Item 8.01
Other Events.

On May 24, 2016, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum”), Allos Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”), and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Teva”), entered into a settlement agreement to resolve their patent litigation relating to Folotyn® (pralatrexate injection).  As a result of the settlement, Teva will be permitted to market a generic version of Folotyn in the United States on December 1, 2022 or earlier under certain circumstances.  Details of the settlement are confidential, and the parties will submit the agreement to the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice.  The parties will request that the court enter an order, in which it will dismiss the Company’s litigation against Teva.  The Company’s litigation against other generic filers continues.  This litigation is described in further detail in Part II, Item 1 of Spectrum’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2016.
