Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 1, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), NexGel, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) closed a transaction related to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 30, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Olympus Trading Company, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Seller”), whereby the Company purchased all assets related to the Seller’s skincare line focused on reducing symptoms associated with psoriasis operating under the tradename “Kenkoderm” (collectively, the “Business”).

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and on the Closing Date, the Company paid the Seller a cash payment of $546,500 (the “Initial Cash Payment”). The Initial Cash Payment is not subject to any escrow conditions. Additionally, the Company shall pay the Seller a cash earn-out paid on a quarterly basis which is based on an additional $546,500 payment but will be increased or decreased based on the results of the Business during 2024 based on the formula contained in the Purchase Agreement (the “Earn-Out Payments”). The Initial Cash Payment and Earn-Out Payments are referred to herein as the Purchase Price.

The Purchase Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby are not subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company. The Purchase Agreement contains standard representations and warranties regarding the Seller and the Business and certain limited representations and warranties regarding the Company. The Purchase Agreement also contains indemnification provisions for the benefit of the Company and the Seller. Neither the Company nor the Seller shall be liable for more than the Purchase Price under the indemnification provisions except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct. The Seller and the Seller’s President and owner agreed to 3-year non-compete provisions as part of the Purchase Agreement.

This summary of certain terms of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) by reference.

The Purchase Agreement has been included solely to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to be a source of financial, business or operational information, or to provide any other factual information, about the Company, the Seller or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement are made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and are made as of specific dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties (except as specifically set forth therein); may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Purchase Agreement; and may be subject to standards of materiality and knowledge applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, the Seller or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
