(the “Buyer”) and Flavor Producers, Inc. for a cash purchase price of approximately $9.8 million, of which $1.5 million is subject to an earn-out based on the financial performance of BioZone for the twelve months following the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”). Accordingly, the Company will receive $8.3 million at the Closing subject to certain post-closing adjustments including adjustments based on BioZone’s working capital as of the closing date. The Company has agreed at the Closing to issue purchase orders to BioZone under the Manufacturing and Supply agreement described below of $2 million. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay down $350,000 of BioZone’s accounts payables which will be deducted from the purchase price. As part of the transaction, the Company has agreed to sell 200,000 shares of its common stock for $50,000. The Acquisition Agreement also provides that if the Company is unable to obtain certain concessions from a landlord at one of BioZone’s facilities, Biozone may cause the Company to assume the lease of the subject premises. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the Company’s second fiscal quarter.

The above and below descriptions of the Acquisition Agreement, the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, the Development and Supply Agreement and the other documents referenced above do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Acquisition Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Additionally, a copy of the related press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Simultaneous with the Closing, the Company and Flavor Producers, Inc. (“FPI”), the parent company of the Buyer will enter into a Product Development and Supply Agreement (the “Development and Supply Agreement”) pursuant to which FPI will develop certain products to be sold by the Company.
