Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 30, 2024, Veru Inc. (the “Company”) and The Female Health Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“FHC Limited” and, collectively with the Company, the “Sellers”) entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Clear Future, Inc. (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser purchased substantially all of the assets (the “FC2 Business Sale”) related to the Company's FC2 female condom business ® (internal condom), including the stock of the Company’s U.K. and Malaysian operating subsidiaries. The Purchaser will only assume certain liabilities relating to the FC2 business that are specified in the Purchase Agreement. The transaction closed on December 30, 2024.
 
The purchase price for the FC2 Business Sale is $18.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The adjustments to the purchase price in the Purchase Agreement include a customary working capital adjustment based on the amount by which certain working capital items at closing are greater or less than a target set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Estimated proceeds to the Company after deducting a change of control payment due to SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”) pursuant to the Residual Royalty Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2018 (the “Royalty Agreement”), between the Company and SWK, together with other customary transaction fees for a transaction of this type, is approximately $12.5 million, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
The Company and the Purchaser made customary representations and warranties, and agreed to certain customary covenants, in the Purchase Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, each party has agreed to indemnify the other for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants and for certain other matters.
 
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants may have been made for the purposes of allocating risk between the Sellers and the Purchaser instead of establishing these matters as facts and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company's public disclosures.

In connection with the closing of the FC2 Business Sale, on December 30, 2024, the Company made a change of control payment of $4.2 million to SWK pursuant to the Royalty Agreement, and upon such payment the Royalty Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms.
