On June 10, 2021, pursuant to the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2021 and as amended on May 9, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among BioVie Inc. (the “Company” or “BioVie”), NeurMedix, Inc.

At the closing of the Transaction, BioVie issued to Acuitas (as NeurMedix’s assignee) 8,361,308 shares of the Company’s common stock and made a cash payment of approximately $2.3 million, representing NeurMedix’s direct and documented cash expenditures to advance certain programs from March 1, 2021 through the closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, BioVie is also obligated to deliver contingent consideration to NeurMedix (or its successor) consisting of (i) a cash payment of approximately $7.3 million, subject to a pivotal clinical trial for NE3107 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease meeting its primary endpoint(s) and BioVie having successfully raised at least $50.0 million of new capital, and (ii) up to 18,000,000 shares of BioVie’s common stock upon the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones related to the drug candidates purchased from NeurMedix, subject to a cap limiting the issuance of such shares if such issuance would result in the beneficial ownership of NeurMedix and its affiliates exceeding 87.5% of BioVie’s issued and outstanding common stock, as more fully set forth in the Purchase Agreement. At the closing, BioVie and Acuitas entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which BioVie has agreed to register the resale of the shares of common stock to Acuitas issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
