Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on August 3, 2026, Harrow, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Original Purchase Agreement") with Viatris Inc. ("Viatris") relating to the acquisition of TYRVAYA® (varenicline solution) nasal spray 0.03 mg ("TYRVAYA"), a cholinergic agonist indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.
On October 1, 2026, the Company and Viatris amended and restated the Original Purchase Agreement in its entirety (as so amended and restated, the "Purchase Agreement"). Under the Purchase Agreement, Viatris retains the rights to commercialize TYRVAYA in Japan, and the assets acquired by the Company exclude those rights. In connection with Viatris’s retention of the Japanese rights, the parties also agreed to eliminate the post-Closing purchase price adjustment based on net working capital that was provided for in the Original Purchase Agreement, with the result that the cash consideration paid at the Closing was fixed at $30.0 million. The contingent milestone payments and the other principal terms of the Original Purchase Agreement were not changed in any material respect.
