Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 1, 2014, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee (EMDA) voted 13 to 1 to recommend that AFREZZA® (insulin human [rDNA origin]) Inhalation Powder be granted marketing approval by the FDA to improve glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes and voted 14 to 0 to recommend that AFREZZA be granted marketing approval by the FDA to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Although the EMDA provides recommendations to the FDA, the FDA makes the final decision with respect to approval of a drug. The FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of April 15, 2014 for its review of our New Drug Application (NDA) for AFREZZA®.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.
