Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Unilife Corporation (the “Company”) is furnishing a Corporate Presentation dated July 30, 2015 (the “Corporate Presentation”), attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, which the Company may use from time to time beginning on July 30, 2015 in presentations to investors and other stakeholders. The Corporate Presentation will also be available on the Company’s website athttp://ir.unilife.com.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 29, 2015, the Company announced its new Imperium™ platform of instant insulin pumps. Imperium is a prefilled, disposable, multi-day wearable insulin pump that does not require filling or assembly by the patient. Because it is prefilled and pre-assembled like an insulin pen, only three intuitive steps are required to commence continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, with on-demand bolus delivery available to the user via the simple push of a button. Imperium is configurable to include wireless connectivity systems, such as Bluetooth LE, to integrate with smartphone apps for patient reminders and status updates. With data connectivity available, healthcare providers could also have access to real-time or historic data to tailor the insulin therapy for each patient to achieve and maintain glycemic control.
Imperium is designed for supply to a select insulin partner or partners ready for filling and packaging using standard pharmaceutical processes, materials and equipment. Insulin partners can then sell the prefilled, fully-assembled device through existing commercial channels, with no sales, marketing, commercial development, reimbursement, and clinical support costs to Unilife. As a prefilled, high-precision device with a delivery resolution of 0.5µL, Imperium is suitable for use with high concentration insulins up to U-500.
