Item 8.01 Other Events.
On August 16, 2022, Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”)
and its subsidiary Intercept Pharma Europe Limited (“IPEL”) (collectively, “Intercept”) entered into a settlement
agreement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. (collectively, “Dr. Reddy’s”)
resolving the previously disclosed patent litigation concerning the submission by Dr. Reddy’s of an Abbreviated New Drug Application
(“ANDA”) seeking approval to market a generic version of Ocaliva® (obeticholic acid) 5 mg and 10 mg tablets prior to expiration
of the Company’s U.S. Patent Nos. RE48,286; 9,238,673; 10,047,117; 10,052,337; 10,174,073; 10,751,349; and 10,758,549.
Under the terms of the agreement, Intercept granted Dr. Reddy’s
a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, royalty-free license to commercialize its generic version of Ocaliva in the United
States commencing on October 26, 2035, or earlier under certain circumstances. The parties will file the settlement agreement with the
Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice pursuant to applicable law and will terminate their pending litigation pursuant
to a consent judgment that is subject to court approval. Similar patent litigation previously disclosed by the Company against five other
ANDA filers seeking approval to market generic Ocaliva remains pending.
