Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Registrant, through its wholly owned subsidiary UDC Ireland, Limited (UDI), granted to LG Display license rights under various patents owned or controlled by the Registrant for LG Display to manufacture and sell certain small area and large area OLED display products. In consideration of the license grant, LG Display agreed to pay UDI upfront license fees and running royalties based on LG Display’s revenues of Licensed Products over the term of the License Agreement, which is through December 31, 2022.
Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, the parties also agreed that LG Display shall purchase from the Registrant, and the Registrant shall supply to LG Display, OLED materials for LG Display’s use in the manufacture of royalty bearing Licensed Products.
