In May 2011, the Company received a short term unsecured loan facility of up to $1.7 million from SynBio, an affiliate of the Company, of which $152,529 and $395,000 was outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In connection with the APA, the Company made a series of payments during the first two quarters of 2016 totaling $242,471 to creditors of Kevelt. Pursuant to the APA such payments are considered direct offsets to the loan with SynBio. No payments were made during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The loan had an interest rate of 8.04% per annum as of the date of grant, with interest payable upon repayment of the loan, which was to be seven months after the closing date of the loan. During 2012, the loan matured and it was agreed by both parties that the loan can be called due with full repayment of the outstanding principal including accrued interest upon future agreement by both parties. It was also agreed as of July 1, 2012 that no further interest on the outstanding loan balance would be accrued. The loan is recorded in “Loans due to related parties” within current liabilities.

 

The Company has entered into various research, development, license and supply agreements with Shire, SynBio, Serum and Pharmsynthez, each a related party whose relationship and ownership has not materially changed from that disclosed in our 10-K/A filed April 29, 2016.
