On December 28, 2018, we commenced litigation against BioNucleonics, Inc. (“BNI”) and parties related to BNI in the Supreme Court of New York, New York County. The litigation stems from a license agreement that we entered into with BNI in 2016 and amended from time to time. Under the agreement with BNI, we were granted a worldwide, exclusive license on certain BNI intellectual property and the option to acquire the BNI IP within three years of the agreement. The BNI IP consists of generic Strontium Chloride SR89 (generic Metastron®) (“SR89”) and all of BNI’s intellectual property relating to it (“BNI IP”). SR89 is a radiopharmaceutical therapeutic for cancer bone pain therapy.

In exchange for the consideration, we agreed, upon reaching various milestones, to issue to BNI an aggregate of up to 110,000 shares of common stock and to provide funding to BNI for an aggregate of $850,000 in cash. Under the agreement, once we have funded up to $850,000 in cash, we may exercise the option to acquire the BNI IP at no additional charge. By our accounts, we have provided BNI with over $950,000 in cash. We have exercised our option to acquire the BNI IP, but BNI has not transferred the BNI IP to us. As a result, we have commenced litigation to, among other actions, obtain all of the BNI IP. We also seek judgments against BNI and related parties for the misappropriation of funds, breach of contract, fraud and fraudulent inducement.

Our Verified Complaint against BNI and its related parties is publicly available on the website of the New York Unified Court System and may be found at https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/DocumentDisplayServlet?documentId=189dAPiWb5F7AwCrYRPzKw==&system=prod
