Update on Litigation with Liquidia Technologies, Inc.
On October 13, 2026, United Therapeutics Corporation (
UT
) entered
into a Settlement Agreement (the
Settlement Agreement
) with Liquidia Technologies, Inc. (
Liquidia
) that provides for the
resolution of pending litigation between the parties, as noted below:
·
UT
v. Liquidia
, a case filed by UT in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that Liquidia’s Yutrepia
®
product infringes UT’s U.S. Patent No. 11,826,327 (the
’327 patent
), which expires February 3, 2042, and covers improving
exercise capacity in patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (
PH-ILD
) by inhaling
treprostinil at specific doses. On September 30, 2026, the District Court held Liquidia liable for infringement of claims 1 and 14 of
the ’327 patent and found that Liquidia failed to prove that those claims are invalid.
·
UT
v. Liquidia
, a case filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, alleging that Liquidia’s Yutrepia
product infringes UT’s U.S. Patent No. 11,357,782 (the ’
782 patent
), which expires May 14, 2027, and has claims directed
to the treatment of pulmonary hypertension by administering a powder formulation of treprostinil via oral inhalation with a dry powder
inhaler.
·
Liquidia
v. UT
, a case also filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, alleging that UT’s product,
Tyvaso DPI
®
, infringes Liquidia’s U.S. Patent No. 10,898,494 (the
’494 patent
), which expires May 5,
2037, and has claims directed to the treatment of pulmonary hypertension by administering specified amounts of treprostinil via a dry
powder inhaler in a specified number of breaths.
·
Trade
Secrets Litigation
, consisting of two separate cases brought by UT in North Carolina state court against Liquidia and a former Liquidia
executive, Dr. Robert Roscigno, alleging the theft of UT’s trade secrets and breach of Dr. Roscigno’s employment agreement
with UT.
Under the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed to seek dismissal
with prejudice of all of the foregoing actions within ten days after UT receives the $185 million payment described below (except that
UT may continue to pursue its trade secrets claims against Dr. Roscigno). The parties have also agreed to releases that become effective
upon UT’s receipt of the $185 million payment from Liquidia and Liquidia’s receipt of the $10.0 million payment from UT, each
described below, receipt by UT of a Liquidia officer’s declaration confirming cessation of marketing, promotion, distribution, sales,
and offers for sale of Yutrepia bearing the PH-ILD indication following regulatory approval of the label amendment, and dismissal of the
covered proceedings. Key terms of the Settlement Agreement include the following:
·
Liquidia
will pay to UT an aggregate of $330.4 million, consisting of: (a) $185 million, representing an estimate of damages for past sales of
Yutrepia for PH-ILD, to be paid within 30 business days of the Settlement Agreement; and (b) $145.4 million, representing an agreed estimate
of damages for continuing sales of Yutrepia to PH-ILD patients after execution of the Settlement Agreement, payable in two equal installments
of $72.7 million each on or before February 1, 2027 and April 30, 2027.
·
Liquidia
has agreed to immediately file with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (
FDA
) an amendment to its new drug application for Yutrepia
to remove the PH-ILD indication and references to PH-ILD from the product’s labeling, and to diligently and urgently pursue FDA
approval of that amendment. Pending FDA approval of the label amendment, Liquidia may continue to sell Yutrepia under its current labeling
subject to the Settlement Agreement, but must immediately cease, desist, and terminate all activities related to the marketing, advertising,
promotion, proactive medical education, and detailing of Yutrepia for the treatment of PH-ILD. Upon FDA approval of the label amendment,
Liquidia must immediately cease all sales of Yutrepia bearing the PH-ILD indication.
2
·
Going
forward, Liquidia agrees that it will only market, detail, and promote Yutrepia to health care practitioners who, to Liquidia’s
knowledge, treat patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (
PAH
). Liquidia must send letters to healthcare practitioners advising
that PH-ILD patients prescribed Yutrepia should be transitioned to an alternative therapy and to specified payers requesting immediate
denial of prior authorization requests for Yutrepia for PH-ILD, and must instruct its salesforce to no longer use marketing and detailing
information containing any reference to PH-ILD or the
INCREASE
study. With immediate effect, Liquidia must include a mandatory
certification with a checkbox that must be completed on any referral form, voucher application, prescription, or similar document for
Yutrepia certifying that the patient has Group 1 PAH (or, in the future, any additional indication for which Yutrepia has received FDA
approval), and require healthcare practitioners to certify the accuracy of the form. Liquidia must also send letters to all pharmacies
carrying Yutrepia instructing them to include the mandatory Group 1 PAH certification on their own referral forms and to obtain verbal
attestations from healthcare practitioners for pending referrals on old forms or forms lacking the certification. Liquidia must also
terminate cohorts of its
ASCENT
clinical trial of Yutrepia that are studying PH-ILD as promptly as practicable, cease and desist
from publishing any new data, and cease and desist disseminating already-published data, from cohorts of the
ASCENT
trial that
are studying PH-ILD until after the expiration of the ’327 patent.
·
The
parties have also agreed to certain covenants not to sue each other, and not to challenge certain of each other’s patents.
Unless earlier terminated, the Settlement Agreement expires on the
later of (a) the expiration of the last applicable UT patent containing a valid claim directed to PH-ILD; and (b) the expiration of the
last valid claim of the applicable Liquidia patents. The applicable patents include the ’327 and ’782 patents for UT and the
’494 patent for Liquidia, together with the related patents and patent applications specified in the Settlement Agreement. The labeling,
promotional, and patent-challenge obligations described above expire on the earlier of the end of the term and the expiration of the last
applicable UT patent containing a valid claim directed to PH-ILD.
Update on Litigation with RareGen, LLC and Sandoz Inc.
As previously disclosed, UT is a party to litigation initiated by RareGen,
LLC (now known as Liquidia PAH, LLC, a subsidiary of Liquidia Corporation) (
RareGen
) and Sandoz Inc. (
Sandoz
), alleging
that UT engaged in anticompetitive conduct in connection with plaintiffs’ efforts to launch their generic version of Remodulin
®
.
The complaint was filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, and included federal antitrust claims, claims under
state competition laws, common law tortious interference with contract, and a claim that UT breached its patent settlement agreement with
Sandoz. In 2022, the District Court granted summary judgment in UT’s favor with respect to all claims except for the breach of contract
claim, which the District Court decided in Sandoz’s favor. The question of damages for the breach of contract claim went to trial,
and the District Court awarded Sandoz damages of $61.6 million, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. All parties appealed
the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
On October 7, 2026, the Third Circuit entered a decision (a) affirming
the grant of summary judgment in UT’s favor on the antitrust and state unfair competition claims, recognizing UT’s procompetitive
justifications; (b) reversing the grant of summary judgment in Sandoz’s favor as to liability on its breach of contract claim, vacating
the November 1, 2024 judgment and damages award, and remanding the claim for further proceedings; and (c) reversing the grant of summary
judgment in UT’s favor on the tortious interference claim, and remanding that claim for further proceedings.
As part of the Settlement Agreement discussed above, Liquidia and UT
agreed to provide for settlement of all claims in this litigation in exchange for a $10.0 million payment by UT to Liquidia, payable within
30 business days after execution of the Settlement Agreement. Liquidia has agreed to obtain any necessary third-party approvals and consents,
including from Sandoz, to secure dismissal of the litigation.
For a further description of the matters being settled, please refer
to
Note 12—Litigation
, to UT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on August 5, 2026.
The foregoing descriptions of the Settlement Agreement are qualified
in their entirety by the full text of the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

promoting, distributing, selling, or offering for sale the Infringing Liquidia Product in the Territory.
3.2
Releases
.
The releases set forth in this
Section 3.2
will not be effective until (a) UTC has received the One-Time Liquidia Payment
and Liquidia has received the One-Time UTC Payment; (b) UTC has received the sworn declaration from Liquidia referenced in
Section 3.1
that Liquidia is no longer marketing, promoting, distributing, selling, or offering for sale the Infringing Liquidia Product in the Territory,
and (c) the Contested Proceedings have been dismissed as set forth in
Section 3.1
. The releases and no reliance set forth
in
Section 3.2
expressly exclude and do not extend to claims against Robert Roscigno, as an individual, in connection with

i.
UTC
Release
. UTC, for itself and its agents, successors, and assigns, does hereby forever release and discharge Liquidia and its Affiliates,
and any of its past or present agents, employees, officers, directors, attorneys and suppliers, and any past or present distributors,
resellers, purchasers and/or end-users of products sold or distributed by Liquidia, except as to claims against Robert Roscigno, as an
individual, in connection with the Pending Claims Against Robert Roscigno, from any causes of action, losses, promises, damages, costs,
expenses, liabilities, and/or demands of whatsoever character, nature and kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent,
arising out of or in any way related to the actions, conduct, omissions, or events alleged, which could have been alleged as of the Execution
Date in the United States. The foregoing release extends to (i) any and all pending and potential claims, demands, causes of actions,
liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, or appeals of whatever nature, known or unknown, arising out of or relating to the Contested
Proceedings; and (ii) any and all claims, demands, causes of action, or liabilities arising under federal or state antitrust laws,
including but not limited to the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and any similar state statutes that may arise in connection with this Agreement.

after the Execution Date (other than the sales of the Infringing Liquidia Product for the period until FDA approves the removal of PH-ILD
from the Product Label of the Infringing Liquidia Product), including, without limitation any new or in development treprostinil-containing
products, or activities taken by Liquidia to secure FDA approval for additional future indications of its YUTREPIA or other treprostinil-containing
products. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing release and discharge applies to Liquidia, its Affiliates, and any of its past or

. The Parties acknowledge that they intend this Agreement to be a full and final accord and satisfaction and release
of every matter referred to in
Section 3.2

the California Civil Code, which provides:
A general release does not extend to claims

Civil Code and/or any other statute, law, or rule of similar effect, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that a Party hereunder
may discover other facts, claims, or defenses that were unknown or unsuspected at the time this Agreement was executed, and that if known
by the Party at that time may have materially affected that Party’s decision to execute this Agreement. Each of the Parties acknowledges
and agrees that by reason of this Agreement and the releases contained in
Section 3.2
, each Party is assuming any risk of
such unknown facts, unknown claims, and/or unsuspected claims, and that the releases contained in this

will constitute
full releases in accordance with their terms. Accordingly, each of the Parties knowingly, expressly, and voluntarily waives and relinquishes
all rights and benefits, if any, under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and/or any other statute, law, or rule of
similar effect, with respect to the claims which are released pursuant to this Agreement.

Contested Proceedings and any of the facts that are now unknown to them relating thereto. The Parties acknowledge that they may later
discover facts different from or in addition to those that they know or believe to be true with respect to the claims released herein,
and agree that in such event, this Agreement will nevertheless remain effective in all respects, notwithstanding such different or additional
facts or discovery of those facts.

4.2
Covenant
to Immediately Amend the Yutrepia
®
Product Label with the FDA and Cease Sales

obtain FDA approval to so amend the current Product Label, including without limitation, as permitted, requesting expedited review of
Liquidia’s request to amend the current Product Label as set forth in this
Section 4.2

approved the Non-Infringing Liquidia Product, Liquidia shall provide summary updates regarding communications with FDA to the extent relating
to, or which could reasonably be expected to have an impact on, the timing of amending the current Product Label of the Infringing Liquidia
Product to remove PH-ILD within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of such communications. Liquidia also shall immediately notify
UTC in writing once Liquidia has received FDA approval of such amended Product Label, together with a copy of such amended Product Label.

confirm that it has done so in writing to UTC in accordance with
Section 3.1
. Liquidia and its Affiliates shall solely market,
detail and promote the Non-Infringing Liquidia Product only to health care practitioners who, to Liquidia’s knowledge, treat PAH

also shall terminate cohorts of the ASCENT trial that are studying PH-ILD as promptly as practicable, cease and desist from publishing
any new data, and cease and desist disseminating already published data, from cohorts of the ASCENT trial that are studying PH-ILD until

Agreement
not to Challenge UTC’s Patents-in-Suit
. During the Term, Liquidia agrees not to contest, and not to assist any other Persons
(including Liquidia’s Affiliates) in contesting the validity or enforceability of any of UTC’s Patents-in-Suit, or UTC’s
ownership of all right, title, and interest in and to UTC’s Patents-in-Suit, including without limitation any post-grant proceedings
in front of the USPTO seeking to invalidate or render unpatentable UTC’s Patents-in-Suit (“
Patent Challenge

amended or replaced) and providing the required notice letter with respect to any product other than (a) the UTC Products referenced
in clauses (i) and (ii) of

of Liquidia as a result of a change of control of Liquidia, this
Section 4.5
will not apply to any Patent Challenge involving
such third party if such Patent Challenge was initiated before the signing of the definitive document(s) pursuant to which such third
party becomes such an Affiliate of Liquidia; or (iii) this
Section 4.5
will not apply to situations where such Patent
Challenge is a defense to any claim by UTC or its Affiliates, successors, or assignees that Liquidia’s exploitation of any Liquidia
product other than the Infringing Liquidia Product infringes any of UTC’s Patents-in-Suit.
4.6
No
Rights
. By virtue of this Agreement, no rights, other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, are granted to Liquidia under

UTC and reasonably acceptable to Liquidia (provided that such third party firm shall not be retained or compensated on a contingency basis)
to have access to such records, upon at least forty-five (45) days prior written notice and during ordinary working hours, as may be necessary

to (i) create any records or reports not maintained in the ordinary course of business; (ii) disclose any information that is
subject to attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection, or the disclosure of which would violate Applicable Law or any
obligation of confidentiality owed to a third party; or (iii) provide such third party with access to its premises or personnel.

provide any draft audit report prepared by such third party to Liquidia for Liquidia’s review prior to such audit report being released
to UTC. After Liquidia’s review, if Liquidia disagrees with any findings in the draft audit report for any reason, Liquidia and
such third-party firm shall reasonably discuss Liquidia’s concerns, and Liquidia will have the right to issue a letter in response
to the draft audit report, which will be included with the third party’s final audit report released to UTC. The final audit report
released to UTC will be limited to the findings of the third-party firm regarding Liquidia’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
Liquidia shall provide, without condition or qualification, to UTC a copy of the final audit report prepared by such third-party firm
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following its receipt of same. The findings of such audit and the final
audit report, including any confidential information included in the records reviewed by the third party firm to generate such final audit
report, will remain and be kept confidential by such third party firm and will be deemed Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement.

SCHEDULE I
Dear Health Care Provider:
We are writing to inform you
of an upcoming change to the YUTREPIA (treprostinil) inhalation powder Prescribing Information. Due to recent developments in litigation,
we are discontinuing promotion of YUTREPIA for pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). The litigation
impacts the indication language with respect to PH-ILD only. Specifically, YUTREPIA will no longer be indicated for treatment of PH-ILD.
Going forward, YUTREPIA will be indicated for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) only. Any PH-ILD patients prescribed
YUTREPIA should be transitioned to an alternative therapy. We will be introducing new referral and application forms for YUTREPIA and
its patient support programs (including the voucher program) requiring healthcare practitioners to certify with a checkbox that the patient
has Group 1 PAH. All prior forms are null and void, and should be replaced with the new forms.
We understand this update
may cause confusion and are here to answer any questions you may have.
We would like to assure you
that YUTREPIA remains commercially available and in supply for treatment of PAH only through our specialty pharmacy partners.
Sincerely,
Roger Jeffs
Chief Executive Officer
SCHEDULE J
Dear Payer, Clients, Health Plan Leadership, and
Plan Negotiators:
We are writing to inform you
of an upcoming change to the YUTREPIA (treprostinil) inhalation powder Prescribing Information. Due to recent developments in litigation,
we are discontinuing promotion of YUTREPIA for pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). The litigation
impacts the indication language with respect to PH-ILD only. Specifically, YUTREPIA will no longer be indicated for treatment of PH-ILD.
Effective immediately, we ask you to deny any prior authorization request for the use of YUTREPIA for the treatment of PH-ILD. Going forward,
YUTREPIA will be indicated for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) only. We will be introducing new referral and application
forms for YUTREPIA and its patient support programs (including the voucher program) requiring healthcare practitioners to certify with
a checkbox that the patient has Group 1 PAH. All prior forms are null and void, and should be replaced with the new forms.
We understand this update
may cause confusion and are here to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Roger Jeffs

Dear Pharmacy:
We are writing to inform you
of an upcoming change to the YUTREPIA (treprostinil) inhalation powder Prescribing Information. Due to recent developments in litigation,
we are discontinuing promotion of YUTREPIA for pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). The litigation

YUTREPIA and its patient support programs (including the voucher program) requiring healthcare practitioners to certify that the patient
has Group 1 PAH. All prior forms are null and void, and should be replaced with the new forms. To the extent your pharmacy uses its own
referral forms, you are hereby instructed to include a mandatory certification with a checkbox that the patient has Group 1 PAH on your
own forms. To the extent you have pending referrals for YUTREPIA on the old forms or you receive a form that does not certify that the
patient has Group 1 PAH, you must reach out to the healthcare practitioners to obtain verbal attestations that the patient has Group 1
PAH.
We are here to answer any
questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Roger Jeffs
