On March 2, 2021, the Company entered into a series of strategic transactions with Topcon Corporation (“Topcon”), Topcon America Corporation (the “Investor”) and Topcon Medical Laser Systems, Inc. (the “Seller”), pursuant to which (i) the Company and the Seller entered into an asset purchase agreement dated March 2, 2021, pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all the assets (except for cash and cash equivalents) of the Seller (the “Transferred Assets”) (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), (ii) Topcon and the Company entered into a distribution agreement dated March 2, 2021, pursuant to which the Company granted Topcon the exclusive right to distribute the Company’s retina and glaucoma products in certain geographies outside the United States (the “Distribution Agreement”), (iii) pursuant to an investment agreement dated March 2, 2021 (the “Investment Agreement”) the Investor acquired 1,618,122 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million (the “Shares”) and (iv) the Company and Investor entered into a registration rights agreement dated March 2, 2021 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with respect to the registration of the Shares for resale.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the transferred assets include substantially all of the Seller’s assets including the rights to the Seller’s PASCAL product (the “Transferred Assets”). The Company assumed only those liabilities arising after the closing in connection with the Transferred Assets. In the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Seller made certain customary representations and warranties and agreed to certain customary covenants. The Agreement provides that the Company and the Seller will each indemnify the other for losses arising from certain breaches of the Agreement and for certain other liabilities subject to customary caps and deductibles. The Company plans to offer employment to certain of the employees of the Seller and sublease the Seller’s current Livermore facility from Topcon. The Closing occurred on March 10, 2021.

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company appointed Topcon as the exclusive distributor of the Company’s glaucoma and retina products, including Seller’s PASCAL product, in certain countries outside of the United States. Topcon agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize the Company’s products in each region throughout the territory, including achieving certain sales baselines by product category and region. If Topcon fails to achieve the baselines in a region, the Company will have the right to, subject to payment of a fee, terminate Topcon’s appointment in such region. The Distribution Agreement and Topcon’s appointment will, unless terminated earlier, continue on a country-by-country basis for a period of ten (10) years from the date exclusivity is granted. The Distribution Agreement includes customary termination rights and effects of termination, including a termination for convenience right in favor of Topcon and, subject to payment of a fee, a termination right in favor of the Company upon a change of control of the Company. The net proceeds to the Company from the transactions reflected in the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Distribution Agreement are $9.5 million.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Shares are subject to a six-month lockup. In the six months following the purchase of the Shares, the Investor shall have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in subsequent issuances of Common Stock or equivalents by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement the Company has committed to register the Shares for resale within the same period of time and there are standard penalty provisions if the Company fails to register the Shares for resale within such period. The Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions.
