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.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Our
Press Release relating to the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1
and is hereby incorporated.
