On October 19, 2017, the Company entered into a License and Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hunan Xing Hang Rui Kang Bio-technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (the “Licensee”) under which Misonix has licensed certain manufacturing and distribution rights to its SonaStar product line in China, Hong Kong and Macau (the “Territory”) in exchange for payments totaling at least $11,000,000.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, Licensee is obligated to pay the Company: (i) initial amounts consisting of upfront fees and stocking orders totaling $5,000,000, payable in five (5) equal monthly installments of $1,000,000 each; (ii) royalty payments from the sale of SonaStar products in the Territory, including minimum royalty payments of $2,000,000 per calendar year in each of 2019, 2020, and 2021; and (iii) reimbursement of technology transfer costs in an amount up to $1,000,000. The Agreement also provides that Misonix will supply SonaStar products to Licensee at agreed prices during the transition period prior to Licensee’s commencement of manufacturing.
