Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Emergent BioSolutions Inc. today announced steps the company is taking to derive synergies from its recently completed acquisitions with the goal of improving efficiencies, reducing costs and driving earnings growth.  These steps are being implemented after a comprehensive evaluation of Emergent's broadened product portfolio, facilities and resources.

The company anticipates significant completion of these steps by the end of 2014 and does not expect these changes to have a material impact on 2014 financial guidance.  As a result of these steps, the company anticipates realizing annual cost savings of approximately $7-$9 million beginning in 2015, which includes savings from consolidated operations, streamlined product development and reduced headcount.

The company will be taking the following actions:

·

Closure of product development facility in Munich, Germany.  The company is closing its Munich, Germany product development facility, which has focused exclusively on the development of the MVAtor product candidates and platform technology.  This action is a result of the company's portfolio review and the conclusion that continued investment in this platform is not justified when compared to other more promising pipeline opportunities.  The company will retain ownership of the MVAtor intellectual property and will continue to seek partners for this technology.

·

Sale of Henlow Bay facility in Winnipeg, Canada and Human Growth Hormone Product program.  The company has entered into an agreement with Belrose Pharma Inc. to sell its facility located at Henlow Bay, Winnipeg, Canada along with its rights to develop and commercialize two existing clinical development programs – the recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH) and leucotropin (GM-CSF) products – which are produced at the facility.  The transaction is scheduled to close within approximately 60 days, subject to certain closing conditions.  This sale reflects the company's decision not to invest further in the rHGH program based on the outcome of its product development prioritization process.

·

Consolidation of Princeton administrative operations into existing biodefense division operations.  The company is closing its Princeton, NJ office, which has been providing support for the sales of the company's RSDL product.  The functions located in Princeton will be consolidated into an integrated Biodefense commercial operations unit that will be responsible for selling all Biodefense products.  This consolidation is aimed at increasing operational efficiency while reducing costs.
