Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 14, 2017, Jaguar Health, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its entry into a collaboration agreement (the “Agreement”) with Seed Mena Businessmen Services LLC (“SEED”) for Equilevia™, the Company’s non-prescription, personalized, premium product for total gut health in equine athletes. Based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”), SEED is affiliated with Seed Group, a diversified group of companies under the umbrella of The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum establishing strategic partnerships with multinational companies from around the globe in an aim to leverage Seed Group’s network to support potential business expansion in the MENA region.

 

According to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will pay SEED 15% of total revenue generated from any clients or partners introduced to the Company by SEED (in the form of fees, commissions, payments or revenue received by the Company or its business associates or partners), and the agreed-upon revenue percentage increases to 20% after the first million dollars of revenue (collectively, the “Revenue Sharing Payments”).  In return, SEED will provide the Company access to its existing UAE network and contacts and assist the Company with any legal or financial requirements.

 

The Agreement became effective on December 13, 2017 and will continue indefinitely until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.  The Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the other party.  The Agreement may also be terminated by either party (i) for the other party’s material breach of the Agreement, (ii) to the extent that any representation or warranty given by the other party is found to be untrue, or (iii) upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of the other party.  Upon termination for any reason, the Company remains obligated to make Revenue Sharing Payments to SEED until the end of 2018.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
