Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement

 

On May 21, 2020, Urovant Sciences Ltd. (“we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”) entered into an Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement (the “Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement”) with Sumitovant Biopharma Ltd., our majority shareholder (“Sumitovant”). Pursuant to the Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement, among other things, we agreed deliver to Sumitovant drafts of (i) our quarterly and annual financial statements and (ii) the discussion and analysis by our management of the Company’s financial condition and the results of our operations for such fiscal periods, prior to the applicable deadlines for filing such information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  We also agreed to coordinate with Sumitovant before releasing earnings results or any interim financial guidance and to notify Sumitovant before issuing any other material press releases.

 

In addition, the Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement requires us to give Sumitovant’s auditors access to our auditors and our books and records to facilitate the completion of Sumitovant’s own internal audit and their review of the Company’s financial statements and internal accounting controls and operations.  We also agreed to provide Sumitovant any documents or materials relating to our business and access to our senior management to discuss any matters, in each case as Sumitovant may reasonably request.  To the extent we provide Sumitovant any information in response to such a request, Sumitovant may not (i) disclose such information to certain of its affiliates or (ii) use such information in a manner it deems, in good faith, to be detrimental to the Company or its shareholders.  In addition, both parties agreed to hold any information they receive from the other party in the strictest confidence, subject to customary exceptions for information that becomes public, that has been independently developed, or that is otherwise received on a non-confidential basis from a third party.

 

Moreover, the Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement provides that the Company must adopt and maintain policies to address its obligations with respect to financial reporting, audits, internal controls, record keeping, taxes, and other applicable laws.  In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) must have a compliance oversight committee (the “Compliance Committee”) that oversees a compliance program designed to ensure the Company complies with its obligations under applicable laws (the “Compliance Program”).  The Compliance Committee, in turn, is required to (i) appoint a member of our senior management to administer the Compliance Program and (ii) cause the implementation of internal reporting procedures and training to support the Compliance Program.  The Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement also requires the Company to comply in all material respects with applicable laws.

 

The foregoing description of the Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Information Sharing and Cooperation Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
