Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Amendment of Antares License Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on October 14, 2021, Lipocine Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Antares Pharma, Inc. (“Antares”), pursuant to which the Company granted to Antares an exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable right and license to develop and commercialize, upon final approval of TLANDO® from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Company’s TLANDO product with respect to testosterone replacement therapy in males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone, as indicated in NDA No. 208088, treatment of Klinefelter syndrome, and pediatric indications relating to testosterone replacement therapy in males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone (the “Field”), in each case within the United States. The License Agreement also provides Antares with an option, exercisable on or before March 31, 2022, to license TLANDO XR, the Company’s potential once-daily oral product candidate for testosterone replacement therapy. The Company retains development and commercialization rights in the rest of the world, and with respect to applications outside of the Field inside or outside the United States. Antares will also purchase certain existing inventory of licensed products from the Company, subject to testing and acceptance procedures.

 

On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the License Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the License Agreement was amended to extend the deadline by which Antares shall exercise its option to license TLANDO XR to June 30, 2022. Under the amendment, Antares must now exercise its option to license TLANDO XR on or before June 30, 2022. As consideration for the Company agreeing to enter into the Amendment, Antares agreed to pay to the Company a non-refundable cash fee of $500,000. The Amendment also reduced the fee initially payable by Antares upon its exercise of its option to license TLANDO XR from $1,500,000 to $1,000,000.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2022.
