Item 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 26, 2021, we entered into an Exclusive Supply and Distribution Agreement with EMC Pharma, LLC ("EMC"). The Agreement gave EMC the exclusive right to sell and distribute our prescription dermatological and eye care products based on our Microcyn® technology in the United States.
Pursuant to the Agreement, EMC was required to purchase certain minimum product quantities and pay a quarterly royalty to retain the exclusive rights. The agreement had a five-year initial term, subject to mutual extension. Because EMC did not purchase the minimum product quantities required, following a 30-day cure period we exercised our right to terminate the Agreement, effective November 21, 2024. We did not incur any penalties in connection with the termination.
Upon termination of the Agreement, Sonoma will resume selling each of its prescription dermatological and eye care products in the United States, including Acuicyn®, Celacyn®, Epicyn®, Lasercyn®, and Levicyn®.
