ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEDINGS

From time to time, we become involved in or are threatened with legal disputes arising from our business and operations in the normal course of business. Most of these disputes are not likely to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or operations.

Granules PIV

On October 31, 2024, the Company received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter (“Notice Letter”) from Granules Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Granules”), stating that it intends to market a generic version of Adzenys before the expiration of all patents currently listed in the Orange Book. The Notice Letter states that Granules’ New Drug Application (“NDA”) for the generic version of Adzenys contains a Paragraph IV certification alleging that these patents are not valid, not enforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the generic version of Adzenys. On December 11, 2024, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Granules which triggered a stay precluding the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) from approving Granules’ NDA for a generic version of Adzenys for up to 30 months or entry of judgment holding the patents invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed, whichever occurs first. On January 7, 2025, Granules submitted an answer to the complaint. This litigation is ongoing, and a trial has been scheduled to begin on December 7, 2026. The Company plans to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights related to Adzenys.

Revive Investing

The Company had been named as a nominal plaintiff in a lawsuit by two shareholders against Armistice Capital Master Fund, Ltd, entitled Revive Investing, LLC. et al v. Armistice Master Fund, Ltd. et al, Case 1:20-cv-02849-CMA-TPO, in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, contending that Armistice was liable for short swing trading profits in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for certain trades it made in Company stock in 2019 and 2020 and must disgorge those profits to the Company. That matter proceeded to trial before a jury, which on January 29, 2025, returned a verdict finding no liability. On March 6, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. As with the original case, regardless of the outcome, this case will not have a materially adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
