Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 8, 2026, Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “PRV Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (“PRV”) to the buyer. The Company was awarded the PRV by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on September 17, 2026 upon approval of FAYUVITM (rebisufligene etisparvovec-hopf) also known as UX111, for the treatment of pediatric patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA, Sanfilippo syndrome Type A). Pursuant to the PRV Asset Purchase Agreement, the buyer agreed to pay the Company $203 million, payable in cash, upon the closing of the transaction.
The PRV Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions subject to certain limitations. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
The foregoing description of the PRV Asset Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the PRV Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2026.
