Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 13, 2016, we entered into an operating agreement to form a pain management joint venture company with Advanced Technologies Solutions (ATS), a company based in San Diego, California and owned by Ronald T. LaBorde, a member of our Board of Directors. The joint venture company, Premier Biomedical Pain Management Solutions, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (PBPMS), will develop and market natural and cannabis-based generalized, neuropathic, and localized pain relief treatment products. We own 50% of PBPMS and ATS owns the other 50%, with 89% of the profits allocated to us and the remaining 11% of profits allocated to ATS. As part of the agreement with ATS, Mr. LaBorde was appointed a member of our Board of Directors.
PBPMS must enter into separate license agreements with us and ATS for the use of technology previously developed by both companies. Intellectual property developed jointly by the parties will be the property of PBPMS. However, ATS and Mr. LaBorde may develop inventions and intellectual property independently from PBPMS, and such inventions and intellectual property will be the sole property of ATS or Mr. LaBorde. Pursuant to the terms of the PBPMS operating agreement, we will tender 1,250,000 warrants, for the purchase of an equal number of shares of our common stock at a strike price of $0.05, at the signing of a license agreement between ATS and PBPMS.
Our initial capital contribution to PBPMS is $25,000. ATS will contribute (i) technical, labor, manufacturing information and know-how required to produce the initial product, an extended duration topical pain relief patch; (ii) $5,000 worth of primary ingredients; and (iii) $5,000 worth of other materials to produce the initial prototype pain relief patches.
PBPMS will be managed by a board of managers (PBPMS Board). Initially, the PBPMS Board will consist of William A. Hartman, our President and Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors, Ronald T. LaBorde, the Founder of ATS and member of our Board of Directors, Dr. Patricio Reyes, our Chief Technology Officer and member of our Board of Directors, and John Borza, our Vice-President and member of our Board of Directors. Decisions of the PBPMS Board require unanimous approval.
The PBPMS operating agreement is subject to other common terms and ownership transfer restrictions, including a right of first refusal; however, we anticipate signing a more detailed and complete operating agreement to better clarify the terms of the joint venture as summarized above. A press release announcing the joint venture company is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.
