Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 8, 2025, Silo Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Termination, Commercial Evaluation License, and Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the University of Maryland, Baltimore (“UMB”). The Agreement terminates the Master License Agreement dated February 12, 2021 (the “MLA”), previously in effect between the Company and UMB, and provides the Company with an exclusive, non-transferable evaluation license, as well as an exclusive option to negotiate a new exclusive commercial license, with respect to certain intellectual property related to central nervous system-homing peptides (the “Invention” and related “Patent Rights”) that were previously licensed under the MLA.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive option (the “Option”), exercisable during the term of the Agreement, to negotiate and obtain an exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-bearing license to the Invention and Patent Rights for the therapeutic treatment of neuroinflammatory disease worldwide. The Option may be exercised by (i) providing written notice and submitting an acceptable commercialization plan to UMB, and (ii) paying a $1,000 option fee, which is creditable against certain future expenses if a commercial license is executed. The Agreement was effective as of July 8, 2025, and will expire on March 31, 2026, unless earlier terminated or superseded by a new definitive license agreement upon exercise of the Option.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
