Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 15, 2019, Marizyme, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Somahlution, LLC, Somahlution, Inc. and Somaceutica, LLC, companies duly organized under the laws of Florida (collectively, “Somah”). Somah is engaged in developing products to prevent ischemic injury to organs and tissues and itsproducts (the “SomahProducts”) include DuraGraft, aone-time intraoperative vascular graft treatment for use in vascular and bypass surgeries that maintains endothelial function and structure, and other related properties. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase (the “Acquisition”) all of the assets of Somah, including all of the intellectual property relating to the Somah Products. Under the Agreement, the Company will not acquire any of the liabilities of Somah. As consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has agreed to issue to Somah’s equity owners (the “Somah Designees”) 10 million restricted shares of Company common stock and five-year warrants to purchase an additional three million restricted shares of Marizyme common stock with an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The Company has also agreed to pay the Somah Designees royalties and issue additional warrants to them based on future sales, or FDA approval, of certain Somah Products. The Somah Designees will receive a liquidation preference on payouts relating to future Company sales of Somah related assets. Somah will also be entitled to appoint two members to the Company’s board of directors. As a condition to the closing of the Acquisition, in addition to satisfactory due diligence by each party to the Agreement, the Company will be required to raise at least $10 million in funding to be used as working capital to develop the Somah Products post-closing. The Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the closing by mutual consent of the Company and Somah or by February 28, 2020, if the Company has not raised the required capital by that date.
The above discussion is only a partial description of the terms of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto for review, as Exhibit 10.1.
