State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file timely, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”). Due to the complexity of accounting for a business combination, the Company requires additional time to complete additional documentation to prepare its financial statements and assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to the financial results furnished with the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2021. It is anticipated that the Form 10-K will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of the Form 10-K.

(2) 
Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).    Yes No       



(3) 
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
Yes No      
  
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As previously disclosed, on June 9, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding equity of USWM Enterprises, LLC (“Enterprises”), comprising the entire issued share capital of Enterprises (the “Transaction”). The Form 10-K will reflect the acquisition of Enterprises by the Company. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of net product sales of $509.3 million and royalty revenue of $11 million. Full year 2020 net product sales increased 33% compared to the same period in 2019 due to higher net product sales of Trokendi XR and Oxtellar XR and the addition of $91 million of net product sales resulting from the acquisition of the CNS portfolio of US WorldMeds pursuant to the Transaction. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 31% compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to expenses associated with commercialization efforts related to the Company’s commercial products, including the acquired commercial products from the Transaction and preparations for the launch of SPN-812. Finally, expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets increased by 203% compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the amortization of the definite-lived intangible assets acquired in the Transaction.
