Item 8.01 Other Events
On May 29, 2019 (the Execution Date), Biomerica executed an exclusive distribution agreement with MaxHealth International Ltd. and MaxHealth Medical Co. Ltd. (together Maxhealth), for the sale of Biomericas EZ Detect product in China. In the Agreement, MaxHealth was given an option to purchase 500,000 shares of Biomerica common shares for a period of 90 days following the Execution Date (the Option Period) at a purchase price of either a) $4.66 per share if during the Option Period Biomerica in a separate private transaction sells $1,000,000 of shares at a price greater than $4.66 per share, or b) 25% above the average public trading price of Biomericas common stock during the 10 business days preceding the MaxHealths exercise of the option and purchase of the shares. The shares must be purchased in a single transaction and must be prepaid prior to issuance.
At the request of MaxHealth, Biomerica has executed an amendment to the Agreement that extends the Option Period to 180 days following the Execution Date. All other terms of the option and Agreement remain the same.
Also pertaining to this Agreement, the Company shipped an initial prepaid order of EZ Detect product to MaxHealth on August 30, 2019. Once this initial order clears customs in China, the Agreement requires MaxHealth to prepay an additional amount of $900,000 for future orders of the EZ Detect product.
