Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 25, 2016, Bestewil Holding B.V. ("BH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mymetics Corporation, the registrant, received notice from RSV Corporation ("RSVC") that RSVC was terminating the Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement ("LCA") dated December 27, 2013 between RSVC and BH. Under the terms of the LCA, RSVC agreed to pay an up-front non-revocable license fee of $5,000,000 for an exclusive worldwide license for the global development and commercialization of BH's respiratory syncytial virus ("RSV") vaccine. RSVC is a subsidiary of ClearPath Development Company, a company with which Astellas Pharma Inc. ("Astellas") has announced a strategic partnership to form a portfolio of vaccine development companies with products for immunization against infectious diseases. Astellas’ funding to RSVC was to be used to support development of the RSV virosome vaccine from BH up to a Phase 2b. Astellas received exclusive rights to acquire RSVC as well as further develop and commercialize the vaccine product.
Under the terms of the LCA, BH and RSVC collaborated to conduct research and development of the RSV vaccine in accordance with a research and development plan ("R&D Plan"). RSVC funded and managed the research and development activities set forth in the R&D Plan.
The LCA was terminated for convenience under section 11.2(a) of the LCA that provided for termination six months from the date of notice of such termination or July 25, 2016. Under the terms of the LCA, Mymetics regains its exclusive rights for research, development and commercialization of the RSV virosome vaccine, receives back all results, data and contracts related to the RSV vaccine and has the right to receive the intellectual property jointly developed with RSVC.
The Company issued a press release dated January 29, 2016 announcing the termination of the LCA by RSVC, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K.
The above is a summary of the terms of the LCA and is qualified in its entirety by the LCA that was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 3, 2014.
