Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 9, 2019, Oxford Immunotec Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxford Immunotec Global PLC (“OI Global”), entered into an Amended and Restated Supply and Reseller Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Life Technologies Corporation (“LTC”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, we purchase and resell a product that can be used in performing tests using our T-SPOT^® technology. We provide rolling forecasts of our anticipated purchases and portions of those forecasts become binding orders. We have minimum annual purchase obligations under the Agreement, as well as obligations to purchase certain amounts based on our forecasts. The agreement expires, unless earlier terminated, on December 31, 2019. Either party may terminate for a material uncured breach, the insolvency or bankruptcy of the other party, if one of our twelve-month forecasts does not reflect any anticipated purchases of product or if we purchase no product during a twelve-month period.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to OI Global’s next periodic report.
