On July 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Sales Promotion and Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with MSD International GmbH (“MSD”) and Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. (“Supplier”), each a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA. Under the Distribution Agreement, upon satisfaction of certain specified conditions, MSD appointed the Company as its sole and exclusive distributor of certain products containing tedizolid phosphate as the active ingredient (marketed and sold by Supplier and MSD prior to the effective date of the Distribution Agreement under the trademark SIVEXTRO®) for injection, intravenous use and oral use (the “Products”) in final packaged form labeled with the Company’s National Drug Code numbers in the United States and its territories (the “Territory”). SIVEXTRO is an oxazolidinone-class antibacterial indicated in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections caused by certain susceptible Gram-positive microorganisms. Under the Distribution Agreement and subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the Company having engaged sufficient sales representatives, restrictions relating to travel and physician office access in the Territory due to COVID-19 having continued to decrease in a sufficient portion of the Territory so as not to hinder the successful detailing of SIVEXTRO, the Company is granted the right by MSD initially to promote the Products in the Territory and, upon satisfaction of additional conditions, including an increase in sales representatives, the right to exclusively distribute the Products in the Territory, including the sole right and responsibility to fill orders with respect to the Products in the Territory. Subject to applicable law, the Company is entitled to determine the final

selling prices of the Products charged by the Company to its customers at its sole discretion, subject to an overall annual limit on price increases, and will be solely responsible for sales contracting and all market access activities, including bidding, hospital listing and reimbursement. The Company is responsible for all costs related to the promotion, sale and distribution of the Products by the Company, as well as all costs required to meet the Company’s staffing obligations under the Distribution Agreement. The Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to promote and distribute the Products and to maximize the sales of the Products throughout the Territory. The Company has agreed to employ a sales force or retain the services of a contract sales organization to fulfill its obligations under the Distribution Agreement. The Company also secured a virtual and in-person community-based sales effort with Amplity Health who is a Contract Sales Organization, however the Company has not determined when it would begin utilizing such a community-based sales effort, as it is currently unknown how long the operational restrictions related to COVID-19 will remain in effect.
