Amendment Description | Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Form 10-K Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2024 (the “Original Form 10-K”) for the sole purpose of including certain of the information required by Part III of Form 10-K because it will not file a definitive proxy statement containing this information within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Original Form 10-K. As required by Rule 12b-15, in connection with this Form 10-K Amendment, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are providing Rule 13a-14(a) certifications included herein. This Form 10-K Amendment (i) amends and restates in their entirety Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of Part III of the Original Form 10-K and (ii) deletes the reference on the cover of the Original Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference of certain information from our proxy statement into Part III of the Original Form 10-K. Except as described above, this Form 10-K Amendment does not modify or update the disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Form 10-K or update the Original Form 10-K to reflect events occurring after the date of such filing. Accordingly, this Form 10-K Amendment should be read in connection with our Original Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of our Original Form 10-K. | | |
