June 23, 2020 - TheNewswire - Ronkonkoma, NY, USA - G6 Materials Corp (formerly Graphene 3D Lab) (the "Company" or "G6") (TSXV:GGG) (OTC:GPHBF) is pleased to announce that G6's wholly-owned subsidiary, Graphene Laboratories Inc. ("Graphene Laboratories" or "GL"), has entered into a License and Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with a US-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company (the "Partner").

As per the Agreement, Graphene Laboratories will receive a one time cash payment of US$220,000 from its Partner. In exchange, GL will grant the Partner an exclusive license to use the Intellectual Property ("IP") for a period of two years (the "License Period"). The Partner will also have an option to purchase the Company's IP rights for US$1,000,000 during the License Period. The US$220,000 cash payment will not apply toward the option price in the event G6's partner elects to execute its option to purchase.

G6 will pay a commission fee in the amount of 7.5% of the proceeds to the third party consultant facilitated this transaction as per prior contractual obligation. Also, G6 is contractually obligated to split the profit pursuant to the Agreement of this transaction in half with the inventor.

The IP pertains to patent US10,472,313, the "Process for synthesis of trifluoroketones" that was granted to G6 last year (see press release October 29, 2019). The Company's patent covers an efficient process for producing trifluoroketones (TFK), which is a building block for the drug being developed by G6's Partner. The process, described in the patent offers an efficient, inexpensive way to make industrial quantities of TFK, which if compared with an alternative process, is free from unwanted and potentially toxic byproducts. The drug is designed to treat certain pulmonary conditions including Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

Daniel Stolyarov, CEO of G6, stated: "We are happy and proud that our technology will be used in the development process for a potential medicine that could have an impact for people dealing with serious respiratory issues. This agreement structure helps deliver cost certainties for our Partner and allocates more resources into further testing, process improvements and ultimately the potential development of an effective drug. For G6, this Agreement marks another milestone for us, as we continue to strive to unlock value from our IP portfolio."

The Company has licensed the IP in the past and helped to establish industrial-scale production of the TFK, in frames of Technology Transfer Agreement as described in the press releases published on March 28, 2018 and on February 21, 2019.
