Item 8.01	Other Events.	
On June 12, 2019, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Halozyme”), announced that it had reached the target number of 330 overall survival events in its HALO-301 clinical trial and that it plans to conduct the final overall survival analysis upon data maturity which will occur when all patients enrolled in the study have been followed for at least 8.5 months. Accordingly, Halozyme projects to achieve data maturity in mid-September 2019. Based on this timing of data maturity, Halozyme expects to announce top line results for the HALO-301 clinical trial by December 2019.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, the statements set forth above in this Item 8.01 include forward-looking statements (including, without limitation, statements concerning the expected timing of receipt of data maturity for clinical trial HALO-301 and the announcement of top line results for HALO-301) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are typically, but not always, identified through use of the words “believe,” “enable,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “intends,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “predict,” “probable,” “potential,” “possible,” “should,” “continue,” and other words of similar meaning. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations contained in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including unexpected delays in the conduct of the HALO-301 study or the analysis of HALO-301 data, unexpected regulatory requirements or unexpected adverse events. These and other factors that may result in differences between the forward-looking statements and actual results are discussed in greater detail in the Halozyme’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
