1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 9, 2025, Polomar Health Services, Inc. (formerly known as Trustfeed Corp,), a Nevada corporation (“Company”), executed an Amended and Restated Know-How and Patent License Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Pinata Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pinata”).
On June 29, 2024, the Company executed a Know-How and Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Pinata to license from Pinata certain patent pending intellectual property rights and know how (the “IP Rights”) regarding the proprietary delivery of products containing metformin, sumatriptan, semaglutide, liraglutide and sildenafil (the “Ingredients”). The Agreement was filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on July 5, 2024.
The Restated Agreement supersedes and replaces the Agreement and incorporates the following terms:
The license is worldwide, non-exclusive and non-transferable but may be sub-licensed pursuant to the terms of the Restated Agreement.
The Company shall be obligated to pay a royalty to Pinata ranging from ten percent (10%) to twenty percent (20%) of the net sales from products utilizing the IP Rights containing the Ingredients.
The Restated Agreement has a perpetual term, subject to the right of either party to terminate (a) if the other party commits a material breach of its obligations under the Restated Agreement and fails to cure such breach and (b) at any time upon 180 days prior written notice to the other party.
The Company is utilizing the IP Rights in products manufactured and distributed by its wholly owned subsidiary Polomar Specialty Pharmacy, LLC (“Polomar SP”), a Florida limited liability company. Polomar SP is a party to the Restated Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Restated Agreement and the IP Rights does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Restated Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Pinata is an affiliate of CWR 1, LLC, the Company’s majority shareholder, through common ownership.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of fact, that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Although we believe forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results or performance of each company to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (1) the risk that Pinata may not be granted the pending patents under the IP Rights, (2) the ability of the Company to effectively utilize the licensed IP Rights to increase customer value and financial returns, (3) the ability to integrate the IP Rights into the existing Polomar business and realize the anticipated benefits of the license, (4) the risk that the pending merger between the Company and Polomar will not be consummated and (5) the other risks described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and such other periodic filings the Company makes from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments, and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this press release, and we caution investors not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

Certain Definitions
As used herein, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:
“Affiliate” means, as to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including with correlative meaning, the terms “controlled,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
“Applicable Laws” means all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations, and guidelines, including all applicable standards or guidelines promulgated by any applicable governmental authority (including cGCP, cGMP, and cGLP).
“Confidential Information” means any proprietary or confidential information or material in tangible form disclosed hereunder that is marked as “confidential” at the time it is delivered to the receiving party, or proprietary or confidential information disclosed orally hereunder which is identified as confidential or proprietary when disclosed and the confidentiality of which is confirmed in writing within 30 calendar days by the disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties’ obligations not to use or disclose “Confidential Information” of the other party shall not apply to any information that (a) was publicly available prior to the date of disclosure by the disclosing party; (b) that has been lawfully received by the receiving party from another source not under obligation of secrecy with respect to such information; or (c) that becomes publicly available not due to any breach of this Agreement by the receiving party.
“Improvements” means all technical ideas, discoveries, drawings, inventions, Confidential Information and/or Know-How, whether or not patentable, relating to the Products, Patents and/or Know-How.
“Know-How” means any and all Confidential Information, trade secrets, specifications, test results, analyses, data, technical information, processes, formulae, mixtures, compositions, delivery systems, designs, techniques, applications, ideas, concepts, inventions and methods, whether or not reduced to practice, relating to the manufacture or production of the Products, including, but not limited to, any of the foregoing that is or could be the subject matter of a foreign or domestic patent or patent application, whether or not reduced to writing in a patent application.
“Liabilities” means any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, prosecutions, settlements, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, court costs and attorney’s fees) arising out of or related to the manufacture, distribution, sale, commercial exploitation or use of the Products; provided, however, that the foregoing includes, but is not limited to, (a) claims that the Products fail or failed to meet any warranty, express or implied, or are or were defective in design, workmanship or manufacture, (b) claims for personal injury (including death) suffered, now or in the future, by any person involved in or in connection with the manufacture, distribution, sale, commercial exploitation or use of the Products; and (c) claims for damage to property (including damage to the property of either Licensee) suffered, now or in the future, by any person involved in or in connection with the manufacture, distribution, sale, commercial exploitation or use of the Products; provided, however, that the foregoing does not include claims that a Licensee’s use of the Licensed Intellectual Property or the manufacture, distribution, sale, commercial exploitation or use of the Products infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right unless such infringement directly and wholly results from a breach of this Agreement by Licensee or from a sale or use of Products that differs from the current practice of Licensor (as provided to Licensee in writing).
“Licensed Intellectual Property” means the Patents and Know-How, and all Improvement thereto.
“Licensors’ Knowledge” (and similar phrases) means the actual knowledge or reason to know, after due inquiry, of Licensor or its Affiliates during the three (3) year period prior to the Effective Date.
“Net Selling Price” means the retail sales price of the Products less any returns accepted for legitimate business purposes. In the event any sales of Products are made: (a) to a corporation, firm, association or organization that, or individual who, owns directly or indirectly a controlling interest in Licensee, or any parent or subsidiary corporation of Licensee, by stock ownership or otherwise, or (b) to a corporation, firm, association or organization in which Licensee, or any subsidiary or parent company of Licensee owns, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest by stock ownership or otherwise, or (c) to a corporation, firm, association or organization with which, or individual with whom, Licensee or any subsidiary or parent companies have any agreement, understanding, or arrangement (such as, among other things, an option to purchase stock, or an arrangement involving a division of profits or special rebates or allowances) without which agreement, understanding, or arrangement, prices paid by such corporation, firm, association, organization, or individual for the Products would be higher than the “Net Sales” reported by Licensee, or if such agreement, understanding, or arrangement results in extending to such corporation, firm, association, organization, or individual lower prices for Products than those charged to outside concerns buying similar merchandise in similar amounts and under similar conditions, then the royalties to be paid hereunder with respect to such Products will be based on the “Net Sales” price at which the purchaser of such Products so resells such Products. Where Products are not sold, but are otherwise disposed of, the “Net Sales” of such Products for the purposes of computing royalties will be the gross selling price at which Products of similar kind and quality, sold in similar quantities, are currently being offered for sale by Licensee.
| 2 |
“Patents” means (a) all patents and patent applications identified on Schedule 2 hereto; (b) all other foreign and domestic patents and patent applications filed by, or assigned to, Licensor or any of its Affiliates subsequent to the date hereof and relating to the manufacture, distribution, supply or commercial exploitation of Products or any invention, method, process, formula, mixture, composition or delivery system having application to a Product, and all foreign and domestic patents issuing on any of the foregoing patent applications; (c) all applications of Licensor and its Affiliates claiming priority to the foregoing patents and patent applications; and (d) all continuations, continuations-in-part, divisions, reissues, reexaminations, additions, and renewals relating to the foregoing.

In such event, Licensor agrees to cooperate with Licensee and to join in such action as a party plaintiff if requested to do so by Licensee and to give Licensee all needed information, assistance and authority to file and prosecute such action.

6.4. Licensor is responsible for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining registrations for the Patents within the Territory.

This includes, but is not limited to, handling applications, maintenance, renewals, oppositions, cancellation actions, and infringement actions, as reasonably requested by Licensor and at Licensor’s expense. If Licensor chooses not to file a Patent application in any country or decides to abandon any pending application or granted Patent in any country, it must give adequate notice to Licensee. In such cases, Licensee reserves the right to file or maintain the Patent application or Patent at its own expense
