Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 1, 2020, EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Commercial Alliance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with ImprimisRx, LLC (“Imprimis”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harrow Health, Inc., pursuant to which the Company granted Imprimis the non-exclusive right to co-promote DEXYCU® (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9% for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery in the U.S.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will pay Imprimis a fee calculated based on the quarterly sales of DEXCYU in excess of predefined volumes to customers of Imprimis in the U.S. The co-promotion of DEXCYU in the U.S. will be supervised by a (i) a commercialization committee and (ii) a joint steering committee, each composed of an equal number of representatives from the Company and Imprimis. Under the terms of the Agreement, Imprimis shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promote and market DEXCYU in the U.S. Imprimis has also agreed to dedicate sales representatives, sub-agents and approved contractors to promote DEXCYU on a full time basis.
Subject to early termination, the Agreement expires on August 1, 2025. Subject to specified notice periods and specified limitations, either party may terminate the Agreement in the event of (i) uncured material breach by the other party or (ii) if DEXCYU ceases to have “pass-through” payment status. In addition, subject to certain limitations, Imprimis may terminate the Agreement (i) for convenience subject to an extended specified notice period or (ii) in the event the Company undergoes a change of control. The Company may terminate the Agreement, subject to specified notice periods and specified limitations, if Imprimis fails to achieve certain minimum sales levels during specified periods.
The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Agreement, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Agreement, which the Company expects to file as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2020.
