Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreements.
Third Amendment to Integrated License Agreement
In the course of the preparation of Bakhu's financial statements to be audited
for inclusion in Bakhu's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended
July 30, 2021 (the "Form 10-K"), Bakhu determined that with the achievement of
efficacy on July 12, 2021, the amount of the offset against the $3.5 million
(the "One-Time Payment") needed to be determined to arrive at the net amount of
the One-time Payment Note payable by Bakhu to the Licensor. In undertaking to
review and ascertain the offset against the One-time Payment Note, Bakhu and
Cell Science were unable to agree on the nature and amount of the expense
advances to Cell Science representatives to the Science Team, as defined in the
Integrated License Agreement, to be offset against the principal amount of the
One-time Payment Note.
On January 31, 2022 Bakhu and Cell Science reached a mutual resolution and
entered into a Third Amendment to the Integrated License Agreement1 (the
"January 2022 Amendment").
In general, the January 2022 Amendment provided that:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 The Integrated License Agreement consists of that certain Patent and
Technology License Agreement, dated December 20, 2018, which on December 31,
2019, was restated in its entirety by the Amended and Restated Patent and
Technology License Agreement (the "Restated License"). The Restated License
Agreement was amended by that certain Amendment to the Amended and Restated
Patent and Technology License Agreement entered into as of September 22, 2020
(the "September 2020 Amendment"), further amended by that certain First
Amendment of the Amendment to the Amended and Restated Patent and Technology
License Agreement entered into as of February 8, 2021 (the "First Amendment"),
and further amended by that certain Second Amendment of the Amendment to the
Amended and Restated Patent and Technology License Agreement entered into as of
July 12, 2021 (the "Second Amendment").
