Catalyst Pharmaceuticals (CPRX) corrects FIRDAPSE patent settlement party name

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals filed an amended current report to correct a naming error in an earlier update about a patent litigation settlement related to its FIRDAPSE® patents. The company had reported a prior settlement with “Inventia Life Science Pty Ltd,” but clarified that the correct party is Inventia Healthcare Limited.

The amendment states that no other terms of the previously disclosed settlement with Lupin or the related press release were changed. Catalyst attached the corrected August 26, 2025 press release as an exhibit, confirming that the update is purely to fix the identity of the earlier settling party.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

On August 25, 2025, Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting that the Company had entered into a settlement agreement with Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Lupin Ltd. (“Lupin”) resolving certain patent litigation brought by the Company and SERB S.A. against Lupin.

Since the Company disseminated its press release reporting on the settlement with Lupin, the Company has become aware that the Original 8-K and the press release that was an exhibit to the Original 8-K (the “Original Press Release”) inadvertently misidentified one of the parties that had previously settled patent litigation with the Company and SERB S.A. relating to the Company’s FIRDAPSE® patents. The party that previously settled its litigation with the Company and SERB S.A. relating to the Company’s FIRDAPSE® patents is Inventia Healthcare Limited and not Inventia Life Science Pty Ltd.

On August 26, 2025, the Company reissued the Original Press Release to update the identity of the party that previously settled the litigation with the Company and SERB S.A. relating to the Company’s FIRDAPSE® patents. Other than a change to correct the identity of the previous settling party, no other changes were made to the Original Press Release that was disseminated on August 25, 2025.

The updated press release that was disseminated on August 26, 2025 is attached to this Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

FAQ

What did Catalyst Pharmaceuticals (CPRX) change in its amended 8-K/A filing?

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals corrected the name of a previously settling party in its FIRDAPSE® patent litigation disclosures. The company clarified that the correct entity is Inventia Healthcare Limited, not Inventia Life Science Pty Ltd, and stated no other settlement or press release terms were changed.

Which company was correctly identified in Catalyst Pharmaceuticals’ FIRDAPSE patent litigation?

The correctly identified party is Inventia Healthcare Limited. Catalyst Pharmaceuticals explained that earlier disclosures and a press release mistakenly named Inventia Life Science Pty Ltd, and the amended report and updated press release now reflect the accurate counterparty name.

Does Catalyst Pharmaceuticals’ 8-K/A change the terms of its settlement with Lupin?

The 8-K/A does not change the settlement terms with Lupin. Catalyst specifically notes that the only modification is correcting the identity of a previously settling party in FIRDAPSE® patent litigation, with all other aspects of the original press release remaining the same.

What exhibit is included in Catalyst Pharmaceuticals’ amended 8-K/A filing?

The amended filing includes Exhibit 99.1, a press release issued on August 26, 2025. This updated release corrects the name of the prior settling party in FIRDAPSE® patent litigation while keeping all other details of the originally disseminated August 25, 2025 press release unchanged.

Why did Catalyst Pharmaceuticals reissue its press release about the FIRDAPSE patent settlement?

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals reissued the press release to fix a misidentified prior settling party. The corrected August 26, 2025 release now names Inventia Healthcare Limited as the entity that previously settled FIRDAPSE® patent litigation, replacing the earlier incorrect reference to Inventia Life Science Pty Ltd.
