Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement
Reference is made to the description
of the License and Exclusive Distribution Agreement, or License Agreement, dated as of December 24, 2025 between Emmaus Life Sciences,
Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Emmaus” and the “company”) and NeoImmuneTech, Inc.
(KOSDAQ: 950220.KQ), or NIT, reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December
31, 2025, which description is incorporated herein, pursuant to which we granted NIT an exclusive (including as to Emmaus) license to
all our rights to market, sell and distribute Endari® (prescription grade L-glutamine oral powder) and any generic equivalents, or
the Products, in sickle cell disease, or the Field, in the U.S. and its territories and possession and Canada, referred to as the Territory.
On March 2, 2026, Emmaus and NIT entered into the Exclusive Supply Agreement contemplated by the License Agreement. Subject to the occurrence
of the “Effective Date” of the License Agreement, pursuant to the Exclusive Supply Agreement we will agree to supply exclusively
to NIT, and NIT will agree, subject to certain exceptions, to purchase exclusively from us all of NIT’s requirements for the Products
under the License Agreement at a purchase price based upon our cost of production plus a specified double digit percentage margin.
The Effective Date of the License
Agreement is subject to NIT’s obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and licensing to sell and distribute the Product and
other specified conditions, and there is no assurance that the Effective Date will occur. The License Agreement may be terminated by either
party if the Effective Date does not occur by October 1, 2026 unless the failure to occur is due to our wrongful acts.
The foregoing descriptions of
certain material terms of the License Agreement and of the material terms of the Exclusive Supply Agreement are not complete and are qualified
by reference to the full text of the same, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2025 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and are incorporated herein
by reference.
