Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 12, 2021, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(“Regeneron” or the “Company”) entered into a supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”)
with the Army Contracting Command, New Jersey, an entity acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (collectively, the “U.S. Government”), to manufacture and supply to the U.S. Government
casirivimab and imdevimab, the Company’s novel investigational dual antibody
therapy that has received an Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(the “FDA”) for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in high-risk non-hospitalized patients (the “EUA
Indication”). Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, the U.S. Government is obligated to purchase all filled and finished
doses of drug product delivered by June 30, 2021, up to 1.25 million doses total, and may accept doses during the period
from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021 at its discretion. The U.S. Government will acquire doses at the lowest
dose authorized or approved by the FDA for the EUA Indication prior to or on the date of delivery for a price of $2,100 per dose,
resulting in payments to Regeneron of up to $2.625 billion in the aggregate. Under the EUA, the current authorized dose for the
EUA Indication is 2,400 mg; and Regeneron is evaluating the safety and efficacy of a lower 1,200 mg dose. A number of factors
may impact available filled and finished supply by June 30, 2021, including manufacturing considerations and authorized dose
levels. The Company is also obligated to distribute the filled and finished drug product to patient care sites as directed by
the U.S. Government.
The Supply Agreement contains terms and
conditions that are customary for U.S. Government agreements of this nature, including provisions giving the U.S. Government the
right to terminate the Supply Agreement for convenience. If the Supply Agreement is terminated for convenience prior to completion,
Regeneron is entitled to be paid certain termination costs, including the percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage
of work performed plus certain reasonable charges resulting from termination. The performance period under the Supply Agreement
extends from January 12, 2021 through January 12, 2022, except as noted above with respect to the delivery of filled and finished doses.
The foregoing description of the Supply
Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Supply Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ending March 31, 2021.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K
(this “Report”) includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties relating to future events
and the future performance of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron” or the “Company”), and
actual events or results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” variations of such
words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements
contain these identifying words. These statements concern, and these risks and uncertainties include, among others, the ability
of Regeneron’s collaborators, suppliers, or other third parties (as applicable) to perform manufacturing, filling, finishing,
packaging, labeling, distribution, and other steps related to Regeneron's products and product candidates (including the casirivimab
and imdevimab antibody cocktail) and the impact of the foregoing on Regeneron’s ability to supply its products and product
candidates, including its ability to supply doses of the casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail under the terms of the supply
agreement with the U.S. government discussed in this Report (the “Supply Agreement”); whether and to what extent Regeneron
will be able to supply doses of the casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail under the Supply Agreement; the amount of payments
(if any) Regeneron may receive pursuant to the Supply Agreement; what the lowest authorized dose of the casirivimab and imdevimab
antibody cocktail will be at the time of delivery to the U.S. government under the Supply Agreement; and whether the Supply Agreement
is terminated by the U.S. government or otherwise prior to completion. A more complete description of these and other material
risks can be found in Regeneron’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019 and its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020. Any forward-looking
statements are made based on management’s current beliefs and judgment, and the reader is cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking
statements made by Regeneron. Regeneron does not undertake any obligation to update (publicly or otherwise) any forward-looking
statement, including without limitation any financial projection or guidance, whether as a result of new information, future events,
or otherwise.
