On December 15, 2011, Radius Health, Inc. (“Radius” or the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Ipsen Amendment”) to the Pharmaceutical Development Agreement (the “Pharmaceutical Development Agreement”), dated as of January 2, 2006, as amended on each of January 1, 2007, January 1, 2009 and June 16, 2010, between the Company and Beaufour Ipsen Industrie SAS.  The Pharmaceutical Development Agreement is contemplated by the terms of that certain License Agreement (the “License Agreement”), entered into as of September 27, 2005, between the Company and SCRAS SAS, a French corporation on behalf of itself and its affiliates (collectively, “Ipsen”).

 

The Pharmaceutical Development Agreement provides for the supply of quantities of licensed product for use in certain clinical trials. Beaufour Ipsen Industrie SAS is responsible for the supply of the Company’s BA058 Injection product in liquid form in a multi-dose cartridge for use in a pen delivery device. The multi-dose cartridges are manufactured for Beaufour Ipsen Industrie SAS by VETTER Pharma Ferigung GmbH & Co (“Vetter”) under a separate agreement between those parties, and the BA058 active pharmaceutical ingredient is manufactured by Lonza Group Ltd. (“Lonza”) for Radius and is delivered to Vetter for vialing in the multi-dose cartridges. The Pharmaceutical Development Agreement expires upon the completion of the work plan entered into thereunder (the “Work Plan”) unless it is sooner terminated. Pursuant to the Ipsen Amendment, Radius and Beaufour Ipsen Industrie SAS have agreed to further extend the duration and scope of the Work Plan such that Beaufour Ipsen Industrie SAS will test and release extra Phase III batches and run stability studies for an aggregate additional cost of up to €290,000.
