Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Following the early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”) completed the sale to Medivation, Inc. (“Medivation”) of its proprietary poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor known as BMN-673 or talazoparib (the “Asset Sale”) on October 6, 2015.

The Asset Sale was pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated August 21, 2015 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), previously disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24, 2015.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Medivation paid the Company an upfront payment of US$410.0 million upon the closing of the Asset Sale. In addition, contingent upon the successful development and commercialization of BMN-673, Medivation will pay us milestone payments up to a total of US$160 million and royalties on net sales of BMN-673 at a mid-single digit royalty rate.

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.
