Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 15, 2021, Seelos Corporation ("STI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company"), and Phoenixus AG f/k/a Vyera Pharmaceuticals AG ("Vyera"), entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Asset Purchase Agreement by and between STI and Vyera, dated March 6, 2018 (the "Initial Agreement"), as amended by a first amendment thereto entered into on May 18, 2018 (the "First Amendment"), a second amendment thereto entered into on December 31, 2018 (the "Second Amendment"), and third amendment thereto entered into on October 15, 2019 (the "Third Amendment" and the Initial Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Initial Agreement, STI acquired the assets and liabilities of Vyera related to a product candidate currently referred to as SLS-002 (intranasal ketamine) and agreed, among other things, to pay Vyera a mid-teens percentage royalty on STI's net sales of SLS-002 (the "Royalty").

Pursuant to the Amendment, STI has agreed to pay Vyera an aggregate of $9.0 million in cash in the following installments: $3.0 million by February 16, 2021; an additional $3.0 million by June 15, 2021; and a final $3.0 million by September 15, 2021 (collectively, the "Payments"). In consideration for the Payments, the Royalty rate will be reduced from a mid-teens percentage to a mid-single digit percentage upon the date the Payments are made in full.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
