Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 28, 2012, Unilife Corporation (“Unilife”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies & Company, Inc. and Leerink Swann LLC (the “Underwriters”), relating to the underwritten offering, issuance and sale of 6,154,000 shares of Unilife’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The price to the public in this offering is $3.25 per share and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the shares from Unilife at a price of $3.0875 per share. The net proceeds to Unilife from this offering are expected to be approximately $18,800,475, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by Unilife. The offering is expected to close on or about July 5, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.

The shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement to be dated as of June 28, 2012, which is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with a takedown from Unilife’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-173195), which became effective on June 30, 2011, and the base prospectus dated June 30, 2011.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements by Unilife, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of Unilife and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Each director and executive officer of Unilife has entered into agreements not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of securities of Unilife beneficially owned by such director or officer during the 90-day period following the offering, subject to certain exceptions and extension in certain circumstances.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report. The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of Unilife. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in Unilife’s filings with the SEC. A copy of the opinion of DLA Piper LLP (US) relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

On June 28, 2012, Unilife issued a news release announcing the pricing of the offering. A copy of this news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
