Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On April 9, 2020, iBio, Inc. (“iBio”) issued a press release announcing the signing of two Master Services Agreements (the MSAs”) and a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MoU”) with the Infectious Disease Research Institute (“IDRI”) in support of iBio’s SARS-CoV-2 Virus-Like Particle (“VLP”) vaccine development. Under the MSAs, IDRI will support pre-clinical development and provide clinical trial oversight, while iBio will provide process development and manufacturing services to IDRI, as needed. Additionally, the MoU calls for iBio and IDRI to establish a separate, additional agreement within the next 60 days if iBio opts to include one of IDRI’s novel adjuvants in the COVID-19 vaccine development program (“IBIO-200”). A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
