Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 7, 2007, Halozyme, Inc., a subsidiary of Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.
(Halozyme), Baxter Healthcare Corporation (BHC) and Baxter Healthcare S.A. (BHSA and along
with BHC, collectively, Baxter) entered into an Enhanze Technology License and Collaboration
Agreement (the License).
Under the terms of the License, Baxter will obtain a worldwide, exclusive license to develop
and commercialize product combinations of rHuPH20, Halozymes proprietary recombinant human
hyaluronidase, with a current Baxter product, Gammagard Liquid. Baxter made an initial upfront
payment to Halozyme of $10 million and, pending successful completion of a series of regulatory and
sales milestones, Baxter may make further milestone payments totaling $37 million to Halozyme. In
addition, Baxter will pay royalties on the sales, if any, of the products that result from the
collaboration. The License is applicable to both kit and co-formulation combinations. Baxter will
assume all development, manufacturing, clinical, regulatory, sales and marketing costs under the
License, while Halozyme will be responsible for the supply of the rHuPH20 enzyme. In addition,
Baxter has certain product development and commercialization obligations in major markets
identified in the License.
The preceding description of the License is a summary of the material terms of that agreement
and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the copy of such agreement
which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
