Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective as of December 7, 2018, (the “Effective Date”), Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Payment Restructuring Agreement (“Agreement”) with Battelle Memorial Institute (“Battelle”). The Agreement restructures the outstanding principal balance due to Battelle, which was approximately $4,342,300 as at October 18, 2017 (the “Battelle Principal”), under the Company’s Services Agreement and Collaboration Agreement with Battelle. The Company and Battelle agree that the Battelle Payables has and shall accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum, and from October 2017 through the Effective Date, interest in the amount of $324,545 has accrued. The Company shall pay Battelle any interest accruing following the Effective Date on the first day of each month. Any unpaid interest shall be added to the Battelle Principal amount.

 

Under the Agreement, the Company and Battelle agreed on a plan to reduce the Battelle Principal.  Battelle has agreed to participate in the Company’s next round of equity financing for at least $1,000,000 in the form of extinguishment of the Battelle Principal.  Furthermore, within 10 days following the next equity financing, the Company agrees to pay Battelle a sum of $972,281, and initiate payments to Battelle in the amount of $1,250,000 payable in five equal installments of $250,000 payable over the five succeeding calendar months thereafter.  In addition, the Company agrees to make two milestone payments.  The first milestone shall be payable upon enrollment of the first patient in the next AEROSURF® clinical study in an amount equal to half of the then-outstanding Battelle Principal, including unpaid interest.  The second milestone payment shall be made when the Company completes the device technology transfer for the Company’s next generation aerosol delivery system for AEROSURF in an amount equal to the then-outstanding Battelle Principal, including unpaid interest.  To secure its obligations to Battelle, within 10 days after the later of next equity financing or February 28, 2018, the Company has agreed to obtain a letter of credit at Battelle’s cost and for its benefit in the amount of the unpaid Battelle Principal on the date of issuance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any milestone payment remains unpaid on December 31, 2019, then all unpaid milestone payments shall be accelerated and be due in full on or before January 7, 2020.

 

The Company also confirmed its commitment to pay certain royalties to Battelle as set forth in its Collaboration Agreement with Battelle, and agrees to increase the maximum amount of royalties payable thereunder from $25,000,000 to $35,000,000.  In addition, within 30 days from the Effective Date, the Company agrees to issue 75,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, exercisable at a price of $6.50 per share, which expires on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date.
