On July 30, 2018, Reva Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to that certain Exclusive License Agreement Number 2, dated July 1, 2010, by and between Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and the Company (the “Amendment”) related to the composition and coating of the Company’s bioresorbable scaffolds and its other biomaterial products. The Amendment eliminated all minimum annual royalties, which prior to the Amendment could have eventually exceeded $2 million per year and the royalty rate for all products utilizing the licensed technology remains under five percent. Upon a change in control, the royalty rate will be reduced as certain revenue goals are attained. Additionally, under the terms of the Amendment, future milestone payments, payments due upon a sublicense of the Company’s technology and extension fees applicable to other indications have all been eliminated. The accrual of $500,000 for extension fees as of June 30, 2018 will be reversed in the third quarter of 2018. The change of control payment has been increased to $7.85 million plus 1% of the amount by which the purchase price to be paid at closing, net of debt repayment to creditors, exceeds $500 million. The change of control payment will not exceed $10 million.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report, with portions omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
