Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement With, and Minority Investment in, Biomimetic Innovations Ltd

 

Licensing and Distribution Agreement

 

On January 16, 2025 (the “Execution Date”), the Company entered into a Licensing and Distribution Agreement (the “License Agreement”), by and between the Company and Biomimetic Innovation Limited, a privately-held medical device company headquartered in Shannon, Co. Clare Ireland (“BMI”), pursuant to which the Company acquired the exclusive U.S. marketing, sales and distribution rights to OsStic® Synthetic Injectable Structural Bio-Adhesive Bone Void Filler (“OsStic”), as well as an adjunctive internal fixation technology featuring novel delivery to promote targeted application of OsStic (“ARC” and together with OsStic, the “Products”), for use in the treatment of a wound or injury caused by a traumatic incident.

 

Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company was appointed by BMI as the exclusive distributor to promote, market, offer to sell, transfer, distribute and sell the Products for trauma indications inside the United States and its territories for an initial five-year term, which term may be automatically renewed for successive two-year periods at the Company’s discretion, provided that the Company is in compliance with its obligations thereunder (the “Term”). From the Execution Date until October 13, 2025, the Company has an exclusive option to negotiate exclusive distribution rights for the Products in additional fields and/or additional territories on substantially the same terms as those set forth in the License Agreement.

 

 

The License Agreement requires that the Company pay BMI quarterly royalties (the “Quarterly Royalties”) based on a percentage of the Net Sales Value (as defined in the License Agreement) of the Products during the Term, with the applicable percentage of the Net Sales Value for OsStic being in the mid-single digit range. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company and BMI agreed to negotiate the applicable percentage of the Net Sales Value for ARC at a future date. The License Agreement also requires that the Company pay BMI minimum royalty payments being in the low to mid six figure range for the first, second and third years, respectively, following the receipt of first regulatory approval for the marketing and sale of a Product.

 

Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement

 

In connection with the License Agreement, on the Execution Date, the Company entered into a Share Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company, The Russell Revocable Living Trust, BMI and the existing shareholders of BMI, pursuant to which the Company agreed to contribute up to approximately €8.0 million to BMI through a series of capital contributions in exchange for an aggregate of 16,460 ordinary shares of BMI, constituting approximately 12.5% of the outstanding equity of BMI as of the Execution Date. The Company made an initial cash investment totaling approximately €3.0 million on the Execution Date, and the Company’s previously announced convertible loan to BMI was converted into €1.0 million of equity in BMI. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the remaining €4.0 million contribution is due upon the achievement of certain development, clinical and regulatory milestones (the “Milestones”).

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, so long as the Company holds a five percent ownership interest or greater in BMI, the Company is entitled to have one person appointed to BMI’s board of directors. The Company’s initial investment of approximately €4.0 million caused the Company to exceed the five percent ownership interest threshold in BMI, and as a result the Company’s Chief Corporate Development & Strategy Officer, Tyler Palmer, has been nominated and appointed to BMI’s board of directors. In addition, the Company has the right to send one non-voting observer to attend meetings of the BMI board of directors, regardless of the Company’s ownership interest level. The Company’s capital contributions must be used to fund the development and commercialization of the Products, and the Company has certain veto and consent rights to further protect the Company’s investment in BMI and to support its ability to successfully market and sell the Products.

 

CRG Term Loan Amendment

 

On [March 19, 2025], the Company and the Guarantors entered into the First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement with the Agent and the lenders party thereto from time to time, which amended the CRG Term Loan Agreement to, among other things, (i) entitle the Company to two additional borrowings following the Second Borrowing, which borrowings must occur on or prior to December 31, 2025, if at all, and (ii) remove the requirement that any borrowing be in whole multiples of $5.0 million.
