INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Section 1 -— Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 6, 2007, Replidyne, Inc. announced that its collaboration and commercialization
agreement for faropenem medoximil (faropenem) with Forest Laboratories, Inc. was terminated. This
termination follows the issuance in October 2006 of a non-approvable letter by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the Company’s new drug application for faropenem that was submitted
to the FDA in December 2005. As a result, Replidyne will reacquire all U.S. rights to faropenem.
In accordance with the termination provisions of the collaboration agreement, Forest Laboratories
will cooperate with Replidyne to assure a smooth transition of the faropenem programs for a period
of up to six months. No penalty fees were incurred by either party in connection with the
termination of the collaboration agreement.
