Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

NARCAN^® Nasal Spray Royalty Purchase

On December 13, 2016, SWK Funding LLC (“SWK Funding”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWK Holdings Corporation (the “Company”), purchased from Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Opiant”) a royalty stream paid on the net sales of NARCAN^® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray or any other product commercialized pursuant to that certain License Agreement between Opiant (formerly known as Lightlake Therapeutics, Inc.) and Adapt Pharma Operations Limited (“Adapt”), dated as of December 15, 2014, as amended, (the “Purchased Assets”) for up to $17.5 million. NARCAN^® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray (“NARCAN”) is the first and only FDA-approved nasal form of naloxone for the emergency treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose and is marketed in the U.S. and Canada by Adapt. SWK Funding funded $13,750,000 on December 14, 2016 and if Adapt has received in excess of $25,000,000 of cumulative Net Sales for any two consecutive fiscal quarters during the period from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017 from the sale of NARCAN (the “Earn Out Milestone”), SWK Funding will advance to Opiant an additional $3,750,000.

Under the terms of the agreement, SWK Funding will receive from the proceeds of the Purchased Assets up to (i) $20,625,000 or (ii) $26,250,000 if the Earn Out Milestone is achieved (the “Investment Return Cap”). After the Investment Return Cap has been achieved, SWK will continue to receive a percentage of the Narcan Royalty in perpetuity (the “Residual Royalty”). The Residual Royalty entitles SWK Funding to ten percent (10.0%) of the Narcan Royalty. If no generic version of Narcan is commercialized prior to the sixth anniversary of Closing, the Residual Royalty shall decrease to five percent (5.0%) at that time. The Residual Royalty will be pro-rated if the Earn Out Milestone is not achieved, whereby the Residual Royalty will be reduced by to 7.86% or 3.93% if no generic version is commercialized prior to the sixth anniversary of Closing.

Per the agreement, Opiant granted SWK Funding a security interest in the Purchased Assets in the event that the transfer contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is held not to be a sale. The Purchase Agreement also contains other representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations that are customary for a transaction of this nature.
