AMAG PHARMACEUTICALS,INC. (NASDAQ:AMAG) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December12, 2018, AMAG Pharmaceuticals,Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “AMAG”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Magellan Merger Sub,Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Perosphere Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Perosphere”), and Bryan E. Laulicht, as the representative of holders of Perosphere common stock, preferred stock, stock options and warrants (the “Perosphere Equityholders”). The Merger Agreement provides that at the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Perosphere, with Perosphere continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Boards of Directors of the Company, Perosphere and Merger Sub have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein and the Merger Agreement has been adopted by the requisite vote of Perosphere stockholders.Perosphere is a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing ciraparantag, a small molecule anticoagulant reversal agent.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Company will pay to Perosphere Equityholders an aggregate of $50 million (the “Upfront Merger Consideration”), which amount is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement based on, among other things, Perosphere’s working capital, cash, transaction expenses and specified indebtedness (including its $10 million convertible note payable to the Company) as of the Effective Time. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay off, at the Effective Time, up to $12 million of Perosphere’s outstanding term loan indebtedness and up to $6.2 million of Perosphere’s other liabilities, which will not reduce the payments to Perosphere Equityholders. At the Effective Time, $7.5 million of the Upfront Merger Consideration (the “Escrow Amount”) will be deposited into an escrow fund to secure the indemnification and other obligations of the Perosphere Equityholders under the Merger Agreement, with one-half of the escrow amount to be released 18 months after the Effective Time and the remainder to be released three years after the Effective Time (in each case, less any amounts for pending or resolved indemnification claims). Under the Merger Agreement, additional amounts may be withheld at the Effective Time from the Upfront Merger Consideration and deposited into a separate escrow fund to secure the obligations of the Perosphere Equityholders to pay certain adjustments to the Upfront Merger Consideration in certain circumstances.

Under the Merger Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay future contingent consideration of up to $365 million, of which up to $140 million would become payable upon the achievement of specified regulatory milestones and based on a final label in the United States with no boxed warning, inclusive of a $40 million milestone payment upon approval by the European Medicines Agency, and up to $225 million upon the achievement of specified sales milestones, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Milestone Payments”). The first sales Milestone Payment of $20 million would be payable upon the Company’s reporting annual net sales of ciraparantag of at least $100 million.

At the Effective Time, all outstanding shares of Perosphere common stock and preferred stock and all outstanding options and warrants to purchase Perosphere stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the Upfront Merger Consideration and any Milestone Payment that becomes payable, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The survival of the parties’ respective representations and warranties generally is limited to 18 months following the Effective Time, except that specified “fundamental representations” will survive until 180 days after the expiration of all statutes of limitations applicable to the matters referred to therein. The Company and the Perosphere Equityholders have agreed to indemnify each other for specified matters, including breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. The Company will not be entitled to any indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties of Perosphere (other than fundamental representations) except to the extent the aggregate amount of losses incurred by the Company exceeds $250,000. The indemnification obligations of the Perosphere Equityholders generally are limited to the Escrow Amount except that, in certain circumstances, the Milestone Payments may be offset to satisfy indemnification obligations of the Perosphere Equityholders.

The Company’s obligation to complete the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of Perosphere’s representations and warranties, compliance with its

covenants and the absence of a material adverse effect on Perosphere. The Company intends to fund the Upfront Merger Consideration from cash on hand.

The Merger Agreement includes customary termination rights, including upon mutual consent of the parties, certain breaches of the parties’ respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements and the failure of the Merger to have been completed on or before March15, 2019.

The Company plans to utilize a coagulometer, currently being developed by Perosphere Technologies Inc. under an agreement with Persophere, as part of the Phase 3 ciraparantag clinical program.

The above description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete, provides only a summary of the material terms of the Merger Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement as of the specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
