Jason Grenfell-Gardner, President and CEO of the Company, commented, "We have now submitted seven ANDAs in Generic Drug User Fee Act (GDUFA) year four, and a total of fifteen in 2015. Our team has come together to exceed total 2014 submissions by thirty-six percent, while responding to the unprecedented, blistering pace of communications from the US FDA in 2015. We remain optimistic that these efforts will result in ANDA approvals in the first half of 2016. We believe our current pipeline of thirty-three active submissions, exclusive of our four partnered submissions, pending approval by the FDA now has a combined addressable market of approximately $1.7 billion based on November 2015 data from IMS Health."

The Company noted that all ANDA submissions announcements in 2016 will be included in its periodic quarterly reports.
