Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On November 18, 2011 Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (us, we, our) entered into a letter agreement with Glottech-USA, LLC, which will govern distribution rights, exclusivity and royalty provisions as they relate to Glottechs proprietary and patented mechanical ultrasound technology for use in water purification in the process of separation of salt and other minerals from lithium bearing brine produced from oil and gas operations.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we are granted an exclusive license to use and distribute the technology within the Swan Hills region of Alberta as well as the non-exclusive right to distribute the technology within Canada. Glottech has agreed not to distribute, or license, this product within Canada for the term of the agreement to any entities involved in the business of mineral exploration or production. Our distribution rights will be subject to a distribution agreement to be entered into by the two parties.
We will be subject to royalty payments on any revenue created by the use or distribution of the acquired technology. We have applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 26b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding the particulars of the royalty payments. We believe that public disclosure of these terms could potentially damage the ability of Glottech and our company to distribute the technology to other users.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement we will acquire one initial unit of Glottechs technology for operations in the Swan Hills region of Alberta. The use of this unit will be subject to a license and lease agreement to be entered into by both parties.
We have previously made the following payments in association with the production of a working unit of Glottechs technology:
A. |
$25,000 on March 21, 2011 in consideration for entering into the letter agreement dated March 17, 2011; | |
B. |
$75,000 on May 27, 2011; and | |
C. |
$700,000 on May 27, 2011. |
The term of the letter agreement and consequently our ability to distribute the unit of Glottechs technology shall be for an initial period of five years, automatically renewable thereafter for successive five year periods of time so long as we, directly or indirectly through third party purchasers, have licensed five technology units from Glottech per year.
Additionally, as part of the letter agreement, Alexander Walsh, our director and officer, will also provide Glottech with the option, for a period of 12 months, to acquire 2,000,000 shares of our common stock currently held by him, for a total price of $1. If, for any reason, Mr. Walsh fails to deliver the 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to Glottech, it will be our responsibility to issue the shares from treasury.
This letter agreement replaces all agreements previously entered into between our company and Glottech.
