In 2012, Par Pharmaceutical agreed to be acquired by the private equity firm TPG Capital.[2]
On September 28, 2015, Endo International plc completed the acquisition of Par Pharmaceutical Holdings INc.

IntelliPharmaCeutics
In 2007 Par Pharmaceutical signed a drug development collaboration with pharmaceutical research company IntelliPharmaCeutics Inc,. Under the arrangement, IntelliPharmaCeutics will apply its proprietary technology to the formulation and development of four generic drug products (ANDA's) which are bioequivalent to existing branded drugs with commercial sales in the United States. The terms of the deal provide that Par will be responsible for certain costs of development, and that IntelliPharmaCeutics will receive milestone payments, incentive payments and success-based payments along with a share of the profits of commercialization. Par will be responsible for the distribution of the drugs in the United States.[3]
