Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 6, 2017, Rezolute, Inc. (“Rezolute”) entered into a license agreement (“License Agreement”) with XOMA Corporation (“XOMA”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, XOMA (US) LLC, pursuant to which XOMA granted an exclusive global license to Rezolute to develop and commercialize XOMA 358 (formerly X358, now RZ358) for all indications. XOMA and Rezolute concurrently entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” and, together with the License Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”) pursuant to which Rezolute would issue equity securities to XOMA in connection with certain financing milestones. On March 30, 2018, XOMA and Rezolute amended the Transaction Documents to add terms specifying the financial responsibility for certain tasks related to the technology transfer and to adjust the number of shares issuable to XOMA under the Purchase Agreement.
On January 7, 2019, the parties further amended the Transaction Documents. The License Agreement was amended to eliminate the requirement that
equity securities be issued to XOMA upon the closing of a Qualified Financing (as defined in the License Agreement) and to replace it with a requirement that Rezolute make five cash payments to XOMA totaling $8,500,000 on or before specified
staggered future dates (the “Future Cash Payments”). Until the Future Cash Payments are fully paid, Rezolute will pay XOMA 15% of the net
proceeds of each Future Financing (“Early Payments”) to be credited against the remaining unpaid Future Cash Payments in reverse order of
their future payment date. Obligations to make the Future Cash Payments following a Qualified Financing and the obligations to make Early Payments shall end when the Future Cash Payments are fully paid. In accordance with the terms of the License
Agreement, XOMA will receive $5,476,000 in cash upon the closing of a Qualified Financing which is additional to the amounts referenced directly above.
In addition, License Agreement amendment revised the amount Rezolute is required to expend on development of RZ358 and related licensed products
and revised provisions with respect to Rezolute’s diligence efforts in conducting clinical studies. Finally, the amendment to the License Agreement eliminated XOMA’s right to appoint a member of Rezolute’s board of directors.
The Purchase Agreement was amended to remove certain provisions related to the issuance of equity to XOMA in accordance with the new provisions
regarding Future Cash Payments in the License Agreement. Rezolute anticipates filing the amendments to the License Agreement and Purchase Agreement with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2018.
