Material Impairments, Regulation FD Disclosure, Financial Statements and Exhi
On April 30, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the "Court") issued its opinion upholding the validity of U.S. Patent No. 6,958,161 covering the Company's DORYX 150 mg product (the "'161 Patent"), but determining that neither Mylan Inc.'s (together with its affiliate Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., "Mylan") nor Impax Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s ("Impax") proposed generic version of the DORYX 150 mg product infringed the '161 Patent. As a result of the Court's ruling, the Company believes that Mylan has entered the market with its FDA approved generic equivalent of the Company's DORYX 150 mg product.
In connection with the announcement of the Court's non-infringement determinations, the Company expects to record an impairment charge in the range of $90 to $108 million related to its DORYX intangible asset, which had a book value of $111 million as of December 31, 2011. The impairment charge is not expected to result in future cash expenditures for the Company.
