On November 27, 2019, Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Relmada”) amended and restated its Unit Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock and five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock in the Company’s private placement offering on February 12, 2019. The only changes made in the amended and restated Unit Purchase Agreement are in Section 5.4 thereof, which provides that until February 12, 2020, such investors have the right to participate in the Company’s offerings of equity securities, subject to certain conditions, including that such investor’s beneficial ownership of common stock of the Company will not exceed 4.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock giving effect to closing of such offerings, and that such right shall not apply to any issuance of equity securities being issued (i) as compensation to officers, directors or consultants to the Company, or (ii) in connection with mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances or similar transactions, the principal purpose of which is not capital raising. A copy of the amended and restated Unit Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

On December 2, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment of the License Agreement, dated January 16, 2018 (the “License Agreement”), with Dr. Charles E. Inturrisi and Dr. Paolo Manfredi (collectively, the “Licensor”). Pursuant to an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement, dated January 16, 2018, Relmada assigned its existing rights, including patents and patent applications, to d-methadone in the context of psychiatric use to Licensor, and pursuant to the License Agreement, Licensor then granted Relmada an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license under the assigned intellectual property rights as well as patents and know-how covering certain new inventions developed by Licensor and relating to d-methadone in neurological and other uses, to develop and commercialize d-methadone in all fields of use. The License Agreement includes certain provisions permitting Licensor to terminate the License Agreement during the period commencing on the effective date and the later of five years following such date, or December 31, 2022 (the “Key Man Term”), if the employment of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr Sergio Traversa, is terminated other than for “cause”, or in certain circumstances if we modify the scope of his responsibilities in connection with the development and commercialization of d-methadone, or materially reduce his compensation. The purpose of the amendment was to amend the License Agreement to, among other things (i) modify and expand the definition of “cause” permitting termination of Mr. Sergio Traversa, our Chief Executive Officer, without enabling termination of the License Agreement, including Mr Traversa’s death or disability resulting in his termination, and (ii) to enable the appointment of a suitable replacement for Mr. Traversa for the remainder of the Key Man Term in the event of such death or disability. The description set forth below in Item 8.01 under “Business—Intellectual Property Portfolio and Market Exclusivity—D-Methadone License Agreement” of the d-methadone Agreements as amended is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the amendment to the d-methadone Agreements is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 hereto.

The Company is filing an updated description of certain aspects of the Company’s business, its directors and executive officers and certain relationships and related transactions, as well as updated risk factors describing risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company and the market price of its common stock with this report for the purpose of updating the disclosures contained in the Company’s prior filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The updated description of the Company’s business and the updated risk factors are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
