APPENDIX 1.25
Supply Price and Royalty
Definitions
“The Supply Price” for each Product shall be one hundred and five percent (105%) of Oasmia’s All-In Cost of Goods for such Product.
“All-In Cost-of-Goods” shall mean all direct out-of-pocket costs and Allocable Overhead incurred in the manufacture, packaging, storage and quality assurance release of the Product.
“Allocable Overhead” shall mean with respect to Oasmia’s manufacture, packaging, storage and quality assurance release of the Product, costs directly related to such activities and incremental costs actually incurred by Oasmia or for its account, including but not limited to, those which are attributable to Oasmia’s supervisory services, quality control, occupancy costs, financial costs, depreciations and its payroll, information systems, delivery systems, or purchasing functions and which are allocated to company departments based on space occupied or headcount or other activity-based method consistently applied by Oasmia. Allocable Overhead shall not include any costs attributable to general corporate activities including executive management, investor relations, business development and legal affairs.
Supply Price
The Supply Price will be set once per year by Oasmia based on its projected All-In Cost of Goods for Product for the upcoming calendar year (January 1 to December 31) and will be effective for all orders scheduled for delivery in that calendar year. The Supply Price shall be set in Euros, and Xxxxxx will pay Oasmia in such currency. For calculating the Supply Price, Oasmia shall convert components of the Supply Price in non-Euro currencies to their Euro equivalent using Oasmia’s standard methodology, which shall be according to IFRS. Oasmia shall inform Xxxxxx of the Supply Price for each calendar year no later than August 15 of the preceding year.
Royalty
In consideration of the rights granted to Xxxxxx and set forth in this Agreement and for Oasmia’s compliance with the terms and conditions hereunder, Xxxxxx shall pay royalties to Oasmia as set forth below (“Royalties”).
In each calendar year, Royalties shall equal the greater of: (I) eighteen percent (18%) of Net Sales, or |
(II) (a) thirty-four percent (34%) of Net Sales, up to a maximum of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) of Net Sales, plus
(b) forty percent (40%) of the amount Net Sales exceeds Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) up to a maximum of Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000) of Net Sales, plus |
(c) fifty percent (50%) of the amount Net Sales exceeds Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000), minus
(d) the Supply Price paid for the Products sold to achieve the full amount of Net Sales for such calendar year.
For example, if the amount of Net Sales in a given calendar year is $60 million, and the total Supply Price paid for the Products sold that year is $10 million, the Royalty for such year would be calculated as follows:
First Tier: 34% x $40 million = $13.6 million, plus
Second Tier: 40% x ($55 million - $40 million) = $6.0 million, plus
Third Tier: 50% x ($60 million - $55 million) = $2.5 million, minus
Supply Price: $10.0 million
Total Royalty: $12.1 million
For calculating the amount of Royalty due, Xxxxxx shall convert the Supply Price and all Net Sales occurring in non-US currencies to their US Dollar equivalent using Xxxxxx’x standard methodology, which shall be according to US GAAP.
Following the commencement of Product sale in any country in the Territory, Xxxxxx shall, within thirty (30) days of the end of every Calendar Quarter pay Royalties due to Oasmia and provide Oasmia with an accounting of the Royalties calculation for such Calendar Quarter. In addition, Xxxxxx shall, within ten (10) days of the end of every calendar month provide Oasmia with an estimate of Net Sales for such calendar month.
Taxes
All sums payable under this Agreement are exclusive of any Value Added Tax or any other sales tax or duties, which where applicable, shall be payable by the payer in addition to any sum in respect of which they are calculated.
Interest
All payments due hereunder that are not paid when due and payable shall bear interest on annual rate equal to LIBOR plus two percent (2%) from the due date until paid.
Xxxxxx Records and Control
Xxxxxx (together with its Affiliates, agents, representatives, sub-distributors, co-marketing partners and successors) shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records of the sales and all necessary data for calculation of the Net Sales for the Product for each year and shall retain such records for a period of three (3) years thereafter. Oasmia shall have the right to nominate a firm of independent certified public accountants acceptable to Xxxxxx to inspect such records for the purpose of verifying, at Oasmia’s expense and during reasonable business hours, Net Sales, provided that this right may not be exercised more than once in any calendar year, and provided further that such accounting firm shall be first made subject to confidentiality obligations not more burdensome than those to which the Parties are subject to under this Agreement. If Xxxxxx is required to reimburse Oasmia for an underpayment (in any amount) it shall do so within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice from Oasmia of the result of the accountants’ audit. In the event that the accountants’ audit find that an underpayment of five per cent (5%) or more has been made by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx shall reimburse Oasmia the cost of the audit (within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice of the results of the audit).
Oasmia Records and Control
Oasmia shall maintain, and require its Affiliates and any third party manufacturers to maintain, accurate records of All-In Cost-of-Goods and Allocable Overhead of the Products as well as relevant invoicing or other documentation relating thereto. Upon reasonable prior written notice from Xxxxxx, Oasmia shall allow such records to be made open to audit by Xxxxxx or on Xxxxxx’x behalf by an independent certified public accountant of Xxxxxx’x selection, to verify Oasmia’s All-In Cost-of-Goods and Allocable Overhead of the Products and reasonableness of any changes to such costs that are requested by Oasmia. Such accountant, if any, shall be first made subject to confidentiality obligations not more burdensome than those to which Xxxxxx and Oasmia are subject to under this Agreement. Oasmia’s records which are the object of this audit clause shall be maintained and be made available for audit for a period of at least three (3) years from the end of each then current year. In the event that such audit finds that an overcharge of five percent (5%) or more has been made by Oasmia, Oasmia shall reimburse Xxxxxx the cost of the audit (within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice of the results of the audit).
