Item 1.02     Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

BioCardia, Inc. (the “Company”) and OPKO Health, Inc. (“OPKO”) previously entered into a consulting agreement dated August 19, 2016, between the Company and OPKO (the “Consulting Agreement”). The chairman and chief executive officer of OPKO is a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, OPKO was to provide advisory services to the Company in support of strategic transactions, financings and other matters as agreed between the parties from time to time. Also in August 2016, the Company granted OPKO a ten-year option to purchase 46,553 shares of common stock, with a 4-year vesting period and an exercise price of $16.20 per share, to OPKO as consideration for consulting services to be provided under the Consulting Agreement. The term of the Consulting Agreement was initially for 4 years and was to have been automatically renewed for successive one year periods.

 

Effective August 29, 2019, the Company and OPKO mutually agreed to terminate the Consulting Agreement without penalty or payment of any kind as the services under the Consulting Agreement were no longer necessary. In connection with the termination of the Consulting Agreement, OPKO’s option grant was amended such that it is unaffected by the termination of the Consulting Agreement and will continue to vest and remain outstanding for the remainder of its ten-year term unless earlier exercised.
