Item 1.01Entry in a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 5, 2015, Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) sent a letter to Durect Corporation pursuant to the Development and License Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2002, as amended (the “DLA”), that provided Durect with formal written notice that the Company is deleting, effective as of January 12, 2015, the opioid drug hydrocodone (and only hydrocodone) as a licensed product under the DLA. The letter does not alter the terms of the DLA regarding the remaining three licensed products (REMOXY®, hydromorphone or oxymorphone) or otherwise amend the DLA. For avoidance of doubt, all terms and conditions of the DLA remain in full force and effect with respect to REMOXY, hydromorphone and oxymorphone.

The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 8.01.
