Form 8-K for ALLERGAN INC


29-Oct-2008

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Results of Operations and Financial Cond


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 28, 2008, Allergan, Inc. ("Allergan, Inc.") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Allergan Sales, LLC ("Allergan Sales") and Allergan USA, Inc. ("Allergan USA" and, together with Allergan, Inc. and Allergan Sales, "Allergan") entered into a License, Development, Supply and Distribution Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Spectrum"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the License Agreement, Allergan and Spectrum will jointly develop and commercialize apaziquone (the "Product"), an antineoplastic agent currently being investigated for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Pursuant to the License Agreement, Allergan will pay Spectrum $41.5 million upfront and will make additional payments to Spectrum of up to $304 million based on the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercialization milestones. In addition, Allergan will pay royalties to Spectrum on all sales of the Product outside of the United States. In the United States, Allergan and Spectrum plan to co-promote the Product and share in the resulting profits, losses and expenses.

Spectrum retained exclusive rights to the Product in Asia, including Japan and China, and Allergan received exclusive rights to the Product in the rest of the world. Allergan also received an exclusive license to the Product's EOquin® trademark worldwide. In addition and subject to certain conditions, Allergan will not develop apaziquone for any use outside of bladder cancer, and neither party will develop certain other antineoplastic agents for the treatment of bladder cancer outside of Asia.

Spectrum will lead Product development, including conducting the two on-going Phase 3 clinical trials pursuant to a joint development plan, and the parties will generally cooperate in conducting any additional studies relating to the Product in the United States and the European Union. Allergan will pay the majority of these clinical trial expenses.

Should Spectrum fail to meet certain obligations relating to the development of the Product, Allergan may take over Product development, which could reduce certain development and regulatory milestone payments to Spectrum. In addition and under certain circumstances, the co-promotion between Allergan and Spectrum could terminate and, following such termination, Allergan and Spectrum would no longer share equally in the profits, losses and expenses related to Product sales in the United States. Allergan would instead pay Spectrum royalties on all Product sales in the United States and make other payments to Spectrum based on the achievement of certain commercialization milestones. In addition, should Allergan fail to commercialize the Product in the United States and the European Union after a specified time, it could lose its license to the Product in the United States and the European Union.

A joint press release dated October 29, 2008 announcing the execution of the License Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
