This arrangement is not a classic partnership, as Amarantus is maintaining all intellectual property rights to current and future versions of LymPro at the current time. This is a services agreement that gets the ball rolling on the CLIA process as we make progress on our ongoing LP-002 clinical study and puts Icon in a sub-contractor relationship with respect to LymPro. Icon will be providing central laboratory services to Amarantus in a fee-for-service arrangement, which is their primary business model. This services agreement extends over four years and covers LymPro’s central laboratory requirements under CLIA (under CLIA, only 1 laboratory facility can run a Laboratory Developed Test), in addition to consulting support for Eltoprazine’s further clinical development and our MANF program as we move it towards human trials. With this agreement, we also gain access to a global distribution network for LymPro, including central laboratories in Europe, Singapore, India and China that will allow LymPro to enter these new markets seamlessly through an already established distribution framework.
