The University of Florida Research Foundation Licenses

UFRF-MU1140 License. In the Company’s UFRF amended license agreement for MU1140, the Company is obligated to pay 5% of the selling price of any products developed from the UFRF licensed technology that the Company may sell as royalty to the UFRF. In addition, if the Company sublicenses any rights granted by the amended license agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to the UFRF 22% of all revenues received from the sublicenses, excluding monies received solely for development costs. The Company is also obligated to make the following payments to UFRF as follows: a one-time commercialization fee, post-commercialization minimum royalty payments, and a one-time cumulative royalty payment. The one-time commercialization fee would be due on the first anniversary of first commercial sale and is calculated at $5,000 per month between (1) April 1, 2013 for the MU1140 license agreement and (2) the month of the first anniversary of a commercial sale. The post-commercialization minimum royalty payments of $50,000 annually would be due following payment of a commercialization fee. The one-time additional royalty payment would be due when total cumulative royalties paid to UFRF exceed $2.0 million, upon which we would be obligated to make a one-time additional payment to UFRF of 10% of the total royalties due to UFRF in the calendar year in which cumulative royalties exceeded $2.0 million.

The Company is required to make minimum annual maintenance payments to the UFRF for the term of the amended license agreement in the amount of $10,000 for the license agreement. The aggregate minimum annual payments are required to be paid in advance on a quarterly basis (i.e. $2,500 per quarter) for the license. The Company must also pay all patent costs and expenses incurred by the UFRF for the preparation, filing, prosecution, issuance and maintenance of the patents.

The terms of the UFRF amended license agreement expire upon the earlier of (i) the date that no patents covered by the amended license agreement remain enforceable or (ii) the payment of earned royalties under the amended license agreement, once begun, ceases for more than three calendar quarters. The Company may voluntarily terminate the license agreement upon 90 days written notice to UFRF. UFRF may terminate the amended license agreement if the Company breaches its obligations to timely pay any amounts due under the amended license agreement, to submit development reports as required under the amended license agreement or commit any other breach of any other covenants contained in the amended license agreement and the Company fails to remedy such breach within 90 days after written notice of such breach by UFRF.

 

The patent the Company had previously exclusively licensed from UFRF for its Replacement Therapy expired in June 2015 and the resulting license was terminated. The Company is evaluating its options with respect to the SMaRT Replacement Therapy technology.

Texas A&M License Agreement

Under the terms of the Texas A&M license agreement, the Company made an initial payment of five thousand dollars ($5,000) to Texas A&M. The Company must also pay to Texas A&M a royalty of five percent (5%) of net sales of products that include the licensed technology, subject to royalty stacking provisions with a two percent (2%) minimum royalty. Additionally, in order to maintain the exclusive license, commencing in 2014 and each year thereafter prior to the calendar year of the first sale of products using the licensed technology, the Company must pay Texas A&M $15,000 as minimum consideration for the continuation of the license agreement. Once the Company commences the sale of products that include the technology the Company licenses from Texas A&M the Company must pay a minimum annual amount of $100,000 to Texas A&M and every year thereafter through the expiration of the Agreement. However, once sales begin, any royalty payments the Company makes on net sales will be credited against the $100,000 required maintenance payment.

The Company must also pay all patent costs and expenses for the preparation, filing, prosecution, issuance and maintenance of the patent rights. Sales by sublicensees are subject to the royalty rate above, and the Company is responsible for certain payments to Texas A&M for any other consideration received that are not in the form of a royalty.

Pursuant to the Texas A&M license agreement, the Company is obligated to meet the following milestones and make milestone payments: (i) enrollment of first patient in a Phase 1 clinical trial using the licensed technology, to occur on or before June 1, 2016, with a milestone achievement payment of $50,000, (ii) completion of Phase 2 clinical trial using the licensed technology to occur on or before June 1, 2019, with a milestone achievement payment of $100,000, (iii) completion of Phase 3 clinical trial of the licensed technology to occur on or before June 1, 2022, with a milestone achievement payment of $150,000, and (iv) first sale of the licensed technology to occur on or before June 1, 2025 with a milestone achievement payment of $400,000. If we fail to accomplish the milestones or fail to achieve net sales of products including the licensed technology for two consecutive calendar years Texas A&M at its sole option may waive the requirement, negotiate the missed milestones or terminate the license agreement. None of the Texas A&M milestones had been achieved as of June 30, 2016. The Company has not achieved the first enrollment of a patient milestone referred to above and plans to seek an extension from Texas A&M.

The Lantibiotic ECC

Under the Lantibiotic ECC, and subject to certain exceptions, the Company is responsible for, among other things, funding the further anticipated development of lantibiotics toward the goal of commercialization, conducting nonclinical and clinical development of candidate lantibiotics, as well as for other aspects of manufacturing and the commercialization of the product(s). Among other things, Intrexon is responsible for technology discovery efforts, cell-engineering development, certain aspects of the manufacturing process, and costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of Intrexon’s patents.

Subject to certain expense allocations and other offsets provided in the Lantibiotic ECC, the Company will pay Intrexon on a quarterly basis 25% of gross quarterly profits derived in that quarter from the sale of products developed from the Lantibiotic ECC, calculated on an Oragenics Product-by-Oragenics Product basis. The Company has likewise agreed to pay Intrexon on a quarterly basis 50% of revenue obtained in that quarter from a sublicensor in the event of a sublicensing arrangement.

In addition, in partial consideration for each party’s execution and delivery of the Lantibiotic ECC, the Company entered into a Stock Issuance Agreement with Intrexon. Pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement, the Company issued to Intrexon 4,392,425 shares of the Company’s common stock as an initial technology access fee, in consideration for the execution and delivery of the Lantibiotic ECC and granted Intrexon certain equity participation rights and registration rights. Under the Stock Issuance Agreement and as part of the Lantibiotic ECC, the Company has also agreed to make certain payments to Intrexon upon the Company’s achievement of designated milestones in the form of shares of Company common stock or, at the Company’s option, make a cash payment to Intrexon (based upon the fair market value of the shares otherwise required to be issued). The milestone events and amounts payable are as follows:

 

(i)

upon filing of the first Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for an Oragenics Product, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of common stock comprising 1.0% of the Base Shares (as defined below);

 

(ii)

upon the dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 2 clinical study with an Oragenics Product, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of common stock comprising 1.5% of the Base Shares;

 

(iii)

upon the dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 3 clinical study with an Oragenics Product, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of common stock comprising 2% of the Base Shares;

 

(iv)

upon the filing of the first New Drug Application (“NDA”) or Biologics License Application (“BLA”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for an Oragenics Product, or alternatively the filing of the first equivalent regulatory filing with a foreign regulatory agency, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 2.5% of the Base Shares; and

 

(v)

upon the granting of the first regulatory approval of an Oragenics Product, that number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 3% of the Base Shares.

Base Shares is defined in the Stock Issuance Agreement to mean (i) the number of shares of Company common stock together with any securities or instruments convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock issued and outstanding at the time of the applicable milestone event, (ii) minus any shares issuable upon conversion of Capital Inducement Securities. Capital Inducement Securities is defined in the Stock Issuance Agreement to mean warrants or other convertible securities of the Company issued to investors in connection with a debt or equity investment in the Company that are issued in addition to the primary investment securities and in an amount not to exceed 10% of the overall number of shares issued in the investment (on an as-converted to common stock basis).

None of the Lantibiotic ECC milestones had been achieved as of June 30, 2016.

The Oral Mucositis ECC

Under the ECC, and subject to certain exceptions, the Company is responsible for, among other things, funding the further anticipated development of products toward the goal of commercialization, conducting preclinical and clinical development of candidate products, as well as for other aspects of manufacturing and the commercialization of the product(s). Among other things, Intrexon is responsible for technology discovery efforts, cell-engineering development, and certain aspects of the manufacturing process.

The Company will pay Intrexon on a quarterly basis 12% of the net sales derived from the sale of products developed from the exclusive channel collaboration. The Company has likewise agreed to pay Intrexon on a quarterly basis 50% of revenue obtained in that quarter from a sublicensor in the event of a sublicensing arrangement.

The Company has also agreed to make certain payments to Intrexon upon the Company’s achievement of designated milestones in the form of shares of Company Common Stock (based upon the fair market value of the shares otherwise required to be issued) unless the issuance of such shares would reasonably likely cause Intrexon to consolidate the Company’s financial statements with Intrexon’s financial statements, or at the Company’s option make a cash payment to Intrexon. The Commercialization Milestone Events and amounts payable are as follows:

 

(i)

two million United States dollars ($2,000,000) within thirty (30) days of the first instance of the achievement of the Phase 2 Milestone Event meaning the first dosing of a patient by or on behalf of Oragenics, or an Affiliate or permitted sublicensee of Oragenics, in a Phase 2 clinical trial, whether such occurs in the United States of America under the jurisdiction of the FDA or elsewhere under the jurisdiction of a foreign regulatory agency, for each different Oragenics Product;

 

(ii)

five million United States dollars ($5,000,000) within thirty (30) days of the first instance of the achievement of the Phase 2b/3 Milestone Event meaning meeting of the primary endpoint by or on behalf of Oragenics, or an Affiliate or permitted sublicensee of Oragenics, in a Phase 3 clinical trial, whether such occurs in the United States of America under the jurisdiction of the FDA or elsewhere under the jurisdiction of a foreign regulatory agency, for each different Oragenics Product;

(iv)

ten million United States dollars ($10,000,000) within thirty (30) days of the first instance of the achievement of the Approval Milestone Event for each different Oragenics Product which Approval Milestone Event meaning the first to occur of (a) the First Commercial Sale of an Oragenics Product anywhere in the Territory, or (b) 90th day after the approval of a FDA New Drug Application for an Oragenics Product by the FDA or equivalent regulatory action in a foreign jurisdiction;

 

(v)

Oragenics shall pay Intrexon a milestone payment of five million United States dollars ($5,000,000) within thirty (30) days of the first instance of the achievement of the New Indication Milestone Event meaning the filing by or on behalf of Oragenics, an Affiliate of Oragenics, or a permitted sublicensee of Oragenics a Supplemental FDA Application with the FDA or with another equivalent regulatory agency seeking approval of an indication for use of the product AG013 other than the current regulatory-approved indication; and

None of the Oral Mucositis ECC milestones had been achieved as of June 30, 2016.

The Oral Mucositis ECC provides that in the event (i) Oragenics is required to make a milestone payment in cash as an issuance of shares would cause Intrexon to consolidate the Company’s financial statements with Intrexon’s financial statements, and (ii) Oragenics reasonably concludes that a cash milestone payment would have an adverse effect on its working capital needs over the next twelve (12) months, then such cash payment shall be in the form of an interest bearing promissory note with a maturity date of less than twelve (12) months and include other conventional market terms that would not be expected to unreasonably have an adverse effect on Oragenics working capital needs over such twelve (12) month period.
