guidance related to accounting and classification of certain investments in debt and equity securities.
The following is a summary of our investments as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):
Impairments and Unrealized Losses on Investments
The following is a summary of the fair value of our investments with unrealized losses that are deemed to be temporarily impaired and their respective gross unrealized losses aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):
We did not recognize any unrealized other-than-temporary impairment losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to our securities during either of the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012. Future events may occur, or additional information may become available, which may cause us to identify credit losses where we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a security and which may necessitate the recording of future realized losses on securities in our portfolio. Significant losses in the estimated fair values of our investments could have a material adverse effect on our earnings in future periods.
Realized Gains and Losses on Investments
Gains and losses are determined on the specific identification method. Realized gains were insignificant during both the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. |
