 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On June&nbsp;14, 2011, pSivida Corp., and its wholly owned subsidiaries pSivida US, Inc. and pSiMedica Limited (collectively, &#147;pSivida&#148;) and
Pfizer Inc.(&#147;Pfizer&#148;) entered into an Amended and Restated Collaborative Research and License Agreement dated as of June&nbsp;14, 2011 (the &#147;Restated Agreement&#148;) which amended and restated their Collaborative Research and License
Agreement dated as of April&nbsp;3, 2007 (the &#147;Original Agreement&#148;). As more fully described below, under the Restated Agreement, pSivida granted Pfizer an exclusive option under various circumstances to a license to develop and
commercialize worldwide a sustained release bioerodible implant designed to deliver latanoprost by subconjunctival injection (the &#147;Product&#148;) for opthalmic disease. pSivida is entitled to consideration of up to $168.8 million plus
royalties, regains all rights to its intellectual property in ophthalmic applications previously included in the Original Agreement other than pursuant to the Restated Agreement and has rights to develop and commercialize the Product if Pfizer
doesn&#146;t exercise its option. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Restated Agreement, Pfizer will pay pSivida $2.3 million in cash as an upfront payment and
pSivida agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop the Product at its expense and with technical assistance from Pfizer for at least one year and thereafter, at pSivida&#146;s option, through completion of Phase II clinical trials, as
defined. Upon completion of Phase II clinical trials, Pfizer has the option to acquire, upon payment of an option fee of $20 million, an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Product for ophthalmic disease in humans other
than Uveitis. If Pfizer exercises its option, it must use commercially reasonable efforts at its expense to develop and commercialize the Product, and pSivida is eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments that
could total up to $146.5 million and double-digit royalties based on net sales of the Product. If Pfizer does not exercise this option, pSivida will be able to develop and commercialize the Product on its own or with a partner with rights to Pfizer
intellectual property necessary to develop and commercialize the Product. If pSivida elects to cease development of the Product prior to completion of Phase II clinical trials, Pfizer also has an option to acquire, upon payment of a lesser option
fee, an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Product for ophthalmic disease in humans other than Uveitis at its expense. In this case, Pfizer must also use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the
Product, and pSivida is eligible to receive lesser development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and a lower royalty on net sales of the Product. If Pfizer does not exercise this option, pSivida will be able to develop and commercialize
the Product on its own or with a partner with rights to Pfizer intellectual property necessary to develop and commercialize the Product, following a one-year cessation of development activities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Either Party may terminate the Restated Agreement for various reasons including in the event of a material breach of the Restated Agreement that is not
cured within the applicable cure period or if the other Party enters into bankruptcy or similar proceedings. Pfizer may terminate the Restated Agreement at Pfizer&#146;s sole discretion on 60 days&#146; notice. In the event Pfizer terminates in its
discretion on 60 days&#146; notice or pSivida terminates for Pfizer&#146;s material breach, pSivida has the right to develop and commercialize the Product. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Restated Agreement replaces all of the rights and obligations under the Original Agreement, except for confidentiality and indemnification. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II dose-escalating clinical study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Product in patients with elevated intraoccular pressure is underway. </FONT></P>
