ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
On May 15, 2009, the United States District Court, District of Delaware
(the "Court") denied a motion filed by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. ("Teva")
on April 3, 2009 to add a counterclaim to the patent infringement lawsuit filed
against Teva and Barr Laboratories Inc. ("Barr") on July 25, 2008 by The Brigham
and Women's Hospital ("Brigham"), Amgen, Inc. ("Amgen") and NPS Pharmaceuticals
Inc. ("NPS"). The patent infringement lawsuit filed by Brigham, Amgen and NPS is
based on an Abbreviated New Drug Application submitted to the U.S. Food & Drug
Administration by Teva and Barr seeking approval to market generic versions of
Sensipar(R) (cinacalcet HCl) and alleges infringement of four of NPS's patents
for Sensipar. Teva's counterclaim alleged infringement of its U.S. Patent No.
7,449,603 by Amgen. The Court's denial of Teva's motion is not appealable.
