Explanatory Note
          On February 14, 2007, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (“Halozyme”) filed a Form 8-K in which it announced a new license agreement, an amended distribution agreement, and an amended development agreement with Baxter Healthcare Corporation and certain of its affiliates. A component of the transaction was also the sale of Halozyme common stock. With this filing, Halozyme is amending the original Form 8-K in order to provide copies of certain transaction documents that were entered into in connection with the transaction.
Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
          On February 13, 2007, a subsidiary of Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (“Halozyme”), Halozyme, Inc., Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“BHC”) and Baxter Healthcare S.A. (“BHSA” and along with BHC, collectively, “Baxter”) entered into the following agreements:
    Enhanze License and Collaboration Agreement (the “License”);
 
    Amended and Restated Exclusive Distribution Agreement (amending that certain Exclusive Distribution Agreement between the parties dated as of August 13, 2004, as amended on March 24, 2005 and December 8, 2005) (the “Distribution Agreement”); and
 
    Amended and Restated Development and Supply Agreement (amending that certain Development and Supply Agreement between the parties dated as of March 24, 2005) (the “Development Agreement” and along with the License and Distribution Agreement, the “Agreements”).
          Under the terms of the License, Baxter will obtain a worldwide, exclusive license to develop and commercialize product combinations of rHuPH20, Halozyme’s proprietary recombinant human hyaluronidase, with Baxter hydration fluids and generic small molecule drugs (with the exception of combinations with (i) bisphosphonates as well as (ii) cytostatic and cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, the rights to which have been retained by Halozyme). In addition, Baxter will pay royalties on the sales, if any, of the products that result from the collaboration.
          Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, Baxter paid Halozyme an initial upfront payment of $10 million and, pending the successful completion of a series of regulatory and sales events, Baxter may make milestone payments which could potentially reach a value of up to $25 million. In addition, Baxter will pay royalties on the sales of products covered under the Distribution Agreement. Baxter prepaid $1 million of these royalties in connection with the execution of the Agreements and Baxter will be obligated to prepay $9 million of additional royalties on or prior to January 1, 2009.
          Under the terms of the Development Agreement, Baxter will now assume all development, manufacturing, clinical, regulatory, sales and marketing costs of the products covered by the Distribution Agreement.
          In addition, on February 13, 2007, an affiliate of Baxter purchased 2,070,394 shares of Halozyme’s common stock for an aggregate of $20 million (as further described in Item 3.02 below).
          The preceding descriptions of the License, Distribution Agreement, and Development Agreement are summaries of the material terms of those agreements and do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by the copies of such agreements which are filed as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, and 99.4, respectively, to this Form 8-K/A.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
          On February 13, 2007, Halozyme sold 2,070,394 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), to Baxter International Inc. (“BII”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Shares were sold at a per share purchase price of $9.66 per share and Halozyme received gross proceeds of $20 million. The per share purchase price represented a 25% premium to the average closing price of Halozyme’s common stock as reported by the American Stock Exchange over the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement.

          No shareholder approval was required for the sale of the Shares. BII represented that it is an accredited investor as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Shares were sold pursuant to exemptions from registration under Regulation D of the Securities Act. Proceeds from the sale of the Shares will be used to support Halozyme’s ongoing operations, including research and development activities, as well as for other general corporate purposes.
          Halozyme has not filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the resale of the Shares, but BII may request that Halozyme register the Shares after the earlier of (i) the two year anniversary of the sale of the Shares or (ii) the date upon which Halozyme’s Board of Directors announces the approval of a change of control transaction. Halozyme will not be required to register the Shares if BII and Halozyme mutually agree that the Shares may be sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
          The preceding description of the Purchase Agreement is a summary of the material terms of that agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the copy of such agreement which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A.
