Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 1, 2015, Jazz Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited (“Jazz Ireland”), a subsidiary of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (the “Company”), entered into a Master Manufacturing Services Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Patheon”). The Master Agreement establishes the general terms and conditions pursuant to which Patheon or its affiliates will provide manufacturing services to Jazz Ireland or its affiliates (together, “Jazz”) for drug products specified by Jazz from time to time (the “Products”), including Xyrem® (sodium oxybate) oral solution. The Master Agreement expires on December 31, 2020 and thereafter will automatically renew for successive two-year terms if Patheon is then providing manufacturing services for any Product, unless either party provides 18 months prior notice of termination. In addition, Jazz Ireland may terminate the Master Agreement for any reason upon 12 months prior written notice, and both parties have early termination rights upon notice of varying lengths for other causes, including for the counterparty’s uncured material breach. The Master Agreement supersedes the Xyrem Manufacturing Services and Supply Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2007, between Patheon and Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Master Agreement, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Master Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
