On July 31, 2012 we executed a License Agreement with Navidea under which we granted Navidea an exclusive, worldwide sublicense to research, develop, and commercialize Altropane. In connection with the execution of this agreement, Navidea made a one-time sublicense execution payment to us equal to (i) One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000) and (ii) issued us 300,000 shares of NAVB common stock.
The license agreement also provided for contingent milestone payments of up to $2.9 million, $2.5 million of which will principally occur at the time of product registration or upon commercial sales, and the issuance of up to an additional 1.15 million shares of Navidea stock, 950,000 shares of which are issuable at the time of product registration or upon commercial sales.
On December 12, 2013 we were notified that Navidea had enrolled the first patient in a Phase III clinical trial of Altropane in the United States resulting in the payment of the cash sum of $200,000 to us and in the issuance of 100,000 shares of Navidea common stock to us.
