Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure - News Release
IntelGenx Corp. ("IntelGenx", or the Company), announced today that it has executed a binding term-sheet with RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (RedHill), an Israeli corporation listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) under the symbol RDHL, to co-develop and license an anti-psychotic oral thin film product based upon the Company's proprietary VersaFilm technology.
The term-sheet sets forth the main criteria to be incorporated into a definitive development and license agreement, subject to due diligence, under which RedHill would obtain exclusive worldwide rights to market and sell IntelGenx' rapidly dissolving anti-psychotic oral film product. In exchange, IntelGenx would receive upfront, milestone, and external development fees totalling up to US$2.3 million from RedHill. Furthermore, upon commercialization of the product, IntelGenx would receive up to 50% of all proceeds including, but not limited to, all sales milestones and income from the product world-wide. IntelGenx and RedHill have entered into a ninety-day exclusivity period, during which IntelGenx is prohibited from engaging in negotiations related to the product with any other party. The term-sheet also provides for a breakup fee in the event that IntelGenx or RedHill is unable to execute the licensing agreement, under certain circumstances, after the satisfactory completion of due diligence.
