Management Control Acquisition Agreement — On June 12, 2017, the Company entered into a Management Control Acquisition Agreement (the “MCAA”) with Telcon Holdings, Inc. (“Telcon Holdings”), a Korean corporation, and Telcon RF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Telcon Inc.), (“Telcon”), a Korean-based public company whose shares are listed on KOSDAQ, a trading board of Korea Exchange in South Korea. In accordance with the MCAA, the Company invested approximately $31.8 million to purchase 6,643,559 shares of Telcon common stock at a purchase price of approximately $4.79 per share. 

The MCAA was amended in certain respect and supplemented by an Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2017, among the parties. Pursuant to the September 2017 Agreement, among other things, Telcon purchased 4,444,445 shares of Company common stock from KPM Tech Co., Ltd and Hanil Vacuum Co., Ltd. at a price of $6.60 per share.

 

On July 2, 2018, the Company entered into an Additional Agreement with Evercore Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (formerly Telcon Holdings Co., Ltd.), (“Evercore”), and Telcon. In the Additional Agreement, the Company agreed to use the proceeds from the sales of its KPM shares to repurchase shares of Company common stock from Telcon at a price of $7.60 a share, subject to certain exceptions, and Telcon granted the Company the right to purchase from Telcon all or a portion of its shares of the Company at a price of $7.60 a share until October 31, 2018 and at a price to be agreed upon after October 31, 2018. The Company repurchased 495,000 shares of the Company common stock from Telcon at a price of $7.60 a share in 2018.

 

API Supply Agreement — On June 12, 2017, the Company entered into an API Supply Agreement (the “API Agreement”) with Telcon pursuant to which Telcon paid the Company approximately $31.8 million in consideration of the right to supply 25% of the Company’s requirements for bulk containers of PGLG for a fifteen-year term. The amount was recorded as deferred trade discount. On July 12, 2017, the Company entered into a raw material supply agreement with Telcon which revised certain terms of the API supply agreement (the “revised API agreement”). The revised API agreement is effective for a term of five years and will renew automatically for 10 successive one-year renewal periods, except as either party may determine. In the revised API agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase a total of 940,000 kilograms of PGLG at $50 USD per kilogram, or a total of $47.0 million, over the term of the agreement. In September 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Ajinomoto and Telcon to facilitate Telcon’s purchase of PGLG from Ajinomoto for resale to the Company under the revised API agreement.

 

On June 16, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Telcon to adjust the price payable to Telcon under the revised API agreement from $50 per kilogram of PGLG to $100 per kilogram from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, with the price payable after June 30, 2020 to be subject to agreement between the parties. The PGLG raw material purchased from Telcon is recorded in inventory at net realizable value and the excess purchase price is recorded against deferred trade discount.
