Item 1.01. Material Agreements
On September 16, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a license agreement (the “Agreement”) with ReJoy, Inc., a California corporation (“ReJoy”), pursuant to which ReJoy has granted the Company an exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable worldwide license to develop, manufacture, and sell prescription drugs using ReJoy technology (the “ReJoy IP”). In consideration for the license grant, the Company shall pay ReJoy five percent (5%) royalty on net sales of the Company’s products developed using the ReJoy IP (the “Products”). The Company has also committed to (i) holding a Pre-IND meeting with the Food and Drug Administration for the Products within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date; (ii) initiating an FDA-approved Phase 1 trial for the Products within twenty-four (24) months of the Pre-IND meeting; and (iii) initiating an FDA-approved Phase 2 trial for the Products within twenty-four (24) months of the Pre-IND meeting (the “Benchmarks”). Should the Company fail to meet any of the Benchmarks, ReJoy may terminate the Agreement immediately. The Agreement further provides the Company with a fifteen (15) day right of first refusal (“ROFR”) to purchase the ReJoy IP should Rejoy receive a bona fide offer to purchase such IP during the term of the Agreement. If the Company does not exercise its ROFR and ReJoy sells the ReJoy IP, the Agreement shall terminate automatically and ReJoy shall pay the Company 50% of that portion of the net proceeds from such transaction attributed to the value of the ReJoy IP for the Products.
The above is just a summary of the terms of the Agreement and is qualified by the actual Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference in its entirety.
