ITEM 1.01ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

 

On July 31, 2018, Phibro Animal Health Corporation (the “Company”), MJ Biologics, Inc. (“MJB”) and, for certain limited purposes described therein, William Marks, entered into the First Amendment to the Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends that certain Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of January 20, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and among the Company and MJB. The Purchase Agreement contemplates the Company acquiring the intellectual property and certain other assets comprising MJB’s business relating to the development, manufacture, commercialization and distribution of animal vaccines on or before January 1, 2021, subject to certain closing conditions (the “Scheduled Closing Date”). The Company previously made an initial payment to MJB of $5,000,000 and agreed to pay MJB a “Closing Payment,” subject to offset in certain limited circumstances, of not less than $10,000,000. The Amendment, among other things, amends the Scheduled Closing Date to July 31, 2018. In addition, the parties have agreed in the Amendment to a Closing Payment of $12,775,000, subject to offset in certain limited circumstances, a portion of which was paid in cash in a lump sum at closing, a portion of which was placed into escrow for a two year period to pay certain indemnification claims that may be made by Company, and the remainder of which was paid in the form of a Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) issued by the Company in favor of MJB, for an original principal amount of $3,775,000, subject to offset in certain limited circumstances. The Promissory Note bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 300 basis points and shall mature on January 4, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The entire unpaid principal amount of the Promissory Note, together with all outstanding and unpaid interest under the Promissory Note, will be due and payable by the Company on the Maturity Date. The Amendment also contemplates, as of the Scheduled Closing Date, the mutual limited release, subject to certain specified exceptions, of certain amounts due under, and obligations relating to, the Purchase Agreement, as amended, and the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) now or in the future.

 

The foregoing is a summary description of the material terms of the Amendment and does not purport to be complete, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit no later than with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018, with confidential terms redacted.
