Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Transfer Agreement

            On August 7, 2019, Orgenesis Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), Masthercell Global Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of the Company that holds its business relating to the third party manufacturing for cell therapy companies (CDMO) (“Masthercell Global”) and GPP-II Masthercell, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPP-II”), entered into a Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”), the principal terms of which are summarized below.

            As a result of the Reorganization (as that term is defined in that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 28, 2018, by and among the Company, Masthercell Global and GPP-II (the “Purchase Agreement”)) and as reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2018) and as of the date of the Transfer Agreement, Masthercell Global owned (i) all of the equity interests (the “Israel Sub Equity Interests”) of Atvio Biotech Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel (“Israel Sub”) and (ii) 94.12% of the equity interests (the “South Korea Sub Equity Interests,” and together with the Israel Sub Equity Interests, the “Designated Subsidiary Equity Interests”) of CureCell Co., Ltd., a Korean stock corporation (“South Korea Sub,” and together with the Israel Sub, the “Designated Subsidiaries”).

            Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transfer Agreement, in exchange for the transfer to the Company of all of Masthercell Global’s right, title and interest in the Designated Subsidiary Equity Interests, the Company agreed to pay Masthercell Global one dollar ($1.00) . The Transfer Agreement also contains agreements made with respect to certain intercompany loans.

            In addition, pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Company and Masthercell Global agreed that (i) the Company and its subsidiaries shall cease all use or engagement of any employees or services providers of Masterchell Global or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) Masthercell Global may use the services of the Israel Sub or South Korea Sub for certain subcontracting services on terms and at prices mutually agreed between the Company and Masthercell Global, and (iii) if the Company determines that it needs manufacturing services of the type offered by MaSTherCell S.A. (“MC Belgium”) and/or Masthercell U.S., LLC (“MC US”), Masthercell Global (on behalf of MC Belgium or MC US, as applicable) and the Company shall use good faith efforts to negotiate and execute a contract that contemplates MC Belgium or MC US, as applicable, providing such manufacturing services to the Company; provided, that such contract shall be on terms and at prices (in accordance with standard fair market rates) that are mutually agreed between the Company and Masthercell Global at the time any such contract is executed. The Israel Sub and the South Korea Sub also agreed to be bound by certain restrictive covenants contained in the Stockholders Agreement dated as of June 28, 2018, by and among Masthercell Global, GPP-II Masthercell LLC and the Company (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), and it was agreed that each of the Israel Sub and the South Korea Sub shall be able to conduct any business that the Company is permitted to conduct under the Purchase Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement. In addition, it was agreed that after the date of the Transfer Agreement, the Israel Sub and the South Korea Sub shall not be included in any calculation of EBITDA for the purposes of any determination of a Material Underperformance Event under the Stockholders’ Agreement.

            Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, Masthercell Global also granted to the Israel Sub and the South Korea Sub a nonexclusive license to use the technology licensed to Masthercell Global pursuant to the License Agreement, dated December 30, 2016 by and among the Company and MC Belgium (the “QMS License”) so long as (i) Masthercell Global has the right to grant such sublicense, (ii) granting such sublicense does not result in Masthercell Global incurring any direct or indirect cost, (iii) the Israel Sub and the South Korea Sub comply with the terms of the QMS License and only use such technology in the countries of Israel and South Korea, and (iv) the Company, the Israel Sub and the South Korea Sub do not breach certain terms of the Transfer Agreement or any terms of any noncompete, nonsolicit or other restrictive covenant contained in the Stockholders’ Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

            The parties to the Transfer Agreement also agreed that the “Term” as defined in that certain Management Services Agreement, by and between the Company and Masthercell Global, dated June 28, 2018, shall terminate on June 28, 2020.
