On June 30, 2016, Alliqua BioMedical, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BSN medical, Inc. (“BSN”), pursuant to which the Company sold to BSN all of the Company’s rights under its existing distribution agreement with former Sorbion GmbH & Co KG (“Sorbion”), dated as of September 20, 2013, as subsequently amended and assigned to BSN (the “Distribution Agreement”), including but not limited to all distribution rights, exclusivity rights, intellectual property rights and marketing rights (collectively, the “Rights’) and the Company’s remaining unsold inventory of Sorbion products purchased under the Distribution Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, in exchange for the sale of the Rights and unsold products, BSN agreed to pay the Company aggregate consideration of up to $4,400,000, including (i) $3,500,000 payable immediately upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) up to an additional $900,000 upon the Company’s completion of its obligations to deliver all remaining and qualifying unsold products in accordance with the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The closing of the sale and purchase of the Rights and unsold products occurred concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, effective upon the closing, the Company and BSN agreed to cancel and terminate the Distribution Agreement and certain related agreements between the parties or their predecessors, including Sorbion. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company is subject to certain confidentiality obligations with respect to confidential information that it received from BSN or Sorbion during the term of the Distribution Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties as well as mutual indemnification obligations for the Company and BSN.

The Company expects to use approximately $1.8 million of the proceeds from this sale transaction to prepay a portion of the outstanding principal amount of its loan and the related early prepayment fee in accordance with the terms and provisions of that certain Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of May 29, 2015, by and among the Company, certain guarantors and Perceptive Credit Holdings, LP.

Transition Agreement

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on June 30, 2016, the Company also entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with BSN, pursuant to which the parties defined certain transition-related services to be provided by the Company to assist BSN with certain services, including the transfer of the Company’s distribution operations relating to the Sorbion products during the term of the Transition Agreement. The term of the Transition Agreement ends on the earlier of September 28, 2016 and the date that BSN instructs the Company to discontinue all services, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon completion of the term, BSN will pay the Company a fixed fee of $100,000 as compensation for services provided pursuant to the Transition Agreement.
