Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 27, 2018, Zosano Pharma Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement (the “Agreement”) with Patheon Manufacturing Services LLC (“Patheon”) for Patheon to provide services related to the manufacture and commercialization of the Company’s proprietary product candidate, known as M207 (zolmitriptan microneedle system). During the term of the Agreement, Patheon will provide manufacturing services to the Company for the manufacturing of M207, including, services related to processing, packaging, labelling and storing M207, in addition to other services such as stability testing, quality control and assurance and waste disposal.

The Company is required to pay for commercial supply by Patheon in annual base fees in equal monthly installments in the amounts specified in the Agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay an additional product fee for units in excess of the number of units covered by the base fee at the price per unit provided for in the Agreement. The Agreement contains negotiated representations and warranties, indemnification, limitations of liability, and other provisions. The initial term of the Agreement continues until the seventh anniversary of the date on which the Company receives regulatory approval of M207 in the United States.

The Company may terminate the Agreement if M207 is not granted certain regulatory approvals or if such regulatory approval is withdrawn under certain circumstances. Either the Company or Patheon may terminate the Agreement for the other’s uncured material breach, uncured force majeure or bankruptcy or insolvency-related events.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 8-K for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The Company intends to seek confidential treatment for certain portions of the Agreement pursuant to a Confidential Treatment Request to be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
