Item 1.01		Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
		On October 18, 2006, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Bayer HealthCare LLC entered into a license and collaboration agreement to globally develop, and commercialize outside the United States, the VEGF Trap for the treatment of eye diseases by local administration (the “VEGF Trap-Eye”). Under the terms of the agreement, Bayer will make an up-front payment of $75.0 million to Regeneron. In addition, Regeneron is eligible to receive up to $110 million in development and regulatory milestones, including a total of $40 million upon the initiation of Phase 3 trials in defined major indications such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. Regeneron is also eligible to receive up to an additional $135 million in sales milestones when and if total annual sales of the VEGF Trap-Eye outside the United States achieve certain specified levels starting at $200 million.
		Regeneron and Bayer will share equally in any future profits arising from the commercialization of the VEGF Trap-Eye outside the United States. Within the United States, Regeneron is responsible for any future commercialization of the VEGF Trap-Eye and has exclusive rights to any future profits arising therefrom.
		Agreed upon development expenses incurred by both companies under a global development plan will be shared as follows:
		2007: Up to $50.0 million shared equally; Regeneron solely responsible for up to the next $40.0 million; over $90.0 million shared equally.      2008: Up to $70.0 million shared equally, Regeneron solely responsible for up to the next $30.0 million; over $100.0 million shared equally.      2009 and thereafter: All expenses shared equally.
		If the VEGF Trap-Eye is granted marketing authorization in a major market country outside the United States, Regeneron will be obligated to reimburse Bayer for 50% of agreed upon development expenses that Bayer has incurred in accordance with a formula based on the amount of development expenses and Regeneron’s share of the collaboration profits, or at a faster rate at Regeneron’s option.
		Bayer has the right to terminate the agreement without cause with at least six months or twelve months advance notice depending on defined circumstances at the time of termination. In the event of termination of the agreement for any reason, Regeneron retains all rights to the VEGF Trap-Eye.
		A copy of the press release announcing the agreement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
