Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On March 3, 2016, Chromadex Inc. (“ChromaDex”), a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ChromaDex Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Second Amendment to NIAGEN® Supply Agreement (“Amendment”), with 5Linx Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“5Linx®”). The Amendment amends the NIAGEN® Supply Agreement dated January 1, 2014 (“Supply Agreement”), an Addendum to the NIAGEN® Supply Agreement dated June 26, 2014 and the First Amendment to NIAGEN® Supply Agreement dated March 31, 2015 (collectively, the “Prior Amendments”).
The Supply Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 8, 2015. Under the terms of the Supply Agreement and Prior Amendments, 5Linx® received marketing rights for NIAGEN® for use in dietary supplements in melt format exclusively in the MLM sales channel in the U.S., Canada and the Philippines. The Supply Agreement specified that to retain exclusivity, 5Linx® would need to purchase a minimum of $46 million of NIAGEN® in years 2015 through 2017. The Prior Amendments granted exclusivity for Energy Shots as well and amended the minimum purchase amount required to retain exclusivity for NIAGEN® to $21 million for the period from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2017.
Pursuant to the Amendment, ChromaDex and 5Linx® agreed to following:
|
(a)
|
Exclusivity for NIAGEN® is granted only in the melt format in the MLM sales channel; and
|
|
(b)
|
For years 2016 through 2017, 5Linx® must take or pay $1.52 million of NIAGEN®, and to retain exclusivity, 5Linx® must purchase $4 million of NIAGEN®
|
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms of the Amendment and does not purport to be complete. You should read the complete Prior Amendments and the Amendment, which shall each be attached as exhibits to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2016 and, when filed, such agreements shall be incorporated by reference herein. The Company will seek confidential treatment for certain terms of the Prior Amendments and the Amendment at the time of filing such Quarterly Report.
