Item 1.01 — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 11, 2012, MELA Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has entered into a master production agreement (the “Production Agreement”) with Askion GmbH, a German company (“Askion”). Under the terms of the Production Agreement, Askion will manufacture and test certain components of the Company’s MelaFind® system, including the hand-held imaging device. Askion will also assemble and test the integrated finished MelaFind® system, including the cart, for units to be sold within the European Union. In addition, Askion will perform certain other services for the Company, such as warehousing, labeling, shipping, service and repair. The Company will provide Askion with purchase orders setting forth, among other things, the component and amount to be produced or the service to be rendered along with the purchase price to be paid. The Production Agreement has an initial term of three years, unless earlier terminated by either party in accordance with its terms, and shall renew for successive three year periods, unless one party notifies the other of its intention not to renew the Production Agreement. The Production Agreement replaces in its entirety the production agreement between the Company and Askion dated as of January 25, 2006. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.
