On June 2, 2026, NorthStrive Defense Tech LLC (“NorthStrive Defense Tech”), a wholly owned subsidiary of PMGC Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a binding term sheet (“Term Sheet”) with Florida State University Research Foundation, Inc. (“FSURF”), a Florida direct-support organization of Florida State University, pursuant to which FSURF will license patent rights related to U.S. Patent No. 12,291,334 (“Patent”) and the related know-how to NorthStrive Defense Tech. The license (“License”) is exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable, and covers the field of aerospace and defense technologies. As consideration for the License, NorthStrive Defense Tech agreed to a tiered earned royalty arrangement with FSURF on net sales of licensed products in connection with the License, pursuant to which a royalty is paid as a percentage depending on product category and cumulative net sales, subject to an annual minimum royalty and a sublicensing revenue share percentage to be paid to FSURF. NorthStrive Defense Tech will also pay an annual license maintenance fee to FSURF. FSURF will retain all other rights not expressly granted under the Term Sheet. NorthStrive Defense Tech agreed to pursue a multi-year development plan, as further set forth in Appendix B of the Term Sheet, using commercially reasonable efforts. Such development plan is subject to change as technical, funding, and market conditions develop, and the parties may adjust timelines set forth thereunder by mutual agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Sheet, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Educational Research Agreement between NorthStrive Defense Tech LLC and the Florida State University Research Foundation
On June 1, 2026, NorthStrive Defense Tech entered into an Educational Research Agreement with FSURF (“Research Agreement”), in connection with the Term Sheet and to support continued development of the technology related to the Patent. Under the Research Agreement, NorthStrive Defense Tech agreed to fund $490,657, as further described in the Research Agreement, for research related to the technology underlying the Patent (“Research”). The Research will be performed by the Center for Intelligent Systems, Control, and Robotics (“Provider”) at the Florida State University. Invoicing for the sponsored funds are milestone-based and is further set forth in Attachment B to the Research Agreement. The Research will be conducted on a best, reasonable efforts basis, and the Provider did not guarantee specific results. The manner of the performance of the Research is determined solely by the Provider.
Any Invention (as defined below) made during the Research by the Provider will belong to FSURF, subject to the option (“Option”) FSURF granted to NorthStrive Defense Tech under the Research Agreement to negotiate a royalty-bearing agreement to license any Invention made during the Research by the Sponsor. In addition to the Option, FSURF granted to NorthStrive Defense Tech a royalty free, non-exclusive license for internal, non-commercial use of any Invention made during the Research, to the extent that FSURF has the legal rights to grant such license. To begin negotiations for such license for any Invention, NorthStrive Defense Tech shall indicate its desire to do so in writing within 45 days of disclosure of the Invention by FSURF to NorthStrive Defense Tech. In such event, NorthStrive Defense Tech and FSURF are obligated to negotiate in good faith for a period not more than 90 days from NorthStrive Defense Tech’s indication of interest to negotiate the license agreement, or such period of time as to which the parties may mutually agree. If the parties fail to enter into a license agreement during such period of time, the rights to such Invention will be disposed of in accordance with Florida State University’s policies, with no further obligation to NorthStrive Defense Tech.
