On April 28, 2011, Emergent BioDefense Operations Lansing LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (“Registrant”), entered into a modification to its current procurement contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) to supply an additional 3.42 million doses of BioThrax® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed). The modification is valued at up to approximately $101 million for delivery and shipping of additional doses of BioThrax, which will commence immediately following early completion of final delivery of the original 14.5 million doses of BioThrax under the contract prior to this modification.
The modification also provides CDC with the option, at any time during the period of performance of the modification, to increase the quantity of doses scheduled to be provided at the unit pricing specified for the additional 3.42 million doses. In such event, all other terms of the modification would remain in effect for such additional deliveries, with delivery of any added doses to continue at the same rate called for under the modification.
