In its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, uniQure N.V. (the “Company”) described on-going arbitration related to claims made by Extera Partners, a consulting firm based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, alleging a fee to be due in respect of consulting services provided to the Company in connection with a partnering transaction.

On April 5, 2016 the Company was notified of a partial award of the sole arbitrator. The sole arbitrator partially found in Extera Partners’ favor and held that it was entitled to €581,000 (plus interest) in success fees in respect of consideration received to date in connection with the relevant partnering transaction. Decisions on Extera Partners’ claim for a success fee in respect of potential future revenues in connection with the relevant partnering transaction, and on the costs of the arbitration, will be made in further proceedings. The Company intends to continue vigorously to defend against Extera Partners’ claims.
