Within [**] after the Effective Date, the Parties will negotiate in good faith and enter into (a) a supply agreement for clinical supply of Licensed Products and placebo (the “Clinical Supply Agreement”) and a related quality agreement, if the Development Plan anticipates a need for Summit to supply Sarepta in order to enable Sarepta to carry out Development activities allocated to it in the Development Plan and (b) a supply agreement for commercial supply of Licensed Products (the “Commercial Supply Agreement” and together with the Clinical Supply Agreement, the “Supply Agreements”) and a related quality agreement, which Supply Agreements will each be consistent with the terms set forth in Schedule 6.2 and the terms set forth in Section 6.1 with respect to clinical supply of Licensed Product. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, when the Parties enter into the Supply Agreements, the terms of such Supply Agreements shall supersede the terms set forth in Section 6.1. 

	
6.3.
	
Arbitration for Failure to Agree.  If the Parties cannot reach agreement and enter into any Supply Agreement (or related quality agreement) within the applicable period set forth in Section 6.2, then the final terms and conditions of such Supply Agreement (or related quality agreement) will be determined through binding arbitration as follows:

	
 
	
6.3.1.
	
Manufacturing Arbitration Drafts.  Each Party will (a) prepare a draft of such Supply Agreement (or related quality agreement) (which will be consistent with the applicable terms set forth on Schedule 6.2 the terms set forth in Section 6.1 with respect to clinical supply of Licensed Product for Additional Studies) to be used in such arbitration proceeding (each, a “Manufacturing Arbitration Draft”) and (b) submit its Manufacturing Arbitration Draft to the other Party. Within fifteen (15) days of such submissions, the Parties will meet to determine whether or not they agree to enter into either Party’s Manufacturing Arbitration Draft or a modified version thereof as such Supply Agreement (or related quality agreement).

	
 
	
6.3.2.
	
Notice; Experts. If the Parties are unable to agree within the fifteen (15) day period set forth in Section 6.3.1, then either Party may send the other Party written notice that it wishes to determine the final terms and conditions of such Supply Agreement using a Neutral Expert. Within thirty (30) days of a Party’s receipt of such notice, the Parties shall jointly appoint a neutral Third Party who is an expert with at least fifteen (15) years of experience in the area of manufacturing and supply (the “Neutral Expert”) within ten (10) business days.

	
 
	
6.3.3.
	
Resolution by Arbitration. Within three (3) business days of such meeting, each Party may submit an opposition statement of no more than five (5) pages in length to the Neutral Expert. Neither Party will be allowed to conduct any discovery.  Neither Party may have any communications (either written or oral) with the Neutral Expert other than for the sole purpose of engaging the Neutral Expert or as expressly permitted in this Section 6.3.3. The Neutral Expert may consult in writing with either Party regarding the submissions made by either Party; provided that both Parties receive such request for consultation and are provided with an opportunity to respond. In evaluating each Party’s written submissions, the Neutral Expert shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt

of the written opposition statement, select one of the Parties’ Manufacturing Arbitration Drafts within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the latter of such Manufacturing Arbitration Drafts and select the draft that it determines to contain the most fair, balanced and customary terms (in addition to reflecting the applicable terms set forth on Schedule 6.2 and the applicable terms set forth in Section 6.1 with respect to clinical supply of Licensed Product for Additional Studies); provided that, the Neutral Expert shall not select, and Summit shall not be required to execute or perform under, any Supply Agreement that would require Summit to undertake obligations that cannot be satisfied through the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  Such decision shall be final, binding and conclusive upon both Parties and their Affiliates, and such Manufacturing Arbitration Draft will be the applicable Supply Agreement (or related quality agreement), and the Parties will execute the same. 

	
 
	
6.3.4.
	
Responsibility for Costs. The fees of the Neutral Expert will be borne by the Party whose Manufacturing Arbitration Draft is not selected by the arbitral tribunal.

	
6.4.
	
Establishment of Second Source and Back-Up Sources.  If the Parties have entered into a Supply Agreement, and Sarepta notifies Summit that it desires that a second source be established for the concurrent Manufacture and supply of a Licensed Product for clinical or commercial use (a “Second Source”) or that a back-up supplier be established for the contingent Manufacture and supply of a Licensed Product for clinical or commercial use (a “Back-Up Source”), then Summit shall reasonably assist Sarepta in establishing a Second Source or Back-Up Source on a timeline agreed by the Parties and in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sarepta may not provide such notification to Summit requesting that a Second Source or Back-Up Source be established unless and until [**]. A Second Source or Back-Up Source established by Sarepta may also serve as a Second Source or Back-Up Source for Summit.  In addition, if Summit desires to establish a Second Source or a Back-Up Source (as applicable) for a Licensed Product for clinical or commercial use, then Summit shall notify Sarepta in advance of Summit’s commencement of material negotiations with one or more Third Party manufacturers relating to the establishment of a Second Source or Back-Up Source (as applicable) for the Manufacture and supply of such Licensed Product.

	
6.5.
	
Transfer of Manufacturing Know-How. During the Term, upon Sarepta’s request, Summit shall transfer to Sarepta and to the applicable Second Source and Back-Up Sources described in Section 6.4 all Summit Know-How then Controlled by Summit that is reasonably necessary or useful to enable the Manufacture of each Licensed Product for clinical or commercial use and not previously transferred to Sarepta under this Agreement by providing copies or samples of relevant documentation, materials and other embodiments of such Know-How, and by making available its qualified technical personnel on a reasonable basis to consult with Sarepta, the Second Source and Back-Up Sources, as applicable, with respect to such Know-How. Each such Know-How transfer requested by Sarepta for itself, for the Second Source or for a Sarepta-selected Back-Up Source (“Technology Transfer”) shall be commenced within a commercially reasonable timeframe following Sarepta’s request and conducted pursuant to an agreed technology

transfer plan to be developed by the Parties (with input from the Second Source or Back-Up Sources, as applicable) for the purpose of ensuring the complete and timely transfer of such Know-How in a manner that is consistent with then-current internal technology transfer corporate standards (or equivalent policy) of Sarepta or the Second Source or Back-Up Sources, as applicable (to the extent a copy of such standards or equivalent policy has been provided to Summit). The cost of any such Technology Transfer shall be borne by the Parties as if such cost were Development Costs and Summit’s personnel costs therefor shall be computed using the FTE Rate (pro-rated for partial FTE usage).  Summit’s Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in the course of such Technology Transfers shall also be borne by the Parties as if such costs were Development Costs, provided that such Out-of-Pocket Costs are incurred in accordance with the agreed technology transfer plan.

Royalty Adjustments for Generic Products.  Subject to Section 8.4.7, if, during a given Calendar Quarter when a Licensed Product is being Commercialized by or on behalf of Sarepta in a particular country in the Sarepta Territory, there is Generic Competition in such country with respect to a Licensed Product, then, subject to Section 8.4.6, the royalties payable on the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country shall thereafter be reduced to [**] of the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to Section 8.4.1 with respect to such Licensed Product in such country for such Calendar Quarter for so long as such Generic Competition remains.

Royalties shown to have accrued by each royalty report shall be due and payable on the date such royalty report is due.

The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by the requesting Party, unless such discrepancy represents an underpayment by the other Party of at least [**] of the total amounts due hereunder in the audited period, in which case such fees shall be paid by the other Party.

	
 
	
8.5.3.
	
Compliance with In-Licenses.  Each Party shall comply with all applicable audit requirements in the In-Licenses and shall include in each sublicense granted by it pursuant to this Agreement a provision requiring the Sublicensee to make reports to the Party that is party to such In-License, to keep and maintain records of sales made pursuant to such sublicense and to grant access to such records by the independent accountant of the Party that is party to such In-License to the same extent required of a Party under this Agreement.

	
 
	
8.5.4.
	
Audit Term.  Unless an audit for such year has been commenced prior to and is ongoing upon the third (3rd) anniversary of the end of such year, the calculation of payments payable with respect to such year shall be binding and conclusive upon both Parties, and each Party and its Related Parties shall be released from any further liability or accountability with respect to such royalties or expense reimbursement for such year.

Agreement to Sarepta shall be made in United States dollars and shall be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account in the United States as may be designated in writing by Sarepta from time to time.

8.7.
	
Late Payments.

8.8.
	
Blocked Payments.  If, by reason of applicable Laws in any jurisdiction in a Party’s Territory, it becomes impossible or illegal for a Party to transfer milestone payments, royalties or other payments under this Agreement to the other Party, then the payor shall promptly notify the payee. During any such period described above, the payor shall deposit such payments in local currency in the relevant jurisdiction to the credit of the payee in a recognized banking institution designated by the payee or, if none is designated by the payee within a period of ninety (90) days, in a recognized banking institution selected by the payor and identified in a written notice given to the payee.

	
8.9.
	
Taxes.  If a timely and appropriately completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 is provided by the receiving Party to the paying Party, then the Parties acknowledge and agree that no United States tax withholding shall be applied with respect to the payments due under this Agreement. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize tax withholding on payments made to the other Party. Notwithstanding such efforts, if such Party concludes that tax withholdings under the Laws of any country are required with respect to payments to the other Party, then such Party shall first notify the other Party and provide such Party with twenty (20) days to determine whether there are actions such receiving Party can undertake to avoid such withholding. During this notice period, the paying Party shall refrain from making such payment until the receiving Party instructs the paying Party that (a) the receiving Party intends to take actions (satisfactory to both Parties) that will obviate the need for such withholding, in which case the paying Party shall make such payment only after it is instructed to do so by the receiving Party or (b) the paying Party should make such payment and withhold the required amount and pay it to the appropriate Governmental Authority. In such case, the withholding Party shall promptly provide the other Party with copies of receipts or other evidence reasonably required and sufficient to allow the other Party to document such tax withholdings adequately for purposes of claiming foreign tax credits and similar benefits. The Parties will cooperate reasonably in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable tax laws or under any other applicable Law, in connection with the making of any required tax payment or withholding payment, or in connection with any claim to a refund of or credit for any such payment. The Parties will cooperate to

minimize such taxes in accordance with applicable Laws, including using reasonable efforts to access the benefits of any applicable treaties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of (y) the assignment of this Agreement by Sarepta to an Affiliate or a Third Party outside of the United States or (z) the exercise by Sarepta of its rights under this Agreement through an Affiliate or Third Party outside of the United States (or the direct exercise of such rights by an Affiliate of Sarepta outside of the United States), foreign withholding tax in excess of the foreign withholding tax amount that would have been payable in the absence of such assignment or exercise of rights becomes payable with respect to amounts due to Summit hereunder, then such amount due to Summit will be increased so that the amount actually paid to Summit equals the amount that would have been payable to Summit in the absence of such excess withholding (after withholding of the excess withholding tax and any additional withholding tax on such increased amount). However, if a similar assignment or exercise of rights described in clauses (y) or (z) of the preceding sentence by Summit results in foreign withholding tax in excess of the foreign withholding tax amount that would have been payable in the absence of such assignment or exercise of rights, then any amount due to Summit will not be increased for such excess withholding and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the required amount will be withheld and submitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

If a Party is required by Law to disclose Confidential Information that is subject to the non-disclosure provisions of this Section 9, then such Party shall promptly inform the other Party of the disclosure that is being sought in order to provide the other Party an opportunity to challenge or limit the disclosure obligations. Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by Law shall remain otherwise subject to the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Section 9. If either Party concludes that a copy of this Agreement must be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States, then such Party will provide the other Party with a copy of this Agreement showing any provisions hereof as to which the Party proposes to request confidential treatment, will provide the other Party with an opportunity to comment on any such proposed redactions and to suggest additional redactions and will take such Party’s reasonable comments into consideration before filing the Agreement.

The reviewing Party shall have the right (a) to propose modifications to the publication or presentation for patent reasons, trade secret reasons or business reasons, and the publishing Party will remove all Confidential Information of the other Party if requested by the reviewing Party and (b) to request a reasonable delay in publication or presentation in order to protect patentable information. If the reviewing Party requests a delay, then the publishing Party shall delay submission or presentation for a period of ninety (90) days (or such shorter period as may be mutually agreed by the Parties) to enable the non-publishing Party to file patent applications protecting such Party’s rights in such information in accordance with Section 12. With respect to any proposed publications or disclosures by investigators or academic or non-profit collaborators, such materials shall be subject to review under this Section 9.2.1 to the extent that Sarepta or Summit, as the case may be, has the right and ability (after using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain such right and ability) to do so.

	
 
	
9.2.2.

If Sarepta wishes to continue to distribute and sell such Licensed Product, then it must remedy the failure and submit further samples to Summit for approval.

	
 
	
12.8.4.
	
Summit’s Use of Sarepta Trademarks.  Neither Summit nor its Related Parties shall use any Sarepta Trademarks to Commercialize any Licensed Product in the Summit Territory; provided that, Sarepta does not adopt any Sarepta Trademark that is confusingly similar to or incorporates any Summit Trademark.

	
 
	
12.8.5.
	
Maintenance and Enforcement.  If Summit Trademarks are used to Commercialize any Licensed Product in the Sarepta Territory, then Summit will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to establish, maintain, enforce and defend such Summit Trademarks in the applicable countries of the Sarepta Territory during the Term. Sarepta shall be responsible for [**] of the costs of such efforts in the Sarepta Territory and Sarepta shall reimburse Summit for all such costs incurred by Summit within forty-five (45) days after receiving any invoice from Summit for such costs. Sarepta will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to establish, maintain, enforce and defend any Sarepta Trademarks in the Sarepta Territory during the Term, at its expense for so long as they are being used in connection with Licensed Products. 

	
 
	
12.8.6.
	
Product Trademark Infringement.  In the event either Party becomes aware of any infringement of any Product Trademark by a Third Party, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party and the Parties shall consult with each other and jointly determine the best way to prevent such infringement, including by the institution of legal proceedings against such Third Party.

	
 
	
12.8.7.
	
Use of Names.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall have any right to use the other Party’s or the other Party’s Affiliates’ corporate names or logos in connection with Commercialization of Licensed Products.

Acknowledgment. It is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” pursuant to Section 35 U.S.C. 102(c).

13.2.
	
Termination Rights.

	
 
	
13.2.1.
	
Termination for Convenience.  

	
 
	
(a)
	
By Sarepta. Sarepta shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety or on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product or country-by-country basis at any time after the Effective Date on six (6) months’ prior written notice to Summit.  If Sarepta terminates this Agreement with respect to one or more, but not all, countries in the Sarepta Territory, then those countries will cease being part of the Sarepta Territory commencing on the effective date of such termination.  

	
 
	
(b)
	
Summit’s Resulting Right. If any termination by Sarepta pursuant to Section 13.2.1(a) prevents Sarepta from satisfying its obligations with respect to the Terminated Licensed Product in the Major European Countries as set forth in Sections 3.3 and 4.1.1, then such termination shall give Summit the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Licensed Product as to the EU by providing written notice to Sarepta within [**] of Summit’s receipt of Sarepta’s notice of termination pursuant to Section 13.2.1(a). If any termination by Sarepta pursuant to Section 13.2.1(a) prevents Sarepta from satisfying its obligations with respect to the Terminated Licensed Product in the Major Option Countries as set forth in Sections 3.3 and 4.1.1, then such termination shall give Summit the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Licensed Product as to the Option Territory by providing written notice to Sarepta within [**] of Summit’s receipt of Sarepta’s notice of termination pursuant to Section 13.2.1(a). The effects of such termination will be as if Summit terminated this Agreement with respect to such Terminated Licensed Product in the EU or the Option Territory, as applicable, pursuant to Section  13.2.2. 

	
 
	
13.2.2.
	
Termination for Cause.  This Agreement may be terminated, in its entirety or on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, at any time during the Term upon written notice by either Party if the other Party is in material breach of its obligations hereunder and has not cured such breach within [**] in the case of a payment breach, or within [**] in the case of all other breaches, after notice requesting cure of the breach; provided, however, that if any breach other than a payment breach is not reasonably curable within [**] and if a Party is making a bona fide effort to cure such breach, then such termination shall be delayed for a time period to be agreed by both Parties, not to exceed an additional [**], in order to permit such Party a reasonable period of time to cure such breach.  For the avoidance of doubt, any failure by Sarepta to satisfy its diligence obligations in Sections 2.4, 3.3 or 4.1.1 with respect to a Licensed Product shall be deemed a material breach only with respect to such Licensed Product for purposes of this Section 13.2.2.  If Sarepta fails to satisfy its diligence obligations in Sections 3.3 or 4.1.1 as to a Licensed Product in the Major European Countries or, if applicable, the Major Option Countries, then Summit shall have the right to 

- 65 -

 [**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.  An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

 

	
 
		
terminate this Agreement as to such Licensed Product only in the EU or the Option Territory, as applicable, as a result of such failure.  If Sarepta fails to satisfy its diligence obligations in Sections 3.3 or 4.1.1 as to any country in the Sarepta Territory outside the EU and the Option Territory, then Summit shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as to such Licensed Product only in such country as a result of such failure. If either Party initiates a dispute resolution procedure in accordance with Section 14.3.2 to resolve a dispute, claim or controversy regarding the material breach for which termination is being sought and is diligently pursuing such procedure, then the cure period set forth in this Section 13.2.2 will be tolled during the pendency of such dispute resolution procedure.

	
 
	
13.2.3.
	
Termination for Safety Reasons.

	
 
	
(a)
	
Termination by Sarepta.  At any time during the [**] after the Effective Date, Sarepta may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Benzoxazole Licensed Product on not less than [**] prior written notice to Summit if Sarepta reasonably determines based upon its review of the clinical data or upon a determination by an applicable drug safety monitoring board or Governmental Authority that the Benzoxazole Licensed Product caused or is likely to cause a fatal, life-threatening or other Serious Adverse Event that is reasonably expected, based upon then-available data, to preclude continued Development or Commercialization of the Benzoxazole Licensed Product (such termination, a “Safety Termination”).  Upon delivery of any such notice of a Safety Termination, each Party may wind-down its then on-going activities related to the Benzoxazole Licensed Product, including any on-going Clinical Studies, in accordance with Section 13.3.2(c)(ii) (to the extent consistent with applicable Laws).

	
 
	
(b)
	
Termination by Consensus. The Parties may terminate this Agreement on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis prior to expiration of the [**] notice period provided in Section 13.3.2(a) upon written agreement if the Parties: (i) reach consensus that the Party proposing the Safety Termination is unable to continue Developing or Commercializing a Licensed Product in the Field in its Territory; and (ii) have completed all applicable wind-down and other transition activities, including those set forth in Section 13.3.2(c)(ii).

	
 
	
13.2.4.
	
Challenges of Patent Rights.  In the event that Sarepta or any of its Related Parties (a) commences or participates in any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding), or otherwise asserts any claim, challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any Summit Patent Right or any claim thereof or (b) actively assists any other Person in bringing or prosecuting any action or proceeding (including any patent opposition or re-examination proceeding) challenging or denying the validity or enforceability of any of such Summit Patent Rights or any claim thereof, then (i) Sarepta shall 

- 66 -

 [**] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request.  An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.

 

	
 
		
give notice thereof to Summit within [**] of taking such action (or becoming aware that its Related Party has taken such action) and (ii) Summit will have the right, in its sole discretion to give notice to Sarepta that the licenses granted to Sarepta with respect to all or any portion of the Summit Patent Rights licensed to Sarepta under this Agreement will terminate [**] following such notice (or such longer period as Summit may designate in such notice) unless (x) Sarepta withdraws or causes to be withdrawn all such challenge or (y) in the case of ex-parte proceedings, multi-party proceedings or other patent challenges that Sarepta or Sarepta’s Related Parties do not have the power to unilaterally withdraw or cause to be withdrawn, Sarepta and Sarepta’s Related Parties cease assisting any other party to such patent challenge and, to the extent Sarepta or a Sarepta Related Party is a party to such patent challenge, it withdraws from such patent challenge, in each case, within such [**] period. In the event that Summit is not permitted under Law to terminate the licenses with respect to all Summit Patent Rights under this Agreement, then the Parties agree to construe this provision to permit Summit to terminate only the licenses to that portion of such Summit Patent Rights with respect to which Summit may terminate consistent with applicable Law.  The foregoing shall not apply with respect to (A) any patent challenge described in clause (a) or (b) above that is made in defense of Summit’s assertion of any Summit Patent Right against Sarepta or any of its Related Parties and (B) any patent challenge commenced by a Third Party that after the Effective Date acquires or is acquired by Sarepta or its Related Parties or its or their business or assets, whether by stock purchase, merger, asset purchase or otherwise, provided that such patent challenge commenced prior to the closing of such acquisition.

	
13.3.

13.3.2.

JOINT PRESS RELEASE

 

Sarepta Therapeutics and Summit Enter Into Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement for European Rights to Summit’s Utrophin Modulator Pipeline for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy 

 

	
 
	
•
	
Sarepta and Summit collaborate to advance the development of novel therapies for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

	
 
	
•
	
Summit receives $40 million upfront, with potential future ezutromid-related milestone payments totalling up to $522 million plus royalties

	
 
	
•
	
Sarepta and Summit to share research and development costs

	
 
	
•
	
Sarepta also receives option for Latin American rights 

 

Cambridge, MA, and Oxford, UK, 4 October 2016 – Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRPT) and Summit Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: SMMT, AIM: SUMM) today announced that they have entered into an exclusive license and collaboration agreement granting Sarepta rights in Europe, as well as in Turkey and the Commonwealth of Independent States (‘the licensed territory’), to Summit’s utrophin modulator pipeline, including its lead clinical candidate, ezutromid, for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (‘DMD’). As part of the agreement, Sarepta also obtains an option to license Latin American rights to Summit’s utrophin modulator pipeline. Summit retains commercialization rights in all other countries.

 

Utrophin modulation is a potential disease-modifying treatment for all patients with the fatal muscle wasting disease DMD, regardless of their underlying dystrophin gene mutation. Ezutromid is currently in a Phase 2 proof of concept trial called PhaseOut DMD.

 

"This partnership with Summit Therapeutics furthers our commitment to invest in innovative approaches to treating Duchenne and supports our common goal of improving the lives of patients with DMD," said Edward Kaye, M.D., Sarepta’s Chief Executive Officer. "Summit’s utrophin modulation technology represents a potentially promising approach to treat DMD, which may complement our current approach of exon skipping therapy.”

 

“Sarepta Therapeutics has paved the way in the development of disease-modifying therapies for DMD with the first FDA-approved drug in this disease area, making them a strong strategic partner to support our utrophin modulator pipeline,” commented Glyn Edwards, Chief Executive Officer of Summit. “This agreement provides us with access to Sarepta’s development, regulatory and commercialisation expertise for the continued advancement of our promising utrophin modulator pipeline. We look forward to this partnership and working together to bring great advances to patients and families living with DMD.”

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Summit will receive an upfront fee of $40 million. In addition, Summit will be eligible for future ezutromid related development, regulatory and sales milestone payments totalling up to $522 million, including a $22 million milestone upon the first dosing of the last patient in Summit’s PhaseOut DMD trial, and escalating royalties ranging from a low to high teens percentage of net sales in the licensed territory. Summit will also be eligible to receive development and regulatory milestones related to its next-generation utrophin modulators. Sarepta and Summit will share specified utrophin modulator-related research and development costs at a 45%/55% split, respectively, beginning in 2018. If Sarepta elects to exercise its option for Latin American rights, Summit would be entitled to additional fees, milestones and royalties. 

 

Sarepta and Summit will host an update call for the Duchenne community on Monday, October 10 at 12:00 EDT. Details of the call can be accessed by visiting http://www.parentprojectmd.org/communitycall.

About Utrophin Modulation in DMD 

DMD is a progressive muscle wasting disease that is caused by different genetic faults in the gene that encodes dystrophin, a protein that is essential for the healthy function of all muscles. There is currently no cure for DMD and life expectancy is into the late twenties. Utrophin protein is functionally and structurally similar to dystrophin. In preclinical studies, the continued expression of utrophin has a meaningful, positive effect on muscle performance. Summit believes that utrophin modulation has the potential to treat all patients with DMD, regardless of the underlying dystrophin gene mutation. Summit also believes that utrophin modulation could potentially be complementary to other therapeutic approaches for DMD. The Company’s lead utrophin modulator, ezutromid, is an orally administered, small molecule. DMD is an orphan disease, and the US Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’) and the European Medicines Agency have granted orphan drug status to ezutromid. Orphan drugs receive a number of benefits including additional regulatory support and a period of market exclusivity following approval. In addition, ezutromid has been granted Fast Track designation and Rare Pediatric Disease designation by the FDA.

Sarepta Forward-looking Statements

This press release contains statements that are forward-looking. Any statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "will," "intends," "potential," "possible" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements about the terms of the license and collaboration agreement Sarepta has entered into with Summit (Oxford) LTD, including the rights, obligations and benefits of each party under the agreement such as Sarepta’s commercialization rights for certain product candidates in specified territories and Sarepta’s payments associated with those rights to Summit; the potential of ezutromid and utrophin modulation as a disease-modifying treatment for all patients with DMD regardless of their dystrophin gene mutation; the potential benefits to the parties and the DMD community resulting from the agreement; the partnership between the parties furthering their common goal of improving the lives of patients with DMD; the potential of utrophin modulation technology to complement Sarepta’s current approach of exon skipping therapy; Summit’s plans to access Sarepta’s expertise for the continued advancement of their promising utrophin modulator pipeline and working together to bring great advances to patients and families living with DMD.

 

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Sarepta's control. Known risk factors include, among others: the expected benefits and opportunities related to the license and collaboration and agreement may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected due to challenges and uncertainties inherent in product research and development; the partnership between Sarepta and Summit may not result in any viable treatments suitable for clinical research or commercialization due to a variety of reasons including the results of future research may not be consistent with past positive results or may fail to meet regulatory approval requirements for the safety and efficacy of product candidates or may never become commercialized products due to other various reasons including any potential future inability of the parties to fulfill their commitments and obligations under the agreement, including any inability by Sarepta to fulfill its financial commitments to Summit; and even if the agreement results in commercialized products the parties may not achieve any significant revenues from the sale of such products.

 

Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect Sarepta's business, results of operations and the trading price of Sarepta's common stock. For a detailed description of risks and uncertainties Sarepta faces, you are encouraged to review Sarepta's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as other SEC filings made by Sarepta. We caution investors not to place considerable reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Sarepta does not undertake any obligation to publicly update its forward-looking statements based on events or circumstances after the date hereof.

 

Summit Forward-looking Statements

containing the words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "would," and similar expressions, constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including: the uncertainties inherent in the initiation of future clinical trials, availability and timing of data from ongoing and future clinical trials and the results of such trials, whether preliminary results from a clinical trial will be predictive of the final results of that trial or whether results of early clinical trials or preclinical studies will be indicative of the results of later clinical trials, expectations for regulatory approvals, availability of funding sufficient for Summit’s foreseeable and unforeseeable operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements and other factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of filings that Summit makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission including Summit’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016. Accordingly readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. In addition, any forward-looking statements included in this press release represent Summit’s views only as of the date of this release and should not be relied upon as representing Summit’s views as of any subsequent date. Summit specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements included in this press release.
