Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective as November 5, 2021, PDS Biotechnology Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Patent License Agreement (the "Patent License Agreement") with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as represented by National Cancer Institute ("NCI") of the National Institutes of Health ("NIH"). Pursuant to the Patent License Agreement, the Company obtained a nonexclusive license to the patent rights for NCI's T-cell receptor gamma alternate reading frame protein ("TARP") to develop and commercialize TARP peptide-based therapies in combination with the Company's Versamune® technology and any other of the Company's proprietary technologies for prostate and breast cancers and Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The Patent License Agreement expires when the last licensed patent expires if the Patent License Agreement is not terminated prior to that date. NCI may terminate the Patent License Agreement if the Company is in default in the performance of any material obligation under the Patent License Agreement. The Company may unilaterally terminate the Patent License Agreement in any country or territory upon sixty (60) days written notice. Under the Patent License Agreement the Company agreed to pay NCI certain non-creditable, nonrefundable license issue royalties, unreimbursed patent expenses for the licensed patent rights, a nonrefundable minimum annual royalty, earned royalties as a percentage of net sales and benchmark royalties.
