SECTION 1- REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 15, 2016, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Intercytex, Ltd., a company incorporated in England and Wales (“Intercytex”). Under the Agreement, we acquired all assets related to Intercytex’s regenerative medicine technology known as ICX-RHY/Vavelta™. ICX-RHY is a suspension of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) in cell storage medium, which has demonstrated an ability [in clinical / preclinical trials] to repair and rejuvenate skin. It has been designed to improve the structure, function and appearance of skin damaged by medical conditions such as Epidermolysis bullosa, scarring and associated scar contractures, or the aging process. When injected into the skin, the HDFs are believed to remodel and lay down collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins within the dermis.  The HDFs begin producing collagen, which leads to skin improvement. ICX-RHY is being developed primarily for medical applications, but has also demonstrated utility in aesthetics.

 

Under the Agreement, we have acquired all material assets currently owned by Intercytex, including clinical trial data and files, patents, trademarks, formulation, proposed formulations, contracts, working inventory, marketing material, websites, and licenses. The purchase price for the Intercytex assets was $2 million, paid as follows:

 

  • 1,538,462 shares of common stock, valued at $1 million pursuant to the pricing formula set forth in the Agreement; and

  • Warrants to purchase 1,538,462 shares of common stock at purchase price of $0.65, exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The Warrants were valued at $1 million pursuant to the pricing formula set forth in the Agreement.

In addition, we agreed to assume and pay certain liabilities of Intercytex in the approximate amount of £60,000. Further, we have agreed to assume certain ongoing contractual obligations related to the maintenance of the ICX-RHY technology, including ongoing agreements with patent agents and cell storage facilities.

 

Finally, we have also agreed to make the following milestone payments to Intercytex in the future:

 

  • A one-time fee to be paid within thirty days of the commercial launch of Vavelta™ in the U.S.; and

  • A one-time milestone payment to be paid upon reaching a certain level of sales of Vavelta™.
