Skinvisible, Inc. (OTCBB:SKVI)
Dear Members,
I just wanted to update you on Skinvisible, Inc. – OTCBB: SKVI. I was reading their latest Form 10-Q filed about two weeks ago. I think it gives a great understanding of the agreements with RHEI. See below quoted from the that 10-Q – PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO WHAT I HIGHLIGHTED IN RED.
FROM THE SKINVISIBLE 10-Q FILED NOV 15 2010:
Recent Developments
On June 30, 2010, we entered into an exclusive license agreement (“Agreement 1”) with RHEI Pharmaceuticals HK, Ltd. (“RHEI”), a Hong Kong-based pharmaceutical company and a subsidiary of the Luxembourg-based Leeward Ventures SICAR SCA. Under the agreement, we granted to RHEI the exclusive rights to three of our formulations developed using the Invisicare polymer delivery system. The agreement specifies exclusivity for products in the institutional / healthcare market and includes an adult incontinence cream, skin barrier cream and super moisturizer. The agreement specifies upfront license fees for the territories of Europe and China and milestone payments based on approvals and launch dates for the United States. In addition, we will receive royalties on sales of the products. RHEI will be responsible for regulatory filings, manufacturing and commercialization of the products.
RHEI will leverage its affiliate BeoCare Group, a leading medical consumables manufacturer with facilities in the United States, Europe and China, to provide access to the institutional / healthcare markets through its established network of multi-national clients. Additionally, RHEI will also sell to its affiliate, Senior Assist NV, one of the largest assisted living providers in Belgium, with a chain of thirty-three seniors’ homes.
We have also entered into an exclusive licensing agreement (Agreement 2”) with RHEI on June 30, 2010 for the commercial/institutional rights for DermSafe® Hand Sanitizer for Europe and China. This agreement includes licensing fees payable in milestones based on regulatory approval in Europe and China, anticipated to occur within twelve months or less. RHEI will pay us a royalty on product sales and be responsible for seeking regulatory approval, manufacturing, and commercialization. We retain rights to DermSafe for the retail/consumer markets within Europe and China. This agreement also provides us with all data generated by RHEI to pursue regulatory approvals within the U.S. and internationally.
On October 12, 2010, we and RHEI amended the above agreements entered into on June 30, 2010. RHEI has chosen to focus on DermSafe® as their priority product after having established a straightforward path to European approval added to an increased interest for an alcohol-free hand sanitizer in that territory. The amended agreements grant RHEI the exclusive right to distribute DermSafe® within Europe for commercial use only subject to RHEI paying a license fee of five hundred thousand US dollars (US$500,000). We agreed to apply the two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars (US $250,000) license fee already paid by RHEI for Agreement 1 towards Agreement 2 for Europe and RHEI paid a further fifty thousand US dollars (US $50,000) with the balance owing of two hundred thousand US dollars (US $200,000) due upon RHEI making its first sale within the territory but no later than March 21, 2011.
Agreement 1, which includes an adult incontinence cream, barrier cream and super moisturizer, remains in place and will now require the license fees to be paid upon launch. Agreement 1 will become non-exclusive effective immediately for the term of the agreement. Should RHEI elect to pay the license fee prior to the expiration date of Agreement 1, the license fee will be due immediately and Agreement 1 will become exclusive for RHEI for that territory. While Agreement 1 remains non-exclusive, we have the right to enter into an exclusive agreement with another party other than RHEI for Europe, China or the US.
These two new agreements with RHEI will pay us $1.5 million in licensing fees if all milestones are met and no later than June 30, 2011. In addition we will receive royalties on their product sales plus revenue from the Invisicare polymer required to make the products. (fully explained above).
(END OF CITATION FROM 10-Q)
That is higly significant and will make a very meaningful addition to the bottom line. We will keep you updated!
