Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 7, 2008 Raptor Pharmaceuticals Corp.’s (the “Company”) wholly-owned subsidiary, Bennu Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Bennu”), entered into a contract (the “Contract”) with Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Patheon”) pursuant to which Patheon will provide a number of pharmaceutical development services (the “Services”), including, without limitation, analytical method development, microbiology validation, a protocol and report for pre-formulation, formulation development, manufacturing, and certain project support services, with respect to the formulation development of two strengths of Bennu’s proprietary oral formulation of 4-methylpyrazole (“4-MP”). 4-MP is intended to be used for the treatment of the symptoms of ALDH2 deficiency (an inherited disorder of the body’s ability to breakdown ethanol, commonly referred to as alcohol intolerance) in people who consume alcoholic beverages.

 

The current budget for the Contract is estimated to be between approximately $614,000 and $673,000. All intellectual property generated or derived by Patheon in the course of performing the Services, to the extent it is specific to the development, manufacture, use and/or sale of 4-MP, will be the exclusive property of Bennu. The Contract is terminable by Bennu at any time for any business reason. Apart from the Contract, Patheon has no material relationship with Bennu or the Company. The foregoing description of the Contract does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Contract which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s 10-QSB for the period ending February 29, 2008.
