Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On September 24, 2021, POINT Biopharma Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“POINT”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of POINT Biopharma Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to that certain Exclusive Sublicense Agreement, dated April 2, 2020,
between POINT and Bach Biosciences, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Bach Biosciences”), as amended by the
First Amendment to Exclusive Sublicense Agreement, dated April 14, 2020, and the Second Amendment to Exclusive Sublicense Agreement, dated
January 5, 2021 (collectively, the “Sublicense Agreement”).
The Sublicense Agreement grants to POINT an exclusive,
sublicensable, worldwide license under Bach Biosciences’ patent rights to use, develop, manufacture and commercialize any products
arising from the licensed technology. Under the Sublicense Agreement, the Company is responsible for the costs of all preclinical and
clinical development activities during the preclinical and clinical development phase of the collaboration.
Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company exercised
its option (the “Commercialization Option”) under the Sublicense Agreement to acquire a worldwide exclusive, royalty bearing
license to commercialize any products and processes from uses of patent rights for FAP-targeted radiopharmaceuticals. The Third Amendment
also amended the Sublicense Agreement to provide POINT with the first option (the “Invention Option”) to acquire a worldwide
exclusive royalty bearing license to Bach Biosciences’ patent rights, materials and know-how with respect to new inventions directed
to FAP-targeted radiopharmaceuticals. As partial consideration for the exercise of the Commercialization Option and the grant of the Invention
Option under the Third Amendment, POINT paid to Bach Sciences, upon execution of the Sublicense Agreement, an upfront payment of $600,000
and, in connection with execution of the Third Amendment, an option exercise fee of $3,250,000. POINT is also required to make regular
quarterly contributions up to a specified amount to Bach Sciences’ specified research and development until June 1, 2022 and October
1, 2022, in each case, commencing on October 1, 2021. The Sublicense Agreement also requires that POINT will be required to make aggregate
milestone payments of up to $8,000,000 to Bach Biosciences upon the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones and
up to $38,000,000 upon the achievement of specified sales milestones. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, POINT also acquired a right of
first negotiation to future radiopharmaceuticals (which are not FAPi radiopharmaceuticals inventions or other inventions subject to the
Invention Option) owned or controlled by Bach Biosciences.
The Third Amendment also amends the sublicense
fees and reimbursable expenses payable by POINT under the Sublicense Agreement. As amended, the sublicense fee ranging from low-teens
to mid-twenties to be paid by POINT based upon income and other benefits received with respect to sublicenses by POINT and its affiliates
of the licensed patents will be determined for each distinct licensed product or related family of licensed products. In addition, the
Third Amendment provides that, in addition to reimbursement of ongoing patent expenses, for the patents with respect to which POINT exercised
its Commercialization Option, POINT will also reimburse Bach Biosciences for all sunk patent expenses up to a specified maximum amount
per patent application family having a common priority date incurred by Bach Biosciences prior to the exercise of such option by POINT.
The Sublicense Agreement also obligates POINT to reimburse Bach Biosciences for all costs and expenses incurred related to the development,
manufacture, regulatory approval and commercialization of all licensed products.
POINT has the right to terminate the Sublicense
Agreement, subject to a prior written notice of 90 days to Bach Biosciences. If POINT or Bach Biosciences fails to comply with any of
its obligations or otherwise breaches the agreement, the other party may terminate the agreement. The Sublicense Agreement will expire
upon the cessation of commercialization of the last licensed product by POINT.
