Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 23, 2015, a subsidiary of Panacea Global, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Distributor Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Panacea Avecina, Inc. (“Avecina”), an Ontario-chartered entity unrelated to the Company. Avecina agreed to distribute the cancer testing products based on human aspartyl beta-hydroxylase of the Company’s Ontario-chartered subsidiary, Panacea Global, Inc. (“Panacea Ontario”), in the countries of Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Oman, and Yemen. Avecina will pay $70 per product to Panacea Ontario with a goal of purchasing and distributing $500,000 worth of products by December 31, 2015.


Avecina has two obligations pursuant to the Agreement. Its first obligation is to purchase a minimum of $40,000 worth of products from Panacea Ontario by December 31, 2015. Its second obligation is to pay one billion, four hundred million (1,400,000,000) tomans to Panacea Ontario by January 23, 2018. Tomans are a superunit of the Iranian currency, the rial. 1 toman equals 10 rials. As of February 12, 2015, 1.4 billion tomans, i.e., 14 billion rials, equaled approximately $500,000 in US dollars.


The foregoing description of the terms of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.
