Pharmedica Exclusive License Agreement

 

On June 21, 2018, Green C executed an Exclusive License Agreement with Pharmedica, Ltd. (“Pharmedica”), an Israeli company, to exploit certain Pharmedica intellectual property for the development and distribution of a certain Licensed Product involved in the transmucosal delivery of medicinal or recreational cannabis. The agreement provides for Green C payments to Pharmedica of a $100,000 license fee (which was paid by 2591028 Ontario Limited, an entity affiliated with Green C’s Chief Executive Officer, on June 26, 2018) and annual royalties at a rate of 5% of the Net Sales of the Licensed Product subject to a Minimum Annual Royalty of $50,000. The agreement also provides for certain milestones to be accomplished by Green C in order for Green C to retain the license. Green C and Pharmedica each may terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of a material breach by the other party of its obligations under the agreement and such other party’s failure to remedy such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the other party within thirty (30) days after being requested in writing to do so.

 

The Company generated only minimal revenues from this asset through December 31, 2019 and did not pay the Year 1 Minimum Annual Royalty of $50,000 due Pharmedica. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $69,749 at December 31, 2019 and reduced the $69,749 remaining carrying value of this intangible asset to $0.

 

On September 2, 2020, Green C notified Pharmedica of Green C’s termination of the Exclusive License Agreement and Green C’s intention to wind up Green C.

 

On September 17, 2020, Pharmedica notified Green C of Pharmedica’s acceptance of Green C’s proposal to terminate the license agreement and Pharmedica’s intention not to burden Green C further. Accordingly, we recorded “Forgiveness of Royalty Payable” other income of $50,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and reduced the $50,000 “Accrued Royalties” liability balance to $0.

 

Sub-License Agreement with Symtomax Unipessoal Lda

 

On July 15, 2019, the Company executed a Sub-License Agreement with Symtomax Unipessoal Lda (“Symtomax”).

 

The agreement provides for the Company’s grant to Symtomax of a non-exclusive right and sub-license to use certain Company technology and intellectual property to develop and commercialize products for sale in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The agreement provides for Symtomax payments of royalties to the Company (payable monthly) ranging from 10% to 17% of Symtomax sales of eluting patches developed from Company technology.

 

On May 27, 2020, the Company executed an amended and restated sub-license agreement with Symtomax (the “Amended License Agreement”). The term of the Amended License Agreement ends the earlier of (i) August 31, 2021 and (ii) the date that Symtomax is no longer commercializing any of the products. The term is extended for an additional year on each anniversary of the agreement for any country where the royalty payment in respect of such country was equal to or greater than $1,000,000 for the previous year.

 

To date, Symtomax has not made any sales requiring the payment of royalties to the Company.
