Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 17, 2014, our subsidiary, Hauppauge Computer Works Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a strategic Funding and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Brooklyn Development Company (“BDC”), an entity affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer, Ken Plotkin.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, BDC will fund the external development costs (“Development Costs”) of a product line internally identified as “Brooklyn” (“Brooklyn”).

 

We will, in turn, license the Brooklyn technology from BDC for the manufacture and sale of products based on the Brooklyn technology. In return we shall pay BDC a royalty of 10% of the total sales revenue from the sale of Brooklyn technology or Brooklyn-based products. At such time when the total royalties paid by the Company to BDC equal the Development Costs, the royalty rate will decrease from 10% to 5%. When such royalties amount to 200% of the Development Costs, BDC shall convey all rights and title in Brooklyn to us, whereupon the Brooklyn license and royalty payments thereon shall cease.

 

This transaction has been approved by a majority of our disinterested directors in accordance with our Code of Ethics.
