UM 5070 license agreement
On January 10, 2017, the “Company entered into a license agreement with the University of Mississippi pursuant to which UM granted the Company an exclusive, perpetual license, including the right to sublicense, under intellectual property related to UM5070, a platform of cannabinoid-based molecules to research, develop and commercialize products for the treatment of infectious diseases. The license agreement culminates roughly one year of screening and target molecule identification studies especially focused on therapy-resistant infectious organisms like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The license agreement contains certain milestone and royalty payments, as defined therein. There is a one-time upfront payment of $65,000 payable in four equal monthly installments that started on February 1, 2017. These licenses also require the Company to reimburse UM for patent costs incurred related to these products under license. These license agreements will terminate upon expiration of the patents, breach or default of the license agreements, or upon 60 days’ written notice by the Company to UM.
Convertible Preferred Stock Issuance
In January 2017, the Company sold 1,200 shares of convertible preferred stock with a purchase price of $1,000 per share for gross proceeds of $1,200,000 to a healthcare investment fund and private investors under the Series D Preferred Stock Agreement. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 4,000 shares of common stock which results in an effective conversion price of $0.25 per common share. This results in the reduction of the conversion price of the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock to $0.25 and a reduction in the exercise price of the Series B warrants to $0.25. As part of the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the purchaser to file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the preferred shares within 30 days following the closing of the agreement. In addition, the placement agent received a warrant to purchase up to 480,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.25 per share that expires in January, 2022. |
