Orexo Reaches $4M Deal in Principle to End 6-Year DOJ Probe
Uppsala, Sweden – September 04, 2026 -- Orexo AB has reached a non-binding agreement in principle with the US Department of Justice to pay USD 4 million in installments over several years, closing a federal investigation that began in 2020.
Orexo agrees to capped contingent payment tied to 2030-2031 sales thresholds
Beyond the fixed USD 4 million payment, Orexo would accept a capped contingent payment equal to five percent of net sales, triggered only if certain sales-related thresholds are met in 2030 and 2031 and Orexo's commercial products perform successfully in the market. The company is in the final stages of negotiating the settlement but cautions there is no assurance the deal will be finalized on these terms.
