Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC

According to its Annual Report filed with the SEC for fiscal year 2012: "In June 12, 2012, we completed the EUSA Acquisition. Prior to the completion of the EUSA Acquisition, a French subsidiary of EUSA Pharma entered into a contract to sell Kidrolase (Escherichia coli L-asparaginase), a life-saving cancer drug produced outside of the United States, to Medical Equipment and Pharmaceutical Holding Co., or MEPH, which we understand is an affiliate of the Iranian Ministry of Health. Following the completion of the EUSA Acquisition, the French subsidiary of EUSA Pharma shipped Kidrolase to MEPH pursuant to the pre-existing contract. The Kidrolase contract was entered into prior to our acquisition of EUSA Pharma, was performed entirely by the French subsidiary, and we believe that the post-acquisition shipment of Kidrolase was not prohibited by or sanctionable under applicable law at the time. Our anticipated gross revenue from this shipment of Kidrolase was approximately 92,000 Euros. The French subsidiary of EUSA Pharma, which is now our wholly-owned subsidiary, has sought payment from MEPH for this shipment. To date, no such payment has been received. No additional sales or shipments of Kidrolase to MEPH were made following the June 2012 shipment.
Our mission is to improve patients’ lives by identifying, developing and commercializing products that address unmet medical needs. As part of fulfilling our mission, we intend to provide access to important and life-saving pharmaceutical products to patients wherever they may be located, including in Iran, to the extent permitted by applicable U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations. For that reason, we expect that we may make future sales of Kidrolase to MEPH in accordance with applicable law."
