`Overview
`
`PART 1
`
`United Therapeutics Corporation is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative products to address the
`unmet medical needs of patients with chronic and life-threatening conditions. We market and sell four commercial therapies in the United States to treat
`pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH): Remodulin® (treprostinil) Injection (Remodulin); Tyvaso® (treprostinil) Inhalation Solution (Tyvaso); Orenitrarn®
`{treprostinil) Extended-Release Tablets (Orenitram); and Adcirca® {tadalafil} Tablets (Adcirca). We also market and sell an oncology product in the United
`States, Unituxin® (dinutuxirnab) Injection (Unituxin), which is approved fortreatment of high-risk neuroblastoma. Outside the United States, our only
`significant revenues are derived floor the sale ofRernodulin, which is approved in Europe and various other countries. We are also engaged in research and
`development of new indications, formulations and delivery devices for our existing products, as well as new products to treat PAH and other conditions.
`Finally, we are engaged in early-stage research and development ofa number of organ transplantation-related technologies.
`
`We generate revenues from sales of our five commercially approved products noted above. Remodulin was approved by the US. Food and Drug
`Administration (FDA) for subcutaneous and intravenous administration in 2002 and 2004, respectively, and has been sold commercially in the United States
`since 2002. Tyvaso and Adcirca were both approved by the FDA and launched commercially in the United States in 2009. Orenitrarn and Unituxin were
`approved by the FDA in 2013 and 2015. respectively. Our sales, marketing and othercommercial staffsupports the availability ofour commercial products in
`the United States, and these efforts are supplemented by our contract distributors. Outside the United States, our contract distributols are primarily responsible
`for sales and marketing efiorts.
`
`United Therapeutics was incorporated in Delaware in June 1996. Our principal executive offices are located at 1040 Spring Street, Silver Spring.
`Maryland 20910 and at 55 T.W. Alexander Drive. Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709.

`
`Products to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
`
`PAH is a life-threatening disease that affects the blood vessels in the lungs and is characterized by increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which are
`the blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs. The elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries strains the right side ofthe heart as it pumps blood to
`the lungs. This eventually leads to right heart failure and, ultimately, death. PAH is characterized by structural changes in blood vessel walls, aggregation of
`platelets and alteration of smooth muscle cell function. We believe that PAH affects about 500,000 individuals worldwide. We have seen increases in the
`numberofpeople diagnosed with the disease, but due to the rarity ofthe disease and the complexity ofdiagnosing it, only a small fraction ofpatients with
`PAH are being treated.
`
`Current FDA-approved therapies for PAH focus on three distinct molecular pathways: the prostacyclin pathway. the nitric oxide (NO) pathway, and the
`endothelin (ET) pathway. The classes of drugs that target these three pathways are:
`
`'
`
`Prosracyclin Analogues and IP Prosracyclin Receptor Agonisrs. Patients with PAH have been shown to have reduced levels ofprostacyclin, a
`naturally occurring substance that relaxes the pulmonary blood vessels, prevents platelet aggregation and inhibits the proliferation ofsrnooth
`muscle cells in the pulmonary vessels. Therefore, drugs that mimic the action ofprostacyclin, known as prostacyclin analogues, are established
`PAH treatments. Another class of therapy, called IP prostacyclin receptor agonists, has recently been developed to address PAH through the
`prostacyclin pathway. As compared with prostacycl in analogues, which broadly mimic the effect

`
`of prostacyclin, IF prostacycl in receptor agonists bind selectively to the IP receptor, one of several prostacyclin receptors.
`
`Phosphodr’esterase Type 5 (PBS-5) Inhibitors and Guanyfai‘e Cyciase (SGC) Stimulators. Patients with PAH have also been shown to have
`reduced levels of the enzyme responsible for producing NO, a naturally occun'ing substance in the body that causes relaxation of the
`pulmonary blood vessels. N0 produces this effect by increasing intracellular levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate GMP {cyclic GMP).
`Therefore, another established therapeutic approach has been to inhibit the degradation of cyclic GMP using dmgs known as PDE-S inhibitors.
`In addition, sGC is an enzyme found in the endotheiial cells and the receptor for N0. When NO binds to sGC, the enzyme enhances production
`of cyclic GMP. As a result, sGC stimulators are also approved to treat PAH.
`
`Endothelr‘n Receptor-Antagonists. PAH patients have also been shown to have elevated levels of endothelin-1, a naturally occun'ing
`substance in the body that causes constriction of, and structural changes to, the pulmonary blood vessels. Therefore, another established
`therapeutic approach has been to block the action of endothel in with drugs that are known as endothelin receptor antagonists (ETRAs).
`
`Because any or all ofthe three pathways may be therapeutic targets in a patient, these classes of drugs are used alone or in combination to treat patients
`with PAH. We currently market drugs in two ofthese classes. Remodulin, Tyvaso and Orenitrarn are all formulations oftreprostinil, a prostacyclin analogue,
`and Adcirca is a PDE-S inhibitor.
`
`The clinical severity of PAH is classified according to a system originally developed for heart failure by the New York Heart Association and then
`modified by the World Health Organization {WHO} for patients with PAH, ranging from functional class I (no symptoms) through fitnetional class IV (severe
`symptoms). Labeled indications for PAH therapies ofiert note that clinical studies for the drug predominantly included patients in one or more fitnctional
`classes.
`
`PAH is a subset of the condition more broadly known as pulmonary hypertension. WHO has classified pulmonary hypertension into five groups, with
`PAH being designated WHO Group 1, which includes multiple etiologies such as idiopathic (meaning the cause is unknown} and heritable PAH, as well as
`PAH associated with connective tissue diseases. While our PAH therapies' labeling is limited to the treatment ofWHO Group 1 PAH, we are engaged in
`research and development efforts to expand the use ofOrenitram to treat pulmonary hypertension in certain categories ofWHO Group 2, and Tyvaso to treat
`pulmonary hypertension in certain categories of WHO Group 3. For fithher details, see Research and Development below.
`
`Remodulin
`
`We sell Remodulin to specialty pharmaceutical distributors in the United States and to pharmaceutical distributors internationally. We recognized
`approximately $670.9 million, $602.3 million and $572.8 million in Remodulin net product sales, representing 39 percent, 38 percent and 39 percent of'our
`total revenues for the years ended December3 l, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Remodulin is indicated to treat patients with PAH, to diminish symptoms
`associated with exercise. Studies establishing effectiveness included patients with firnctional class ll—IV (moderate to severe} symptoms.
`
`Outside of the United States, Remodulin is approved for the treatment of PAH in 38 countries by continuous subcutaneous administration and in 35
`countries by continuous intravenous administration, and is sold commercially in most of these countries. Applications for approval of both subcutaneous and
`intravenous Remodulin are under review in other countries.
`
`We believe Remodulin has many qualities that make it an appealing alternative to competitive therapies. Remodulin is stable at room temperature, so it
`does not need to be cooled during infiJsion

`
`and patients do not need to use cooling packs or refi'igeration to keep it stable. Treprostinil is highly soluble and highly potent, which enables us to
`manufacture Remodulin in concentrated solutions. This allows therapeutic concentrations ofRemodulin to be delivered at very low flow rates via
`miniaturized infusion pumps for both subcutaneous and intravenous infiision. Remodulin can be continuously infilsed for up to 48 hours intravenously or
`72 hours subcutaneously before refilling the extemal infusion pump, and is packaged as an aqueous solution so patients do not have to reconstitute the drug
`before refilling theirpumps. This profile contrasts favorably with the othercontinuously infitsed prostacyclin therapies in the market—Flolan®, Veletri® and
`generic epoprostenol.
`
`Flolan and generic epoprosteno] are not stable at room temperature (and therefore require refi'igeration or the use of cooling packs}. but Veletri may be
`stable at room temperature depending on its concentration. Flolan, generic epoprostenol, and Veletri have shorter half-lives than Remodulin, requiring
`mixing prior to pump refills. None ofthese competitive products may be administered via subcutaneous infusion, and therefore may only be delivered
`intravenously.
`
`We have settled patent litigation with four generic dmg companies that filed abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAS) with the FDA to market
`generic versions of Remodulin in the United States. Under the terms of these settlements, Sandoz, Inc. {Sandoz} is permitted to launch its generic version of
`Remodulin in the United States in June 2018, and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva), Par Sterile Products, LLC (Far) and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc.
`(Dr. Reddy's), are permitted to launch their generic versions ofRemodulin in the United States in December 2018, although each ofthese companies may be
`pemiitted to enter the market earlier under certain circumstances. For further detail, see the section below entitled Patents and Other Proprietary Rights,
`Strategic Licenses and Market Exclustvth—Geueric Competition.
`
`There are serious adverse events associated with Remodulin. For example, when infused subcutaneously, Remodu] in causes varying degrees of infusion
`site pain and reaction (redness and swelling) in most patients, Patients who cannot tolerate the infusion site pain related to the use of subcutaneous
`Remodulin may instead use intravenous Remodulin. Intravenous Remodulin is delivered continuously through a surgically implanted central venous
`catheter, similar to Flolan, Veletri and generic epoprostenol. Patients who receive therapy through implanted venous catheters have a risk of developing
`blood stream infections and a serious systemic infection known as sepsis. Other common side effects associated with both subcutaneous and intravenous
`Remodulin include headache, diarrhea, nausea, jaw pain, vasodilation and edema.
`
`Tyvaso
`
`We sell Tyvaso to the same specialty pharmaceutical distributors in the United States that distribute Remodulin. We recognized approximately
`$372.9 million, $404.6 million and $470.1 million in Tyvaso net product sales, representing 22 percent, 25 percent and 32 percent ofour total revenues for
`the years ended December 31, 201?, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
`
`Tyvaso is administered four times a day by inhaling up to nine breaths during each treatment session, which takes approximately three minutes. Tyvaso
`is required to be administered using our proprietary Tyvaso Inhalation System, which consists of an ultra-sonic nebulizer that provides a dose of Tyvaso on a
`breath-by-breath basis, and related accessories. A single ampule containing Tyvaso is emptied into the Tyvaso Inhalation System once per day, so the Tyvaso
`Inhalation System only needs to be cleaned once daily. Tyvaso is regulated by the FDA as a dmg-device combination product. consisting onyvaso drug
`product and the Tyvaso Inhalation System.
`
`Ventavis® (iloprost) is the only other FDA-approved inhaled prostacyciin analogue. Patients need to inhale Ventavis six to nine times per day via a
`nebulizer. According to its package insert, each Ventavis inhalation consists offourto ten minutes ofcontinuous inhalation via the nebulizer. We completed
`an open-label study in the United States to investigate the clinical effects of switching

`lfntn
`
`patients fiom Ventavis to Tyvaso. Patients in this study saved an average of approximately 1 .4 hours per day when administering Tyvaso compared to
`Ventavis.
`
`Studies establishing efi'ectiveness included predominately patients with functional class II] symptoms (may not have symptoms at rest but activities are
`greatly limited by shortness of breath, fatigue, or near fainting). Tyvaso was generally well tolerated in ourtnals. The most common adverse events were
`transient cough, headache, nausea, dizziness and flushing. Tyvaso is also approved in Israel, where we commenced commercial sales during the second
`quarterof2015,
`
`Orenitrtim
`
`Orenitram is the only FDA approved, orally administered prostacyclin analogue, and is the only oral PAH prostacyclin class therapy approved in the
`United States that is titratable to a maximum tolerated dose, without a dose ceiling. We sell Orenitram to the same specialty pharmaceutical distributors in the
`United States that distribute Remodulin and Tyvaso. We recognized approximately $185.8 million, $157.2 million and $118.4 million in Orenitram net
`product sales, representing 11 percent, ten percent and eight percent ofourtotal revenues for the years ended December3 l, 201 "i. 2016 and 2015,
`respectively. The primary study that established eflicacy included predominately patients with firnctional class II-III symptoms and etiologies of idiopathic
`or heritable PAH (75 percent) or PAH associated with connective tissue disease (19 percent). The most common side effects observed in our clinical studies
`were headache, nausea and diarrhea.
`
`In February 20] 8, we settled patent litigation with Actavis Laboratories FL, Inc. [Actavis) relating to its ANDA seeking to market a generic version of
`Orenitram in the United States. Under the terms of this settlement, Actavis will be permitted to launch its generic version of Orenitram in the United States in
`June 202 7, although Actavis may be permitted to enter the market earlier under certain circumstances. For further detail, see the section below entitled
`Patents and Other Proprietary Rights. Strategic Licenses and Market Ereiusiviry—Generic Competition.
`
`Adcirca
`
`Adcirca is a POE—5 inhibitor, the active pharmaceutical ingredient of which is tadalafi]. Tadalafil is also the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Cialis®,
`which is marketed by Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) for the treatment oferectile dysfirnction. We acquired the commercial rights to Adcirca for the treatment
`ofPAI-I in the United States from Lilly in 2008. We sell Adcirca at prices established by Lilly, which are at parity with Cialis pricing. We recognized
`approximately $419.? million, $372.2 million and $2'i8.8 million in Adcirca net product sales, representing 24 percent, 23 percent and [9 percent ofour
`total revenues for the years ended Deeember3 l, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
`
`In 2009, the FDA approved Adcirca with a recommended dose of40 mg, making it the only once-daily PDE»S inhibitor for the treatment ofPAI-i. Adcirca
`is indicated to improve exercise ability in patients with PAH. Studies establishing efiiectiveness included predominately patients with functional class Il-III
`symptoms. Headaches were the most commonly reported side eHect.
`
`Prior to the approval of Adcirca, Revatio®, which is marketed by Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer), was the only PDEAS inhibitor approved forthe treatment ofPAH.
`Sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in Revatio, is also the active ingredient in Viagra®, which is marketed by Pfizer for the treatment of erectile
`dysfirnction. In 2012, several companies launched generic formulations of sildenafil citlate. Revatio and generic sildenafil citrate are dosed three times daily.
`
`In September 20] 4, Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) announced the results of a study ofambri sentan (an ETRA) and tadalafil in PAH patients as a first-line
`combination treatment, compared to treating PAH patients with only ambrisentan or tadalafil. In the study, first-line treatment with both therapies reduced the
`risk of clinical failure (a composite endpoint that incorporates clinical worsening events—

`death, hospitalization and disease worsening—and a component ofunsati sfactory long-term clinical response] compared to a monotherapy treatment by
`50 percent. Based on these results, in October 2015, the FDA approved an update to the new drug application (NDA) for Letairis® (arnbrisentan), permitting
`the use of Letairis in combination with tadalafil for PAH to reduce the risks ofdisease progression and hospitalization for worsening PAH, and to improve
`exercise ability.
`
`A U.S. patent for Adcirca forthe treatment ofpulmonary hypertension expired in November 2017. Lilly has two additional patents expiring in April and
`November 2020, respectively, covering Adcirca and claiming pharmaceutical compositions and free drug particulate forms (the 2020 Patents). The Patent
`Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Fi rial Written Decision finding these patents invalid as the
`result ofan interparres review (IPR) proceeding initiated by Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Lilly's appeal ofthe FTAB's decision is pending before the
`United States Court oprpeals forthe Federal Circuit. In May 20] T, we amended our license agreement with Lilly relating to Adcirca to clarify and extend
`the term of the agreement and to amend the economic terms of the agreement following the expiration of a patent covering Adcirca in November 2017. As a
`result ofthis amendment, beginning December 1, 201?, our royalty rate on net product sales of Adcirca increased from five percent to ten percent, and we are
`required to make milestone payments to Lilly equal to $3 25,000 for each $1 £00,000 in net product sales. Adcirca‘s cost of product sales as a percentage of
`Adcirca's net product sales has increased significantly since December I, 20l7 due to these cost increases. In the event that Lilly prevails in one or both ofthe
`appeals noted above: (a) the previous five percent royalty rate will apply and the effective date of the new payment structure will be deferred until the
`expiration, lapse, abandonment or invalidation ofthe last claim ofthe 2020 Patents covering commercialization ofAdcirca for pulmonary hypertension; and
`(b) to the extent we had previously paid amounts in excess of five percent, those amounts will be refunded by Lilly. The FDA has already tentatively
`approved ANDAs filed by at least two generic companies to market generic versions of Adcirca following the expiration of the November 201? patent.
`However, the FDA granted Lilly's request for pediatric exclusivity, which provides an additional six-month exclusivity period through May 2018. As a result,
`following the expiration of regulatory exclusivity in May 2018, we anticipate the launch of generic versions ofAdcirca resulting in decreased Adcirca sales,
`which will likely lead to a material adverse impact on Adcirca revenue. As amended, the term of our license agreement with Lilly expires on the latest to
`occur of: (l) expiration, lapse, cancellation, abandonment or invalidation of the iast claim to expire within a Lilly patent covering the commercialization of
`Adcirca for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in the United States; (2) expiration of any govemment-conferred exclusivity rights to use Adcirca for the
`treatment of pulmonary hypertension in the United States; or {3) December 31, 2020.

`Product to Treat Ca nicer—Unituxin
`
`In March 2015, the FDA approved our Biologics License Application (BLA) for Unituxin, in combination with granulocyte-macrophage colony-
`stimulating factor (GM «CSFj, interleukinnz (IL—2), and l3-cis-retinoic acid (RA), for the treatment of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (a rare form of
`pediatric cancer) who achieve at least a partial response to prior first-line multiagent, multimodality therapy. Unituxin is a chimeric, composed ofa
`combination of mouse and human DNA, monoclonal antibody that induces antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, a mechanism of ce] l-mediated
`immunity whereby the immune system actively targets a cell that has been bound by specific antibodies. Unituxin therapy is associated with severe side
`efi'ects, including infections, infiision reactions, hypokalemia, hypotension, pain, fever, and capillary leak syndrome.
`
`We commenced U.S. sales ofUnituxin in the third quarterof2015. We recognized approximately $76.0 million, $62.5 million and $20.5 million in
`Unituxin net product sales, mpmenting fourpercent, fourpercent and one percent ofourtotal revenues forthe years ended December3 1, 2017, 2016 and
`2015, respectively.

`Research and Development
`
`We focus roost ofour research and development efforts on the following near-term pipeline programs (intended to result in product launches in the 2018-
`202i timef‘rarne) and medium—term pipeline programs (intended to result in product launches in the 2022-2025 timefrarne). We are also engaged in a variety
`of additional medium— and long-term research and development efi'orts, including technologies designed to increase the supply oftransplantable organs and
`tissues and improve outcomes for transplant recipients through regenerative medicine, xenotransplantation, biomechanical lungs and ex—vivo lung perfusion.

`Implantable Systemfor Remodelin
`
`We are working with Medtronic, Inc. (Medtronic) on a program to develop Medtronic's proprietary intravascular infilsion catheter to be used with its
`SynchroMed® II implantable infirsion pump and related in Fusion system components {together referred to as the Implantable System for Remodulin) in order
`to deliver Remodulin for the treatment ofPAH. The SynchroMed [1 device is already approved for delivery of medication to treat neuropathic pain. with our
`funding, Medtronic completed the DelIVery clinical trial, which studied the safety ofthe Implantable System for Remodulin. The primary objective was to
`demonstrate a rate of catheter-related complications below 2.5 per 1,000 patient—days while using the Implantable System for Remodulin. In 20 I 3, Medtronic
`informed us that this primary objective was met. If the Implantable System for Remodulin is approved, the technology has the potential to reduce many ofthe
`patient burdens and other complications associated with the use ofexternal pumps to administer prostacyclin analogues. In order to launch the Implantable
`System for Remodulin in the United States, we are pursuing parallel regulatory filings with Medtronic relating to the device and the drug, respectively.
`Medtronic's premarket approval application (PMA) for the device was approved by the FDA in December 2017. We resubmitted our NDA for the use of
`Remodulin in the implantable pump on January 30, 2018, and we anticipate a two-month review period.
`
`Medtronic is entirely responsible for regulatory approvals and all manufacturing and quality systems related to its infusion pump and related
`components. Medtronic entered into a consent decree citing violations ofthe quality system regulation for medical devices and requiring it to stop
`manufacturing, designing and distributing SynchroMed II implantable infirsion pump systems, except in limited circumstances, until the FDA determines
`that Medtronic has met all the provisions listed in the consent decree. During the fourth quarter of 201 'r', Medtronic was notified by the FDA that these
`provisions have been satisfied,
