Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 6, 2016, ImmuCell announced that it has acquired certain business assets from DAY 1™ Technology, LLC of Minnesota. The acquired rights and know-how are primarily related to formulating ImmuCell’s bovine antibodies into a gel solution for oral delivery to newborn calves via a syringe (or “tube”). This purchase also includes certain other related private-label products that could generate around $300,000 in annual sales for ImmuCell. Assets purchased in this transaction included inventory, machinery, equipment and certain intellectual property intangibles. The total purchase price is expected to approximate $350,000 to $550,000 including estimated contingent payments due over the next three years. The purchase does not include the ongoing DAY 1™ Technology consulting business. ImmuCell has extended job offers to four full-time and three part-time employees of DAY 1™ Technology and plans to continue current operations at a leased facility in Minnesota.

 

The information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
