Item 1.01 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported, on August 15, 2012, Mojo Organics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Juice License Agreement (“License Agreement”) with Chiquita Brands L.L.C. (“Chiquita”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, Chiquita granted to the Company an exclusive license to use Chiquita’s marks in the manufacture, sale, promotion, marketing, advertising and distribution of certain fruit juice products in select containers in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York and a non exclusive license for the other states. If the Company failed to attain the minimum sales volume and/or minimum royalty payments required pursuant to the License Agreement in the exclusive territory for certain periods of time, Chiquita had the right to terminate the License Agreement by written notice.

 

On March 27, 2015, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Chiquita provided the Company with a letter: (i) providing written notice of termination effective September 27, 2015 for failure by the Company to achieve the minimum sales volume in the exclusive territory; (ii) providing the Company with a right of sell off of any existing inventory of the licensed products; (iii) demanding payment by the Company of liquidated damages in the amount of $1,014,446; (iv) demanding a minimum royalty payment for contract period three in the amount of $507,223; and (v) demanding payment of additional royalties earned in the non-exclusive territories in the aggregate amount of $7,174.88. Chiquita also informed the Company that if all royalties due are not received by April 30, 2015, Chiquita will exercise its right to immediate termination for nonpayment of royalties under the License Agreement.
