Item 1.01              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 4, 2018, Immunomedics, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with The Scripps Research Institute, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“TSRI”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, TSRI granted to the Company an exclusive, worldwide, sub-licensable, royalty-bearing license to use certain patent rights relating to the Company’s antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan. The License Agreement expires on a country-by-country basis on the expiration date of the last to expire licensed patent rights in such country covering a licensed product. The License Agreement may be terminated by the mutual written consent of the Company and TSRI, and TSRI may terminate the License Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including but not limited to if the Company does not make a payment due pursuant to the License Agreement and fails to cure such non-payment within 30 days after the date of TSRI’s written notice of such non-payment. As consideration for the license granted, the Company will make a cash payment of $250,000 to TSRI within 60 days of closing. Additionally, the Company will pay TRSI (i) product development milestone payments that range from the mid-six digit dollar figure to the low-seven digit dollar figure and (ii) royalties on net sales of licensed products in the low-single digit percentage figure range capped at an annual amount. The Company has agreed to use reasonable efforts to develop and market the licensed products.

 

The Company expects to file the License Agreement as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and intends to seek confidential treatment for certain terms and provisions of the License Agreement. The foregoing description of the License Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the License Agreement, when filed.
