Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On September 11, 2025, AbbVie announced that it has settled litigation with all generic manufacturers that filed abbreviated new drug applications with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for generic versions of upadacitinib tablets, which AbbVie markets as RINVOQ.
Given the settlement and license agreements, which are subject to standard acceleration provisions, assuming pediatric exclusivity is granted, no generic entry for any upadacitinib tablets is expected prior to April 2037 in the United States.
