Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 23, 2024, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc.

The Subsidiary can terminate the Agreement with or without cause upon 30 days written notice to InClin. Either party can terminate the Agreement upon 30 days written notice to the other party in case of a breach, and the party fails to cure such breach within 30 days following the date of such notice. As consideration for its services, the Subsidiary will pay InClin a total amount of up to approximately $11.5 million that will be paid over the term of the engagement and based on the number of hours performed by InClin per month.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur for various reasons, including some reasons which are beyond the Company’s control. For example, this Report discusses our planned Phase 3 clinical trial activities for ORMD-0801. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the management of the Company only, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, including the risk that the Company may not be able to successfully implement its strategic plans; the risks and uncertainties related to the progress, timing, cost and results of current and future clinical trials and product development programs; difficulties or delays in obtaining regulatory approval or patent protection for the Company’s product candidates; competition from other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies; and the Company’s ability to obtain additional funding required to conduct its research, development and commercialization activities. In addition, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: changes in technology and market requirements; delays or obstacles in launching the Company’s clinical trials; changes in legislation; inability to timely develop and introduce new technologies, products and applications; lack of validation of the Company’s technology as it progresses further and lack of acceptance of its methods by the scientific community; inability to retain or attract key employees whose knowledge is essential to the development of the Company’s products; unforeseen scientific difficulties that may develop with its process; greater cost of final product than anticipated; loss of market share and pressure on pricing resulting from competition; laboratory results that do not translate to equally good results in real settings; the Company’s patents may not be sufficient; that products may harm recipients; and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other filings that the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the future. All of these factors and uncertainties could cause the actual results or performance of the Company to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements. For these reasons, among others, you should not place undue reliance upon the Company’s forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Report.

MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

This Master Services Agreement (this “Agreement”), entered into as of September 23, 2024, is by and between InClin, Inc., a California Corporation located at 155 Bovet Road, Ste 660, San Mateo CA 94402 (“CRO”) and Oramed Ltd. with offices located at 20 Mamilla Ave., 3rd Floor Jerusalem, Israel 9414904 (“Sponsor”). Sponsor has solicited the services of CRO, and the parties desire to establish the terms and conditions under which CRO shall perform services for Sponsor.

 

1.Services.

 

A.Under the terms and conditions set forth herein, CRO services covered by this Agreement may include strategic planning, expert consultation, clinical trial services, statistical programming and analysis, data processing, data management, regulatory, clerical, project management, medical writing and other research and development services requested by Sponsor and agreed to by CRO (“Services”) as will be provided in a Work Order signed by both Sponsor and CRO (a “Work Order”). Each Work Order will include a scope of work, budget and payment schedule (“Budget”) and may include other terms and conditions as agreed between the signatories to the Work Order. Each Work Order shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto and shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement. The parties agree that a Work Order shall be executed by both parties before CRO commences work under the Work Order unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. To the extent any terms set forth in a Work Order conflict with the terms set forth in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control unless otherwise specifically set forth in the Work Order. Sponsor shall forward to CRO in a timely manner all data and information in Sponsor’s possession or control necessary for CRO to conduct the Services as per the Work Order. CRO shall not be liable to Sponsor nor be deemed to have breached this Agreement for delays arising from Sponsor’s failure to provide documents, materials or information or to otherwise cooperate with CRO in order for CRO to timely perform its obligations.

 

B.Sponsor agrees that some or all of the Services to be performed by CRO under a Work Order may be performed by CRO’s affiliates; provided that such arrangements are expressly set out and agreed in the relevant Work Order. CRO shall ensure that all of its affiliates who perform any portion of the Services are subject to all applicable terms and conditions applicable to CRO under this Agreement or any Work Order, and are further entitled to all rights and protections afforded CRO under this Agreement. CRO’s affiliates may execute any Work Order directly with Sponsor, and such Work Order shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. CRO shall be responsible for the performance of all Services delegated by CRO to its affiliates, including the performance of obligations by its affiliates under a Work Order entered into directly by such affiliate with Sponsor, and for its affiliates’ compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Work Order. The term “Affiliate” shall mean all entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with CRO, and the term “control” for purposes of this definition shall mean the ability to vote fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities of any entity or otherwise having the ability to influence and direct the policies and direction of an entity.

 

 

 

 

C.An increase in the scope of Services for any Work Order may require changes in the Budget and timelines to the Work Order and shall require written amendments to such Work Order in the form of a “Change Order”. Each Change Order shall detail the requested changes to the Services. Sponsor shall be responsible for the costs associated with any additional services requested or for any increased costs directly associated with or directly resulting from changes to a project protocol and material timeline extensions or increases in sites attributable to Sponsor or due to reasons which could not have been reasonably foreseen. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, changes to the scope of Services consisting of a reduction, shall be reflected in a Change Order.

 

2.Obligations and Representations.

Pursuant to this Agreement, CRO agrees that it has not and will not, either directly or indirectly, engage in bribery, or offer, or promise, or solicit, or make, or receive any “improper payment”, including, but not limited to, cash, loan, gift, travel, entertainment, hospitality, facilitation payment, kickback, political or philanthropic contribution, anything of value for the benefit of the Parties or its personnel or any entity or individual associated with the Parties or its personnel, or for any other perceived benefit as an inducement to act or refrain from acting, or in order to improperly obtain or retain a business advantage in relation to this Agreement.

CRO will use appropriate safeguards to protect the confidentiality of the Personal Information and will ensure that any of its agents or employees agrees to these same requirements. CRO will report to the Sponsor any use or disclosure of Personal Information not permitted by this Agreement. CRO will make available to the Sponsor reasonable information necessary for both Parties to comply with any individual’s rights to access, amend, and receive an accounting of disclosures of their Personal Information.
