Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective January 8, 2016, the Company entered into separate Professional Services Agreements with each of Dr. Chia Soo, Dr. Eric Kang Ting and Dr. Ben Wu (collectively, the “Founders”). Pursuant to each of the Agreements, each Founder agreed to provide certain services to the Company, including providing strategic advice and strategic introductions to the Company’s management team as well as specific services set forth on an Exhibit to each Agreement. The Agreements are substantially identical. In consideration for the services to be rendered under the applicable Agreement, each Founder was granted a 10-year stock option (the “Options”) to purchase 1,800,364 shares of the Company’s common stock corresponding to 4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis, at an exercise price of $1.59 per share. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2017, the Company was to pay each Founder an annual consulting fee of $200,000 in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of its common stock valued as provided in the Agreement. On June 1, 2016, the Company agreed to issue to each Founder a 10-year stock option to purchase 33,105 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.05 per share as an adjustment to amounts due under the Agreements. All options issued to the Founders under the Agreements immediately terminate if the Agreements are terminated for cause.

 

On December 13, 2016, the Company provided written notice to each of the Founders that it was terminating the Agreements for cause, indicating that absent cure of the material breach of the Agreements, termination of the Agreements was to be effective on January 12, 2017. Despite lengthy discussions with the Founders, and multiple extensions of the termination date to accommodate such discussions, the Company was unable to resolve the outstanding issues under the Agreements, and the Company provided notice that the Agreements were terminated, effective as of April 8, 2017. The Company recognizes the possibility that one or more of the Founders may contest the Company’s right to terminate the Agreements for cause.

 

Dr. Soo and Dr. Wu are directors of the Company, and Dr. Ting is on the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board. Each of the Advisors was involved in the founding of the Company.
