Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on February 26, 2023, Molekule Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Molekule”), entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 26, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Molekule, Aura Smart Air Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Aura”) and Avatar Merger Sub Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of Molekule.

 

On August 14, 2023, Molekule informed Aura that it was terminating the Merger Agreement, in accordance with Section 8.02 and Section 8.01(c)(i) of the Merger Agreement. The Company believes that Aura has committed a material and incurable breach of Section 6.02 of the Merger Agreement such that Molekule is entitled to terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i)(B) of the Merger Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the termination of the Merger Agreement, Molekule intends to continue discussions with Aura regarding mutually beneficial future sales, marketing and technology collaboration and intends to continue discussions regarding the parties’ current arrangements in connection with, and certain disagreements under, the Technology Collaboration Agreement and Co-Distribution Agreement entered into contemporaneously with the Merger Agreement.
