Current Report
September 23, 2004
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 8, 2004, the Registrant issued a press release, filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, announcing the execution of a definitive agreement ("Agreement") with The Perigene Company for the exclusive worldwide right to license and market the gem-Difluoro platform technology (“GDPT”). The transaction related to the Agreement closed on September 19, 2004.
The GDPT will be used in Registrant’s research with Anti-Freeze-Glyco Proteins (“AFGP”), and will be further developed and incorporated into Registrant’s products. The licensed AFGP technology has been shown to produce a stable AFGP that is able to prevent ice crystals from forming in cells at temperatures below freezing. As such, the Registrant believes that the licensed AFGP technology may give the Registrant the ability to produce a variety of AFGPs that can be tailored to meet specific needs.
As of the date of this filing, the Registrant (1) has no customers for an AFGP molecule, and (2) has not sold any products containing the AFGP molecule.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
