Exhibit 10.1
BINDING TERM SHEET
Global License Agreement for VXM01
Among OSR Holdings, Inc., Vaximm AG (collectively, “Licensor”) and BCM Europe AG (“Licensee”)
Date: 23 March, 2026
This Binding Term Sheet (this “Term Sheet”) supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Binding Term Sheet dated 13 January, 2026 between BCM Europe AG and Vaximm AG, and reflects the agreed updated transaction structure as described herein.
1. Parties
Licensor:
| ● | OSR Holdings, Inc. (“OSRH”), a publicly listed biomedical holding company (NASDAQ: OSRH), acting as direct counterparty and primary beneficiary of milestone and royalty payments under this Term Sheet. |
| ● | Vaximm AG, a Swiss biotechnology company and wholly-owned subsidiary of OSRH, as the owner and developer of the VXM01 oral cancer immunotherapy platform. |
Licensee:
| ● | BCM Europe AG (“BCME”), a Swiss-based investment entity and the largest shareholder of OSR Holdings, Inc., acting as development-stage biotech financier operating through a dedicated investment vehicle tentatively named BCM Decentralized Science Investors I, LP (the “Fund”). |
2. Transaction Overview
The updated structure introduces OSR Holdings, Inc. as a direct counterparty to this Term Sheet alongside Vaximm AG. Under the revised framework:
| ● | OSRH will provide a development financing facility of up to $30,000,000 to Vaximm, drawable by Vaximm as needed to support clinical development of VXM01. |
| ● | In return, the BCME Fund will be responsible for up to $815,000,000 in milestone payments, payable directly to OSR Holdings, Inc. (rather than to Vaximm AG), allowing OSR Holdings to receive licensing-related cash flows directly. |
| ● | Royalties from any Ultimate Licensee will be passed through per the delta-recovery mechanism described in Section 5, with payments flowing to OSR Holdings, Inc. |
| ● | BCME shall have an equity participation right as described in Section 6. |
BCME’s business model is that of a financial and licensing intermediary:
| ● | BCME (through the Fund) will develop VXM01 to the extent necessary to negotiate and conclude an Ultimate License Agreement with a global pharmaceutical company. |
| ● | BCME does not assume a standalone commercial royalty obligation. Instead, BCME will pass through royalties from the Ultimate Licensee to OSRH, subject to the delta-recovery mechanism described in Section 5. |
3. Grant of License
Vaximm AG grants BCME:
| ● | Exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable rights to VXM01 for all indications; |
| ● | Rights to develop, register, manufacture, commercialize, co-promote, or out-license VXM01; |
| ● | Rights to engage any Ultimate Licensee of Licensee’s choosing. |
All existing and future Vaximm intellectual property relating to VXM01 is included within the scope of the license.
4. Financial Consideration
4.1 Development Financing Facility
OSR Holdings, Inc. shall provide Vaximm AG a development financing facility of up to $30,000,000, drawable by Vaximm as needed to support clinical development of VXM01. The facility replaces the prior structure whereby upfront payments were made directly by BCME to Vaximm. Drawdowns shall be governed by the terms of the definitive Global License Agreement and any related intercompany facility documentation.
Note on Digital Assets: Provisions for digital asset financing, contemplated in the prior term sheet, have been deferred pending further regulatory clarity applicable to public companies holding and transacting in digital assets. The Parties reserve the right to reintroduce such provisions in future amendments once the regulatory environment is sufficiently defined.
4.2 Clinical, Regulatory & Commercial Milestones
The BCME Fund shall pay up to an additional $815,000,000 in milestone payments, payable directly to OSR Holdings, Inc., upon achievement of clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones to be detailed in the Definitive Agreement.
Milestone Design Principles:
| ● | Milestones shall be primarily weighted toward clinical and regulatory achievements, including advancement through Phase 2 and Phase 3 development and regulatory approvals. |
| ● | Purely operational milestones (e.g. patient recruitment thresholds or trial initiation alone) shall be minimized and capped. |
| ● | The milestone schedule shall be consistent with industry-standard oncology licensing transactions, adjusted to reflect the Phase-2b-ready status of VXM01. |
2
5. Ultimate Licensee Out-License & Royalty Pass-Through
Licensee shall actively pursue an Ultimate Licensee (a global pharmaceutical partner) for VXM01. All downstream royalty economics received by Licensee from the Ultimate Licensee shall be treated as follows, with all amounts ultimately payable to OSR Holdings, Inc.:
5.1 Milestone Retention and Accounting
Milestone payments received by Licensee from the Ultimate Licensee belong to Licensee; however, such payments shall be used solely for purposes of calculating the Negative Milestone Delta.
5.2 Negative Milestone Delta and Preferred Return Recovery Mechanism
“Negative Milestone Delta” means:
| ● | (i) the aggregate milestone payments actually paid by Licensee to OSR Holdings, Inc. pursuant to Section 4.2, plus |
| ● | (ii) the Minimum Preferred Return accrued for the Limited Partners of the Fund, minus |
| ● | (iii) the aggregate milestone payments actually received by Licensee from the Ultimate Licensee. |
“Minimum Preferred Return” means a preferred return accruing for the benefit of the Limited Partners of the Fund on capital deployed in connection with VXM01, at a rate not to exceed fifteen percent (15.0%) per annum, compounded annually or otherwise as agreed in the definitive documentation.
If the Negative Milestone Delta is greater than zero:
| ● | Licensee shall be entitled to full priority recovery of the Negative Milestone Delta; |
| ● | such recovery shall be made using one hundred percent (100%) of all royalty payments received by Licensee from the Ultimate Licensee; |
| ● | until the Negative Milestone Delta has been fully recovered. |
5.3 Royalty Pass-Through (After Delta Recovery)
Upon full recovery of the Negative Milestone Delta (including the Minimum Preferred Return):
| ● | Licensee shall pass through one hundred percent (100%) of all subsequent royalty payments received from the Ultimate Licensee directly to OSR Holdings, Inc., |
Following such recovery, Licensee shall retain no ongoing royalty spread or economic participation in royalties derived from VXM01.
3
6. Equity Participation Right
OSR Holdings, Inc. shall retain an option to issue up to $15,000,000 of OSRH common stock to the BCME Fund at a price of $10.00 per share, exercisable at OSRH’s sole discretion no earlier than six (6) months following execution of the definitive Global License Agreement (the “Equity Option”).
The Parties acknowledge that:
| ● | The stated issuance price of $10.00 per share represents a significant premium to the current market price of OSRH common stock. |
| ● | BCME’s willingness to accept shares at such premium pricing is intended to signal BCME’s commitment to the long-term success of VXM01 and to OSR Holdings as its principal public vehicle. |
| ● | The Equity Option is structured to avoid dilution of existing shareholders at depressed market prices, with exercise reserved to OSRH’s discretion. |
| ● | Full terms of the Equity Option, including registration rights and lock-up provisions if any, shall be set forth in the Definitive Agreement. |
7. Blockchain-Based Royalty Participation (Conditional)
The Blockchain (“TAC”)-based royalty model applies only if Vaximm elects to draw development capital from the BCM Royalty Fund.
7.1 If Vaximm Draws Capital
Licensor shall contribute a negotiated percentage of its future commercial royalty revenue from VXM01 into a TAC Royalty Distribution Wallet for distribution to TAC holders.
7.2 If Vaximm Does Not Draw Capital
| ● | No TAC contribution obligation applies. |
| ● | Royalties flow solely through the pass-through mechanism in Section 5. |
