Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 18, 2022, Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a research agreement with the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona (the “University”). Pursuant to the research agreement, the University agreed to use reasonable efforts to perform a research project focused on determining the in vivo safety, pharmacokinetics, and dose selection properties of three University owned PLpro inhibitors, followed by efficacy testing in mice infected with SARS-CoV-2, in consideration for certain milestone payments to be made by the Company. Under the agreement, the University granted the Company a first option to negotiate for a commercial, royalty-bearing license for all intellectual property invented or authored by University personnel under the research project. The agreement will expire upon completion of the work specified therein, subject to the right of either party to terminate the agreement upon 90 days’ written notice, or the right of the Company to terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ written notice if the Company determines that the research results do not favorably support the development of a commercially viable drug.

 

The foregoing description of the research agreement is qualified by reference to the full text of the agreement which is filed as an exhibit to this report.
