Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 11, 2020, Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the "Company") announced in a press release that it had entered into an agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with Sandoz Inc. to terminate the Distribution and Commercialization Agreement dated as of July 1, 2018 (the "Sandoz Agreement") previously entered into between the Company and Sandoz relating to the Company's SYMJEPI ® (epinephrine) Injection 0.3mg, SYMJEPI® (epinephrine) Injection 0.15mg products for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions (Type I) including anaphylaxis, which are currently marketed by Sandoz and available in the United States pursuant to the Sandoz Agreement, and reacquire the rights to the SYMJEPI products. The Company also announced that it had entered into an exclusive distribution and commercialization agreement (the "USWM Agreement") with USWM, LLC ("USWM" or "US WorldMeds") for the United States commercial rights for the SYMJEPI products, as well as for the Company's ZIMHI™(naloxone HCI Injection, USP) 5mg/0.5mL product candidate intended for the emergency treatment of opioid overdose.

The Termination Agreement provides for the mutually agreed return to Adamis of the marketing, promotion, and distribution rights, and certain marketing and promotional materials, relating to the SYMJEPI products, and the termination of the Sandoz Agreement, following a transition period, supported by a transition services agreement that Sandoz and the Company or its designee agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into, concerning certain transition services, activities and arrangements relating to the SYMJEPI products. As part of the Termination Agreement, Sandoz will continue to support the products in the U.S. under the Sandoz Agreement through the end of the transition period to help reduce or minimize any potential impact to patients and customers. The Termination Agreement also provides for a future resolution following the end of the transition period and termination of the Sandoz Agreement of any amounts that may be payable or owed with respect to the net sales and profit sharing provisions of the Sandoz Agreement, and for survival of certain provisions of the Sandoz Agreement.

Under the terms of the USWM Agreement, the Company appointed USWM as the exclusive (including as to the Company) distributor of the SYMJEPI products in the United States and related territories ("Territory") effective upon the termination of the Sandoz Agreement, and of the ZIMHI product, following receipt of regulatory approval, and granted USWM an exclusive license under the Company's patent and other intellectual property rights and know-how to market, sell, and otherwise commercialize and distribute the products in the Territory, subject to the provisions of the USWM Agreement, in partial consideration of an initial payment by USWM and potential regulatory and commercial based milestone payments totaling up to $26 million, if the milestones are achieved. There can be no assurances that any of these milestones will be met or that any milestone payments will be paid to the Company. The Company retains rights to the intellectual property subject to the USWM Agreement and to commercialize both products outside of the Territory. In addition, the Company may continue to use the licensed intellectual property (excluding certain of the licensed trademarks) to develop and commercialize other products (with certain exceptions), including products that utilize the Company's injection device platform.

The USWM Agreement provides that, subject to certain adjustments, USWM will pay to the Company 50% of the net profit from net sales, as each such term is defined in the USWM Agreement, of the products in the Territory to third parties, determined on a quarterly basis. The Company will be the supplier of the products to USWM, and USWM will order and pay the Company a supply price for quantities of products ordered. Under the USWM Agreement, net profit is determined based on the amount of net sales less the supply price that USWM pays the Company for quantities of the products sold in the applicable period, less certain additional amounts relating to sales, distribution and other allocations and expenses and amounts allocable to the products and less certain other adjustments and amounts, and net sales is determined based on the net sales recorded by USWM for sales of the products and reflecting a number of customary deductions allocable to the products including, without limitation, product recalls or returns, discounts and credits, rebates, and certain other items.

The Company will be responsible for all manufacturing, component and supply costs related to manufacturing and supplying the products to USWM at a supply price based on Adamis' direct product costs. The Company is responsible for component sourcing and regulatory compliance in the supply chain and for testing of lots of products. The USWM Agreement includes customary provisions relating to ordering, delivering and payment for products ordered by USWM. The Company will also be responsible for all regulatory and registration activities related to the products in the Territory, including all costs of protecting and maintaining the Company's intellectual property and costs related to obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for the products.

USWM will purchase all the products from the Company at a supply price and will be responsible for the marketing, sales, and distribution of the products in the Territory, subject to the provisions of the USWM Agreement. USWM will also be responsible for regulatory compliance with federal, state, and local government purchasing, pricing, and reimbursement programs. USWM will record revenues from . . .
