Entia Biosciences, Inc. (OTCMKTS:ERGO) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 21, 2017, we received an executed, definitive
licensing agreement (the License) with GROH Beauty Corp (the
Licensee) under which we granted certain exclusive worldwide
rights to manufacture and distribute our GROH beauty products.
The License calls for a front-end license fee, half of which is
non-refundable and the other half of which is subject to a number
of factors during a due diligence period, as well as royalties
over a period of years, also subject to the completion of the due
diligence period, until the license is paid in full and thereby
becomes an exclusive perpetual license of the Licensee. The total
value of the license fees and royalties to us is $1,150,000. The
License calls for and was accompanied by a separate executed
agreement under which we are to manufacture and sell our ErgoD2
compound exclusively to the Licensee for its use in the cosmetic
and beauty care markets. As this manufacturing agreement provides
for price adjustments and is expected to run for a number of
future years concurrent with the License, its positive value to
us is inestimable at this time. Additionally, the License calls
for a separate agreement through which our Chief Science and
Technology Officer, Dr. Marvin Hausman, will provide consulting
services to the Licensee.
