Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Effective October 6, 2020, we entered into a Research Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (“UGARF”), a non-profit corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Georgia, the performance of which UGARF will subcontract to the University of Georgia (“UGA”). The purpose of the Agreement is to memorialize the terms of our working together with UGA to conduct the necessary research and development to advance our Anti-Coronavirus lead compound, SBFM-PL4 (or derivatives thereof) through various stages of preclinical development, animal studies and clinical trials for Coronavirus infections. The Agreement grants us an exclusive worldwide license for all of the intellectual property developed by UGA, whether alone or jointly with us.
 
All of the work in respect of the project to be performed within the framework of the Agreement will be financed by us. As we recently reported (Form 8-K filed on September 15, 2020), we have executed a Financing Agreement with RB Capital Partners, Inc., La Jolla, CA, pursuant to which RB Capital Partners, Inc. has agreed to provide us with a minimum of $2 million in funding for Anti-Coronavirus drug development over the next three to six months. On September 14, 2020, we received the initial $250,000 of this financing.
 
We have the right to terminate the Agreement at any time with a ninety (90) day written notice. In the event such termination however, our exclusive worldwide license will also be terminated.

Our Press Release relating to the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated.
