Related Party Loan Agreement with Talem Medical Group Limited

 

On November 17, 2021, Aptorum Therapeutics Limited (the “Lender”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Talem Medical Group Limited (“Talem” or the “Borrower”). According to the Loan Agreement, the Lender will grant a loan of up to AUD4,700,000 for the Borrower for general working capital purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries. The loan is interest-bearing and secured by the entire issued shares of Talem Medical Group (Australia) Pty Limited held by the Borrower. We consider this loan to be a related party transaction as certain insiders, including Ian Huen, our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director and Director of the Lender; Dr. Clark Cheng, our Chief Medical Officer, Executive Director and Director of the Lender; Darren Lui, our President, Executive Director and Director of the Lender; Professor Justin Wu, our Independent Non-Executive Director; and Dr. Thomas Lee, our Head of Research and Development and Director of the Lender have direct and indirect minority interests in the Borrower. The Loan Agreement was reviewed and approved by the Company’s audit committee prior to being submitted to the Company’s full Board of Directors for approval.
