Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 7, 2019, Oxford Immunotec Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxford Immunotec Global PLC (“OI Global”), entered into a Supplier Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Millipore (UK) Ltd. (“Merck”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, Merck supplies us with the membrane plates used in tests incorporating our T-SPOT® technology. We provide rolling forecasts of our anticipated purchases and portions of those forecasts become binding orders. We receive pricing discounts based on the size of our orders. The agreement expires, unless earlier terminated, on December 31, 2024. Each party has the right to terminate in the event of a material uncured default by the other party. Each party also has the right to terminate the Agreement upon at least twelve months’ prior written notice. In the event Merck exercises its right of termination, we may continue to purchase goods under the Agreement for up to twelve months following termination.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to OI Global’s next periodic report.
