Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. 

 

On June 2, 2015 Spotlight Innovation Inc., (the “Company”) closed on the transaction with Memcine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Memcine”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Memcine the Company acquired 822,500 shares of common stock of Memcine (representing approximately Eighty Two Percent (82%) of the outsanding securities of Memcine). The Board of Directors of Memcine consists of three members: Dr. Tony Vanden Bush, Ph.D, Cristopher Grunewald (President and Director of the Company), and John Krohn. In addition, the Company agreed to provide Memcine with up to Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars to fund the operations of Memcine via investment, grants or other means over the course of operations as determined by the board of directors of Memcine. The timing of funding will be determined by the milestones set by the Board of Directors of Memcine. The Board of Directors of Memcine consists of three members: Dr. Tony Vanden Bush, Ph.D., Cristopher Grunewald and John Krohn. Cristopher Grunewald was named Chief Executive Officer, and John Krohn was named Chief Financial Officer of Memcine. Memcine entered into an agreement with Dr. Tony Vanden Bush, Ph.D to serve as Chief Scientific Officer of Memcine.

 

Memcine is a universal vaccine platform company founded in 2010 to develop Immunoplex™, with broad applicability in both infectious diseases and oncology immunotherapy. Immunoplex™ infectious disease vaccines are delivered needle-free at mucosal surfaces without adjuvants, and elicit a more robust immune response via the body’s natural immune defenses. Immunoplex™ vaccines are protein subunit-based, and therefore avoid the manufacturing and distribution hurdles normally associated with infectious agent-based vaccines. Proof-of-concept has been achieved in several murine models, including Hepititus B, influenza, and a breast cancer immunotherapy model. Memcine’s business strategy is to function as a discovery engine and out-license by field and territory.

 

Immunoplex™ utilizes a universal antibody in all vaccines for both infectious diseases and oncology personalized medicine indications. The crux of the invention involves a proprietary peptide tag that is covalently attached to the antigen or tumor cell, and an antibody that binds the tag to form an “Immunoplex”. The tag-antibody complex delivers the antigen cargo to key immune players such as dendritic cells and macrophages. Thus the immune system is efficiently alerted, utilizing far less antigen than traditional vaccines and without harmful adjuvants. Memcine is managing patent applications on Immunoplex™ in collaboration with the University of Iowa Research Foundation.
