On July 9, 2019, Hedgepath, LLC (“HPLLC”), a significant minority stockholder of the Company, filed a civil action in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court”) captionedHedgepath, LLC v. Magrab, et al., C.A. No. 2019-0529-JTL (the “Action”) against certain of the Company’s current and former directors, and its President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Individual Defendants”), as well as the Company’s majority stockholder, Mayne Pharma Ventures Pty Ltd. (“Mayne Pharma”, and collectively with the Individual Defendants, the “Defendants”). The Company was named as a nominal defendant given the derivative nature of the claims. On December 3, 2019, HPLLC filed its Verified Amended and Supplemental Complaint (the “Complaint”). As previously disclosed in further detail by the Company, the Complaint asserts various claims, either directly on behalf of HPLLC or derivatively on behalf of the Company, for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, violation of Delaware statute, waste, fraudulent misrepresentation, declaratory judgment, and dilution of stockholder equity arising out of transactions previously entered into between the Company and Mayne Pharma and Mayne Pharma’s relationship with the Company generally. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief. Additionally, on March 23, 2020, a Stockholder Class Action Complaint was filed in the Court by Company stockholder and purported class representative Samuel P. Sears purportedly on behalf of a class of certain holders of the Company’s common stock. That lawsuit, captionedSears v. Magrab et al., C.A. No. 2020-0215-JTL (the “Putative Class Action”), asserts claims against the same Defendants (with the exception of the Company), and the facts underlying the claims largely mirror those alleged in the Action. On December 10, 2020, the Court entered a stipulated Order coordinating the Action and the Putative Class Action (together, the “Coordinated Actions”).
On September 9, 2022, HPLLC, Sears, the Company, the Individual Defendants and Mayne Pharma entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release, dated and filed with the Court (together with the exhibits thereto, the “Settlement Agreement”), which the Court approved, and the Settlement Agreement went into effect on December 13, 2022 (the “Effective Date”).
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, (i) the Defendants caused $14,250,000 in cash (to be funded via Mayne Pharma’s director and officer insurance) to be paid to the Company (the “Cash Consideration”); (ii) Mayne Pharma surrendered all equity securities in the Company for cancellation, and will forgive certain debts it is owed by the Company; (iii) stock options and warrants held by the Individual Defendants were cancelled; (iv) certain intellectual property licenses to and from the Company, on one hand, and Mayne Pharma, on the other, were converted or terminated, with only certain obligations remaining in place; (v) each of the Individual Defendants retired from their positions with the Company, including as members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management; (vi) the previously-disclosed Third Amended and Restated Supply and License Agreement, dated December 17, 2018, between the Company and Mayne was cancelled, with the Company retaining a royalty on future net sales of SUBA-Itraconazole BCCNS in the United States subject to certain contingent payment obligations; and (vii) various releases were exchanged among the parties to the Coordinated Actions. After the Effective Date, Mayne Pharma has also agreed it will remain amenable to discussing with the Company, in good faith, the potential licensing and/or sub-licensing of the JHU Patents (as defined in the Settlement Agreement), for a commercially reasonable licensing fee, to the extent the Company seeks to engage in such discussions and that it will not take the position that the Company or persons affiliated with the Company, including Dr. Francis E. O’Donnell, Jr., are prohibited from developing or commercializing Non-SUBA Formulations of Itraconazole for any cancer or non-cancer indications. Nor shall Mayne Pharma take any action intended to restrict or limit the Company’s ability or efforts to develop or commercialize Non-SUBA Formulations of Itraconazole for any cancer or non-cancer indications.
Upon approval by the Court, the Coordinate Actions were deemed fully resolved and all asserted claims were dismissed with prejudice on the Effective Date.
