Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 10, 2025, Ocean Biomedical, Inc. (the “Company”) received final notice from Elkurt, Inc. of termination of the licenses described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 13, 2025. The Final Notice states in relevant part:
“This letter is a follow-up to the letter Elkurt sent to Ocean dated June 9, 2025 (the “Notice Letter”). Capitalized terms used in this letter have their meaning as defined in the Notice Letter. The Notice Letter provided formal written notice in accordance with the Ocean Licenses that Ocean is in material breach of its contractual obligations and identified several items in breach. Section 10.2.2.1 of the Ocean Licenses provides that if Ocean fails to cure a breach “within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice”, then Elkurt may terminate the license “immediately upon written notice” to Ocean. Elkurt provided written notice to Ocean on June 9, 2025. As of the date of this letter the thirty-day cure period has now passed and is expired. As such, Elkurt states the following: This letter is notice under Section 10.2.2.1 of the termination of each Ocean License. Elkurt hereby terminates each Ocean License, effective immediately. Elkurt retains no obligation to Ocean of any kind with regard to the Ocean Licenses. Although the Ocean Licenses are terminated, please be aware that per Section 10.3.2 all of Ocean’s obligations under the Ocean Licenses that accrued prior to the date of termination remain continuing obligations, including without limitation payment in full of all amounts owed. Some of those obligations were stated in the Notice Letter.”
