Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 1, 2011, CorMedix Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), provided notice to Shiva Biomedical, LLC (“Shiva”), that the Company was exercising its right to terminate the Contribution Agreement, as amended, by and between Shiva and the Company (the “Contribution Agreement”). The Company had previously decided against further pursuing development of CRMD001 and has been in discussions with Shiva about renegotiating the Contribution Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Shiva granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide license for a patent estate covering proprietary formulations of deferiprone and a biomarker diagnostic test for measuring levels of labile iron (the “Shiva Technology”). The Shiva Technology serves as the basis for the Company’s CRMD001 and CRMD002 product candidates. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, the Company has the right to terminate the agreement for any reason upon 30 days prior written notice. Upon termination, the Company is obligated to reassign to Shiva all Company intellectual property rights with respect to the Shiva Technology.
